Will wake up in the morning with 78 days. Got in a fight with my wife last night. Went to bed In a bad spot. Woke up and went golfing by myself. Feel better. We’re better also, after a day off from each other, and minimal communication. Golf can cure all and everything. Thanks for listening to my Ted talk.

Well done! Just wandering what physical/ mental difference you notice? I read somewhere it really takes 60 days to really notice the difference in mental clarity and 66 days to form a new habit…. Have you found this? I am on day 10, looking forward to getting where you are.

Coffee. Summer. No normal workday but half a day of de-escalation intervention methods or DIM training to attend. Don’t really feel like it but OK. I’m sober and clean. I hope I 'll learn something . And after this I’ll have two days off and it’ll still be summer.
Have as good a day as you can friends. Make it clean and sober for starters, or nothing will come of it. One day at a time. Love from my balcony.
@Cloyboy89 2 months is big Colin! Big congrats.

Day 761 clean and sober. Thank you to those that reached out and helped me through a really dark time yesterday you’re awesome. I love having a place to be able to share the good and the bad days. I’m up at 3:30am to go to the gym before work, I have no idea why I thought this was a good idea but here I go 
Have an amazing day everyone, love you guys!!!

Congratulations on 80 days!
I’m glad you’re ankle is healing. It’s hard to go back to work after time off isn’t it? I often suffer from a bit of anxiety returning to routine after it has been interrupted for whatever reason, good or bad.
Once I return always feel better. I hope you do too

I am ok, but having trouble sleeping. I really should be still asleep as it’s only 4am here, but I struggle with similar situations to yours I think. My husband drank too much tonight and is laying next to me snoring soooo loudly 
. I was feeling angry so instead of smacking him on the head I thought I would check in here 
(not that I would really smack him… But the urge is there:crazy_face:)

Good morning. I bought this cool cup as my Freedom Cup - for my booze free beverages! It’s a little reminder and morivator to stay on the right path.

I wish we had a spare room!! My days not too bad today. I might try to get another hour or two sleep in if I can get back to sleep. I feel better knowing I’m not alone. My frustration and anger have passed. Thanks Miranda. I hope you can catch a nap or at least have a super sleep tonight💜

Day 10, no online casinos! This is where I got to last time before I relapsed. I feel way better this time though. Looking forward to going on vacation on Friday. Already had a great breakfast and did some shopping for my trip. All in all I feel great. Staying positive and ready to read back over my journal if I get any urges.
Looking forward to a month as that’s usually when the hold loosens significantly, I think there is some scientific reason for that in relation to brain chemical balancing and what not, but for now just one day at a time.
I’ve set some monthly goals and landmarks along the way to try and reward myself for sticking with it. Stuff that I would usually just impulse buy to make myself feel better is now part of a reward system, something I have never really bothered with before. It will be interesting to see how it goes and what effect it has on staying focused!
Keeping the train firmly on the tracks.

Good morning all. Been feeling pretty down and unbalanced lately, but then I volunteered some time at habitat for the first time in a few months. It’s really amazing how positive a lil bit of volunteering can be.
As with things such as church or fitness; volunteering is something that during and afterwards I’m like “why am I not doing this all the time, i feel so much better?!?” But then I let life interfere enough to where weeks and months go by before I do it again. I’ve already scheduled another shift on the 26th and talking to my wife she expressed that she’d come to the jobsite probably by Sept when the kids go back to school!
Been pretty depressed lately and overwhelmingly like a life failure, but this helped me more than I expected.
Seriously if there’s this missing piece pulling at you in your life, then try volunteering ANYWHERE and it’ll help you in more ways than you can imagine. It’s so good it’s almost not altruistic lol.
Anywho, Have a good, sober day yall.

@Lorelai Although I know it is not as simple as this, and u already know, but ur dad would not want you hurting yourself. The best way to honor him is to look after what he made and loved, you.
@SadMemeQueen That sounds terrible. I hope it gets better soon. 
@Girlinterrupted Nice to see you are doing well.
