You are very right here. I do have desire and energy to do so. I need to overcome and go above that darkness. I do have met few people in my life that are so proud of their sobriety in my country and they are so inspiring. Something different! True! Free! I really want to reach that freedom myself and the idea that you are like a virus to this old corrupt system, breaking it down from within, it gives goosebumps and something to be worth seeking

Day 93. Strong in my sobriety, but struggling with everything else. The problem with springtime is remembering that most of my depression is not seasonal. But I do appreciate the sunshine and things turning green.

I can relate to your post 100%. When winter had mostly passed and spring was appearing I sank even lower due to expectations I had that the depressive mood I was feeling would just go away on its own. Boy, was I wrong. I had to reevaluate what I was doing to address my mood on a daily basis regardless of weather impacts. It was a real lesson for me. Thanks for sharing.

I’m rooting for you. This can be your last day 1 if you want it to be. Sobriety delivers what drinking (and drugs) promise.

Day 191
Easter holiday is over, sadly 
But only a 4-day-week ahead so yay 
I wasn’t really often here, I was in my mind a lot. Working. No overthinking, but working.
And today something happened, let’s call it “I found my spark again”, I don’t know how to explain this better 
A good feeling, but I’m not sure if I can trust this yet. We’ll see.
Almost 12pm and I have to get up at 5:30, so I better put that phone away and sleep 
Have a beautiful sober day friends, stay strong

Day 973
Had a rough few days mentally. Was nearly in tears at work on Friday, the imposter syndrome was just too strong, then was just so down and irritable at the weekend. I felt like I was moving through treacle or tar or something, every movement felt like such an effort. My daughter wanted attention and I tried but I couldn’t, and she just kept insisting that I practise dance with her and I snapped at her to leave me alone. I still feel bad about it though I apologised and apologised.
But yesterday was my first day of consecutive classes for 6 hours, I thought it would totally exhaust me but I actually got energy from the students, they laughed at a few of my jokes, and I felt more like I did have a purpose, I am ok at what I do.
The contrast is just so crazy in my moods. It makes me feel like the lows are fake because a day or two later they vanish.

Yep that’s what I’ve been doing for 2 and a half years 
I’ve finally decided to drink more water and do a bit of swimming. Our first priority is our sobriety everything else will happen in time. Well done

Day 204
Went to bed early last night yet did not sleep till the early hours of this morning been feeling really good after being sick the last few days too, was excited to be going back to work routine.
Just going to get through the day and early dinner bed and try for a good sleep again tonight.
Made some pretty heavy life decisions for bettering myself again and relationship with my wife so excited to continue to move onward and upward.
Back on a positive vibe at the moment.
@zzz homie good things take time, i also live in country that has the same attitude to drinking, but you gotta do whats right for you and learn to not care about others reactions in saying that it took me a long time to learn also, keep your chin up!

You’ve not let 1 person down on here, we all have our own journey and mine was just like yours until the day it wasn’t. I kept coming back no matter what and added a few other tools like meetings, sponsors and other self help stuff instead of self pity stuff 
one day it just clicks. It has to or we die.

Day 8
Last night was a struggle. Today was better went to work feeling good. Tonight at home just keeping myself busy yard work garage cleaning so on. I’m sure it’s different for everyone but how long did you have to keep yourself so busy that you don’t drink? I feel like if I’m doing nothing I want to drink.
