Anyone can stay sober for 5 or 10 years but how any of us do the first week I’ll never know. Congratulations on your courage

Checking in. Only day 3 but I feel okay. Having cravings but fighting them. Having a bit of anxiety tonight but drinking tea to calm me down and distracting myself. My man is gone at work for the week so I’m alone, except my fur babies, we travel for work so I’m away from my family and friends. It’s hard for me to be alone, but I’m dealing with it. Wishing nothing but the best for everyone on here❤️

Nice!!!
Congrats on your 1st week!!!
Early morning check. Sober and hang-over free., I love it!
I just finished my 30 day push-up challenge, the last 3 days where difficult, but I managed to complete the challenge. I love challenges, they keep me going and they focus my mind on something positive instead of drinking. Looking for a new challenge not sure what to do yet. Any tips are welcome.
Today I will stay sober, whatever happens a drink will not solve this problem, it will make it worse.
Have a nice sober day my friends!
@Becsta So true! Thank you for reminding me this.
@Rockstar24777 I mist out on your epic milestone. Congratulations! you are such an example of how it can be done.

Your are doing a great job! 3 days is awesome! You are in early recovery like me, so every day not drinking is a great victory.
Going for a long walk always helps me to distract myself. It’s great craving therapy!
Wish you all the best!

#Day 1245 
What a night!
This night was an example of how much better life is for me and all around me without drinking.
I had to call the emergency line in the middle of the night!! I woke up around 1 o’clock because my soon to be husband was groaning out of pain. He hardly could talk and had difficulty breathing. He had pain a little below the chest and in the shoulder. The alarm in my head went off full size!
I phoned and the ambulance came. They made a heartfilm and did some tests. They think it is a inflamed intercostal muscle.
Never heard of it and never knew it is this painful.
They said it’s often misunderstood with a heartattack. Glad I did what I had to do.
But what about when I was still drinking?
That would be a total disaster. Probably I would be knock out ore too dizzy to do anything 
Conclusion: life is so much better sober even when in bytes you in de *** for a bit

- Coffee. A couple of late shifts ahead. Happy I went to the gym yesterday. I’ll be there again tomorrow. Today I’m starting the hunt for a new mattress. I feel part of my shoulder problems stems from sleeping on one that is too firm. Knowledge is power, so I’ll be doing some mattress research this morning. Sober and clean.
Have as good a day as you all can friends. Make it clean and sober. There’s no other way for all of us here. Love from Amsterdam.
@SoberWalker Scary sh*t Claudia! Excellent work on handling it. Life is so much better sober, especially when it bytes you in the a**!!!

Amsterdam is beautiful @Mno - I would love to go.
Well done on everyone making those milestones, big and small.
I struggled with the worst cravings so far yesterday, late afternoon/early evening. I was almost in tears of frustration. Couldn’t think about food, just wine. I made it through them though so feeling really proud. Spent a lot of time on here and downloaded Sim City to my phone (blast from the past!) Kept me on track. Not the most romantic valentines of my life, but some things are more important atm. It has taught me that the cravings do pass, just have to distract distract distract!!
