Morning everyone, Day 11 here which means I made my 10 day milestone :blush:

I am back to work today after a few days off, when I eventually get off this sofa.

Feeling a bit brighter today after a couple of really gloomy days. Think I was processing the idea of giving up forever, and dealing with some unhelpful comments from friends. Apparently it isnā€™t fair to give up when there is a big celebration :unamused: I am hoping the cravings settle down soon as that early evening bit is very uncomfortable.

Well done everyone on all the milestones! I feel like I am right there with everyone achieving the smaller ones, and the big ones give me hope! Thanks for sharing everyone :blush:

  1. Coffee. A night of some wild dreaming and not much rest behind me. Well. Today is a new day. Iā€™m sober and clean. Itā€™s windy and wet but Iā€™m working late anyway. Boozing and drugging couldnā€™t be further from my mind this morning. Iā€™m OK and I will be too.
    Have a good Wednesday all. Make it sober and clean. Itā€™s the only way and itā€™s a much better way. Love from outside my window.

    @Nowenbrace Excellent work Owen! Big congrats friend.
    @SadMemeQueen 300? 300! Wow! Fantastic lady, huge congrats!
    @JennyH Thereā€™s no big milestones or small ones, just milestones, and they are all equally awesome. Yay you! Enormous congrats! Success at work. Forever is really long you know. Thatā€™s where One Day at a Time comes from. Weā€™ll see about tomorrow tomorrow. Today is what counts. And we got this today. As for unhelpful friends, yes. I feel it reflects badly on themselves the most. That and they donā€™t want to lose their drinking buddy. This is your life tough. Itā€™s up to you to make something out of it, not theirs. Hugs.

Well done on your milestone, I found the earliest ones the hardest so you are doing amazing. Some of my friends say I am boring I donā€™t drink , they found me funny ! It certainly was not funny to me, they never see me drinking in isolation along with the desperation, anxiety that went with that. You should be proud :medal_sports:

Good morning beautiful people! Well today is day 50! Iā€™m feeling pretty damn good considering in all these days of learning I have only had two extremely huge urges and one was in a dream of peer pressure and I refused to drink but it was there I could smell it and it was taunting me. Then I woke up.
Iā€™m grateful for productive busyness, and my role as a mother to be the best self I can be so my children can resemble the strength. Today is a good day! And as long as I keep fighting for me and my sobriety just ONE DAY AT A TIME! Then all will be good. Thank you TS for being positive support when I need it and having words of reason when I cant come up with them on my own. Positive energy sent to all. Have a most wonderful day!
