4 months today.
Woke up, walked, saw some pts, came home and went shopping with my sweet pea. Out of nowhere, MASSIVE craving at the grocery store. I am so very thankful that I was able to pay attn to what was going through my mind and tell it to eff off. That addiction asshole tried 3 more times while we were in that part of the store. It was really cool to watch those thoughts and realize that I didnā€™t have to act on them.

Everyone here deserves happiness and respect. That is all. < 3 Have a great night. Iā€™m eating ice cream!

@Minatasha Someone on here told me that u cannot ā€˜productiveā€™ yourself out of feeling bad. Sometimes u just have to give it time. Are u seeing a dr about it?

@SadMemeQueen My goodness, how wonderful! I hope u can be a great support to each other.
Just read ur next post. Words fail me. Some families are just extremely dysfunctional. In the future you can make ur own life and fill it with people who care for u. You are already starting with ur friend.

You got this.

Checking in day 32. Some small pangs with the nice weather on a Sunday here- normally a perfect day for the pub. Have been to the gym, and out with the family this morning enjoying some sun. Going to relax, bake some cookies this afternoon and get ready for the work week.
Wishing you all a relaxed sober weekend :heart:

Oh boy. I know this part of it too. I struggled with eating disorders as a teen (anorexia, then binging and bulimia). It was so serious I was hospitalized. Things with food are good now. If you want to chat, please message me anytimeā¤ļø
Congrats on skipping the prosecco!

Hit my 2 weeks this morning. Feels pretty good! Iā€™m currently in my fav little town not far from where I live, and this is the first time that I have ever been here and NOT had a drink or 27, we also spent time in another fav little famous town not far from where we are staying today, which I always drink there tooā€¦ in fact, one of my most embarrassing drunk stories happened in the second little town, but I managed to stay sober!! I am here because my kiddo wanted to have a ghost adventure for her birthday and this place, and the other place, is pretty haunted. There are 16 ghosts in the Hotel we are staying at alone, with the one floor above us being the most haunted, we went up there last night and as soon as I started up the stairs I got a headache, that went away as soon as I went back down to our floor lol! So far its been pretty fun, we go home tomorrow. I did go down to the bar in the Hotel, to get some cranberry juice and limes to mix with my sparkling mineral water I had brought with me. The bar is the only place I can get that stuff here, its a very very old hotel and they donā€™t have room service. I find that the sparkling water also helps big time with the cravings. So I went and got my juice, and I did think about how easy it would be to just get a shot too, but I told myself, I said ā€œSELF! you have made it 2 weeks, you hit another milestone today, you donā€™t need that shit no matter how easy it is to getā€ So I took my juice and went back to my room, took a shower, we did some face masks, and now we are relaxing watching Bobs Burgers (my go to for tv noise) while I catch up on the group and share my day of soberness. I am proud of myself for being in some of my most triggering places. And I know having my kiddo with me makes it so much easier to choose not to drink, but at the end of the day, it is still my choice, and Iā€™m glad I have chosen NOT to drink for 14 days in a rowā€¦ and looking forward to more.

Coffee. I slept OK. Lunaā€™s OK too. Sheā€™s eating lots. I have a working Sunday ahead. Last month of my current employment has started. Shouldā€™ve done this new job thing years ago but that goes for living sober and clean too and Iā€™m still happy itā€™s happening now. One day at a time.

Have as good a day as you all can friends. Make it clean and sober or nothing will come of it. Love from Amsterdam.

Iā€™m glad Luna is doing ok. Also, I know those thoughts on wishing weā€™d done things sooner, but your right, itā€™s just great these things are happening now. Iā€™m happy for youā¤ļø

I didnā€™t know until a short time ago that AF meant alcohol free. So I was reading everyoneā€™s posts as their number of days and AS FUCK!

Lol. Me too. It took me a while, and even after I knew it meant alcohol free, I still read it as ā€œAs Fuckā€ sometimes :rofl:
