well done. Keep adding those days up.
44 days. Taking care of a very drunk person tonight who is sick. Makes me laugh honestly ā¦ glad itās not me!
Think weāve all been there. Taking care of is much better than being taken care of. Well done on 44.
A bit too late, but happy to see your year milestone!
Congratulations
And well done for your months!
Thatās a really good idea, i do like the thought of chronicling my own peaks and valleys of getting further into the whole of my sobriety and personal growth process
2 weeks (almost) AF and heading for 4 months . Dont even think about smoking now.
Drinking, well this week was much easier than the first week. I used on line S.M.A.R.T meetings last week to help me through difficult days, sharing with others helps a lot.
Just dancing along ODAAT. Ive been on strike a few days this week and feared the worst would happen but coming on here banished all thoughts of going to the pub.
Ive started doing the daily exercise challenge on here at October fitness challenge
Ive dusted the cobwebbs from my bike and have started cycling to work everyday.
My resting heart rate is down to 60bpm now which im happy with.
Im sleeping better these days and generally feeling upbeat about the future and enjoying the ānowā .
Hoping you all have a good day today.
I had a rough night yesterday that led to a rough day today. I need to try to be more active on here so I remember the good that comes from sobriety when the bad stuff comes around. I didnāt drink and donāt want to drink about any of it. Sober is the only way forward.
Tomorrow is a new day and the best thing I can do is lay my tired head on my pillow. Keep at it all you wonderful, honest people. Iām in it with you.

Coffee. Had my covid vaccination yesterday, seem to experience a bit more side effects than I had with the previous ones. Itās not too bad. Iām sober and clean. That helps. One day at a time. One more late shift to go. I got this.
Have as good a day as you all can friends. Make it clean and sober or nothing would come of it. Love from my place.
Day 180
I canāt tell you how much i never imagined making it this far, never imagined a life without substances. Weed was the most powerful overarching issue Iād had for a long while (12 yrs), but Iāve left behind booze as well since i also took about a 3 year stint with the black out train, and some other stuff on the side.
Itās been a journey even just these first 6
Making peace with myself and learning not only accept & live with my actions and choices, but to let go, live in the now and live for myself and my future is better than Iād ever thought it could be. Thereās so much more to gain. Struggles and conflicts? Of course. Impossible to overcome? Not anymore. And no self medication needed this time around.
So much has changed in six months, and thereās so much more to be done. Every day is still the same one day sobriety challenge, and itās just me and my choices. Iām learning how to embrace my better self though, and so, SO thankful for this community in particular. You all are the best support
Thanks again all, and hereās to another 6 months
Great to see you on here Kevin. Its been a while, i hope you are well
Hey all, checking in on day 840. I hope everybody has a good one!
When we start out in sobriety weāre so focused on not fucking up that a lot of times we donāt realize the magic thatās occurring, but as we look more towards longterm recovery we see that what were doing is actually the foundation to lasting stability and happiness!
Acceptance is everything.
Pragmatically working on our future while grounded in todays beauty.
Letting go!!!
Most live their whole lives without drilling these basic concepts associated with reduced suffering.
Amazing work on being 100% sober for 6 months. Thank you for always sharing your journey.
9 months and counting, cant really belive it. One year is so close.
I hope things will get better for you and that you can relax soon! I know the feeling to think one is responsible for nearly everything.
Huge congratulations and many thanks for another inspiring post Marianna!
I can say im sorry i didnt see you where going through a rough time yourself.
I did check through a day or two ago to see when you last posted and it said 1 day ago at the time i checked and i thought with the time zones being different that was normal then i havent been back on properly so im glad to hear your son is doing okay you didnt miss my milestone your with me in energy and love, i think just knowing we all have eachother is such a big comfort that we shouldnt worry we missed something or cant catch up etcā¦ because if we need someone we know their just here, just glad everything is okay.
Hello all,
Checking in on Day 1,529.
God Bless!
