Checking in:
Day 33 no alcohol
Day 11 no weed or cigarettes
Feeling motivated on my journey to remain sober. Going to keep myself productive and my mind distracted and focus on my own self care which I neglected when I was using.
Best of luck to anyone out there struggling today. It’s not easy but I can see this time, the fight is worth it. So keep fighting!
Checking in day 4! Happy Friday everyone.

Any newcomers welcome 
I am back to the pool 
Had to pause 1,5 weeks.
First 500 I thought i got soo slow.
Finally made a badass workout 
Evening check in day 8. Headache was better most of the day with medicine, but coming back now. My blood pressure is elevated - thanks to those of you who suggested checking that. I plan to check in with my doctor. Therapy today was decent. Glad to have the next two days off. Im grateful to have felt almost human today even though I’m starting to feel crappy again. It was a nice reprieve.
Wanting to start commenting and interacting more with everyone on this sober journey so here i am on day 19 no booze, Friday was always my big drinking day even tho hell who am i kidding thursday friday saturday of every week was a bender for me it was my routine non stop drinking from after breakfast til i passed out at night but im very much enjoying this sober Friday evening enjoying a cup of tea and watching Supernatural. Anyways that was just what was on my mind hope everyone has a blessed Friday
After awhile you’ll see how absurd it is and how it runs every choice you made.
I hated that it was telling me what to do, lol
Stay strong, we’re all here for you. 
Yeah im already starting to see that, it controls everything and i am happy to be sober today taking it 1 day at a time. I dont even know what i like to do or who i am without alcohol it was such a big part of my life so im looking forward as well as a little scared to rediscover myself. Thank you i very much appreciate that 
@Wolf182 you are definitely not alone with those feelings of who the hell am i if im not drinking! Be patient with your progress and take it day by day
The freedom that comes with being a non drinker is excellent. Been thinking of you, Donna.
Its refreshing to hear that im not the only one lol thank you i definitely needed to hear that!
Checking in… with cake lol
Day 292
I finally got my cake complete. Was alot of work. Back and feet are killing me but it was worth it. Some minor issues came up but i just took a step back and had a little break. This cake is a Confetti unicorn cake with white chocolate buttercream frosting. Handmade fondant unicorn topper, sprinkles, and lots of fun piping! Will be given to a family that has a child who is overcoming a severe medical condition. Hope they like it!
Day 412 AF
What’s good, fam.
Gonna go to my company’s Xmas party in a couple of hours. Not sure what triggered me to drink at the party. I’m on an empty stomach right now. We had to get the kids ready, and dropped them of at the babysitter, then drove out. Didn’t have a chance to get something to munch on. That’s probably what’s hitting me. I’ll grab a snack before heading out. I’ll be okay.
Take care y’all. Be safe.
Check in here if you need support!
The cake looks fabulous!
Checking in on day 6!
Another day of feeling really good. So happy the weekend is here! I swear this was the longest week of my life.
Feeling really confident going into a xmas party with friends tomorrow night. I’ve got my kombuchas, Bubly water, and eggnog all lined up. A bit concerned about my hubby though…… he binge drinks as well, and it often doesn’t end well. I’m really hoping he will keep off the booze tomorrow night also, but I know I can’t force him……
Mention how you appreciate him doing whatever it takes to support you, 
Brilliant im so pleased your able to get back in the pool 
Thats a great swim too.
My last swim i had like 600 metres in 30 mins, where i can usually get double that i was pretty disappointed 
but i was just glad to get there and it was nice still. I am trying out to perfect my technique a bit more to get a better work out, for breaststroke i am trying to get the power to come from my legs most of it is from my arms.
I am going to get a kick board for this.
I am planning to go tomorrow evening but im going to see, as i have alot of preparing to do for my sons 20th birthday we are celebrating on sunday. But I do feel that it will help keep me grounded as the next week i know im going to be up and down with my mental health and inknow it will help i just dont usually go when im not feeling good and i need to see how much it boosts my mind and body.
I had my favourite dinner this evening and im in bed snuggling with my pet babies.
Thank you so much!
