Approaching 5 months Good morning sober family. Iāve started romanticizing the drink again but I know it doesnāt lead to a good place so I wonāt pick up, stay away from the first one, right?
Iām going to continue focusing on health and fitness (weightless rt now) and I like to remind myself when I was obsessed with road cycling events in the past I was a complete nondrinker so itās not that far a reach to be that again!
My rewards are a strong cappuccino and being here with all you wonderful sharers and spending time with my Hunny at home and grateful to spend time with my wise, confident sponsor!
I know Iāve got a ways to go to be productive again, as Iām on a mental health disability claim through work insurance. So today donāt pick up, workout and help out around the home and must remember I have no enemies, donāt be afraid of people, people are friendly!!

I wish everyonee the same great day I had! Sober!

I had trouble with this for quite awhile my first year. It wasnāt an urge to drink. It was big time romanticizing. It drove me crazy. Some days I even got depressed and couldnāt do anything. But as long as I didnāt pick up it was a win. One thing that helped was to change things up. I was listening to my favorite Christian music playlist for strength. But I couldnāt stop romanticizing a nice bottle. After beating myself up for awhile. I finally changed my music. And it went away. I wished I had thought of it earlier. So I try and change things up when this happens. Walk a different route, drive a different route. Sit in a different chair. Etcā¦.
Keep up the good work Owen.
Iām glad your here.

Hi guys checking in Day 126,
Had surgery yesterday to remove most of my stomach for weightloss. Had some pain meds overnight, but now have weaned down to just Tylenol yay!
I will get rid of the rest of my Percocet (most of it) as soon as I can drive to a pharmacy, but have no desire to use it.
Clear fluids for me the next few days!
Love you all and keep up the great sobriety work.

Iām glad youāre here to Eric! Thanks for responding. Yes, Change things up like breaking out of a boredom routine and get interested in some activity. Didnāt think about drinking when I was at the gym today, did I? 
Enjoy the rest of your day Eric

This morning as Iām reading my book, drinking my coffee, watching my cockatoos enjoy there breakfast, I really thought about how grateful I am to now have my freedom back ā¦ For a decade I was not free. I had the choice to be free but I never took it because I was so deep in my addiction I couldnāt see past itā¦but now I am free and I am so gratefulā¦
Also, Iām reading the untethered soul by michael a. Singerā¦ I highly recommend it 
@Clarity Sarah I canāt remember if Iāve already told you about this book or not??
