What helped me Col was avoiding every alcohol related event, people and places. So no festival, pub, drinkbuddies, liquor store, parties, weddings, you name it for me the first 3 months ore so of my recovery. After that I was a bit stronger and I could do stuff like that again. But I always went prepared with a plan (what will I drink, what am I going to answer when they ask why I do not drink, how long will I stay, do I take a sober buddy with me, etc).

Awwww, that’s so difficult. For you as a mom to see and can’t do enough to ease the pain of your son. I will light a candle for the both of you.
I hope his fever will go away soon.

#Day 1459 
I drummed my *** off yesterday! 
Play in a samba band of 30 people and that gives me loads of energy.
Today: work!
Hope the weather decides to do better tomorrow because it rains a lot and tomorrow we wanna go to a themepark with family. But one of them is in a wheelchair and that’s no fun at all in the rain…So fingers crossed 
Tomorrow is also my 4 years milestone. Gave myself that nose piercing because of it.
No walks for me lately. Having some pain in one leg so keeping it calm to let it heal. So I share a picture from my holiday earlier on. Watching the sun go down with the people who all did a quad tour in Cappadocia just like us. We drived in small group but gathered together to watch this beautiful sunset together
Have a good saturday TS people!

Coffee. I’m pretty good. Didn’t want to go to work yesterday but I went anyway. And had a good day there, the tension and negativity dissipated for a good part during my workday.Still have to evaluate what happened, file charges over the threats I received on Wednesday, maybe talk to the in-company team that supports employees that experience aggression on the job. But glad I made it to work and did my job. Sober and clean.
So will repeat a late shift today. Sober and clean. Spinning class nearly killed me yesterday, I will skip it today but will do it again tomorrow morning. A specific type of fitness is required for that. It’ll come back.
Have as good a weekend as you all can friends. Make it clean and sober. It’s a first requirement for a better life for all of us. Love from Amsterdam.
PS. My day can’t go wrong if this is the first thing I see waking up

During detoxification I was depressed and full of fear. Alcohol is a very heavy depressant and it took me several days to got rid of this. I know exactly what you mean.

Checking in, day 600 today. I have really started to dig deep in my sobriety and it’s becoming a big part of who I am. So much so that I am trying to figure out how to further spread the joy of sobriety to others, I just don’t know what avenue to use. Instagram? Facebook? Podcast? Who knows.

I’ve also big problems to engage with people and socialising.
For me it easier to connect to others in online meetings. Maybe there are also online meetings for your addiction?
If you have some spare money, just buy a cheap fitness band, which only measures your BPM. I’ve done that right after detoxification.

if you’ve done a 12 step program you can sponsor someone, I can’t change the world via Facebook but I can help one helpless soul at a time who actually reached out for it. Congrats on 600 days
Your doing fine! I think nearly everbody feels at first disconnected from before usual habbits. In “Alcohol explained” the author compares this with a PlayStation he stopped to play. It drove me mad to read this, but in the end he is right.

Your beautiful Luna girl. She looks so relaxed, and peaceful, we all need pointers from her.
Glad your workday was somewhat normal and not traumatic.

169 days AF…struggling a bit. Thought about drinking today. Wondering what life is like without alcohol forever. It’s hard to ponder. I have made a new friend who doesn’t drink so that’s a bonus
