@Minatasha I often fell in that thinking trap too. Like I wanted the “fun” (
) of drinking but also the stability of sobriety. But that is like wanting to be pregnant and not pregnant at the same time. There is no Venn diagram here, just two separate circles. And getting sober is so hard! Do you really want to put yourself through that again? No way, right? But still, thinking about it and reaching out is much better than letting yourself go through with it. You are using tools, let them keep you away from the first drink.
@M-be-free49 Oh, how tragic. It certainly does make you think. My heart goes out to the family.
Day 892
Still feeling strong in sobriety. So glad I reached out on here, within AA to step up my game. Spending the days working on the less life-destructive, but insidious issues of binge eating (20 days free), social media use, resentments and people-pleasing. I feel it will be a long journey. That’s ok.
Today I did about 4 loads of washing (I thought stinky boy teenagers was an exaggeration, no, it is not), went for a run, and will go and buy stuff to make Thai curry for me and the husband, and Japanese curry for the kids. I have got a lot of grading done already which is good for me as I usually procrastinate that.

Day 7, 1 week. Feeling pretty good about it today though the working myself near to death is helping strangely

Day 25
Big day of nothing. Did the usual morning ritual. Met with my employment counselor. Got $10 from a stranger. That voice said “You can’t pay off anything you owe with ten bucks… but you know what you could get?”
Shut up, voice. 
So I just ate and I’m killing time until my scheduled time for bed. Not tired, as usual.
Sorry there’s really nothing engaging to report. Have good sober evening, fam!

I hear you on not knowing who you are. After only making sure I made enough money to get drunk, and getting drunk every day for almost 20 years, I had no time for anything else. The bar was calling!
The good news is that now you have all sorts of extra time, energy, and money to be able to figure out what you like to do. The possibilities are endless!
Congratulations on your 100 
Way to go @Bear21 ! Great first week.

Have as good a day as you can all. Sober and clean. Love from Amsterdam.
Slept way too short. Thank god I don’t drink or use or I would have felt a hundred times worse now, and still would have had to get out of bed and out into the snow. Or I would have been dead by now. Everything that drinking or using promises is lies. Going to go to the detox I work and see if the three suicidal patients I left there last night are all OK. Never again. X

Day 460 AF
My eldest son turned 10 years old today. What a trip. They grow up fast.
Glad I’m still sober through days like this. I used to get hammered and not remember a damn thing.
The only thing I regret is not staying sober sooner. It is what it is. It’s a new day. Gotta move forward.
Hope everyone is doing well.

#Day 1584 
Beside a daycounter for the alcohol I’m working on my sugar intake and buying to much stuff I do not need as well 
Are it addictions? I know the alcohol is. The other ones? I do not know. And I do not need an answer for myself as well. What I do know is that I am not in control of it the way I would like it to be so I made daycounters for them as well.
#day 4 sugar
#day 11 buying
It feels good to work to improve my life for the better!
Woke up in a white world today, there is snow! 
It’s beautiful outside! So definitely going for a walk today!
Picture from yesterday walk to work.
Have a good day TS people!

Checkin in day 268 off the sauce. Epic powder day with my business partner/friend today. Absolutely gorgeous day on the mountain! Good day of work at the resraraunt. Feeling more motivated to stay with it, as far as working there. I think its important to find a balance in work and play, or at least i feel happier when i get out and enjoy something like snowboarding before work. It also makes work just a part of your day, and not the main focus of your day. Plan to run some errands tomorroe and maybe get some more turns in! Have a good night yall!

Friday eve for me, off to see my son tomorrow very much looking forward it as its was his birthday yesterday.
Went to a bar after work with my team ordered a coke while they had beers, brain instantly snapped to want as soon as i stood at the bar and blanked out a but butbsnapped back into sober right quick.
Was nice to have a cold drink in a cooler spot as today was very hot at work and we had little shade to hide under.
