Hello, I am new here so im still trying to figure this out. Im on day 97 and this last month has been very challenging. I find myself staying inside a lot more with the feeling if I go out somewhere I will be tempted. A lot has happened since I quit drinking which makes this a lot harder but with what has happened I find myself stronger too, if that makes sense?

Welcome Fae. And congratulations on your 97 days of freedom. Iā€™m glad youā€™re here. This is a great place to get and give support. If you got any questions just ask. Someone is always around.

Thank-you, Iā€™m still stuck in the spot of finding freedom and finding out who I really am. But we all have to start somewhere! Staying positive!

Hello to my TS friends and support team. Checking in on 40 days and feeling fine.
The craving for chocolate is overwhelming in my case.
If they produce a chocolate bar, then rolled it in melted chocolate and dusted it in cocoa powder Iā€™d be a happy bunny :rabbit: with bad teeth :yum:

Day 459

So I decided to let my girls have a slumber party. We rented 2 hotel rooms. And made a night of it. Man, Iā€™m pretty confident I went temporarily insane for a Moment when I decided that was a good idea! But it was a success. All 14 girls were alseep by 12:30. We had dress up, pizza, makeup and popcorn and a movie. Yā€™all it was stressful AF. Definitely the kinda day that would have had me reaching for a bottle by 1 am. But I didnā€™t. I didnā€™t even have a desire! My girls are happy! They had fun. (I spent way too much money lol) but it feels good.
However if I ever decide to do this againā€¦ Iā€™m gonna need someone to slap me and ask me if Iā€™m back on that $h!t lol :rofl:
Hope everyone had a good day

Day 99. This started as a 100 day challenge for me to get me out of the gutter and back on track, but as I approach that mark tomorrow I can honestly say this is my new life and Iā€™m not going back to drink. Being sober has changed me and given me my life back :blue_heart:

Day 607

Husband suggested bbq for lunch which is great, he sees bbq as ā€˜his thingā€™, and I just let him get on with it. Then this afternoon was filling out beginning of semester school papers, and sewing name tags on sonā€™s PE clothes. First full week at work from tomorrow. At least the first classes are orientation and self introduction, which donā€™t take much concentration.
