Checking in sober.
I was thinking about recovery tools. I do this from time to time. Most of the time itâs too abstract for me. Like something to overcome an urge. So short lived.
What I experienced just now in the last hours, what somehowade me realise: this IS the most important âtoolâ for me. It is talking about what is stuck in my head. When I feel offended by someone or something. Say it out and probably Iâll get it corrected. Ask how someone meant it because I received it like this or that. I can reframe it. And there wonât be anger, sadness, self-pity and other feelings which I used to cure with drinking. And really most of the times talking about it is so simple and makes such a huge difference.
This is a good technique I try to remember this when my mind is going to a bad place. It usually helps me to relax some.
Day 7 for me and I couldnât be happier about my choice to stop drinking and stay stopped. Going to my online Tempest meetings every day, practicing taking up space and using my voice by speaking at most of them. I agree with @anon74766472 that talking about what is coming up for me is a huge help; I always get practical and positive feedback from the coach/facilitator and others on the call. Nobody is farting rainbows
theyâre all very real. I couldnât get myself to speak in the past, I couldnât get real, couldnât show myself but that has changed now. Been journaling and watching inspirational YouTube videos by some badass sober people like Jamie Lee Curtis, Ben Affleck, Nikki Sixx and Alice Cooper. Going for runs, had a nice one this morning with my dogs
. Looking forward to a nice quiet day. Very grateful for all of you ![]()
I wish i was where youâre at! Itâs cold and ugly here. Soak up all that wonderful sunshine and send some my way! Have a great day!
The past two days have been a struggle for me but with this app and online meetings I made it through without drinking/using. Feeling very grateful to be on day 7.
Free from weed! Itâs been a rough 5 days and still having some withdrawals, but Iâm feeling much better. I couldnât have done it without all of you and my meetings! Thank you everyone! I also have to thank myself for sticking with it
Day 56.
I may have figured out part of the reason I feel so shit. Iâve been ignoring a tooth ache for a few good weeks and these past couple of days itâs gotten so bad, I canât sleep properly and the paracetamols (aka tylenol for those of you across the pond) and ibuprofens stopped working. So today Iâm doing the responsible adult thing and going to an emergency dentist that managed to fit me in.
Yesterday I celebrated 55 days of sobriety by going to a shooting range. It was a nice wholesome sober activity. Actuality, one of the few activities I can think off where alchohol is absolutely forbidden lol. And I was proud of my husband for sticking to coffees all day. It was only my second time actually holding real guns, but the instructors were really good and helpful and made it all feel very safe. I mean, it was still freaky. And Iâm a terrible shot.
So yeah, dentists and guns. Thatâs todayâs update ![]()

love this! Dentists and guns
Checking in sober! Grateful AF (as f*ck in this case
) to wake up sober and plan on being sober today. One day at a time. I feel like my body is still trying to figure out this change I made (18 days so far), alternating between exhaustion and some manic type feelings. Inspired by yâall regardless whether youâre on day 1 or 1,000 ![]()
Iâm getting ready to attend my first in person meeting! Itâs a CODA meeting. Codependency is one of my biggest problems. I get emotionally attached so easilyâŚ
