Lots going on but you’re feeling it and you’re sharing and communicating - and that is a win. That is a success and it’s something you can feel good about, give yourself a pat on the back.
Love the hair!

Hang in there! I struggled with sleep the 1st week too, plus many other withdrawals. I made it 22 days after decades of continuous drinking. Then I relapsed, but I’m back on Day 13! It’s so nice waking up and knowing what I did the night before!

I’ve made the big move like that twice in my life, and I know it’s both exciting and frightening. So, I’m sending positive mojo your way…

Aaaah, thanks. I have been dabbling with veganism for a few years (have been veggie since a child) so know it is possible. This has given me the final push. I just need to get some easy recipes sorted so it doesn’t feel like a lot of work.

Haha, that might go down as my Plan Z!
You have done really well, you have beaten my best stretch.

I’m checking in halfway thru Day 13 @DryIn785 how did you get so far ahead of me??
I’m about to feed the fur kids and start work. I’m hoping on a productive work day with a sober evening. I have another 3 day weekend starting tomorrow (I’ve really been testing myself) I took off tomorrow because I’m taking Max for his 1st annual check up since I rescued him. Im going to try & give him a trim tonight, he’s a little furry monster. God bless you all, have a great day/evening!

@RosaCanDo @Butterflymoonwoman Thank you both so much! The longest I’ve ever had was 18 months, but lately I just let myself celebrate the small victories because I never know when I’m going to screw up again. 
@maxwell I’m not that far ahead! I think my counter turns over around midnight.
@Rockstar24777 Enjoy the crappy dates. There may come a time when nobody will go out with you again. It really hurts a guy’s self-esteem.
So anyway, I got my usual 3 hours of sleep and decided to have pancakes. The reason being, my neighbor Joe is aware of my situation and went to the food bank for me. I now have 4 boxes of pancake mix. 
In fact, he just dropped in a minute ago with a couple bananas, a blueberry muffin, and a pack of cigarettes. Nice having someone looking out for you.
As far as an overall plan, still don’t have one. Can’t get anywhere because my bus pass expired. So I’m paying for a gym I can’t use. I could walk to the library if it doesn’t get too hot. Idk. I guess my only solid plan right now is just don’t drink.
A friend of mine wanted to come by today. He still drinks, but he won’t do it in front of me. Still, that temptation is there.

Morning Check in
Day 129
Worked out with weights this morning. I think worked myself out a bit too much tho as I feel sort of sick. Drinking my coffee now and planned my healthy meals for the day. Hubby is at work. Not much planned for today except cleaning and maybe heading out for a walk. A friend of mine from back home has a daughter who lives in the province I live now. She is wanting a cake for her birthday so I am expecting money for that today. Maybe I’ll go out and get the supplies today if it’s nice out. Going to connect to my HP now and start this day!
Hope everyone has an addiction free day

Sounds like an awesome time to just be able to focus on taking care of you. Resting, working out, and just chilling do other stuff you probably never get around to. Enjoy it, it’s gonna go fast.

Working on day 5 today on probably my 7th time going sober in the last three years. I am not beating myself up about it…BUT I do notice clear headedness comes a lot sooner than the first couple times and I am THANKFUL for that.
Have a happy positive day everyone!

Morning all. Having a moment of silence for my best friend. My coffee pot kicked the bucket this morning. She gave me a long five years but I will miss her. Washing machine, coffee pot…my appliances are against me right now. But that’s ok. I can fix or replace today because I’m not giving all my money to a dealer any more.
Eight more days to the NA convention. I’m getting so excited. Struggling with letting time pass at its own pace. It’s been so very long since I did something for me. The fact that everything is already paid for is a kicker.
Love coming on here and getting strength from you all along with joy. Have a blessed clean and sober day

This sounds so positive. I hope you can find lots of pleasure in being alone for that time. Spending it in nature sounds brilliant. I love solo walks.

These shorts are seriously awesome.
This is coming from someone who last year sewed her finger to the dress. Through the nail. 
Congrats on your sober time! Sluggish days are rubbish!

Good morning everyone! Checking in on day 18.
Camping trip starts tomorrow and I’ve been excitedly getting everything ready. I can’t wait to be out in nature, taking time away from electronics, and spending good quality SOBER time with my friends 
the place we’re going is 50 acres of private land and we have permission to explore the whole place if we want. It’s sitting on an ollllllld piece of the ice age glacier stuff so the chances of finding 200 million year old fossils is super high! Wish me luck that I might find one 
there’s also a state forest nearby, a lake and a river to relax in.
Lots of new people here experiencing their first days sober so I wanted to say a big CONGRATULATIONS to all of you! So proud of you for getting this far. Keep things up and of course please check in whenever things get hard or cravings come creeping up. This group is full of caring and supportive people and we will have your back!
I hope everyone gets a chance to shine a little bit of light on their darkness today and of course stay sober and clean!

Oh noooo!! I have never done that but I live with the fear every day 
I hope that didn’t deter you to keep on sewing!
