Day 757 clean and sober today. Still learning that I have a long way to go when it comes to emotional sobriety for sure. Need to learn how to throttle back intense emotions and keep them to myself. I hope everyone has an amazing day today, love you guys!!!
It feels like the need I had for alcohol as a crutch mentally has lifted. Going to my sister’s house today will be a test of the more social aspects, but I’m actually not too worried about it. In the past when I’ve tried to “cut back” or dry out she’s kind of followed suit. Up until we’d decide the wine looked lonely at least. I think it looks better lonely now.
Still feeling pretty low, but not wanting to drink. Walked up the road to snag a coffee and wasn’t charged for the extra shot which is tight. The town is still asleep so the walk was almost uncomfortably quiet.
Happy Saturday folks. I went to a music festival last night and drank water because although they had dozens of beer brands and ciders, the only NA options were water or a couple of sodas. I wish someone would figure out there’s a market for mocktails, herbal teas and juices at outdoor events.
But, I had a fun evening and LOVED waking up without a hangover!
…1569…working today. It sucks, it’s just a big shitburger kinda day. However, its temporary…and will end.
That is what sobriety has brought me…clarity on the poopfestivle type days…I dont have to like today, but I dont have to let it ruin my day, night, or my tomorrow.
Hi Cassi, congratulations on 15 days! That is a milestone (at least in my world). I hope you have a good day with your sister and hope you can team up and do this together.
We all have good, bad and blah days, but the best day is waking up in the morning without a hangover! Enjoy your sober free day!!
Thank you! I’ve been quietly celebrating each hour gained, every additional day feels like someone randomly handing me 10 bucks lol
I think getting out of the house will help with the emotional side of things. Being a homebody makes it really easy to slip into recluse mode and that’s hard to get out of
Here’s to a sunny sober Saturday for us all! Unless it’s raining where you’re at lol but that sounds even better
Day 38 for me, first full week being back home in Northern Ireland it’s been great to be home with my family and friends. Have a happy weekend everyone
Morning Check In Day 145
Last night I experienced something in my recovery that was pretty profound for me. I’m not even sure what prompted it. I was laying in bed and I was trying to do a lying down meditation (body scan and focus breathing). I had this urge to put my hand over my heart and feel it beating. And then out of nowhere I said “I’m sorry, I forgive you” to myself. I don’t recall ever saying this to myself. I have apologized to others and have forgiven others but NEVER myself. Theres a certain situation in my life, that I still struggle abit with self forgiveness. But the love I feel for myself has changed I feel more compassion for myself today, I feel like I’m being gentler to myself. I haven’t experienced this before. I am at work now feeling pretty good!
Hope everyone has an addiction free day
Hello everyone, I hoppe that you are all well.
Over here, the first part of the “double move” has begun, I haave brought a couple of carloads of stuff over to the new place, and hope to bring at least one more tomorrow, and then the actual moving day will be on Wednesday. I’m looking forward to it. That will be my last “Italian” step before moving back to Switzerland, and that’s what I’m really looking anticipating.
Other than that, things are going alright… Gettting closer to the 30-day mark, so I’m pleased about that.
I hope that you are all having a nice weekend.
Good morning! First time back on my spin bike in almost a month. I just did 20 minutes. Feels amazing!!
I’m so glad I have this community because I was feeling so lost and being back here sharing and reading others posts has helped me find my strength again. I feel like I’m back on track again and if I start to slip I know I’ll check in here first!
Thanks everyone
Thinking of you all❤️
Enjoy your sober free day!!
it’s been great to be home with my family and friends. Have a happy weekend everyone
