Five hours to midnight and day 52 is in the books. I am fairly new in this forum and thought Iād wait to 60 days to post. But today is the day that pink cloud finally drifted away. I was down and out most of the afternoon but held out from drinking or picking up. Was very proud of myself for rejecting a drink last night without thinking twice. Goes to show how mindless some people are. I went to my sons friends house to thank the parents for watching my son while I was away at rehab and first thing he asked was if I wanted a beer. Oh well. I made the right choice without making a big deal about it. Have a great night everyone and good job for taking another 24.

Congrats to @Benwa10 for the first month, and a big welcome to @PrettyBritty !
Day 9 (I think)
just about to go to bed. Have to get up a little earlier for work, as I made it through training pretty quickly, so 7am is my regular schedule now. Iām still not used to going to bed this early. But Iām still sober, so thatās okay. Good night, sober peeps!

@Twizzlers I love that you didnāt judge yourself for sleeping late and just went with what your body needed excellent job! That is so hard for us to do at times, be compassionate with ourselves. I also love that you were going to do a couple simple things and get back to bed I can relate! I went for a short hike after work, ate and am heading to bed super early. Itās the best I can do right now and thatās ok. Thank you, thank you, thank you for saying such nice things to me! It means more than you know and I really appreciate you so much I hope you get plenty of rest and wake up refreshed. Love you pal, super proud of you

How are you doing now?
Oh my gosh I know that feeling.The over thinking. My inner voice and self doubt, or what I could have done or should of done- itās so hard to turn it off sometimes isnāt it??? My daughter is a lot like me in that way too. I see her struggle with worrying about what she said or did and I try to remind her that sheās probably more upset about whatever may have happened than anyone else that was involved. Let it go, forgive yourself, youāre human. If your friend canāt do the same, then itās really not your problem. I knowā¦I knowā¦ So easy to say right? Lol
I hope you find some peace tonight. This is the only moment that matters

87 AF early check-in
Please donāt feel triggered 
I am feeling so lost this morning! 
Emotionalā¦ My heart feels sick.
I have a ton of old patterns coming up,
very loud in my headā¦
I am not good enough,
I have to be alone,
I am not valuable,
Nobody wants me,
I am wrong.
Sry, had to shout out this somewhere.
Any advises?
Tried some counter thoughts writing,
doesnāt work today.
Have to hurry to work now

Day #55
Another day, and another opportunity to be grateful for being sober. Iām pleased to have gotten yesterday out of the way, as only a few months ago, I would have dealt with the situation differently, but my sobriety now has me seeing things in a different way.
Firstly, has anybody else felt really irritable since being sober? Iām not necessarily talking straight away, but once the āhoneymoon phaseā begins to wear off. Iām sleeping well, Iām eating well & exercising 3-4 times a week, but Iām still feeling a bit indecisive, and as though I could flip at any moment 
Didnāt have the best shift at work yesterday, but Iām sensing my triggers before things begin to get out of hand & Iām removing myself from potential threatening situations. I ended up going for my break yesterday at a moment when I could feel everything boiling over, so I removed myself, had 10-15 minutes & returned feeling more composed and clear-minded. Also, a few months back, I would have no doubt ended up finishing work, heading home and opened a few beers in order to calm myself down, but I didnāt do that yesterday; alcohol never even crossed my mind. So, all in all, small wins!
Itās approaching two months since I last had a drink, and Iāve worked hard to get to this moment. Of course, Iād like to help friends and family who may be struggling, but does it make me a bad person to guard myself & to remove myself from doing so when any help Iāve attempted to provide in the past has been thwarted? Of course, Iāve not attempted to force my choices or advice on anybody, but it just feels like some āfriendsā are beyond help at this stage. It makes me sad, but also, I cannot afford to burn my own fingers at the same time.
Sorry for the rant, but I needed to get some much-niggling thoughts off my mind. Today and Tuesday is technically my āweekendā this week due to work commitments for the rest of the week. Have a great day everybody - ODAAT!

1 week done 
First weekend sober in a very long time!
I have a stinking cold which may have made it easier, all Iāve wanted is hot drinks. But Iām so proud of myself, as is my husband which has been a nice feeling.
Monday, letās do this.
