6:40 am here. Enjoying coffee.
No booze drunk over the past 3 days.
Fridays are trickier days at the start but confident I can persevere.
Happy super Fridays all. x

Morning,
Checking in on 327 days.
Iām going to Buxton today, in our caravan for the weekend. Iām sooo looking forward to it. Going to find a walk, look round the town and relax.
Day 98 without a drink
I feel so happy I am almost 100 days without a drink
Day 35
So todays morning was not so epic.
There is one co-worker who really enjoys to talk trash about me when I am not there. I am quite peaceful person and very forgiving and we get better over time. I just started to smile to him and call him āmy friend helloā with that in return lately. I try not to think negative about him and forgot all the bad. But this time he started to trash talk around others and I said enough. I put my right hand on his shoulder, gived an angry face and was like:
"What the ##%?@? is your problem??? Stop ###? this i am getting enough of @#?####@?? know when #### the ###%%#!!!"
And he then dropped my hand from his shoulder stood in agressive positoon and was like:
"Take you hand away ###%#@ you ##% of I will ##%%%**## shut your ####%%# or I will ###% on the ground ###%@#!!!*
And then we took different directions and I said ok bye there my friendā¦
So thatās quite of the morning. I wanted to take second coffee before all of this, but feeling like after double espresso already
Aaaaah! Those little teeth! So cute!
Welcome here @GenG
This app has helped me a lot, like you said itās active but the biggest bonus are the people in it!
@Butterflymoonwoman hope your mood will be better soon and otherwise fight it off at a punchball?
@Mali what a big step for you, but sounds like a good one. Hope your new job will give you all you need. Enjoy your last day at work and congrats for the months
Well done @CATMANCAM I love your list! I have a list myself filled with things and activaties to try when I have cravings. I called it my sober list. You went to war with your cravings and you won! Youāre a soberwarrior!
Well done @HappyDays
#Day 1606
Some good stuff is falling my way and Iām gratefull for that I can use it!
I had put myself on a waitinglist for a goldsmith class. Just for fun not to get another job.
Yesterday I got a phonecall that I can start tonight! A bit anxious for meeting new people, places and learning something I never did, but going anyway
Also decided to go for a holiday with a friend of mine in may. Going to Spain by bus and hope to get some sun in my face.
I hope I can keep my cool tonight. When Iām nervous I start to overcompensate it with acting strong and a bit arrogant
I do not want to be like that tonight.
Have a good day TS people, we all try new stuff right now. Learning to live clean and sober is one of them.
Letās fly together!
You are almost to double digits!
Itās great to see you take your recovery to a higher level. And itās encouraging to see your check-inās
Youāve learned so much over the years and we all know how hard youāve been working.
And I have a feeling that, this year, youāre going to see some of that hard work pay off.
Checking in. Day 125
Day 132
The gums are better Unfortunately my head is on fire since yesterday, thank you hormonal rollercoaster. I told my boss that Iāll stay at home today, I wonāt drag myself through the day like I did yesterday.
I know this pisses off some ppl at work but thatās not my problem any more. I learned that my health comes first, not the job.
Iām still laying in bed Going to get up now and buy some nice stuff for making oat skyr buns As you maybe heared they started to put bugs into our food in the whole EU.
They said that it has to be written on the packaging with the other ingredients but I know how sneaky our food industry is. I try to make as much as I can now from scratch.
I also have sesame banana cookies or something similar with dark chocolate on my mind for the sweet tooth. Weāll see, Iāll need much more time to prepare food now. But itāll be okay.
Have a beautiful sober day friends and stay strong
That sucks. There are some messed up and angry people out there this guy based on his actions seems like he is a bit jealous or threatened by you. You are handling the situation perfectly in my opinion. Congrats on another day free from alcohol!
Day 34. OMG I finally slept better so woke up feeling like a real person today! This is the first time in forever Iāve actually felt good in the morning. It feels so weird! I had a good evening last night. I opened up more to both my sisters. Something Iāve been scared to do. But they were very supportive. And reminded me we have a family history. Im looking forward to group today and having something positive to share instead of bursting into tears. One day at a time. Progress not perfection.
Welcome to this forum GenG!
Day 255. Doing well, heading home this afternoon for a weekend pass with my girls. Little bit of drama at the house, one of the guys who has some bad mental health problems told the counselors I was smoking pot, and that I went to a store with him and said I could have anything I want in here and stole some batteries. Iāve never even hung out with this guy so I was baffled and my counselors no me pretty well and no me better than that. I just passed a piss test a couple days ago lol. Pot was never my drug of choice I hated it. Took a tabe test for my phlebotomy classes and passed with flying colors. But I canāt take the classes because they fall the same days as my recovery coach classes and to me those are my important. Anyways all is well, proud of all of you I see a couple of you coming up on your one years. Youāre all doing great much love
So good to hear you are feeling better. Progressively your posts have been sounding better and itās good to see. Well done x
Hey all, checking in on day 971. I hope everybody has a good one!
Congratulations to your first sober day!
Iām sorry to hear, that you always have problems with visits from your parents.
Donāt sacrifice your health and achievements, just because of this fucked up relationship.
I heard he acts similar with others too. But I never take those small talks of others talking about others for granted. I dont like to judge. I tried to talk with him before. He said he grown up in a farmer family. Always worked hard since young age. He is always like 1 hour at work before work starts. Likes to do everything 100% and also likes to teach other and show them their mistakes. Well he is a good worker, thatās good thing.
Actually I feel like I am already forget about it and forgived.
Better to talk about myself. What I noticed, if I would be drinking lately, I think that would ended differently. Indeed, I think that would still be in my head and I would be angry and would need a drink after work - because / well / You know / because of āstressā andā¦ everything
Starting to notice positive mental changes already. Drinking every weekend or letās be hones every second or third day creates so much errors in our system we cannot function 100% and itās just getting worse and worse while creating the illusions that the problems and all the triggers is somewhere outside.
I will never, ever enter a travel bus in my life again!
I had to drive to Corsica from northern Germany by freaking bus. Never, ever again.
