Day 6. Watching sports and not drinking. Thatās new for me but feeling fine. Itās the two open bar parties at work this week that will be the challenge. Donāt remember much beyond the first hour or so of these parties over the past 3 years so getting through this week will be big. I could skip them but donāt want to. Rather prove to myself that I can do it.

Open bar=nothing good!
Think about it; you want to celebrate or socialize, letās get so drunk that I wonāt remember a thing!
A bit over the top but you get my point.
Put drinking in itās place, itās not needed to be yourself.

Checking in Day 3
Started the day off in really high spirits. Had lunch with my mom & daughter. Then about an hour or so ago, my mood turned a sharp shift downward. Just going to take some melatonin and go to sleep. Woke up sober on my bday & going to bed sober. Happy about that though.

Evening Check In
Day 300
Work went well overall. Turned out to be a good shift. Came home to do dishes, make supper, give my boy a bath and do his monthly tracheostomy change. Feels good to be tired for a good reason and not bcuz i havent slept lol
Recovery wiseā¦ i am shocked honestly that ive got 300 days today. Idk it just baffles me! From someone who could barely make 3 days to now 300, it really makes me tear up. To think i havent put ANY drugs or alcohol into my system at all for 300 continuous days amazes me! It makes me realize that i really underestimated myself and my ability to cope with life without drugs in it. I truly deep in my heart thought id never fully live without drugs in my life, that id be using something to cope. And life is sooo good today bcuz im clean! Im grateful 
Reaaaalllly grateful! I am feeling nervous though, ill be honest. Im beginning to think about my 1 year on February 13th and i shouldnt but im super excited. Im excited but also super nervous bcuz thats a long ass time to be clean. Im not worried about using, it just makes me nervous to truly think how long ive gone without drugs. Like holy crap! ODAAT though. All we have is today.
Health wiseā¦ eating wasnt good today. I did binge eat for some reason. But ill keep at it. Weekends are always hard for me to stay on track bcuz of work and not being able to exercise. I find exercise and eating well go hand in hand.
Anyway, hope everyone has a good day/evening!
Hugs!!!

Good night all! I made it through my Day 3 with no alcohol. Now lying in bed writing in my journal and going to do some reading before sleep.
I had a few cravings here and there when i started feeling overwhelmed about all of the bad things Ive done while being drunk. But I managed to snap out of it by keeping myself busy. Normally I would wallow in it and self isolate.
My roommate drank a few seltzers around me but I managed to be okay with that. I asked her to please not twist my arm and to respect how badly I want this. Sheās also going to try to cut back or not be so obvious about it.
Overall, Im pretty darn proud of myself and just grateful to be going to bed clear headed. Also very thankful to have found this community.

Checking in on day 5
I had lots of tears and snapped at my fiancĆ© a few times today which wasnāt fun for either of us, but I apologized and we got through it quickly. Luckily he understands that Iām a little on edge right now.
Over all it was a very lovely day. I made it to the gym again (shockingly), me and my man went on a nice date, we finished our Survivor season, and picked up our roommate (my best friend) from the airport. Sheās been out of town since day 2 and I didnāt tell her I was on day 1 before she left. Iām a little glad she wasnāt here during the embarrassing part of the withdrawal, and Iām a lot a bit glad sheās back now cause I missed her.
Feeling very thankful for my little family.

Today I went to the gym twice. Once alone, once with one of the kids. Had a good time there. It seems to be my happy place recently.
After the gym for the second time, i went to get food with her and then took my friend shopping. Then went back out to get my little one some medicine, because sheās getting a cold.
Iāve been going since 9am and itās currently 130am here.
I think itās almost time to rest.
I hope everyone has had a good day
