I appreciate that !! I’m just sticking to a few Basic things and being realistic about alcohol and what it does to me if I go back . The first 3 months felt like a Hurricane of emotions and counting hours, but the last couple months have flown by and I feel like things are starting to make sense long-term. I always appreciate your feedback and support.

Day 50 - An early check in today to hold my hand up and say I am struggling. Not so much with my addiction but life generally. The lack of a permanent place to live is hanging heavy over me and I have been on the verge of tears all day today. My boy is over with me and we have done loads of great things but I feel really empty inside.

I am struggling without a permanent base that I can bring my son back to without fear that I am putting other people out. I am also struggling with th fact, in my heart I feel rejected by my friends when they are really just asking if they can live their own life after helping me so so much. I would not be where I am today without their help.

I hope the viewing on Monday goes well and I am trying to focus on the positive that is time with my boy but I am just finding life so so hard today.

Hi Miranda, Happy Sober Saturday! I have not forgotten you were the 1st person that reached out to me when I found this app :heart:. Never in a million years did I think I could do it. But you and so many others never gave up on me, even when I relapsed. So I hope in some way my posts or replies or my new toy (gif app) will put a smile on your face even for a second. Nice job on the spin bike, here’s my day so far. :grin:

Checking in start of day 75. Morning coffee and watching bluey with my son. About to take the dog for a walk in the woods and go to the park. Have been eating like shit lately… trying to focus today on eating healthy. Mostly going to stay away from the French fries at work. I’m not going to drink today. Have a great weekend everyone!

@Dmcg1987 291 days brilliant :slightly_smiling_face:

@Staringupfromthewell Im sorry to hear your feeling empty, also not having that stability and worrying about your child must be a heavy weight to carry around.
I pray things fall into place for you, but remember please be kind to yourself your situation wont get better if you beat yourself up over it. I hope everything goes well on monday, try and stop worrying you will make yourself ill, im not sure what help is available where you are. I know it tough and were here for you.
You will get through this.

@onthewagon31 congratulations on your 75 days.

2 years, 4 months and 17 days… just remember the most important day we have is TODAY! I am so happy. Today is my 28th birthday :partying_face: I am at my parents house and I am going to visit the grave site of my grandparents who I haven’t been able to visit in a very very long time … I just know I am doing the right thing. I have someone here w me all the time … so yeah I am so happy and blessed by what recovery has given me and how thankful I am… i am just in awe. Well, I hope everyone has a great day and stays sober/clean. Just For Today.

Day 282

Hi everyone, iv started really working out trying to get fit and it’s been making my brain feel so much better about myself, just makes me feel guilty for eating anything unhealthy!!

Just sitting in the garden on the lounger it was all peacefull and quite then all I heard from the little roof terrace next to my garden was

The sound of glasses “pinging” together and a big loud “CHEERS”

Well … totally made me sit here and think I wish I didnt mess up and drink so much that it was a problem, I wish I was having fun, I wish I was having a meal with friends and nice cold glass of whatever they are having.
Then I thought

  1. I would be on my own
  2. I would be in my room on my own
  3. Being on my own tipsy would make me want to go out and meet people that I shouldnt be.
  4. Then my brain will start ringing the drugs bell
  5. Then my life turns to sh*t again

So well, although I still feel a bit like oh well wish I could, i know i cant but it still hurt to hear that “ping” and the gathering of friends having fun and I feel so lonely now :rofl::rofl:

@Butterflymoonwoman I’m doing okay, thank you for asking.

@moonchild7994 Happy birthday :slightly_smiling_face: and congratulations on 2yrs 4mnths and 17 days.
It’s nice you have someone to go with you :hugs: glad your not going alone.

Nice share Twizzle. :hugs:
I get the alone feeling. I hear ya. Great job thinking it out and writing it down. I’m so glad you’re here with us. Sometimes it’s not the same. And it’s hard. The sober alternative is always so much better.
