Hi everyone,
It’s great to see all the milestones today. Thought I’d add my catch too.

Ordered an extra shot in my coffee as usual, and got a second extra shot because the barrista made two and didn’t wanna waste one. I’ll take it as a win to the start of this day.

Let’s hope kayaking is as fun as people say, little nervous about it if I’m honest :sweat_smile:

Have a great day, folks :metal:

Thank you! I appreciate your comments and suggestions! I didn’t wake up pissed today so that’s a good start. Lol

I think I have an issue with down time. I’m realizing in some instances and as my alcohol abuse progressed, I drank because I was bored.

Also, it’s summer and my kids, mainly my 6 year old daughter who has some issues, are home which stresses me out. I used to drink because of that too.

It all wears on me. My husband had his own way of dealing with the kids which is to ignore them. I get angry because I feel like he’s not helping, blah, blah….we’ve been in this cycle for years. I’ll figure it out. It’s only been a little over a month. It’s all very new for everyone in my household. But, I’m not going to use alcohol to deal with it anymore.

Good Morning TS Family :heart:

Today is DAY 30. I posted around 3am after I rolled over because I was up gluing tiny rocks to a board. 😵‍💫
And wanted to wish @Daishippai who’s is currently in Italy a Happy 30 as well.

Wow, I never thought this day would come, and yes, I will be celebrating DAY 45 even if the app doesn’t have a milestone for it (they should).

My plans are having a relaxing day with Max and Riley and probably gluing rocks to a board. Who knew an addict could pick up a new hobby and become addicted? :thinking: All that matters is Today I’m not going to drink. I don’t know about tomorrow, but I’m not planning on drinking then either. Have an awesome day everyone, I absolutely could not have done it without you!! Thank you! :hugs::heart::sunflower::tulip:

That’s my toughest thing. Concerts/events. But glad you stuck to water!

Enjoy your day.
I think 45 days can be a milestone if you want it to be.

Huge huge congratulations :bouquet:
30 days is some serious work, probably one of the toughest milestones.
Maybe you’re passionate about the diamond craft instead of addicted…? :slightly_smiling_face: Can’t wait to see it :gem::gem::gem::gem:

Keep going, I know it’s hard. My 1st go around made it to 22, today I’m celebrating 30. You can do this! :hugs:

What worked for me is really believe in ODAAT. Don’t worry about down the road. Find something to keep your mind busy. Come here often, if you’re having a rough day and mad at the world, come here and share it. Be mad, it’s okay. I had a meltdown around 20, this time I came here and wrote it all out, swear words and all. And guess what, didn’t drink and it passed. I never did that before I relapsed.

Hope to see you around a lot. :heart:
