Just wanted to check in day winded down years coming to and end doing pretty good despite all the ups and downs. No desire to drink holidays arenāt too burdensome, ready to just get through on to a new year and another 24 hrs. Day 557 about done with just want to keep the momentum i have rolling, stick to my program seems to be working for me. Hope everyone is enjoying the holidays, seasonal depression usually hits me pretty hard around these winter months but im managing well. Try to just keep up my self care plenty of rest and try to eat well, need to do more exercising but soon as the days get warmer ill be out. Good to see everyone here giving the support when needed. For everyone sharing their stories and helping me maintain my sobriety.
im greatfull for everyone of you here that take the time out the day to share your inspiration, strength, and hope.

Checking in on Day 21 today I had to process and learn to deal with letting a toxic partner go. Heās been very toxic and manipulative has done nothing good for me at all and used to make me feel like I was the problem. When I had my relapse 21 days ago I knew he was apart of the emotional trauma I was going through, I decided to distance myself and Iāve been ignoring him for 21 days so today he sent a really nasty message and it hurt my feelings but I sat in them and said I deserve better, I know I do. So i blocked him on all social media and deleted his number. The old me wouldāve ran to a drink to soothe my heartbreak and probably wouldāve ended up at his house, but i just got home from work
came here to vent and I turned on the 319 meeting on zoom. I know life and healing from letting him go will take time but doing it sober will be the true healing I need to recognize and know my worth. Sorry for the long rant lol have a blessed night everyone!

Day 713
Doing better today.
Feeling good.
If staying sober this Christmas means missing out on holiday fun just remember: You are not missing out when you are healing yourself.

Congratulations on your 3 weeks Kiki.
You do deserve better. Good of you to have recognized that. And great victory dealing with your feelings sober. Iāve been having some difficult feelings myself to deal with lately. Iām doing it sober too.
Keep venting. Thatās what weāre here for.
But, itās the sharing that heals. Not the person that listens.
Believing In Myself.
Iām glad your here.

Booked my campsite near Brighton despite bad back and possible restrictions due to go on 27th, uncertainty is unsettling but fingers crossed we can go, so want walks on beach and exploring. We shall see, but nice to have a plan. Working today shall see how sitting in a chair for 7 hours go.
Wishing you all a strong 24 hours

do you remember when I sent you that coin and someone ripped the envelope open and took it, well the same happened with a 1 year sobriety coin I posted to Ireland. You canāt bloody trust anyone these days especially alcoholic postmen in recovery

- Coffee. Celebrated the solstice yesterday by a glorious town walk with my friend yesterday in the most beautiful weather I can imagine. No wind, sun, crisp cold. Thanks to lockdown quiet in the streets too, but not dead. TBH ideal for a a couple of locals like us to stroll around. Sober and clean. Inadvertently misdirected some tourists towards some bar as they were looking for glĆ¼hwein. Which since last year is forbidden to sell to-go over here. And the bars themselves are closed. Sorry ladies. I donāt drink. That sort of stuff is not in my system no more. Never again.
Have as good a day as you can friends. Make it sober and clean. And remember the shortest day is done. At least in the Northern Hemisphere it is. Love from Amsterdam.

Good morning, early morning here. Day 10, I made it to double digits with more curveballs in the last 10 days with my own health being in the hospital and then health of my family but I made it. That is my silver lining so far today and Iām hoping to find more. I need to focus on making Christmas magical and memorable for my kids and thatās my priority over the next few days. Didnāt sleep much last night, didnāt expect to, but it does concern me for HALT purposes. Thank you to everyone for your support and I am wishing everyone has the most wonderful peaceful day ODAAT.

Not in a fantastic headspace, procrastination, resentments, etc. But always sober.

Good morning all!
My bags are packed and ready to go. Just have to get thru most of the last day of school before we can head out.
Iāve loaded up my kindle with lots of good reading, and I will be checking in here most days I would assume.
Iāve also packed a lot of tea. This will be my first AF vacation since the early 1980s and I canāt wait!
I wish you all a good day. Take care of yourselves before anyone else.
