BeautifulâŠCongrats! Iâll get that key ring in 25 days too. I also had that feeling during meetings in the beginning that maybe I wasnât part of the group. But because I kept coming, that feeling has disappeared and I feel at home. Also logical, it always takes time getting used to be part at a new group.
Iâve been working since April 1st and my alarm goes off at 5 too if I have an early shift. I still find that very difficult, but going to bed early helps.
Discipline therefore seems to be the key wordđŹ

Definately !
Getting to know, understand and accept myself. Because of that, I am no longer guided by anger, hate and self-hatred, but loving kindness and a willingness to be forgiving to others.
Slowly getting to the core of my biggest problems : insecurities and emotions / feelings. Getting into contact with them, instead of living in a 100% mental conceptualised interpretation of the world.
Learning to connect with others, as well as myself.
Guess the best description of the change is, that Iâve asked for a sponsor a few days ago.
Being ready to learn deal with (and reckognise) feelings, I definately need help.
Those last 4 words Iâve only said twice in my life. The first time was my day 1âŠ
And, my sponsor is male. What has been a no-go untill a week ago for me.
So yes, lots of changeâŠ

Hello, All! Still conquering ODAAT.
Seems like everything I watch on Netflix has people drinking. All the time. I finished Ozark and one of the characters was drinking straight out of a bottle. Made me cringe; its gross. I donât even miss that poison, and for that I am so thankful. My last binge really did a number on me, and thatâs a good thing, because it makes me know that I will NEVER go back to that place again. I wake up every morning with no anxiety and no regrets or worries related to booze. Itâs true freedom.
Stay strong everyone, itâs beyond worth it! 
We got this!!

WellâŠOh geezâŠjust sitting. Looking at used Volvo wagons for my 16year old daughter. I donât know what to do with this amount of free time. I want weed! I want alcohol! Anything to get the day goingâŠUgh. Yes, Iâm soberđ Iâm maintaining myself.
Ok, I had a face to face interview with a Developer today. Went wellâŠjust not enough money. However, the upside could be LIFE CHANGING.
Today is my sweetheartâs birthday-Went to Whole Foods and bought a fancy dessert. Bought her some worn Jean shorts and some chocolate. Good day!
HmmmmâŠ.these are long days. Iâm used to working hard and not resting. I should be more mindful of this time 
Just laying here in my listening roomâŠWishing my bud @Alycia the best and my sober twin @Deep encouragement.
On the turntableâŠ.

Day 79
Itâs already the afternoon here and my day has been half decent. Every day is slowly getting better mentally. I still feel tired but Iâm being more productive and got more done today so I call this a win. Nothing else to really say so far. Itâs been a regular day!
Hope everyone has an addiction free day!

Oh I find it hard when Iâm not busy too! Hope you find some things to fill your time or are able to just enjoy this moment. Any chance you could ask for more money with the job? Or if it could be life changing maybe the salary would go up eventually soon enough? Good luck with things keep us posted.

Oh my gosh I was thinking exactly the same thing I actually vocalized it out loud last night about how they normalize drinking on TV so much. My husband and I were watching a family show with our 16 year old and the parents in the show are downstairs in the basement drinking all the time and joking about wine parties and stuff! I just donât think it should be so normalized especially in shows that kids are watching. I know my daughter is 16, but she is a young 16 and I think this show was like a Disney show or something made for much younger viewers.
I was also just talking to my husband about how I canât believe the difference when I wake up and Iâm not struggling with anxiety anymore first thing in the morning. I was talking about how I thought I used to drink because of anxiety but it was actually the complete opposite and now that Iâm not drinking I just feel so much calmer. Not to say I donât still struggle with anxieties from time to time of course, but the difference is night and day.

Evening everyone, checking in with 26 days now. I have made it to 26, but only just. I have had such a lovely day, and my husband is out. It has taken all my willpower to not celebrate and treat myself to a âlovely night inâ like I used to. Wine, TV to myself, total relaxation.
But, I didnât do it. I have a good book, nice tea and am very relaxed. And proud of myself. I do need to work out why this last week has been so hard. There have been a lot of moments where I am taking it 5 minutes at a time.
Hope everyone else is doing well.

Day 23
My mood is starting to be a bit more stable, still eating way too much, hoping is a phase, just like the morning nervous nausea I am experiencing since back to work.
Have a great day or night everyone!

Hey guys- checking in with 36 days. Itâs feeling pretty good, no strong urges, I donât have the time to drink, I donât know how I managed to spend so much time and money on alcohol, talk about burying my head in the sand.
@michaeljlogan74 thanks for thinking of me, still digging those killer vinyls! Stay focused, good luck with the car hunt!
@LabLover222 congrats on the 130 days- thatâs mega! I agree about the alcohol placement on Netflix. Itâs in everything, I finished the tv show casual and they drank non stop. Itâs gotta be alcohol advertisement or something. Itâs ridiculous 
@HappyButtersStotch ahhh awesome numbers, so happy for you. Super inspiring
So grateful for you all, have an awesome day, be kind to yourselves x
