Day 12! Each day is an accomplishment! I Indy made it to 40 before relapsing 12 days ago- but even though I had to start over I can feel each āslip-upās mistakesā cheering me on - and reminding me of how I mentally turned all the help off last time instead of staying plugged into the work at hand - each day - especially the days I felt fine.
Day 992 clean and sober and already at work but checking in real quick. Have a great day, love you guys
22 days today Sober. I have read six chapters in the big book in two days. Trying to visit this community several times a day to stay connected. I have made contact with several guys who are in recovery for fellowship and accountability.
One day at a time!
Hey all, checking in on day 990. I hope everybody has a good one!

Day459
Still here, still sober. Still a miserable old gitā¦.but thatās never gonna change!
Thanks to everyone who responded to my post yesterday. I just want to clarify what I was meaning because it seems as though it was misinterpreted.
When I said the below
I was referring to not having anything in particular to say or anything that I could particularly contribute with, it was a poor choice of words on my part. Everyone here matters, I was meaning I felt like I should have had more to say as I hadnāt checked in for nearly 100 days but I had nothing worthwhile to share.
Positive quote for today -
Whatever you do always give 100% - Unless your donating blood!
When ever you post I find you supportive of others
Itās good you see you checking in.
Sorry to read such terrible news. I have lost family to it in the past year and have my mum fighting it for the 4th time in her life (breast cancer twice, cervical cancer now bowel cancer).
My condolences go out to you.
Day 152 (5 months)
Iām sitting in the train home, the weather is beautiful, Iām feeling good and the day was better than expected this morning.
My coworkers found out that I have a Date planned this Saturday and wanted to know everything
Iāll tell one of them where Iām at via Google so she can see live where Iām going. Safety first because no matter how nice someone feels, he still might be a creep. Iāll also message her when I go home.
Now thereās only one thing to do: what the heck should I cook today? Hungry without ideas again.
So possibly pasta.
I hope youāre having a beautiful sober day friends, stay strong
Good afternoon everyone. Checking in on day 558. Had a busy morning this morning and just finally getting to settle down. Pellet stove was malfunctioning and was brand new so was rather frustrating but all worked out now. Now just sitting back and waiting for the warm weather to come and hopefully a call back from the interview. Hope everyone stays safe and takes care!
@KarenKW feel better soon
@Steve72 @Liz22 @SelfLove_42 congrats all on your week
@CueBall8n9 congrats on 3 weeks
@JonB welcome congrats on 26 days
@Bones_80 sorry about your friend
933 days no alcohol.
398 days no cocaine.
20 days no vape.
Had a nice surprise today, I received a text from my Auntie, inviting me out for a carvery lunch, I was free so accepted, it was lovely to see them and to catch up, the food was nice too.
Did both of my walks in the rain today, canāt let the weather dictate whether I go or not.
I have a TENS machine arriving sometime within the next couple of hours, Iām hoping I can figure out how to use it, and that it may help my back some.
My UTI symptoms are back, so before I just did my walk, I had to drive to my hometown to drop a sample off to my doctors surgery, Iām really hoping the results come back from the hospital before the weekend because these symptoms make me so miserable and scared after how ill I got from a bad UTI last year.
Yes I do like the pegman views. But it also depends on where in wich country you walkā¦
The ring of Iceland for instance wasnāt as nice as I expected it to be.
My medals:
But Iām doing this challenges for years now. It helps me to get/keep motivated
I hope your results are okay
Your doing so well Iām so proud of you for all your milestones stones and wow 20 days today no vape thatās HUGE congratulations
Itās nice you went for lunch to, and spare of the moment doesnāt leave time to talk ourselves out of stuff.
Daily Checking in
Day 381
Had some frustrations today in dealing with people. Its sooo hard for me to be plesant and kind when someone is giving me attitude or being rude or looking at me all weird. I cant even describe how this pharmacist has treated me the past 2 days (had to pick up prescriptions both days). Anyway, im not going to keep allowing her to rent space in my head. She isnt being affected by this, but i am. And i can change that.
I exercised this morning also. Had an intense workout! Feeling pumped! Have eaten well so far. No complaints there. Did some running around and got my 10000 steps in. Finishing up laundry as we speak and waiting for my son to come home from school. Just going to do a meditation soon and some prayer. Feeling grateful as always for my life today. Hope everyone is having a great addiction free day!
Checking in day 3 AF & cig free
I had slip before surgery & it was another huge reminder of why I canāt drink anymore. I make stupid choices when I drink & I will never be able to control my drinking. So I better learn to control not drinking. I hate I missed my 60 day mark being so close. But so far no cig yet either, but still lightly vaping. Surgery went ok. Hopefully the pain subsides in a few more days.
Day 53. Still have a stomach bug and got next to no sleep last night. But my mood is actually a tad better. Work went okay and the brain fog isnāt as bad. My sister is coming to visit for a few days and Iām really looking forward to that. Iām just exhausted.
Hi friends, checking in at day 684. Iāve been doing good, I feel like myself more and more every day, there is a lot of joy in being honest and authentic. I begun to partake in social life more and made some real connections with people, which blows my mind. My body bounced back from all the weight I gained in early sobriety from eating Ice Cream all day and I have lots of energy.
There are also many challenges though. I think about a career change every day, but Iām just not sure enough, so I remain in constant uncertainty. Sober dating is an infinite source of bewilderment and disappointment, yet I still crave partnership. While being open about my addiction with my friends, I still havenāt told my parents - couldnāt handle the unfolding drama, unsure if they would even take me seriously. Havenāt had the guts to go to an AA meeting, even though Iām sure it would be helpful to connect with likeminded people. Ups and downs update after being absent for a while, hope all is well
