Thanks for saying that. I realized I am the same. I hate waking up even when things are going well.

Checking in with 55 days AF. Feeling somewhat uninspired with life today. But hey, we all have days. I did grudgingly go to early morning spin class and I did do some golfing. So at least my lack of inspiration didnât leave me on the couch. Or with a drink.
Take care all!

Day 24. An OK day. Not bad and not amazing. Still going to bed sober, so it feels like a win at least.

itâs not a contest for whoâs stronger. everybody has their low points. everybody has days where they want to slip back into their old ways. but you are aware of how bad that is and that shows you deep down want to remain sober. of course thereâs urges but at this point in your sobriety you know exactly where giving into those urges leads. one day at a time.
youâre a good person, always building people up, including myself. i know youâre struggling, I hope that this community can provide to you what youâve provided all of us

I donât think anyone is stronger than you. It sounds like you have a hell of a lot on your plate, and that is affecting you physically and mentally.
If you feel things are slipping away, well, at least you noticed in time to do something. It sounds like so much is going on you wonât have a perfect easy life tomorrow, but what small changes can you make to improve things?
If you are eating lots of junk food, that will surely affect ibs and energy. What things could you do to make work more bearable? I struggle with letting things go too, I am trying to read positive affirmations daily to get into a forgiving frame of mind.
I am at least glad you reached out. Life can be tough, but it doesnât have to be tough and lonely.

Have as good a days as you can friends. Sober and clean. Love.
Glad I have to a day off after a very busy Monday at work, trying to get back in the flow. Thereâs a lot of stuff to think of, a lot of routines to follow that already after 2.5 weeks away arenât automatic no more. I donât think I made any major mistakes or forgot anything big. I could never do this job when I was using. Never again. X
@Misokatsu Nice one Flo
@Catmama23 Recovery at times is slow, tedious, hard work. One thing recovery is not is linear. It still feels like 4 steps forward, 3 steps back for me. Frequently. Iâm just 100% sure going back to my old ways would only make stuff worse. So much so. Never again. Hang in there and hang with us friend. Youâre as strong as we all are. Thatâs because weâre in it together

Had a boring day yesterday. My own fault ofcourse. Sat at the couch doing nothing but surf on my phone 
A waiste of time.
Today? Work and tonight a dinner with friends. Decided to walk to that appointment, itâs a 3,75 miles walk (6 km).
Have a good day all!

Hi everyone.
Im curious for those 1 year or more sober, how do you go with sobriety and being with someone who drinks alcohol, or do you only have relationships with those who are sober?

No, we are not âstrongerâ than you. This is all part of it and its brutalâŠkeep processing it all, keep moving forward, youre trying so hard. It took me 4 months to feel any better, i felt worse, my skin went to shit, my sleep was shit, i had anxiety, i cried endlessly. But i kept processing all the stuff i had repressed over the years. If youve used alcohol whenever youre stressed, hurt, grieving, angry, etcâŠyou now arent using alcohol to deal with those emotions, so you have to find a new way. Those emotions will still come, they dont disappear when we quit. Everyone has different ways and they evolve through the journey. Honour yourself, reach out like you have been, share your feelings, find gratitude in as many things as you can, remain humbleâŠyouve got this!

Day 13
Checking in to be sober today from:
- alcohol
- toxic relationships
- eating drama
I am sober. I got some more power and the covid test is negative again. Had a walk and some grocery shopping. All goes easyâŠ
I am still afraid to relaps!
Atm i have no cravings at all and am very happy that my body is slowly getting back to normal fitness after this shitty virus.
Much love

I think it would be great to maybe start a thread on this? as Iâm also interested in hearing peopleâs experiences. Itâs one thing to naviagte a pre existing relationship when you become sober, entering a new relationship once already sober has its own challenges and learning curvesâŠ

I was thinking that tooâŠas far as I know the existing threads on partners who drink (whether moderately or not) involve getting sober in a relationship where current partner still drinks. And there is a lot out there on that topic that could still be helpful but itâs a bit different than dating/meeting people, huh.
