I feel you. I’m also introverted and have felt like dying of embarrassment after a big binge where I overshared or acted like an ass or both. I don’t have the answer but I know that each day it will fade a bit. Just stay focused on your sobriety and fill yourself with podcasts, quit lit, exercise or whatever will keep your mind busy. You got this
Day 730. Truly happy to be reaching this day. I don’t post on here much but I’m very appreciative for all the help I’ve received here and all of you. I hope everyone has had a good day, and an even better tomorrow.

Haven’t seen you in …….forever
Congratulations.
I’m happy to see you are still working it.
Good for you man.
Day 49!!!
Stopped in my local market today to grab some eggs and tortillas after work. I hadn’t really planned on stopping it was kind of an impulse trip, so I didn’t have a plan or really think about the fact that alcohol would be present and possibly triggering. I usually do a really good job of having a plan when the temptation to buy is present.
Anyways. Waited in line behind a few people and when I got to the counter there was a box of my favorite local organic red wine there… on sale buy one get one. Fuckkkkkkk
Ugh my stomach dropped and I reached for a bottle, set the first one on the counter and then snapped out of it and put it back and made some kind of comment about already having enough wine at home to the cashier, as he looked confused.
I’m feeling a lot of feelings (mainly proud) about the situation but still really shaken up because of the ease in which I grabbed for that bottle.
Have to stay vigilant at all times.
ODAAT
Thanks for staying sober with me today
Day 408 AF
Kiddos are still sick.
Didn’t do much today. Same ol, same ol.
Have a good night, fam.
End of day 31.
Up late cause sleep has been hard last few days but I’m still hanging in there. Trying to spend my time meal prepping but you can only cook for so many days Lol!!!
Even One Victory At A Time!
Congrats on 49 going on 50 Jamie.
Thanks friend. It feels like a really small but super meaningful milestone! Appreciate the support
Checking in. Almost like alchohol is right around the corner waiting for any chance to influence my thoughts. The short term benefits somehow become more valuable for short periods of time during soriety.

Have as good a day as you all can friends. Staying sober and clean is a big part of that for folks like us. Never again. Love.
Is it about the holidays, that you have such a strong craving?
How good is your toolbox filled? Do you need more tools, maybe from us?
Do your problems stem from working at the PC?
What exactly is Doctolib? Sounds good.
If im totally honest i dont think its a trigger, i belive its more of an excuse
I have to be careful im not subconsciously setting up the environment so im left feeling its my only option or even a good option.
Im quite confident i wont drink but im also aware of these signs for me a red warnings.
Theres many reason i could want to drink but there also the many reasons i shouldnt.
I think something is missing from my toolbox i jusy dont know what.
Day 5 early morning. Migraine. I’m glad I got through yesterday sober. It was a major challenge. It helped knowing I have an appointment with my doctor this morning. I really hope he has something to offer for these headaches. Not sure how I’m going to get through the workday. I did treat myself to new clothes yesterday while my favorite store had 50% off for Cyber Monday. Ordered fleece lined leggings and a cozy sweater. Can’t wait for them to get here! I’m trying to find little things I can do for myself.
I hope everyone has a peaceful sober day!
Checking in Day 29 no alcohol. Am going into the office today and have extreme nerves and anxiety to the point it’s making me feel nauseous. I don’t know why the pressure of engaging and being part of a community is so terrifying to me. I guess ultimate I feel judgement which is more than likely my own projection. Oh well will have to push through. Wishing everyone a safe and happy day!
The muscles around my neck are weak because I never train them. I know this since years but ignored it. Working on the PC makes the head go too far forward what causes neck pain.
Doctolib is a website where you can book appointments for all kinds if Doctors online in Germany
A morning check in. I’ve been awake a couple hours, catching up on everything here. But it’s after 6 now, so i will get up.
Last night was really hard for me. I honestly still feel kinda shaken up. But I am going to try to have a positive attitude.
My timers reached
50 days no drugs
179 no self harm
13 eating daily
I hope that I can make it through the day without intrusive thoughts.
We’re coming up on the holiday season and I struggle every year.
I want to thank everyone who reached out to me last night/early this morning
Today I already had a bottle wine in the cart while shopping. Have put it back again and not bought. Why should I waste my day off? To suffer again?
Finally I didn’t take it. But I have been very close to.
Checking in on day 536 in the early hours of a new day. It’s dark and supposed to snow today. Time to embrace winter in all its glory. Hope everyone is doing well today. Let’s do it sober.
Good morning! Remember to breathe! Give yourself some grace! Do the best you can and remember your best doesn’t look like anyone else’s best…my best is different every day…you are worthy of love…you are enough…you aren’t good or bad…you are the in between! Beautifully human! Perfectly imperfect! You can do this!
Off to work now!
