Checking in hangover free and sober AF!
My body and soul was a black hole of a shadow
That is the perfect description of how I was when I was drinking. A literal shell of a person.
This freedom is priceless!!
Tillykke!! on your 4 years of freedom Claudia. 
I’m so happy for you and to be on this journey with you.
Day 79 AF check-in
I went to a cookout last night with several friends. I was the only one not drinking, and served as the DD. I wasn’t tempted in the least and had a great time!.…up to a point. When the slurred speech, loud mouths and staggering started I was quickly getting annoyed. It was a great eye opener of how I’ve acted thousands of times. I literally had no desire to feel what they were feeling. And for the first time ever, it made no sense to me why someone would want to feel that fucked up. Waking up today with no hangover or regrets feels good. So big score for me!
Here’s to not drinking today and having another day free of my toxic ex-boyfriend, booze!
Checking in sober and alcohol free for the next 24. Had a strong craving but ate, played the tape forward, logged into a meeting and then came here and it passed. 
That’s brilliant. I love this story.
“Played the tape forward”? You mean like imagined what your day would be like if you had the drink or didn’t? Sorry for asking for clarification. I’m newish. Thanks
Yes exactly, i envisioned how maybe the first drink would be good, but it wouldn’t stop there (NEVER) I’d end up drinking like 15+ beers, puking, and having terrible anxiety tomorrow etc.
Day 464 of continuous sobriety for me. Going to take the kids to see a University soccer match this afternoon. Stay strong my friends.
@SoberWalker congratulations on the amazing achievement of 4 years, Claudia! You are an inspiration!
Congratulations @Dazercat on 990! Approaching four digits!
@anon53116147 you’re doing great, wishing you strength pulling through today.
@Misokatsu stay safe!
Huh. That’s a good exercise. I’m gonna put that in my tool kit. Thank you.
Day 3 and sick with fever
Nice congrats on your 11 months!
Congrats Claudia!!!
Whats going on???
Hope you feel better soon. It gets better day by day…
You made me wonder…what means Tillykke?
But it means congratulations 
It’s Danish Eric, I guess you misunderstood it for Dutch? 
Now I learned something, thank you. Now I have to practice how to pronounce it.
I did a few days ago (and thank you!). Gave myself a nose piercing
Midday check in
Day 216
Currently at work. Day has been good! Got complimented on my skills and abilities working with the clients I do. My team lead even told me and my coworker that he has learned alot from me from last weekend and how I approach my client with respect and compassion. That felt really good to hear that!
Today is day 1 basically for my healthy eating. I have overeaten the past 2 days due to stress and exhaustion. Realistically I am responsible for my choices and not 1 person, emotion, or situation is responsible for my bad eating habits. Just like addiction tho, I was always responsible for my choices to use. Nothing can make me use drugs. Same with my eating. So im trying to get back to my healthy lifestyle today.
Hope everyone is having an addiction free day!
Day 100
Hitting those triple digits 
Still in my pjs.
Been doing a bit of craft, got Lebanese food delivered. Yum. I was supposed to go out to the pub quiz but have just decided against it. How refreshing to choose to stay at home in my own peace and comfort. Just thinking about all those yrs of Sunday rollovers from Friday night. Wasted in some pub or house chatting pure shite, not slept, probably not ate anything,… yuck, yuck, yuck. It’s sounds exhausting just reading it. I can’t imagine myself ever going back to it but also mindful that addiction doesn’t play fair. 100 days is wonderful but I can only do ODAAT.
I had an idea today. I didn’t read much to my daughter when she was young because I was consumed with addiction. I thought I might send voice messages of me reading out Ronald Dahl stories to her. I’ll send one later and tell her to listen when she’s going to bed
I guess I’m trying to make up for being a shit person. Things are on my mind. I’m reminded myself not to beat myself up but it’s good to want to put things right or do things differently.
A calm day. I’ve put the heating on about 45 mins ago. The temp has dropped. I was being stubborn and saying I wouldn’t put it on and make someone else filthy rich but I couldn’t stand the chill In the air. Feel like I’m going to eat some chocolate and enjoy my milestone in peace.
Keep on keeping on x
Congrats on 100 days! Keep up the good fight!
