Have as good a day as you can friends. Sober and clean. Love from the gym in Utrecht.
Thank you 
hope you are doing well yourself ?
First - great to hear/see from you!
Second - Happy Birthday!
Third - oh, can I relate to “drawn out nature of my recovery”. You won’t get judgment from me. Nor do I have any original wisdom or response to this. Everyone is different, all 8 billion of us 
, but the words that were sent/said to me that helped me immensely, when I needed to start (and restart) again, were these:
You sound excited and ready. I’m excited about this year too! But let’s just take it a day or hour or minute at a time for now. If you feel like joining on the Gratidude thread, there’s always room. I sound a bit like @Dazercat here, but I too can attest that filling my cup with gratitude makes less and less room for cravings and even some of the stuff that caused them.
I think I’ll head over there now. Grateful for your post! 
On my way to work. I’m fine thanks xoxo
Day 102
Oh boy I’m so sore 
Second day after physical therapy, this always is the worst. No planking today, only stretching and maybe a bath.
Today the team has to discuss something important with our boss. And it’ll be difficult.
Usually she’s really nice but sometimes she’s the devil in person, she showed this yesterday 
And yes I took it home with me, not the whole evening but yeah…not good. Have to work on that more. Free time is free time.
Looking forward to Friday, I’ll check out another hairdresser. They’re more expensive but really good with short hair on women’s heads 
I may check in later if the discussion is to overwhelming.
Have a beautiful sober day friends and stay strong 
#Day 1575 
Ok, feeling ok-ish.
But also feeling unstable and a bit irritated.
To much in my head.
Work today, so that gives distraction.
We are going to add another sober/clean day together shall we! 
Make it a good one 
Checking in
Day 332 Substance free
Day 10 Binge free
Its 115am here and im still awake watching my son bcuz we have no homecare. I completely forgot how hard this is on my eating. I am trying sooo hard not to snack all night. Ive been to the kitchen like 5x looking for something bcuz im tired, im irritable, im needing comfort of some sort. I dont think id call this wanting to binge eat but its certainly emotionally based eating. As im typing this i think i will go and make some tea to help me. Going to do some reading on here i think for a bit. Hope everyone is doing okay today.
Just by being here and posting or reading everyone is showing care for themselves, taking care of their sobriety, or working towards it, taking care of their mental and physical health.
@Butterflymoonwoman long night for you. Sometimes I drink sugar free or maybe it’s fat free Swiss Miss I think hot chocolate. It’s 25 calories, more with almond milk and is soothing … I know you can’t get it tonight and it could be off bounds of your diet. Wishing you and your boy a peaceful night.
@SoberWalker that picture is amazing!!!
On this little tiny phone screen! You’ll find your groove back soon I hope. I think you’re working a lot this week and I know you’re out of the band and selling or sold the drums. You’ll find something nice soon plus Spring is Coming.
@1in8billion good to see you.
@Sabrina80 hope it all goes ok for you.
@Mno de Workout! 
editing to add wow! It says Hi! Good to see you! Crazy.
And everyone else. Take care of yourselves and your sobriety. Reach out for the support you need.
Thank you so much for ur words. I will definitly have to look into that. Im drinking green tea now. Not always soothing i guess lol but its helping a bit. Just like other things… this too shall pass. This night will be over at some point. It wont last forever. And im sure we will have homecare tonight (hopefully)
Nestle Fat Free. Does have sugar but not a lot.
I missed your 100; days congratulations 
I can only speak for myself and how Iv helped my self in being able to switch off from stuff instead of letting it consume me which is 6pm on weekdays i don’t think or talk about or check emails and the weekends if this is possible for you it feels a good rule for self care and to take your own feelings in to account to. And to be able to switch off.
It seems to be working so far me, change it to how it worked for you so you get to spend your time on you without worrying or what it is that you keep going over in your head.
I also find watching you tube videos of woman, that teach us ways to say things so it’s straight to three point but not invasive for the person in the receiving end.
Not sure if any of that fits your situation 
@Butterflymoonwoman I also missed your 330 days Congratulations
I hope this night goes easy on you, I am can understand the wanting to eat especially as you have to stay up all night you will need to keep your energy up and body fuelled of your not sleeping so don’t feel bad for it.
@1in8billion Glad to see you! It sounds like you have reached a real turning point 
. I was trying for ages to quit before I found this app, I dread to think how drawn out my recovery would look if I had found this app earlier, so don’t be embarrassed! So long as you get there in the end!
Kinda like the look of this number, gonna have to try for all the 8s in a few days. Things are going ok. Finishing up the semester, going to be busy getting grades in next week. Have started up a couple of Japanese study things, so that should keep me busy during the holidays. Also going to start up c25k for the god knows what time over. Generally feeling much more stable than I have for a few weeks. Really makes me realise that recovery is a journey, and you must always stay aware, and ready to change things up if things look to be sliding.
I enjoy the longer days. But these nervous breakdowns ruin it for me. I am human. I will be ok.
Day 17.Today is my last day at my job,I’m starting on a new path next week 
Staying sober has to be first in my life.This new job will allow a better work/life balance which will allow me to focus more on my recovery. I hope everyone has a good sober day!!
Thank you for taking the time to write something for me! 
Yes, I will find my way! At work eating my lunch and reading your message helps!
Checking in Day 12 AF
I’m happy I made it past my most recent longest sober time & I’m looking forward to hitting the 2 week mark 
I’m not going to dwell on it though, and I’m just going to focus on today. It feels awesome waking up on a day off this early, not hungover feeling like crap and hiding in bed all day. My new saying every morning I wake up is YOLO You only live once. It starts my day off reminding me that I want to be present in the moment, how precious every day truly is, and that I don’t want to continue living in a drunken hungover mentality.
Hey all, checking in on day 941. I hope everybody has a good one!
