I love that show. Already watch the whole series while it was running. I love Kristen Johnston and she’s sober. She’s hilarious. And pretty cool on Twitter.

Checking in day 37,5:

My 4 day weekend has ended. Once in a while I have those long weekends off. Normaly those weekends where perfect for drinking.
I could drink 3 days in a row and then have one day to sober up and make sure that I am not drunk any more when going to work.

So normally I would feel anxious, guilty, ashamed, agitated and hopeless before starting my shifts.
It wasn’t easy to stay sober but I did it.
It’s good to feel normal and alive again :grin::wink::muscle:

Have a nice day my sober friends

One day at a time we can do this!

This huge Bell is part of an memorial in the area of The Hague which I visited yesterday. More than 250 people of the dutch resistance where executed here by the Nazi in WW2.

Checking in, day 1785. My twins have had a sober mom for almost 5 years now. I wake up every day and am not hung over! What could be better? I am running my own consulting firm and have a therapist helping me address my fears about how unsafe that sometimes feels. Things are so much better than they were 5 years ago and are always getting better. :cherry_blossom:

@Clarity You are so awesome, dumping that bottle. That’s a lot of willpower, making the choice to say “no”.
@Dazercat 22 months! Amazing! Kickin’ ass and taking names! I’m sorry you have to leave your babies in a kennel again. I know how hard it is. I hope you have a good time. I’m sure it will be great to have the experience with no hangovers.
@ShadowFax Great picture of the bell. So much history there. Also, you’re doing great. Keep it up!

  1. Coffee. Work. Will it ever stop? Naw, I’m OK. I’m sober and clean. Taking it one day at a time. You all help me to do that, more than any of you will ever know. Let’s keep going all. Just for today. Love from Luna and me.

Not a good day yesterday at work, lots of things came up that I did not know what to do, and noone to ask as I was at home, did send some emails asking for some advice but no replies. I actually had 30 mins or so where my stomach was pure anxiety and I was sick, breathing heavy etc . I took a break, went back to my desk, did what I could. Driving in today just to get some help be easier if I can speak to people direct. Albeit horrible few hours I did not cave and drink as I always have done. The gym in eve helped to even out my mood… do wish I did not suffer like this but I do, and its now about learning how to rationalise those emotions, doing it sober I feel it could be possible. Work in progress

Wishing you all a strong, sober day

Day 1141 :footprints:
Goodmorning! Changed my profilname yesterday. Maybe you noticed? You know me as Buts, I named myself after my cat. But because someone nearby maybe join this app I decided to make my name less personal. So after 3 years being here as Buts meet: SoberWalker :grin:
The name suits me well because walking in nature was and is a big part of my recovery!!


Picture made yesterday from my 5 km walk before work.
I wish you all a great day including myself :sunglasses:

@Butterflymoonwoman You look peaceful yet determined. I love it!

@Clarity I bet that glug-glug-glug felt great! Go you!

Day 449
Kids and parents at the house today. There were cups of cola and coffee on the table, which my son accidentally mixed. It was a waste, so I drank it, and holy moly did I get flash backs of black russian and coke, which I used to drink at a bar that made it devastatingly strong. So many flash backs recently! Feeling a bit haunted, but trying to turn it into gratitude for a reminder that that is not me anymore.
