Its crazy how deeply wired those desires are.
they seem so innocuousā¦ good job catching it! You can 100% treat yourself with food and company and caffeine and have a blast! Thereās something really special about a geniune good time with friends. Personally the idea of regulating drinking makes me anxious so zero is the right amount of alcohol for me! Have fun!!

Just checking in I hope everyone is having a good day I hope youāre feeling strong if youāre being challenged and I hope you appreciating every gift today has for you.
Im in a great groove right now. Really good family time and work balance. Still doing jiu-jitsu once or twice a week and practicing piano regularly. Just watched home alone again last night where i realized how much my youngest is like Kevin and as someone who use to fit in as well as Kevin did w his fam during that movie i have a new tolerance and sympathy for the boy. Gonna try to incorperate that setiment into my parenting with him more.
Other than that, much love. Youāre all my heroes!

Checking in day 101! Off today- went to the gym and have a quick call with a client. Might do some shopping or something today.
Last night I communicated my boundaries to my partner about what I need, or Iām leaving the relationship. He understood, so now I feel good about however things fall.
Have a wonderful sober Wednesday all!

Hey fam, stay strong and keep your heads upā¦! 
You CAN. And you WILL. No matter what past youāre setting yourself free from; no matter how you feel; no matter how often you have to stand back up. Freedom and success are what you were born for! ā¦finding yourself and at least part of your HUGE potential in the short time we were gifted to explore this existenceā¦ 
Never give up! Ever! 
ā¦ 
Give yourself faith and time to shineā¦ Believeā¦ You might not know or realise it right now, but this life of yoursā¦ is so irreplaceably worth fighting for! Every second ticking by is your opportunity to take control of your own future from now on! Who and where are you, and who and where do you want to be? Step 1. Youāve got this! You HAVE to be willing to invest if youāre ready to growā¦ To progressā¦ You have to let go of your anchorā¦ Your dead endsā¦ Move on my friendā¦ No illusion will EVER be able to compare to what the real world has to offer when you really own itā¦ Be strong. You know what to do deep down in your heart! You know something was or is not quite right in the past or present picture. And whyā¦ And that thatās not all you have to offer or how you want the story of this one-off journey of yours to end! Youāre better and so much more worth than thatā¦ Consider this: the ONLY thing capable of holding you back, is you. But for how long?

Day 40 !!! I had almost 6 months be4 I fell off.
In the 6 months sober I got engaged, married, a job and like louds of cash from work
In about 6 days of binging on weed and alcohol I lost my job and came super close to loosing my wife. That was the 1st time she saw me wasted and I never want to do that to her ever again
I filled out a job application and now I wait patiently.
@1in8billion the whole world ours. The future is in our hands.

Hey guys, I made it!
Talking Sober has been a huge part of my journey and I have been here all of my six years. Thank you all for being here!! I drank at home and couldnāt go a day without drinking wine. My twins were 8 years old when I quit, now they are 14. There couldnāt have been a better gift to myself and to them.

@Kareness congrats on 6 years 
856 days no alcohol.
321 days no cocaine.
10 days no cigarillos. (Still vaping but itās progress)
My body was telling me to rest today, so Iāve listened to it. I think itās a mixture of the SAD, the cold, upcoming trauma memories, upcoming time with family, and maybe the Fibromyalgia too. I did walk both days at the weekend and swam on Monday. It can be frustrating not being able to do things that I know Iād feel mentally better from, but thatās the deal, rest follows doing. I only slept 2.5hrs last night too so that canāt help. Maybe tonight I will sleep better and tomorrow I can do some exercise.

7 days no alcohol today!
Iām feeling pretty good right now. Still having a lot of sugar cravings, but Iāve replaced them with trying different sonic drinks lol. I know its not the healthiest but it is really helping me right now.
Last night was harder for me. My roommate came home with wine. I didnāt so much crave the wine but I had a hard time because we used to let loose together. I told her seeing the wine doesnāt bother me, but seeing her wasted will. She was understanding of that and kept it minimum. She has been very supportive which is all I can ask for and am so grateful for that.
I hope you are all having a great day!! 
Iām so thankful for all of you who have reached out.
