Day 10 - morning checkin. Double figures
Reading the posts and replies on this forum has been a huge help for me, to stay on the path. Thank you everyone, for your encouragement, love and support. I couldnāt have done it without you
Congratulations on your 10 days.
10 days and a cat. What a deal
Day 10 and it was a rough one. Managed to get by but even so, Iām tired. Work was frustrating and stress inducing today so that didnāt help in the slightest. Apparently your brain wants to fall back on familiar habits when stressed. Which is just fantastic. But overall it was alright today and hopefully tomorrow will be better
Thanks Feels like I won a mini lottery
Morning all,
O the way to start day2 sober, feels strange to wake up in morning rested and not having a dizzy head ( like its been daily for over 4 years ).
Last night felt a bit shit befor bed probably coz my body was missing the booze.
Hope you all have a good day
Day #65
Checking in on day 65, and wishing everybody a fantastic day ahead The weekend is almost upon us!
I managed to get along to my first meeting last night for quite a few weeks. It was great to be able to see some familiar faces. It was a Topic meeting. Afterwards, I came away feeling enriched and so much better after having the opportunity to share and listen to likeminded people in a safe, secure environment. It was definitely an aspect of my life that has been lacking in the last couple of weeks while I havenāt been able to get along to a meeting.
My local meeting is quite a small one; normally thereās less than 10 every week. But Iām considering driving to another branch meeting which is about 10-15 miles away every now and again (which happens on a different night), which Iām also told is much bigger - 50+ people most weeks. Hearing a variety of stories and recollections will help me.
Back at work today after a few nice days off, but after today, Iām off till next Tuesday. Got a few plans for over the weekend which will be nice Have a great day everybody - ODAAT.
Congratulations.
Hope to get there myself soon
Good morning all, restarted this app Iām currently 11 days sober alcohol and cocaine. Needed to get myself back on track. I have good support around me. I need to do this.

Coffee. My weekend. Two early shifts to go on Saturday and Sunday. Counting down to my vacation after that. But first Iāll enjoy my first Thursday free of any obligations in months. Too bad I canāt go for a proper hike or bike ride as both my right foot and hand are still a bit off after the spill of my bike I took the other week.
Well, Iāll think of something else to do. Iām sober and clean, just as I expect from all of you here as itās our only way towards a better life. Have as good a day as you can friends. Love from Amsterdam and my workplace in Utrecht, where this view is one of the main perks.
@nerd Congrats on reaching double digits friend & keep going!
@Cez Welcome back Pinky! Letās do this!
Glad to see you back again and giving your sobriety a chance again I had heaps of resets and this last attempt has stuck 7 months now. Just have to keep trying x
Day 10. Woke early, but I did go to bed insanely early last night. Actually slept okay and no headache this morning. Yay! Still battling severe depression though. Iām already on meds and have my next therapy appt Tuesday. Iāve been feeling extra lonely lately. Only a couple people know about my drinking problem and my struggle with sobriety. I donāt feel comfortable opening up to my family yet. Donāt really have anyone to talk to besides you all. I know I could try a meeting. Iām hesitant right now because everything seems to trigger major crying spells. Donāt want that around others. My goals for today are to shower and stay sober.
Hey all, checking in on day 865. I hope everybody has a good one!
Day 97 free from alcohol
Day 77 free from toxic relationships
Day 14 imperfect regular eating
Attention maybe bit triggering words about my drinking storry.
Glad that I made it so farā¦
Today I thought it has become normal,
not to drink, but - itās not normal at all!
It took me strength and power to make it so far.
I was drinking 2 - 3 bottles of wine every day, despite of short breaks and trials to get sober. Last one was 6 weeks in may, started again in combination with the toxic relationship I was inā¦
And I was soo fucking auto-programmed,
not able to stop at all and I had lost ALL inhibitions about drinking in impossible situations.
Even during and after sports, in online Yoga classes or spiritual meetings and yes - I was drunk driving (thank god nothing ever happened) ā¦
Often before having a date (with guys that were not good for me anyway).
I was so fucked up, pending in hangover 24/7.
But I made itā¦
Life has become so much more peaceful until here. Excited about my further journey.
Still trying to eat regular in all its imperfectness. My stomach is in trouble, I had different emotional overwhelmings since a week and stressful situations in job.
Need to ease⦠Tonight itās my 90 minute Yoga live class
Take care
Sending peace and ease
Glad to hear youāre feeling a little bit better Karen. Small steps forward yes. I had no one to talk about this sobriety stuff in real life too. Tried meetings. They were helpful for a while even though I have a serious problems with functioning in groups. But this place for sure is what helped me most, it gave me connection, it gave me people who know the deal to talk to, I even formed some real friendships here. Iām glad youāre here as together we make it work, this sobriety thing. Hugs.

Welcome to TS and congratulations on your first sober day!
Thank you. I need to I was getting out of hand again. Not sleeping getting anxiety but back feeling fresh x
Day 8. My lack of sleep is driving me crazy and I become to be upset and I hate being irritable. I canāt go home until night.
A hard day for me, I hope to have strength and avoid being cranky with people
