Congratulations on 6 days!
Day 33 sober today. Still dark here outside. So thankful for the deep sleep that I am finally experiencing over the past couple of nights.
I have dropped 12 pounds over the last month. Slowly getting energy back and my joints are not hurting nearly as bad. It is crazy how alcohol affects our body but our brain tells us that we like it. I donāt want to ever like it again. Thankful for sobriety! Have a blessed day today!

Happy Sunday all just off to the gym here, feeling focused and motivated, sending strength and love
Hey all, checking in on day 1,001. I hope everybody has a good one!
Checking in 19 days sober. This might be TMI but yesterday had the worst period cramps Iāve had in 20 years. Not sure if this is related to my new sobriety but it was awful. As a result had to lie around on the couch all day which was not great for my sobriety as I started craving. What has been helping me is to keep a structure and stay busy but I just wasnāt able to yesterday. I did find some online zoom meetings (havenāt attended any yet) but it was one day and I got through it and woke up this morning grateful to be sober and grateful for all of you happy Sunday all!
Morning Check in
Day 392
Good morning TS fam! Its wayyyyy to early for this girl. The time change threw me for a loop this morning lol im on my way to work for another shift wishing i brought A LOT more coffee
Im feeling a bit better mentally today tho. Staying focused on the 24 hours ahead has helped alot. Im also realizing more of the benefits of meditation. During meditation, when my mind drifts, i bring my focus immediately back to my breath. I have been using this method during my day when i cant seem to focus or when my mind is alllll over the place causing me grief. I just bring my mind back to where it needs to be (the task at hand). Its calming my anxiety that is caused by my thoughts. Grateful for meditation and want to keep improving this skill.
Other than that, things are okay. My son is abit sick but we are managing okay at home. He seems to get sick so easily i know his complex medical stuff creates a base for getting sick easier. We just try our best to keep him healthy.
Hope all of you are well today! Enjoy ur addiction free day!
I obviously missed your 1000 days friend. So hereās a massive congrats to 1001!!!
Day #8 staying focused. Working step one. Feeling grateful.
Share what helps you Catmama. Thereās a thread on the subject, although it hasnāt been super active lately I see. Women's hormonal roller-coaster
Wow that is awesome
Thank you!!
This is true, our brain gets wired by the Alcohol to tell our bodies we need it to survive like we need food and water. When I was explained this it made sense. And helped with cravings to know that my brain thinks it needs it to survive thatās what the cravings are, but I know my body doesnāt need this like food and water so I can go without it.
Congrats on your 33 days
Fantastic awesome lovely people
Day
Did first running workout after long break. Was planning it for weeks.
The weather is not perfect, but I remember this quote:
āIf you wait for perfect conditions, you will never get anything done .ā
Hi all, Iām a newbie here, day 26 for me, Iām a grad student (PhD) and spending this quiet sunday studying - lucky for me I love my work
Hey all checking in. Not much going on second half of the day. I donāt know who came up with this daylight savings time bullshit, but I can guarantee that they didnāt have to get up for work on Sunday morning. My ass is dragging. . Have a great day guys
2279 days. Woke up with a scare thinking it was Monday and the clocks said 8:45am. I thought I blew it and my kids were missing their 1st period class. SHIT!! And then I realized it was Sunday and ony 7:45am. I immediately reset the downstairs clocks. I am having a lazy morning. Did the NYT puzzles and Taz is sleeping next to me.
