Day 21. Went to my first AA meeting today and got my 24 hour chip. Pretty excited I get to go back and get my 30 day very soon. I made myself talk, even though I didn’t want to. It was hard to spit out those words but it makes it more real. Really felt welcome there and actually met someone who’s friends of the family (small town, which is partially why I had not gone yet). Overall I really enjoyed the meeting and will definitely go to more. I really want to sincerely thank everyone here. Reading everyone’s posts and everyone that responded to mine with words of encouragement really got me through the first 3 weeks. I can’t wait to keep knocking days out, one day at a time. God bless y’all.

End of day 50. Tuesday is the next court day. Dreading it. I feel like none of my progress matters … only that I had one really bad day 50 days ago where I threatened my own life. Nobody got hurt and I didn’t attempt suicide, yet I’m still considered dangerous. So dumb. Still pressing on.

Day 19 here,

Feeling a little flat today, have had a few things to deal with surrounding people in my life. I seem to be the person others reach out to forn help when in need.

Theres been a few in the last month or two.

Today im grateful for my sobriety and this app and all the amazing humans on here!

About to eat some lunch so hopefully that’ll pick me up a bit do a few more chores and hopefully get around to polishing the wheels on my car for tonight.

Coffee. Time to get moving or I’ll be late for work. I’ll be late for work anyway because they changed the train schedule (read: cut in it). Another reason why I’m saving for a :blue_car:. Anyway. I had a good rest. I’m sober and clean. And I see @jjc92 Joseph and @marcusmaximus2000 Marc both celebrating their quadruple figure Sobriety! Huge congrats guys!

I know my day will be good. Sober and clean. Just like I expect from all of you becasue it’s the only way for all of us. Have as good a weekend as you all can friends. Love from my little square.

#Day 1480 :seedling:
Today? Work. But for the first hour just me chilling with my cat and a cup of coffee. Nothing more, but enough.
Overall busy days so cancelled my band rehersal yesterday. My body was screaming a bit :scream: So I gave it some rest.


I picked a new card for today. The translation is:

ā€œToday there is nothing I should get, nothing I must do and there is nothing that I should be than what I already amā€¦ā€

Hope my translation is correct, but I guess you understand what it’s saying :hugs:

Have a great saturday! :raising_hand_woman:

Checking in on day 413, late check in. Spent the entire morning in the ER. Tweaked my knee about a week ago and last two nights pain has kept me awake so decided to go at about 3 am thinking it wouldn’t be busy but man I was dead wrong. Over 60 people waiting. I had to wait in my car for four hours before even being called in due to lack of room. Endend up having a tear in my meniscus. Was put in an immobilizer and had to wait for over an hour just for them to find crutches. I got to the point where I said I’d drive to the store and just buy some and then magically some were found. Frustrating day but I’m alive and pain is dissipating with ice and cortisone so I have that to be thankful for. Hope everyone is staying safe and take care!

Hi Travis,

I know the fatigue symptoms very good.
Give your body enough time to rest.
There are a lot of processes going on when getting sober and the body needs time to heal. For me, short naps during the day are still very helpful. Congratulations to 19 days so far :call_me_hand:t2:
