You my dear are fucking amazing x
I hope your proud of yourself because I am!
Truely honored to know you and your journey!
Hitting two weeks! Went to âhappy hourâ event for work and was the only one not drinking!! I had a ginger âbeerâ i havenât been feeling like i am missing out for a change!!
How you feel and what you think are no longer important, these 2 things are what got people like us drunk in the first place. Now all you gotta say is â This is how I feel so what should I do about itâ Now is a time for action.
Congratulations on 2 days I wish you well on your journey
Day 52 checking in one foot infront of the other
This made my day. I missed so much, and am so grateful I have a few years to be more present with my kids before they take off. Thanks so much!
You are doing all the right things, my friend. I too used to stop on the way home from AA meetings to buy alcohol, usually in the morning. I just had to keep digging, and the pandemic wasnât helpful. Keep checking in and using your tools. Youâve got a great attitude and are on your way. I know it!
Congratulations Drew with your months milestone!!
And 43 is still young Happy birtday on front!
- Coffee. Free! Weather looks nice but I did my biking yesterday going to therapy and back. Think Iâll stick with spinning class in the afternoon and not do much otherwise. Yesterday was intense. After the funeral of a resident I attended, and purely by coincidence (?), I ran into the grave of an old friend I used to drink and drug with back in my high school days. Him drinking himself to death 5 years ago shocked me but didnât make me think about my own drinking. Or maybe a little but not enough.
Group therapy had its own challenges, but all in all it was a good session. Made me exhausted though. Coming home, There was one moment I remembered how I used to open a bottle of wine straight after closing the door behind me. How I used to think that I needed that to unwind, to relax, to process (??), to think (???) about what happened that day.
Never again. Drinking is stupid and all it did was push me deeper in the hole. Drinking last night -any night- would obliterate any progress made during the day, physical, mental, spiritual. Never again. Iâm so happy to be free. And Iâll take the occasional urge or memory of past using for what it is: a memory, a knee jerk reaction to a certain situation, a call from an addiction that Iâve starved and will keep starving one day at a time from here to eternity. There was nothing good about it.
So have a good day all, or at least as good as you all can. Make it sober and clean for starters. It helps lots. Love.
@icebear Double congrats Drew!
@Ravikamor Love that Rebecca!
Congratulations on your months. Great achievement!

@Mno made me think Iâm happy you quit drinking and drugging so you werenât in that graveyard or an urn somewhere, congrats on your daily rehabilitation.
I can totally relate. Such a wonderful and precious time with ur daughter. U deserve it!
Day 458
On way home from a night out. An early, no pressure to drink event. I thought it would be easy-peasy-lemon-squeezy. It was scary-mary-lemon-peary.
Glad youâre safe. Time for a quiet evening & a restful sleep I hope
I drank heavily for over 30 years, too. Today is day 313 for me. We can do this.
I absolutely love this. Thanks for sharing. I love that feeling of feeling like a grown up. It never gets old.
Day 864 for me sober life = my best life. Itâs true. No matter how often I doubt it, I know that to live my best life, I gotta live the sober life
HBD Hope it is a great one
Checking in happily sober on day 54.
40 days and feeling great!!
Feeling so balanced and happy atm
