Congratulations :tada::confetti_ball:
Happy to hear the good news, such a boss :sunglasses:

Itā€™s an intense game and I wholly recommend it. Feelings will arise but I left feeling good

Day 66. Survived work. Actually showered this morning. But the depression and fatigue continue. Slept horribly last night. And never quite recovered today. Iā€™m going to try to cook something for dinner. But not sure I have the energy.

Oh of course, silly me.
Sheā€™s a cutie :sparkling_heart:

Itā€™s gone midnight, so Iā€™m just gonna leave this here. Iā€™m sat here, with Married at First Sight in the background, feeling emotional as fuck. (And itā€™s got nothing to do with the trash tellyshow). Iā€™m fucking doing this sobriety thing. Iā€™m working at it. Hard. And itā€™s not easy, but Iā€™m here. This time last year I was heading towards a complete mental breakdown that escalated to the point of me almost being sectioned in an Eastern European mental hospital. It wasnā€™t just alchohol that caused it, but it certainly made things worse.

Fuck. I walked the fine line into hell and pulled myself back only to run back to the line so many more times, Iā€™m grateful to still be breathing. And now Iā€™m stable(ish) and sober. I never reached 60 consecutive days before. I didnā€™t think it was possible for me. But it is. And Iā€™m here.

Thank you all for all the support, encouragement, grace and patience youā€™ve showed me. I really do appreciate it, even if Iā€™m really crap at showing it.

And I know, 60 days is one drop in a big ocean. But itā€™s my drop and Iā€™ve worked hard to get it.

Love Married at First sight, I watch Australia, UK, and my own country has one too that just finishedā˜ŗļø
I am so happy for you. And so proud of you. And almost emotional that one of us is doing this. Like you said: you are doing this! (I keep saying that to myself all the time, I am doing this!) The thing that seemed impossible and out of control. You are a rockstar :fist:t4::bouquet::heart: Congratulations

On day 82 and am so proud of myself at this moment. Met a friend to catch up like we used to do monthly but havenā€™t seen him in 3 months. I would always drink heavily whenever we met up. I totally hung out today and stayed completely sober and only had a few flighty moments where i wanted something stronger but i want to see 90 days more :wink:
Had to share my excitement on this platform. Thanks to this community i am able to stay ahead of this addiction

I honestly have no idea what to do with myself without this job. I canā€™t focus on taking care of myself because Iā€™m incredibly depressed but Iā€™m so angry at myself for quitting Iā€™m too restless to enjoy any of my hobbies

Day 16 AF
Well what can I say about last night!!!
Cyndi Lauper age 69 still an amazing performer and Rod Stewart at 78 a sensational showman. Both class acts.
Wasnā€™t cheap, but definitely money well spent.

Have as good a day as you can all. Sober and clean. Love


The hint of spring was just that for now. Back to sleet and hail today. Iā€™ll survive. It does suck. But there are bigger problems in the world right. x
@Lola Yay you! Big congrats!
@Amy30 Very proud of you lady. Terrific work. Huge congrats.

I was thinking this app was messed up since my milestone was ā€œlateā€. Then I remembered the stupid time change :roll_eyes:
Good day today. Played golf, in a little drizzle, but I didnā€™t suck. Then I went to a new class at the gym that may become regular. Tired tonight, so hoping that means actual sleep!
Gā€™night, all!

Good evening/morning all. Nothing to report. Talked to my new payee this morning to get a budget worked out, did some cleaning, small nap.
Just finished a Stephen King movie (Cell) and currently waiting until Iā€™m tired enough to sleep. Iā€™ll check back in soon. Peace, fam! :v:
