@Lovelylisha That space looks so relaxing! I love a good book in a hammock. I also find myself snacking more than I used to now that Iām sober at get-togethers. Glad Iām not a lone food bar grazer lol!
@Planipenni I LOVE your yard decor!! Hoping youāll crush your community competition!
@Sabrina80 Congratulations on making it to Day 2!! Hang in there! (And Iād love your banana pancakes recipe!)
@Hayleylujah I know deciding to not attend was tough, but man what a healthy and wise decision on your part! It does seem to be a bit easier to be in tune with yourself once your mind is clear. Proud of you!

Day 783
Some low-key irritations from the husband and admin at work. Facebook has really been making me feel like shit lately, I know, I know, that is what it does. But I feel without it I would not stay in sort of touch with so many people and feel isolated.

Checking in. Tomorrow is my first day in the new job and I am glad I wasnāt really nervous until today. I am grateful that the weather was nice, no wind and some sun. I took my bike to discover a bit of my surroundings. At one point I had a strange feeling, then I was a bit scared: I must have missed the sign but I found myself in the middle of a military zone. I had some troubles to get out of there. Somehow it made me laugh when I compare it to getting addicted: you miss the signs, you have a feeling, something isnāt right. But you continue stubbornly because what should be wrong. There were no signs until it hits you and then you get scared of where you are and how to get out of it.
I found a way out. And wonāt go back there.

One thing iāve finally decided to prioritize in the war against my DOC, is SLEEP. Bought myself a fitbit watch and iāve been tracking my sleep. Iāve averaged a little over 5 hours of sleep the last month or so, which is AWFUL. No wonder iāve been having a hard to controlling myself, i CANāT EVEN THINK STRAIGHT. I got 8 hours Sunday for the First time all year long. 6 hours 23 minutes last night which isnāt good enough. Iām shooting for 7 every day going forward.

Hi Robbie,
Why do you have different roommates if I may ask?
I couldnāt never live with someone in a flat, because it would drive me crazy. Even without my fair share of OCD, I couldnāt do this.

Good morning! I got through my first day of sobriety yesterday!!! I had some strong cravings throughout the day. I noticed the cravings passed when I came on this app and read different postsā¦ so I thank all of you for helping me get through the day without giving in!
I made stuffed cabbage soup yesterday for dinner. I had been craving it for days but because I was usually drunk I was lazy and never made it. So what better way to spend my first day.
Curious to see how Day 2 treats me! Fingers crossed I continue to push through

My worst experience was in France when I mixed up the signs for highway and federal road (the are blue and green and in Germany the other way around) and found myself with my bike on a highway. That was really scary

Ugh. The worst. My favorite thing to do when Iām fevery and stuffy is to put a few drops of Eucalyptus oil in the bottom of the shower turn it up hot and have a little sit down in there. Keeps your body warm and clears out your nostrils. I donāt know if youāve ever tried that. Hope
You get better soon!!

Day 39- today is a fresh new day and I do not have to pack or move any boxes. You wanna talk about happy!? 
itās my favorite day of the week. Monday! Therapy day and housewife Monday. Little shoppin. Little cookin. Little cleanin. Getting zenny in my current home space (which is a very old and crooked air bnb and Iām very into how wonky this whole place is). I hope everyone finds some little way to grow your happy seeds today.

Day 73 AF
Day 54 tox ex free plus tox friendship ex free
I just noticed that not only the on.off relationship is at 54 days offā¦
also the toxic friendship I talked about a few weeks ago is lost in no contact. He is not blocked, but he is also not getting in contact anymoreā¦
I feel so much more relaxed!!!
He judged me so often, that I am too sensitive, emotional and that we argued because I was drinking alcohol. But we did because it was absolutely not okay how rough he was talking to me. And it was a act of pure Selflove to sayā¦
No i finally donāt want that anymore. 
Not thinking about drinkingā¦
Feeling my body recovering and healing.
Yoga for athlets was very helpfulā¦ 
I had 2000 further meters of swimming yesterday and 2400 meters today.
Today I was not swimming aloneā¦ 
And it was super nice and funny to meet
him again 
If I would explain every detail, wonāt come to an end. All signs are very positiveā¦ And today we reached pro master status in non stop flirting, even underwater 
Although my addictive self criticism ego is silently whispering some shitā¦
I will try to not listen, relax, enjoy and be excited how this relationship will go on cultivating. 
Eating is a bit difficult today, because there is this 
thing in my stomach. But I will make a little dinner later.
Thanks for this place and all your inspiring storyās 
Hugs and stay sober

Hey everybody, checking in on Monday. Back to work today, ended up just laying around all weekend with a little back injury, so needless to say I was miserable and probably not very pleasant to be around 
. Feels a little better today so probably gonna hit the gym and do some light stretching and try and ramp it up as the week goes on.
Have a great day everybody.
