Day 99. Lazy day.
Great job twizzle!! 1200 is a whole lot of one day at a times. Very nice!
Lazy day for me too. Had higher hopesš
17 days without booze.
I just got a text from the job i applied to a few days ago and they made me a offer
Everything is coming up Milhouse.
Day 3 no weed
Day 163 no alcohol
Today was messy
I felt like everything was out of place
Iām happy to be in bed for the night sober
Goodnight everyone
Second check in of the day. The wind howls outside my window and I am happy to be cozy inside. I made a soup thing with miso for lunch and took the kids ice skating. It was a good day and I am grateful to be sober and present for it. Each moment as it comes. Hope everyone has a good start to the week.
Had a bad night of sleep here in Chengdu due to the humid weather and my AC being a douche but was productive by looking at jobsites as i have to spend 5 months back in the UK after July and planning my trip to Norfolk with my mum.
Last checkin for day 68. Going to bed.
Been a cold and rainy day today so stayed in the house. Played some guitar and did some reading.
Good day.
Everybody checking in helps keep me clean and coming back, thank you.
Hello all,
Checking in on Day 1,723 Sober.
God Bless!
Checking in with 47 days AF. Good follow-up day after my devastating (ok, exaggerating here) Cubs loss last night. Lovely brunch with friends who have remained close in our hearts even when far away on the planet. And now, onto conquering another week.
Take care all!
@Juli1 feel better soon š©µ oh nooo, just seen your today post that itās Covid, take care of yourself, sending well wishes š©µ
@Butterflymoonwoman thank you for your support, I wish I hadnāt have given in, but Iām trying again now. Iām so pleased about your day being so nice for your husbandās bday, you deserve it. š©µ
@Scorpn I hope today was better š©µ
@Twizzle you reminded me of the times when I woke up covered in cuts and bruises and not remembering how I got home, like you, my more recent but also a while ago now, drinking days, were spent at home, alone. Iām glad we are both safe and sober now. š©µ
@Dmcg1987 congrats on your week
@WakiÄ·ki sending strength š©µ
@Thirdmonkey Iām that age too! Congrats on 1850 days
@Catmama23 Iām sorry about the abusive text sending strength š©µ
@Cjp congrats on 350 days
@zzz congrats on your week
979 days no alcohol.
444 days no cocaine.
66 days no vape.
40 days no energy drinks.
Ashamed to admit I binged last night, and again tonight. Last night was crisps and mango, tonight was crisps, chocolate, and mango. Although I did enforce a boundary and went home when my family ordered Chinese for my step-brotherās birthday meal, so Iāve got that to be proud of, it has been 212 days since I had a takeaway, 7 whole months. I can only dream about one day being able to say the same about binge-eating.
I did my morning routine and my morning walk. Managed to shower thankfully, Iāve got the family gathering to thank for that.
I met my brother and my niece at the cemetery, before heading to my dadās, to take flowers down to the grave, for my mumās death anniversary, which is tomorrow, well today now as I fell asleep before posting this and it is now 4:40am. 27 years.
Come to think of it, that may be affecting me subconsciously, though I donāt want to use it as an excuse for binge-eating, itās more that Iām addicted to crisps and find it harder and harder to resist them, but, Iām trying again (again).

Hi sobriety fam,
Iāve got a day off, so today I will:
- Clean up
- Meditate
- Eat healthily
- Exercise
- Visit my bro
- Join martial arts
- Book bungee jumping
- Arrange a haircut
- Browse for a new home
- Learn spanish
- Reach out to an old friend
Something like that anyway, at least thatās the plan for now
I can, need to, want to and WILL fix and work on my life ODAAT! I still struggle with the effects of childhood trauma to this day. My life is split almost 50/50 between relapsing my life to shit to escape responsibility and hurt, and healing and making something amazing of my life. As if I have two sides. I will say Iāve come such a long, long way from my compulsive, subconscious and totally lost past selfā¦ Iāve seen some dark lows as a result of my addictions, and still they appear so harmless and innocent in craving form. Anyways, I know from experience that every moment countsā¦ And how confident and good I feel coupled with the maturity gained from sobriety is effing irreplaceableā¦ If something detrimentally impacts your life, be brave and take the time and effort to work through it! Thereās only one you with one life. One conscious me. Right here. Right now. One of my favorite and most impactful mottos is: life begins at the end your comfort zoneā¦
Much love fam, stay strong, safe and mindful!
Haha i like that, thank you

Have as good a day as you all can friends. Sober and clean. Love.
Visited KZ Sachsenhausen, where my granddad was a prisoner in the last year of WWII. Terribly dark and sad place. And then inside there are even darker places. Sigh. Man can be so beastly.
Letās keep working on being the best we can. Letās stay free of drugs and booze to begin with and take it from there. Much love.
#Day 1672
Yesterday morning when I walked home from a market I saw a man walking slowly as he has needles in his feet. He just peed in the bushes near the road.
I was wondering if he had some medical issues because of how insecure he walked.
He stumbled to a busstop and sat on the bench. There was a bike next to him with a pannier. When I walked by he took a bottle of wine out of it and starts to drinkā¦
I made a picture. Why? Because he made me sad about his situation. But also it was a reminder for myself that Iām doing good. I could be him.
We all could be him after making just 1 wrong decision.
We are all just one drink away from disaster.
Hi @Dazercat has those huge stacked up 1200 days
Iām hopefully on my way there not quite yet though mine is 564 days.
Your doing great yourself
Thank you for your words . We will need time to grieve, but we will get over it eventually. As our cat used to get weaker and weaker every day and finally didnāt move for hours I try to think that his time of efforts and pain is now over, that he is once again young and healthy and waiting for us on the other side of the rainbow bridge. I just hope that my father is also coping well with Knieselās death, as he is the one I am mostly worried about right now with all of his health issues. He and Kniesel used to start every day together. While they were having breakfast, he would lie in my fatherās lap. But weāll help and support one another, and it will get better in the end.
Checking in on day 8 hope everyone is well
