Great job on your 600 days
Day 365
A full year. This seemed so impossible not long ago. Iām so proud of myself. Still canāt believe it sometimes tbh. Iām happy to be healing, growing, learning and unlearning everyday. At times I do get sad at the fact that I spend most of 20s drinking my life away, slowly killing myself, simply existing instead of actually living. So much time wasted, time Iāll never get back. Iām 28 now, so I still have a long time ahead of me if I live to be 80+. The suicidal thoughts i had are pretty much non-existent. Iām aware of the fact that having to deal with my sobriety is something im gonna have to work at for a lifetime, and although it does seem scary at times, I feel ready for it. Im pretty good at keeping the craving at bay. I never really got into AA, but I do think That I should try Smart, or some sort of group. I feel like having a sponsor and just being around other people that are also recovering will help keep me good as time goes on. Ready for year 2. One day at time. Sorry if this post seems alil bit all over the place, just want to clear my mind. Appreciate you all.
Day 75 AF
After a few deflating days I feel my mood is on the improve. Feeling grateful for the things I have and pleased for what I have achieved thus far.
Day One: Hour One Down
Just downloaded the app and joined. I hope it helps me stay on track and motivated.
Congratulations! What a fun way to celebrate your 600 days!
So itās day 36 and Iāve been out and about with friends without too much trouble.
But recently my boyfriend got news that he was accepted for this once in a life time job opportunity. I wonāt be able to see him or call/text him for about 6 months because you canāt bring your phone with you. Writing letters is the only possible form of communication. I knew this was coming up and I knew in my heart he would get the gig. Iām trying to remain positive and give him the encouragement he needs because Iām not the only one heās leaving behind.
But right now in this moment Iām just sad as fuck. For the first time in maybe never I have to actually process my feelings without using or drinking. During my last 6 month stretch of true sobriety I shoved everything down and didnāt really grow as a person. I really have to put in the work this time around. I canāt help but miss him already but I refuse to let that be another piss poor excuse for falling back into old habits. I guess if life was easy and simple all the time, the good moments would be meaningless.
Congrats on your year, thatās fantastic. Yea, hereās to year 2

Coffee. Yesterday wasnāt the best day of my life. But it was still good because I stayed sober and clean. As I have every intention to be today too. Weāll see about tomorrow when it arrives, but my plan is to make that clean and sober too. One day at a time. As we all should.
Weāre here. Our lives are infinitely better without the use of any substance. Life is still not easy but thereās nothing using would make better. Only much worse. Have as good a day as you all can friends. Sober and clean. Love from my place.
Congratulations on your one year! What a great accomplishment!
Day 81. I think my ticker changes at 1900. So 81 82ish. still anxious. Did some breathing last night. I knew I was anxious, but as the breathing took hold, I realized just HOW much anxiety I was actually feeling >:( I have such pervasive hypervigilance I am always questioning myself as to my perception of reality. Some days I just wanna sit in my closet and shut it all out. IWND with any of yall today!! Send positive vibes, prayers, or whatever you do so I can find the source of the anxiety and yeet it tf outta my life!
