Checking in on day 309. Rough night at work but one more day and then have a day off. Now just winding down listening to some music. Have Morgan Whalens “thought you should know” on now. Hope everyone has a good night or day and stay safe!
Edit: wanted to add it was a rough night because of a situation I was put in. I was not aware that on birthdays alcohol was served and i was the one to be serving. I haven’t even so much as touched a beer can in ten months so was very shocked and not sure what to do at first. I didn’t want to cause a stir so I poured the drinks and even the smell turned my stomach almost in a fear way. Everything went well and there were no mishaps but I never would of applied to a job that served alcohol. So May speak with my supervisor and ask to switch days on birthdays so I don’t have to be out in that situation again even though it went well this time I would rather not chance it. Night all!
@Dazercat Thank you, its been very emotional watching my mum cry, just glad i can be here properly for her without sneaking out to have drinks.
@HillbillyChris Well done to you for staying stong in that situation. I understand you about the smell of it.
When i did 8 years sober i used to walk into my sisters and the top of her fridge was full of all different spirits, she hardly drinks so there always there. But i used to go in a pick a few up and open and smell them and it used to make my stomach turn, to think it was like water to me before. She used to ask why i used to smell them and i dont really know but it defo made me go queezy.
@Mindymoo It’s nice to know that I am not alone and there are other people trying to make the same positive changes. And I too am feeling quite chuffed for us all
Hey hey, my cholesterol was 7.7 so high, familial not diet related. My liver was abnormal as well. Had another blood panel last week and my readings are all pretty great now after statins and no drinking. Be experimental with what you eat and just think about how much your body will love you back hard! X
Oh wow, thanks so much. Think mine is going to be tough to reverse with just diet. I am a vegetarian and only really eat cheese, go through phases of eating a vegan diet. My Dad couldn’t control with a strict diet, but I am going to try. I have already lost a few lbs so massive advantages already
Checking in day 60. Crazy fucking night at the bar. Band was rocking, bachelor and Bachelorette parties, drunk people all around… stacking cash. Sober. Happy. Have a good weekend everbody!
My mum has this same cholesterol that’s genetic.
She drank ginger lemon and garlic everyday and lots of vegetables and it has helped enormously.
It’s been a year and it has made a massive difference.
Wishing you well.

Coffee. I slept better. I feel better. ODAAT. Another late shift coming up. I can handle it. Not 100% fit physically yet but getting there. I’m sober and clean thank god. Can’t imagine how I’d be feeling if I wasn’t. I’d be in a totally different place for sure. If I wasn’t dead by now. I’m not. I’m alive. I’m moving forward. Slowly but surely.
Have as good a day as you all can friends. Make it clean and sober or nothing will come of it. Love from Amsterdam.
@Twizzlers Sorry for your mum. Glad to see you. Hope you’re good lady. You bring so much support and positivity to this place. It’s greatly appreciated.
Hi Brian,
I’m sorry to hear Penny is becoming more weak so soon
I am catching up on here as like you my mum broke her foot and it’s been very challenging.
I wish you a speedy recovery and am here if you need me.
Pets our not our pets or animals they are parts of family they are apart of us, I just want you to know I think your doing the right thing and i know it’s not a decision that’s made lightly. As I mentioned I am here if you want to talk or vent.
