Iām the same with not wanting juice or soda with meals and I like the alcohol free pils from Lidl myself. Many people find alcohol free beers a trigger, and I avoided them in the first few months just to break the habit.

Day 35 alcohol free and day 10 smoke free. Still quite tired from the no smoking, but all good. The no drinking is going great. Have zero desire and Iām glad Iām over the 30 days which a therapist had said was a good stage to get to (to break a habit.). Iām proud of myself as I cannot remember the last time Iāve not either been drinking OR smoking. Itās really exciting (which sounds bizarre!). Hope everyone is having a lovely long weekend if you have one where you are. Onwards and upwards š©¶

Weāre having an early Easter dinner tomorrow evening with some friends. This will be my second recent social gathering not drinking (not counting the many years I spent sober, so I know itās not a big deal for me). Iām pretty sure one person coming doesnāt drink at all but does enjoy some herb. I just prepared the meal to marinateā¦ normally that would involve mandatory wineā¦not this time 
Hope everyone is feeling at peace. Much love.

Day 40 AF
Today I am feeling proud. I watched a show last night and there was a character who was 70 days sober and him talking about his struggles and accomplishments really hit home with me. We can be given all the tools and information to become/remain sober, but ultimately it depends on US. Our willpower, our determination, our dreams, our strengths.
Peace to you all.

Checking in on day 1. Feeling scared, but also tired of waking up feeling like crap when I drink. And tired of how much time and thought I put into analyzing whether or not I have a problem with alcohol even on the days when Iām not drinking it and not even in the mood for it. So letās try something different.

Iām excited about this:
Iām treating myself to a pedicure tomorrow. Itās been a long road to get here with countless day 1s. Things finally clicked this year. Iām still struggling with depression, but my anxiety is better. And a lot less shame and self-loathing.
Itās all about remembering that what ever the problem is, drinking will just make things worse.
Thanks for supporting me on this journey.

Welcome 
. I remember those times. Just accepting I have a problem and then doing something about it was much easier than wrestling with if I have a problem or not.
@KarenKW Congratulations!

Checking in with 38 days AF. Our day started with a call from my husbandās aunt to let him know his uncle passed away. He was 84, and had throat cancer, so not shocking. What was a bit odd was Aunty asked my husband to write the obit. She has 2 grown capable children. My husband has only met his uncle maybe 6-8 times in his life. Of course he did it, he is wonderful with that stuff. But just kinda set our day a bit crooked. Got our last (shortened) ski day in, and we leave my happy place tomorrow. Always easy to stay AF (for me) on the road. Just hoping my mind can turn off a bit for a decent night sleep.
OK, take care all!
