Have as good a day as you all can friends. Sober and clean. Love from Oosterpark.
Feeling positive, still feel a little tired but that is to be expected, you can’t just abuse the body like i did and expect to get away scot free, have a great weekend everyone
Day 6 is amazing! So happy for you. Keep going♥️
Thank you very much
How long since you’ve gone this long before? (You don’t have to share🙂)
I can normally go a week or 2 then relapse, the longest was 6 months about 8 years ago
I absolutely am! 
Where i am living there are no cars driving
at all and only Spanish people are living
in this “street”. The night was silent and i had a deep sleep. In the morning the faucet is “ringing”. Feeling very safe here.
I will send greetings from the ts Swimclub to the fresh atlantic ocean @Twizzlers and you.
Day 3. I am back after relapsing many times since July. I was able to do a month at time here and there, but then my mind thinks its ok to have some and its not a big deal, I can control it. I have never been able to control it! So, I’m back and I need to write out my daily commitment and set my mind straight.
I commit to change for my family and my health.
I promise that today I will make better choices and use better coping skills. I am blessed to have this opportunity. I’m greatful! Today I will be a better version of myself.
I pray for everyone who is struggling. Keep fighting! I will not stop quitting.
Day 76
Today we had a temperature record of -11°C what felt like -20°C because of the wind 
Next week it’s going to be warmer. This weather in combination with the energy crisis we’re facing is draining. Maybe soon we’re having “brownouts”, means some cities or regions won’t have any power for some hours because our energy net is weakening. There just isn’t enough power for all any more. Slowly it feels not good at all to live in Germany, I’m starting to worry a lot more as I used to. So many parts of life are becoming almost impossible to manage. And there is nothing good in the news, only sickness, war and crisis. Time to completely stop consuming anything of that.
Good to be sober tho 
But I’m honest, it’s hard.
Anyway, I hope you’re having a beautiful sober day friends, stay strong 
Hey all, checking in on day 915. I hope everybody has a good one!
Happy Friday friends!! May everyone have a prosperous day, a confident day, and a joyous day!

That is a good start. In February I was in panicking mode like maybe many people in Europe. At one point I couldn’t take it and for the first time in my life (I think) I stopped watching the news. I still was and am watching documentary but not the news. My newsfeed at work which is generously provided by Microsoft sends me the latest news of Harry and Magan which is very refreshing 
No seriously, I concentrate on what I can do in my life. When I leave home there is only the fridge consuming electricity. Apartment is at about 19 degree. I safe water where I can. I use public transport. I do what I can and it doesn’t really hurt.
What won’t help is drinking, well that at least is for sure.
I’m doing exactly the same. At home it’s 18/19°C. When I’m on my PC I turn up the temperature to 20°C (it’s the smallest room so I hope that won’t hurt) and I try to not heat more, I put a hot water bottle on the ground to warm my feet or I put it on my lap
I watch a lot of Documentaries on YouTube and recently joined the Netflix Gang again 
That helps a lot.
Congrats to you too! Keep it up!!!
If I may suggest something, keep a written journal of how you feel everyday. This way you can go back and revisit your mind frame today on the days you feel like you want to use again. I always feel like my memories will do justice to preserve how I feel in the moment but they never do, wounds heal and scars fade over time. For me at least, being able to revisit the sting helped me whenever I had an urge to use. Be as raw and descriptive of your feelings toward your use as possible in the journal. God bless and you’ve got this.
Hello all,
Checking in on Day 1,603.
God Bless!

@Intothesun congrats on 3 weeks and the health improvements too
858 days no alcohol.
323 days no cocaine.
Slept only 2 hours last night. Safe to say the fatigue is still with me. I was out early to drive to my hometown to go to my doctors for my Testosterone injection, glad I made it, spent most of the night worried that I’d oversleep, quite the opposite apparently.
Since returning home I have tried to do some jobs but my body is so tired. My brain however is buzzing away about everything I should be getting on with but don’t have the energy, so I haven’t even been able to nap today.
All is well though, I usually do better at weekends so here’s hoping!
Wishing you all wonderful sober weekends
Hi Sabrina and Franzi @anon74766472
Being here in Spain far away from it…
I am on the bright side - of cause, now.
And i am far away with all this sun and 25 degree.
But from that point of view I absolut can confirm what you are thinking Sabrina, even more, being here.
On this island the internet is very well…
And i am thinking about doing a total remote job and leave Germany again!!!
I even can’t imagine to come back to the toxic field in my company, yesterday sitting on the beach I thought i will inform my boss that I can’t do this anymore, and he has to make the choice, otherwise i will be sickleave to the moon and back.
I will turn 40 in April, I have to make change!
