Checking in 173 days :sparkles:
Nothing super exciting to report today, just staying sober, looking after myself. Long weekend coming up here. I can’t wait! Hoping for some warm days, so we can enjoy a swim.
I’ve been thinking a little about alcohol lately, I don’t know why. It’s just been small thoughts, cravings, which I haven’t had for a while. Thought I’d vocalise them, I definitely won’t be acting on them. My life is just so much sweeter sober :heart:

Time…. Keeps going. The days are without alcohol. More importantly the days are without thoughts of drinking. Sometimes an image might cross my mind, but quickly evaporates into nothing. Quietly, something larger than my mind, blocks these incongruent thoughts and feelings from further existence. And that’s just the ice breaker. All aspects of my life and my made-up-larger-than-life stories are marching in perfect time out of my life. I am amazed this day of the gift of 80 days sober. Filled with gratitude!

One problem with the head is, that it is always before you there! :wink:

I hope you had a nice time on the trail and got some fresh air and nature!

Day 465 continuous sobriety. I was on kid duty this morning: making lunches and chasing my 7 year old daughter around with a hairbrush :face_with_raised_eyebrow: . Walked them to school, and now I am on the city bus to work. Wishing you all a strong and peaceful day.

I did it exactly like you: first binged the 24 h meeting and after that went to in person and other online meetings. :+1:t2:

It has worked for me.

That is good to hear. I wasn’t sure if it is the right way but then again I’m sure the “right way” is different for everyone. I live in a very small town so I have to learn to accept the fact that I AM an alcoholic before I’m willing to make it to a meeting in person. I don’t think I’m better than anyone else there, it’s just a struggle within my own head. Those people are actually much stronger than I am currently.

I live in a village of 35 people so I do understand. Only we have no meetings near here so I go online.

Slowly climbing that mountain. This isn’t much yet, but it represents 3 days of me saying “No, I will not drink!”

Very thankful that I finally was able to get some good sober rest. I enjoy getting sober sleep so much that it makes me wonder why I ever fall back to drinking when I have in the past. I am starting to come to the terms that I AM an alcoholic, and I’m starting to be ok with that. Before I always looked at is as a weakness but I’m beginning to realize that understanding and admitting it is a huge strength. Weakness is giving in and giving up.

I will not drink again today and that makes me extremely proud and happy. I can not wait until I break my previous best of 18 days and blow it out of the water. I anxiously await the day when I look back and 18 days seems like a mole hill instead of a mountain.

God bless everyone and I hope you all have a wonderful day filled with sobriety.

Day 25 and I’m an idiot. I just figured out that AF means alcohol free and not as fuck. I legitimately thought y’all were like:

“DAY 25 AS FUCK!! Woo!! :metal:

:joy::joy::joy: wow. Good morning everyone.
