I’m so proud of you! I think it makes a big difference when you share. I even find it hard to share on here, but honestly it’s helping me figure myself out so much more than keeping it inside or even just journalling on my own. You are inspiring me to join a meeting. I still haven’t done that. Thank you♥️

Hey all just checking in. About a week away from my 3 months. Finally got some sunshine and fresh air. My neighbor offered to drive me to the library and I walked back. Or waddled back, rather. Like a woman in her 3rd trimester. I’m really upset that my weight exploded for no reason. And more upset that I can’t afford to have this fluid drained; it’s getting hard to breathe and I’ll eventually have to go to the emergency room. 
It’s so awesome living in the only “civilized” country that doesn’t have a health care system.
Worse than my physical health is my lack of enthusiasm about doing anything. I look at all my camping gear and wonder why I bothered getting any of it. Didn’t clean my apartment this weekend either. Just feeling poopy about life. Sorry to rant!

I’m seeing my doctor tomorrow. Unfortunately this is the last time I see her since she’s moving. She’s the only good doctor I’ve ever had, so I’m hoping she can reccomended me someone else who is good.

Day 12 of no self harm.
Feeling the tiniest bit better today. I’ve been going days without food and then when I do finally eat it shocks my stomach and I feel incredibly sick. Ate a salad today. That’s all I’ve eaten today, but my stomach was able to handle that. Baby steps. Also had some better sleep. Ended up sleeping in until noon was nice. Still not very restful, but I was at least able to stay asleep this time.
Have a much needed doctor’s appointment tomorrow so I will update you all with how that goes tomorrow . Much love

I am Sorry you’re going through a rough patch there physically and emotionally Mark. That sure makes life things harder all around. And you’re coming up on a big 90 days. I lost a lot of enthusiasm, bordering on depression for a few milestones like 90 and 300 even though I knew it was coming. I just had to hang in there.
After I hung in there and did not drink. Victory for one more lousy day was mine.
Keep checking in. And sharing it here with us.
Don’t be shy

Thanks for the doggie hug, Eric! I feel better already! I’m about to play a meditation app to help me sleep (the DST threw me off a bit, almost forgot to reset my alarm clock).

Checking in on Day 180…….and counting the longest stretch of AF living I have stitched together in 28 years. I’m unabashedly feeling pretty damn ecstatic! 
Throughout the many months I have spent on and off TS over the last couple years, I have always found truth in the mantra that “mindset is everything.” Those who know me from my earliest time on this forum, know that like anyone else on here, my mindset has definitely wavered on many occasions. So what changed for me this time around? Six months ago I quit secretly hoping and looking for how I could make a relationship with alcohol work. I instead decided it no longer has a place in my life……I don’t drink anymore….end of story. Mindset IS everything.

#Day 1272 
Going for a walk today and then work. I had a relaxed sober weekend. It was filled with activaties but nice ones so they gave me energy.
Proud at myself because I made a long walk on my own (20 km/12,4 miles).
Heard about someone in my inner circle being very drunk at a party. So glad I do not drink anymore

Congratulations Dana! Love seeing the numbers going up for you. Super proud!
Shrug off the supervisor, sometimes people only see what’s on their agenda and clearly your supervisor just needs to take a step back and realise you are doing your job well and looking after your clients needs as an individual with dignity and allowing them some much needed independence.
Well done!

Checking in Happy Sober and Hang-over free.
Its been a while since my last post. I decided not to use my phone or watch any news while on my hiking trip.
It was a beautiful trip, we walked for 90km total in 6 days. We walked true caves, steep hills, and valleys. The weather was amazing, sunshine all day… I am so great full for this.
It was nice to be away from the world and all communication for a while
I feel recharged, relieved and reborn. Next trip in 3 months… Lets go 
Have a nice sober day my friends!

Coffee. Switching from early to late shift. Glad to sleep in a bit. Had a dream I dreamed in 100 variations already, being back in school, not having finished one subject and ready to fail examination again because I didn’t study for it.
So I guess there’s still lessons for me to learn. I will only learn them when I remain sober and clean, one day at a time. And that goes for all of us here. Have as good a week as you all can friends. Make it clean and sober or nothing will come for it. Love from Amsterdam where spring’s call is getting louder every day.
@ShadowFax Looks like a great trip Roland! Happy for you friend. Good idea to leave technology behind too.
