Thank you! I just finished my timed clean after sort of making myself start late. Room isnt perfect but its nicer!
The 2 rules help. 15 minutes of random tidying in the evening, and dishes are non negotiable.
I really, really want to be a good roommate here.
I’m sooooo glad! It has really helped me in the past also!!! I also think that the upset tummy is related to the guilt we feel about eating sometimes. If we can breath and let that go, we can relax our minds and our tummys so they can do what they need to. I hope you have an amazing sleep 
Yes I really like that meditation. I hope it helps you too!
I am doing better today. Thank you so much💖
Day 2
Here I am on day 2 again but I’m feeling very hopeful. I’m feeling more connected to this place which really does mean a lot. I often worry about saying the wrong thing and not fitting in (even though no one here really even knows me in person anyway) it’s crazy how I worry so much about what others think of me. I wish I didn’t, but that’s just me. I am a super feeler so that also makes me more caring and empathetic. I just need to show that same caring and empathy to myself and not just to others. We ALL do!
Thank you @Piglet86 , @Deelzebub , @Jesile , @maxwell @Butterflymoonwoman and everyone else who really helped me get through the other day when I was really struggling.
I woke up today and felt soooooo much better.
I also talked to my husband and my mom a little bit more about getting sone help for depression/anxiety. They were both very supportive.
I had a good day and went for a family bike ride and when we got home and I saw my husband immediately crack a beer, I headed for the shower and made dinner and here I am sober and grateful. Reading through everyone’s celebrations, struggles, stories and feelings has helped me dig down deep and want to fight harder to be the person I know I can be for myself 
I’m glad you feel better today and your family is being supportive about getting help. We all need help at times. 
It has to be hard to quit while living with a drinker. There’s many here going through that, and they can offer advice.
You can do this, you know the 1st few days are the hardest. But I remember someone that made it past 50 days, that’s a win. You can do it again. 
Grateful and motivated for this new life. 4 months sober and a life time to go. One day at a time. Thanks for being here and sharing your stories and inspirations everyone! And thanks for letting me check in and be held accountable!
#Day 1438 
Our first chill day today in our busy holiday in Turkey. I need one, seen loads, got many external stimuli (hope this is the right translation for it 
) and need some balance.
So today my plans are reading in our hammock and maybe a walk trough the village, that’s it.

Just finished my coffee. Weekend. Me time. Socialising time. Whatever I wanna do time. Not so sure what yet. Doesn’t matter. I will be sober and clean for it. That does matter. One day at a time.
Have as good a day as you all can friends. Make it sober and clean because everything else follows from that. The pic is from yesterday at my workplace.
Day 36 alcoholfree, Day 16 toxic free
I am fine 
Totally into sports…
2300 meters swimming and
2 longer Yoga sequences yesterday. 
Appointment with new swimming partner at 6 pm at the outdoor pool! 🏊♂ 
I have new fins to optimize my leg training,
that will be tested today!
Just doing a bit of cleaning,
Yoga sequence before lunch…
Will have a healthy sporty meal with chicken breast, roasted potatoes and salad.
After that Siesta! 
Need power this evening 
I will make my day sober, of cause!
Sending love 
Life is good 
Take care 
Hi Miranda, it’s good to read that you’re feeling better today! It’s good that your talking to your family about this, doing this alone is very tough. I hope you have a look into the counseling thing, I think it’s going to make your life so much better, you just have to give it a go. Maybe the first therapist won’t be the right shot, but if you find a good one, a different world will open up!
Thank you so much for your support!!! MEANS SO MUCH!!!
@Miranda I also spent a long time really over thinking what I write here, really wishing I could be one one of those people who are naturally emphathetic and effusive. I also am a real people pleaser. I actually use here as a place to ‘practise’ being a bit more carefree with my words. And like you said, no one here knows me in real life so it feels safer.
@onthewagon31 Congratulations! 
Day 746
Had a yummy breakfast, which was a buffet, with Japanese style breakfast and western style breakfast, so I ate both. Then more playing in the water and insect finding. We found a stick insect, a preying mantis and mukade (evil centipede). Then on way home called into a Chinese family restaurant and was served by a robot. Back to reality now!
Hey all, checking in on day 804. I hope everybody has a good one!
Happy birthday to Nathan 
3 month AF today. 92 technical days
I love the quiet mornings. Its pretty much the only time the entire day I get to myself. Just me, my readings, mediation, doing nothing, or something lol.
Hear that? Me neither… 
Have a great day out there everyone.
Happy birthday Nathan! 
Hi all, checking in, today’s plan is to clean up the basement and get some errands done. Also practicing meditation & mindful awareness and acceptance. I’ve been in a class about this and I am really liking it.
@Becsta how’s the move going? I bet you’re up to your elbows in boxes 
Good morning friends. Checking in on day 442. I was stoked for coffee and sunshine this morning. Instead I get coffee and rain. I’ll take it! Sober!
Congratulations on 3 months @Shaunda! You’re doing great. I love these quiet mornings too!
Happy birthday Nathan @Piglet86 and Easter eggs in August sounds brilliant! Six year olds know how to have fun!
Congratulations on 4 months @onthewagon31! Keep it up!
Glad that you are feeling better @Miranda! I hope you have good steps on your journey towards mental health support. For me, getting treatment for depression and anxiety made a huge impact on my progress with sobriety. Always remember that you are not alone!
@Misokatsu I almost flagged your post for that centipede! 
I hate those things with the fire of a thousand suns! In all seriousness, glad you had a fun day with family, and the robot server really appeals to the introvert in me.
