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 
Congratulations on 8 months!!!
Congratulations on 9 days
One more day the dubble didgets
Stay strong
Todays message… how can you be of service to others?
Morning Check in
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!
Your showing lots of strength
I wish you a merry Christmas
Have your son and your whole family in my prayers 
Sending healing energy 
Sorry to hear this xx
Day 435 AF
Merry Xmas Everyone!
We had a good time at the in-law’s yesterday. My wife and her fam were drinking. I was lil triggered. I had thoughts about drinking afterwards, at the apartment. I think it was the lack of sleep. Ended up eating a lot of food to fight the cravings. Stuffed myself. Passed another test. I’m still sober today. Thank god!
Gonna head over to my sister’s house later on this afternoon. I’m sure they’re gonna drink there too. Another challenging day. I got this though.
Here are a couple of pics of my kiddos:
I haven’t read everyone’s posts yet. But I’ll catch up. Yall have a great day and safe holiday! Take care.
So sorry your son is so sick.
You guys are in my prayers Dana.

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
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.
I’m so glad you had such a lovely day 
I’m so glad you went and your feel good after a wonderful day.
Your doing so amazing with the NRT and 0 vape I’m so proud of you for all of your milestones, keep going strong my friend 
Have a great day tomorrow too happy Xmas 
Great job. Congrats on your hundred days.
Congrats to you on 100 days.
Day 85
I’m having some really good and relaxing days with delicious food 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 
I’m glad you are having a relaxing time. Well deserved.
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. 
I’m back! Had to reset again. I haven’t been doing well since Thanksgiving. I think not having a family is affecting. I did get to see one of my friends yesterday; she will be in jail until 2026.
So I’m kinda alone. Fortunately I can’t drink today (you can sell alcohol in Kansas on Christmas or Easter) so it’s a great day to start healing. Hope everyone is having an awesome Christmas!
8 days without recreational technology abuse
Today was good. Met my sister’s boyfriend for the first time. He was joking about the years of abuse my sister and I endured… Love him already 
He doesn’t treat my sis like some fragile thing, he’s got dark humour and is crazy in a good way. And he cares about other people than just my sis. He’s a good guy, so I’m very happy for my sister.
Besides that I read A Game of Thrones, made some Japanese puzzles and partook in the ts zoom meeting.
I had some strong cravings today, but all in all it was a good day
