DAY 3 -

Been sober 3 whole days now, and I am loving the way I feel. Not waking up with a terrible headache or automatically getting sick feels really great. I also feel like I have a lot more energy!

Hoping everyone else is having as many positive vibes as I am right now, and if not, then I’m sending you some your way! Keep kicking it!

  1. Coffee. Finally my days off are here. All six of 'm yay! Today will be just for me. Not sure what I’ll do jet. Not much probably. And make sure not to feel guilty about that. Work has been intense since Christmas. I need some down time.
    One thing I won’t do today is numbing myself with booze or drugs. The longer I’m sober and clean the more unappealing that idea becomes. Coming here daily gives me all the reasons and reminders why I don’t want to go there no more. Never again. Sober me can deal with life. Sort of :wink:. One day at a time.
    Have as good a day as you all can friends. Make it clean and sober. It truly is the only way for all of us. Love from Amsterdam.

@Jonachav123 Glad to see you Jonathan. I do strongly believe that anyone who tries to “control” their drinking has an alcohol problem and the only true control they (me included) have over it is abstention. Success on your road friend.
@Jennajen Big hugs friend. Stuff will improve. It will.
@Dan531 800 Is huge Dan. Good times and bad ones. ODAAT. Congrats and thanks for being here and always keeping it real.
@Singtone There it is! There you are! Makes me happy this morning. I hope you are too. It’s well earned. Huge congrats on your sober trip around the sun my friend. Awesome work!

Day 45 and counting!
Not to much to report over here. On the tail end of night 6 in the office, have today off so after some sleep it’s gonna be a well deserved day of sitting on the couch in my pajamas then an AA meeting in the evening, followed by more couch and pajamas.
Checked out the movies Spider-Man: No Way Home and the Tom Hanks movie Finch, as well as the first episode to the show The Book of Boba Fett. I highly recommend all of them.
Aside from that I have my apartment pretty well set up now. Aside from a bit of light cleaning and waiting for my friend (the previous tenant) to clean out the last few things he left behind.

6:20AM, shift ends in 40min, 15min walk home, I am so ready for bed.

  1. Up early. Feeling good this am. Slept well. I’m liking the early morning routine it’s peaceful. Mommy time…where I pray meditate and get a workout/yoga in. Necessary self-care as a single mom of 3.:smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Going through the avid readers thread yesterday I noticed a book The 5am club that @apes2020 posted. Any feedback from those who read?

Good sober 24 all :purple_heart::pray:t5:

Checking in on day 2. It’s noon over here.
This morning I told myself ‘today I choose to be sober’. Something I haven’t said to myself in months! Since last summer I think.

I don’t really have plan or goal this time. Just taking life day by day…

Good morning! Later today will mark one whole week! This is the longest I’ve been alcohol free in quite a long time. I’ve been doing okay with my sister here. Mostly focusing on recovering from surgery. I’m grateful to have that behind me and grateful recovery is going well. I still can’t imagine giving up alcohol forever. I’m aiming first for dry January. Then I’ll set my next goal.

Oh so much cheaper! And better for the mind and body.

I made some imitation crab with butter and lemon, BBQ chicken sandwiches, a brownie for dessert and then nice cheese and crackers. Trying to put some weight on this skinny ass that my using took away.

I appreciate you responding and asking!
