Checking in on day 50! Woke up early to make my partner chocolate chip cookies and set the Christmas morning mood. Feeling blessed to wake up hangover free and excited for time with my supportive family over the coming days.

Merry Christmas to those that celebrate!

Day 51 today

Merry Christmas and happy holidays and if you don’t celebrate, I just wish you a good day

I had a spike of anxiety
No doubt it difficult today to stay sober then the pressure of having a good day with those around you
I’m tired but can’t sleep. I can’t help but worry but I don’t know why. I wish I had my job because at least then I felt secure.
Just got to keep it a second , minute , hour or day at a time

Stay strong everyone :slight_smile:

Day 315
Morning TS fam! I just wanted to pop on and wish everyone a Merry Christmas! Our christmas is going to be delayed. My son is soo sick and so this morning we took a cab to the children’s hospital. We are currently in a room where he is on a cold nebulozer with some oxygen. His oxygen was abit low so this is helping. A chest xray will be done to look for pneumonia. We will most likely be here a few days. Not exactly how I pictured christmas but my sons health comes first obviously. We can celebrate later. Anyway, I dont feel like using or drinking thats for sure. Hope you all are doing well today. Hugs TS fam!

867 days no alcohol.
332 days no cocaine.
100 days no takeaways.
3 days no binge-eating and being on NRT only (with 0mg liquid in my vape for the next few days until putting it back down).

I have had a nice day. It was lovely to see my niece tearing open her presents in the same way my brother used to when we were little. She makes me laugh a lot, she’s got such an amazing character, I hope nothing ever takes that away from her.

Was at my Dad’s this afternoon and we had food, it was delicious. We exchanged gifts and they seemed to appreciate what I’d got for them. I am back there tomorrow for more food as well, because that’s when my brother is going, so we will all be together, which will be nice too. I don’t know whether it’s because I’ve been more open about my alcoholism lately, but nobody drank any alcohol in my presence today! The peace that gave to me was the best gift of them all. I’m not sure whether they did it on purpose or were just too hungover to think about drink. I’m intrigued to see if anyone drinks alcohol tomorrow or not now. I’m totally okay if they do, but it really did make today extra special without it. Grateful.

Strength, love, and hugs offered to anyone struggling :blue_heart::mending_heart::people_hugging:

I’m somehow making it through without nicotine in my vape, and without binge-eating, it was a close call when I got home earlier, as its always triggering being with family, but I managed to calm my urge down and come here where I know I’m safe.

Day 85
I’m having some really good and relaxing days with delicious food :blush: The monster in my head is there too and from time to time it tells me that a wine or beer would be awesome, this would make the cozy time much more perfect.
No, it won’t.
It’s lying and I know it.
Today it won’t win.
I hope you’re having a beautiful sober day friends, stay strong :kissing_heart::muscle:

Thank you so much Alisa!
Yes, I survived such a long time and so many times and then it didn’t even have to knock or kick in the door.
I invited it by myself for a relaxed sit-in.

Spooky how fast and directly I wanted more and how fast this fucked-up feeling was back.
Will bring head sober on the pillow soon. :yawning_face:
