So I managed to peel myself out of bed today! Looking disheveled haha and went fishing wasnāt happy about it butā¦ I caught a fish and the fresh air was nice. Hereās another day in the book of figuring out life AF. Iām full of gratitude and humility that my higher power continues to give me days to work through
I just saw this, congrats on 900!! Thatās so awesome! Proud of you Eric
Congratulations, Eric! That is so amazing! Have you ever missed one day of gratitude in these 900 days?
Thank you Franzi.
Youāve been a solid inspiration for me on here. I appreciate it. I was so impressed with all the days you had when I first started. I never thought this was possible. ODAAT.
My day one I was too sick and hung over. So I got 899 consecutive days of gratitude. 900 tomorrow for that
Thank you @Nordique
Thanks @Seb
Checking in just shy of 10 consecutive days. I made it through my 3 day weekend AF!
Keep it up Maxie!!
Great job

Checking in at the end of day 374. Took the kids swimming today and went out for lunch. It was a strangely peaceful day. Crawling into bed with a slight headache, but sober and happy. Talked a bit with my little sister today who is also sober from alcohol (for similar reasonsā¦ runs in the family, go figure), and it was a really nice conversation. Iām so proud of her. Wishing everyone a peaceful day / night.
Congratulations @Dazercat on the nine hundo!
Congratulations @HillbillyChris on 10 months!
Congratulations everyone on another day.
DAY 6 working outta town staying in hotel. Normally would be down at the pub But I took it apon myself to go sit in restaurant by myself. Ordered a steak sandwich and a ice tea with lemonsā¦was very yummy Feeling pretty good about that as my night comes to an endā¦Im going to hit the sheets and have a good rest.
About to call it an evening. Unfortunately, Iām nowhere close to tired. Saw my med doc today. Didnāt change meds at all but he wants to do sleep testing as I might have apnea. Thatās all I need now. And my phone is acting up; it resets itself repeatedly unless itās on the charger.
Still, Iām grateful that I still have a future in spite of my efforts to the contrary. Tomorrow is another day. Peace out, TS fam!
Well done on 173 days, thatās so great.
Iām glad you were able to get out into the sunshine for some fresh air. It can really make a big difference.
Wow great pic! U caught a huge fish!!!
Way to go on the nice dinner! Great choice! Really proud of you!
Ohh thank you so muchš
900 days! Inspiring. Thanks for being here for every single person every single time and post.
Thanks pinky! Yea Iām relieved that itās over. Everyone there knew how much of a drinker I was so they were all very supportive. I have a 4 year old which was a good way to get out when it got late and everyone was getting shit faced. Good idea to drive so you have an escape plan if you start getting overwhelmed. Good luck to you. And thank you!
Checkin in at the end of day 65! Not bad for a Monday. Night ended well. Have a good night/day all!
@Seb Yes, much better thanks for asking
Day 679
Decent day at work, and tomorrow is a day off, so canāt complain. Definitely going to hit a different meeting tomorrow and blow some sobriety cobwebs away.

Coffee. Not going to work today. Still not well enough. All this being at home alone isnāt the best for my state of mind. But Iāll make it. Iām sober and clean. Just thinking about my past makes me shiver. Canāt imagine how bad Iād be would I still be drinking and smoking. Trying to drown my misery in rivers of alcohol and clouds of smoke.
Never again. Life isnāt always fun when sober and clean but it is endlessly better than the alternative. Because I can work on myself and my life now. Even when Iām home alone. One day at a time. Have a good one all. Or at least as good as you all can. Make it clean and sober or nothing will come of it. Iām going to read me some today. Love.
@Dazercat Good times and bad ones friend. Big Congrats. Tonyās doing this one for you
@HillbillyChris A perfect ten! Congratiulations!
Nearly cracked yesterday after having a very sad conversation with my ex. Then I started crying. I cried and cried and cried and then something amazing happened. I started to feel calm and a bit numb. And I remembered this is actually natureās way of calming us down! I hadnāt felt like this for years as I guess as soon as I hit teenage years I found a quicker way to numb, alcohol, and we all know where that leads to. Then I went to sleep. I am really grateful for this experience as it reminded me feelings do pass and healing can happen and its not necessary to numb them away with substances (tempting as it might be) feels like an easier option, is actually hell on earth as we all know. Have a good day everyone
