Checking in day 5.
Yesterday was a hard day. My relaspe last week after 8 months clean is catching up to me. Things are happening at work, job is on the line, single mom, i cant have this. But then on my way home last i truly put things into perspective for myself…yes my life has become unmanagable, yes some of these guildlines i know have to follow at work remove me (the supervisor) from spending time with my coworkers (the drinkers) outside of work. I know I’ll make my way through the discipline at work, and i told myself on the way, this was God. He did this for you. He’s showing you that to fix things, as hard as it may be, people have to be removed from your life. You have to be selfish and take care of you and your environment. By the time I got home I was grateful. Grateful for the day. Grateful for God. Grateful for another day of sobriety.

Checking in day 213, and officially 
months sober! Passover dinner tonight, but my family knows I’m not drinking so that should be fine. Going to try to get back to the gym beforehand- been having bad allergies/possibly sick which has kept me away for too long.
Hoping you all have a wonderful sober Wednesday

Speaking about motivation… look to this guy from my city who is trying to beat world record, it’s been 100 days he is rowing with small boat through Atlantic Ocean all alone, with no help, no one around… Everyone here really hoping him to reach his goal all safe…

My bestie just told me that I haven’t been there for her lately. It makes me sad but I don’t know what to do about it. I’ve been sober like ten months and now I have crippling anxiety. I don’t really go out socially anymore. I’m just not there yet. I’m sorry I can’t give her what she needs but idk what to do or say to make it better.
Did drinking make me an easier friend to have? Whatever, I’m still sober today. Just sad.

Thanks for the shoutout and good to see you are still riding!!!
I am doing great and hope you are as well.
In fact, I am rolling around to my 3-year sober milestone in May!!!
I am riding but gave up Strava and the whole “record every ride on social media” thing.
I have to say I am enjoying riding again 
Shoutout to all of the folks on ST that are working very hard for sobriety!!!

I heard somebody say earlier, that you absolutely have to be selfish if you’re trying to beat this thing. That’s not always the easiest thing to do, to put ourselves in front of people we care about. But you gotta do for you first, otherwise you’re not gonna be able to be there for them when you’re ready to.

Day 88. Feeling good about my sobriety. The dermatologist didn’t find anything to be concerned about so that’s a relief. (Family history of skin cancer.). New episodes of Ted Lasso and the Mandalorian. Trying to focus on the positives instead of all the other crap.

We get it. Its not easy. That first week is mental and sometimes physical torture. It gets better! Just do it one day at a time. We got you if you need to vent

Checking in day 339. Day 95+ healthier lifestyle. Ive been on a groupon kick for health. At first i tried ionic foot baths. Then cryotherapy. Now accupuncture. Its uncomfortable but why not try it?!
Closing in on one year may 1st and im greatful for others posts reminding me that meeting that milestone will just be another one day at a time. It helps not to have expectations and just enjoy the journey.
