Good morning everyone. Day 2 and feeling more with it today. Itā€™s not even 6 am and Iā€™m up making the mrs a curry for her and her friend to take away camping with them.
@Mno one thing I remember about Amsterdam is the 1000s of cycles parked near the railway station. Oh and the trams. They are lethal if your not used to them.
I slept really well last night and that is good psychologically for having a good day.
Iā€™m off work this week and have gardening to catch up on but itā€™s looking like I may be rained off today.
Definitely no thoughts of going to the pub today. I shall have a wholesome day cooking eating and freezing healthy food.
I hope you all manage to have a good day or at least a better day if your having a tough time. :full_moon_with_face:

Hi Iā€™m so proud you didnt give in :hugs:
And remember the feeling when you wake up and feel proud you got through it, thatā€™s what it gets me through some days- the feeling of self accomplishment the next day realising I can do itšŸ’«

Day 38

Will start my day with Rick Hanson Meditation after this post. :woman_in_lotus_position:t2:

Just wrote a todo list for the week and a new cleaning routine plan for the month (I found a very cool method).

Regular thingsā€¦ Yoga, Eatingā€¦
And appointment for outdoor swimming this evening. :swimming_woman:t2: šŸŠā€ā™‚ :sunglasses:

I decided to do as many things by bike as possible! (fuel prices, clima crisis :scream:)
So I will drive to a group therapy meeting on Tuesday and another private on Thursday evening, although it is not that near and on the way back it is dark (i have lights of cause).

Take care and stay sober! :v:t2:
Sending positive vibes and love
to everyone who needs or wants :revolving_hearts::cherry_blossom:

Happy bank holiday Monday to those in the UK.

6 days booze free complete. Bring on day 7.

Had two dreams last night where I got drunk and made an arse of myself. Relieved to wake up.

Going to visit my mother in law today. The joys of sobriety! :rofl:

Have good days all.

Day 11 today. Thankful for a partner who has decided to quit with me even though she doesnā€™t really have a problem with alcohol. She desires to be supportive and keep temptation out of our home. Our relationship has already become so much more intimate in these 11 days and Iā€™m excited about our days ahead. Iā€™m happy today. Have a good Monday, friends.

Still here. Still sober. Yesterday was a little rough at work just feeling very manic. Felt out of rhythm with everything and was jonesin by the time I left work. Was able to ground myself (honestly nicotine helped there) and had a good talk w the mrs about things, reinforcing both our stances on complete sobriety. We also explored some different Hobbies as Iā€™ve had things Iā€™ve wanted to do for a while that maybe I havenā€™t been doing and perhaps I can find more sustainable happiness through that? Either way we both agree that the anxiety or desire to continue to use basically any substance for both of us outweighs any potential moderation that we can even conceive of so thereā€™s no point in continuing in that endeavor.

Got about 4 hours of sleep last night because insomnia is a buy product of my sobriety, but thats ok.

At this time My mind is clear, I feel content and Iā€™m off today so I have time to find something to appreciate today. I am blessed

Have a good, sober day.

Day 177, early in the am

I woke up freaked out. I called out because im dreading work, havent called out in a while, and want to quit anyway. So today is literally resume day, I need to apply for jobs.

6 months is 1 week away and I feel silly for caring about this milestone approaching as far back as 2 weeks ago.

Will this ever end? Will I ever have some peaceful day to day? Why did my life happen in the way it did?

I honestly want to stop caring about the ā€œwhyā€ of it and be a better friend and person. Maybe I need to stop feeding my confusion and behave like how I want to live.

Tidied for 20 minutes, not right before bed, but early enough.

Today - I will make this productive.
