Checking in daily 2 years, 3 months and im not sure on days. I am too lazy to go back to the page. Anyway, I got my step one done w my sponsor yesterday!! It took almost 3 hours but I am so happy I did it and am working the program… I love the program of NA and I am so happy it exists and that I am actually working a recovery program. I also got very personal and honest w my sponsor and told
Her some stuff I have never told anyone… she was so loving and caring. I felt free afterwards. Today the voice in my head that is negative wasn’t so loud. Work was busy and someone yelled at me and I got angry . It was a customer and I snapped back which I wasn’t too
Happy about but I just walked away and told someone else to deal with it. I need to work on being assertive… but yeah , I am so happy right now . I kind of started slacking on my walks and exercise the last however many weeks. I’m still the lowest I have weighed in the last 1 1/2 year but I am no where near close to my goal . I got
The motivation in to go back on my walks after work because that gets me in about 12-15000 steps a day… almost 700 calories burned. And the I got back on my workout but I deleted the email that has my schedule so I’m working on trying to get that back to me but I just did 100 Russian twists and 50 stair climbs. I lobe being active but I just want to get to my goal … but I know that no matter what size I am I will still have to deal with the internal struggles that make me feel guilt, shame and insecure. I know that by working a solid program, staying clean and doing therapy for my mental health and what not is going to help me work through those root issues … I am happy at the moment… thank you 
Checking in day 644.
I hope everyone is still working hard to kick ass here 
Sober life is sooo much worth it 
Have a good day !
A nap always makes the day better. Just looked around the apartment and I’m pleased. See, I used to be homeless and now that I have a place, I take care of it. Until I get on a bender. Then my place suffers the same neglect as my self care. But I got over myself and took care of it. Place looks better than it has in the last two months.
@Dansig That is sincerely one of the most heartwarming things I’ve ever read on TS! You really made my day, I’m happy for both of you! 
Awe thanks! Ur post totally made me smile too!!! Thanks for the support my friend!
it’s sooooo close 
I’ve got a sponsor ya’ll woot woot. Now the real work begins
Whats AF mean lol
Alcohol Free 
Omg that’s so funny I couldn’t figure it out of 
Checking in at the end of day 373. Today was an amazing day. We had a little Father’s day BBQ, and my dad was able to be there, along with other family in town. There was some beers and ciders there, and it actually felt good to be sober and present. It is so lovely and freeing not obsessing about the next drink, not scheming ways to sneak more alcohol, not waking up with heart pounding anxiety hungover in the early morning hours. Instead, I get to go to bed clean and sober and wake up for summer sunshine and coffee feeling clear headed. That’s well worth it. Happy Father’s day to the fellow papas out there.
Checking in 3 Y, 3 Weeks Sober
Finally feel like I’m turning a corner on this covid. Managed to change my sheets and air out the bedroom, I feel so “infected” 
also managed to wash my hair, so that’s a huge win. Contemplated tweezering the greys from my head but then upon closer inspection with my glasses on, realised the process would be futile ** insert inward sigh ** . I’m trying to embrace the idea of allowing the greys to just be, and kind of blend with my hair, reality of getting older is hitting home lol. But like my mum likes to remind me, at least I have that opportunity ** insert eyeroll and obligatory “yes I know Mum” **
Urgh I’m in a mood today, annoyed with everything and almost everyone. Deep breath. This too shall pass. At least I’m sober today. I know things could always be alot worse and I have alot to be grateful for… so chin up guys and gals. We’re here and doing our best. That’s all we can do
We’ve all been there I think 
There was even a thread created about abbreviations at one point lol
About to turn in at the end of day 10. Had a reasonably good day, but I can’t help feeling a little gloomy since it’s Father’s Day. Probably won’t sleep at all, since I had a nap earlier. This is bad because I gotta get up at 7am for an 8 o’clock appointment with my med doctor to add to the “galaxy of pharmaceuticals” I’m already taking. Everybody have a good night (or morning)!
Not the best day today
Just slept all day
Atleast i had my girlfriend by my side all day today napping with me
I had today and have 2 more days off from work
Just ordered some dinner for me, and my girlfriend along with my 2 friends which are my roommates
Today is day 74 full days clean and sober
In about 45min I’ll have 75 full days
Right now it’s 74days and 23hours and 45min clean and sober
Woooohooooo!!!
It’s always my favorite when someone takes their 30 day tags!!! I remember clearly how excited I was to make 30 days. I also remember how hard I fought to get them.
Great job.
Checking in at the end of day 64. Had a good day. BF was spoiled for fathers day. His kiddos took him out for brunch then I made us all a ham, cheesy hashbrown potatoes and a carrot green bean mixture. It was yummy! Gave a good night/day all.

Coffee. I’m a little bit better each day but not symptom free yet. Considering if I should go back to work tomorrow. If I follow national guidelines I shouldn’t yet as it’s day 8 since symptoms started and they say 10 days isolation max with symptoms. I do have some online training stuff to attend to. So let’s do that. I’m sober and clean, as I hope and expect from all of you my friends. One day at a time.
I saw this pic, which has been in the family forever, published in a new book on the history of photography in Amsterdam. The photo is from 1933, and shows a riot during the great depression. The lady on the left is my great grandmother who I never knew in person but who was a formidable figure in my family, and in general in the Amsterdam of the first half of the 20th century.
On the day of her marriage she made this proposition to her husband-to-be: “Either you quit drinking now, once and for all, or this marriage is not going to happen”. My great grandfather choose the right thing or I wouldn’t have been here to tell the story. Clean and sober. Love.
Day 272 checking in odaat hope everyone is well off to Spain tomorrow for 12days with the family looking forward to a break I’ve heard there is a heat wave going on over there just now gives me anxiety as my 11month old baby is coming with us I’ve took a lot of measures to keep her protected from the sun factor 50+ I’ve got a pram cover I’ve also got a uv tent I’m not going to drink over it but still find it hard to manage my anxiety 
Day 54. Made it through my sister’s wedding bCk in Michigan! It was tough at parts but I set pretty good boundaries. Nothing but support from family and friends. Gave a great speech at the wedding sober and nervous . This was the first time seeing a ton of partying friends without partying and it is a huge weight off my shoulders . Feeling excited about continuing on my journey. Hoping for smooth sailing in the future. Super grateful for the support I’ve received on here. Thanks all and have a great work week!
Day 678
Nearly was back to day 0 today, major strife with son in morning, and I got angry and then felt guilty all day, students were annoying and making me question the point of me being there, I cried when I got home and my husband just rolled his eyes at me. I really didn’t give a shit about my sobriety. I don’t know what stopped me today. Glad it did.
