Morning check in Day 73.
Up early this morning at 4:30am. Raised the windows and listened to the birds and wildlife sing in the dark.
Prayed for my family and thankful for another opportunity to live a day sober.
Very thankful for all of you and your transparency!
Have a great Friday!

Day 202 alcohol free
Day 10 social media free
I’m on my way home in a packed train. I have a headache today, feels like a migraine. Mild but still very painful.
I left work 1 hour earlier, I fought like a lion haha. Pushed through, but 20 minutes ago I decided “nope, I need sleep”.
No cravings today, on this side I’m feeling awesome 
After resting I’ll order dinner from my fav restaurant in town 
Looking forward to that.
Have a beautiful sober day friends, stay strong

So moving into Weeeeeeekend! 
My favorite joke down here.
New Boss comes in. Says:
"Listen, from today it will be like this.
Monday - We are chilling after weekend.
Tuesday - We are preparing to work.
WEDNESDAY - We WORKING!
Thursday - Chilling after works.
Friday - Preparing for weekend.
Any questions?"
…Silence…
One hand shows in the back. " Yes you? "
- So the f*** how long we gonna work our as**s on Wednesdays like this??!!!??
I like this joke so much. I barely work one day per week

@Binx you definitely don’t need to have long time sobriety to be here! I have 59 days sober and have been posting here almost since day 1. It has been a huge help to me, I’d say my biggest tool in my recovery toolbox. Everyone has hardships, some folks are going through things we may have not personally encountered but we can all relate to the feeling of wanting to use and the shame that comes from it. I’m glad you’re here 
there are also some great threads here for tips on early sobriety - I’ve learned a lot of good coping mechanisms, quit lit, I’ve come here to bitch about my life and just get it out, the folks here understand. Keep going one day at a time!

@Hesmyportion ive been using headspace. I think it’s a good app for beginners. They have mediations ranging from long to short, guided to unguided, as well as short videos and music playlists (even workout routines). A lot of folks on this app have mentioned Insight Timer as well.

Im glad ur here 
doesnt matter how much time we all have or what our DOCs are, we are all trying to better ourselves and stay on a path of recovery.
And please dont feel like a fraud. Ur always welcome here I think for my very first year or so being on this forum i was relapsing at least every 3 days. We are all welcome no matter what our clean time is or what our stories are about. Stress was a BIG BIG trigger for me to use too. At the time i struggled to manage my emotions. Any emotion that was intense was unmanageable for me and i didnt know how to cope with my past trauma or daily living. Things are very different now but i think stress is quite a common one for many of us.
Im proud of u for being on day 5! Stay close to the forum and reach out anytime. U CAN get past ur hardest days. It does get easier. U just gotta get over that hump

59 days alcohol free. Thinking about a couple things.
Identity / Sense of self
Did/Has anyone in early sobriety experienced a loss or confusion of self? I’m struggling to enjoy the same things I did when I was drinking and I find myself bored and restless frequently. I know what I don’t like but not what I do. I know my job is toxic, but do I even like what I do? How did you work through this?
Vigilance
Two days ago somewhat out of the blue my addict voice came at me hard. You can just drink one more time, she said. If you do it secretly no one will know, she said. Everything’s hopeless and shitty so just give up, she said. It was wild. I clung to the foundation I’ve built and reached into my toolbox but I was shocked at how persuasive the voice was. I’m curious, does this voice get weaker over time? Or can this still happen in longtime sobriety?
Thanks all wishing you a sober day

Good job on the vigilance…and your 59 days.
