@anon53116147 How are u feeling today? I read that ur going thru a med change. Those are always the worst 
@Alycia i dont always know eother why those little nagging thoughts pop up and vanish just as quick lol. Im glad ur staying strong tho! I sort of feel like its jusy addiction trying to see if we will entertain the thought. Addiction is so sneaky and powerful. But not as strong as all of us being in recovery 
@rockstar24777 Enjoy ur hike!!! Sounds lovely
@misokatsu grateful that typhoon isnt hitting u guys too hard. I have honestly never experienced one. Is it like huge waves of water or a hurrican that can flood the city? All i have to say is that one of my worst fears is deep water, so yaā¦ im praying for u all that ur safe 
@fiarra oh my heart! Thats such a beautiful gift to recieve that measage from ur son. Really be sooo proud of urself for sticking to ur recovery. I AM proud of you for 1 month! Remember this moment so that when urges do come up in the future u can brush them away realizing how strong u are and how important u are to urself amd ur son

Day 59 alcoholfree
Day 39 free from toxic relationships
Mondayā¦ Workā¦ Tired! 
Will have a protein shake and nap afterwork, strength workout, swimming and
a late ChicorƩe Omlette with Parmesan.
Good plan 
Hope I will sleep betterā¦ Itās not that fine since
I am working again. 
Didnāt buy wine! 
Didnāt contact bad ass guys!
Feeling a little bit love addict,
searching for love in the outside.
Donāt know, hope 2c my new āswim training, flirting, getting know each other manā again soonā¦ But we didnāt groove into timing at indoor pool and I donāt have unlimited time as I am working again.
I want to stay relaxed in that topic.
Keep going on working and cultivating Selflove! 
Sending love, peace and ease to everybody who needs some 
Congratulations to the triple digits! 
Nobody is too old for stories from Roald Dahl. 
Sometimes itās also āAF AFā, that makes it even harder to understand. 
Morning Check in
Day 217
Kept my son at home from school today. He is almost back to his normal self. Thankfully his teacher understands the times he absent from his hospital visits, medical appts, and illness. It IS a medical type school afterall. I just feel bad when he misses school bcuz he loves it so much! Its an incredible school.
Other thab that, we are just waiting for the optometrist place to open up. We are going to get his glasses today bcuz they are ready for pickup. Will probably pick up lunch around there also.
Hope everyone has an addiction free day!
Hey. Iām feeling ok, kind of annoyed bc doctor is trying me in venlaxfine again but idk just trying to trust her instincts and go with it. This weather always puts me in a funk.
Day 363 checking in 
Well done David. Really pleased for you. 
Everyday is worth celebrating, especially those early days theyāre hard as fuck. Be proud of yourself and keep doing the next right thing! Keep on ODAAT!
98 daysā¦
I never was a normie, I guess thats why I never felt normal.
When I talk to people about being sober, I get replies like āthe morning after is never as much fun as the night before!ā or āI quit drinking every mondayā lol, I find the banter amusing, because I know we arenāt built the sameā¦
Thank you very much. Iām not taking any milestone for granted this time. The longest Iāve ever gone without drinking in 20 years is 18 days. I know I can do that and more as long as I donāt drink today, then repeat. Thank you for the support. It is greatly appreciated.
Day 602. Yesterday at work, (I work at a truck stop) I was talking to a regular customer, who takes showers at our store a few times per week. We usually chat while he is waiting for his turn in the shower. Today, out of nowhere he says, without knowing my history of recovery, "Man, today is 36 days without a drink for me. Itās hard but so worth it. That sparked a 30 minutes conversation about sobriety, and how stupid we were in our drinking times. It was awesome to just connect with another guy trying to stay sober.
Checking in sober AF 
24 more hours locked in. Sticking with the routine and what works. Back to work tomorrow. I always get work related anxiety, but itd be worse if I were to get loaded so Iām gunna stay wicked sobah 
Congrats on 602!!!
Reminds me when I was 9 days sober, I work construction, I was having a morning, anyway I look at this plumber and say āIām 9 days sober, and it feels like a 9 day hangover right now!ā My anxiety getting the better of me and allā¦ he said, āit gets better, I got tired of waking up hungover and quit drinking a year ago, wait til you start getting better sleep, its all worth it!ā And honestly I so needed to hear that shit, it keeps me going. Connections matter.
Haha I donāt think so either
Thank you for your encouragement 
I couldnāt agree with this more. I always feel bad when people say stuff like āItās not much but Iām on day 5ā or something similar. I cant emphasize enough how huge it is to get through those first few days.
I hope a lot of people with a few days or a few weeks under their belt see this. You guys are the real heroes.
On a day-to-day basis itās (usually) not as challenging when you have hundreds of days under your belt. Sometimes thatās not the case but eventually sober becomes almost normal. Sure itās still the hardest thing Iāve ever done in my life but you guys just starting out should be massively proud of yourselves. Keep it up guys
Checking in, still going strong. Going for a sober birthday, but wish I could drink it away. Have a nice evening everyone
Thank you so much! I appreciate your words and needed them.
