Congratulations to your first sober month!

You feel 'm instead of hiding from 'm.
You think about 'm instead of denying 'm.
You talk about 'm and discuss 'm like you are doing here and now.
And then you come up with a plan to deal with 'm. And do so. One feeling at a time. Tools how to do so can be learned. Itās complicated and itās tough but itās infinitely better than not feeling at all.
So congrats on being mad. Congrats on feeling. Success in dealing with it. Hugs.

Day 54
Had to go home because I got a headache again, so annoying 
Called my Dr and had luck, I got an appointment today at 4pm. I already have medication that helps pretty good but I canāt take it while at work, it makes me very tired and very very relaxed.
So again, I need a sick note.
I need to see an orthopedic doctor, but my appointment is in more than 2 weeks. Doesnāt help me now.
At least Iām sober 
Going to update you guys later

I learned how to deal with anger and resentments in recovery programs like AA. Anger and resentment is my number one trigger now. The tools the can provide have been invaluable and have kept me sober and content. Hang in there.

Hello all,
Checking in on Day 1,581. A notification was waiting that I have been here for four years of today. It got me thinking that this app really has been my best form of outside support to not drink anymore.
Being here has also shown me how important taking personal responsibility for my own past overuse of alcohol and commiting to working on my sobriety really is being successful at it is. Itās on meā¦Pointing blame at anyone other than myself is selfish. Often that attitude can be perceived as judgmental, but if someone else doesnāt like it that is their own problem.
I am Thankful that I even have had a chance to embark on this journey of sobriety as my children will have never known me under the influence of alcohol.
God Bless!

Hello friends. Checking in on day 531 of continuous sobriety. Itās Thanksgiving here in the states and I we are visiting my partnerās family. Today many people will be here and there will be loads of different kinds of alcohol available. I wonāt be having any of it because today I am extra thankful for my sobriety. I will likely be checking back here if Iām overwhelmed, or just bored. I hope everyone is doing well today. Happy Thanksgiving to you other Yanks out there.

@SadMemeQueen im really hoping that thanksgiving isnt a huge disaster for u. Id hate for u to be feeling down and upset over ur family and their behaviors. Im glad u have a plan tho in my place. Ur dog is soo cute 
@SoberGuyUSA thats incredible! 4 years goes by fast! Thank u for sharing and being apart if TS!
@Juli1 so glad u treated urself to something u love! U realltly deserve it with all the hard uv put into ur recovery.
@cjp happy thanksgiving lady! I know you can do this! Try ur best not to focus too much on the alcohol and instead gocus on what u can get out of the holidays and what u can contribute. Maybe develop a plan in case it becomes too much. For example, stepping to the bathroom to deep breathe or heading into another room/outside. Good luck! We are here if u need it!

Morning Check in
Day 284
Morning TS fam! Its 8am here and i already completed another morning workout. Today was cardio day and even though i absolutely did not feel like working out, i always promised myself to get dressed and get to the gym and at least make an effort. Today i had a half decent workout surprisingly. Now just having some green tea and finishing my fast at 11am.
Today my plan is to clean this place up well and hit the $ store. Literally, thats it! Oh and planning for my paycheque tmrw. Not a whole lot. Going to so my daily routine now and start this day!
Hope everyone has an addiction free day! And happy thanksgiving to all my American friends here on TS!
