Day 215
To all my fellow nerds: may the 4th be with you 
I’m feeling stable in my sobriety, even tho my sleeping pattern still is a pain. Yesterday I forgot time. I’m trying to wind down by sunset and get my butt into bed maybe 1 hour after it set. But yesterday I was in a creative flow and yeah…oops.
Didn’t sleep enough but still slept well. Missed some trains this morning thanks to that plus there’s a Strike again. It’s in Cologne, a city nearby, but that still affects everything here in Bonn too.
I’m almost at work now 
We’ll see what this day brings.
Have a beautiful sober day friends, stay strong

Had a nice day yesterday. Laying by the pool in the morning and visiting a village by train afterwards.
Burned a candle for my mother in a little church. Had to buy my candle from a machine (see picture). Never have seen such a thing!
Today? Visiting a little town by boat.
Totaly in the holiday relax mode
Have a good day all

OK so off for a 3 day adults only weekend full of music, parties and alcohol tommorow. Been very nervous about it and gutted I can’t drink. Brain has been telling me I can as its only for a few days… So what do you do when you want a drink after two and a half years bc it’s obvious you can stop whenever you want and I’m the one in control now… You listen to your own bullshit and then go to more meetings and listen to every other person that ever picked up a drink.
This is what I did this week and I didn’t hear one fairytale ending. They all ended up miserable and back in the room.
We are alcoholics, not weak, stupid or lacking in willpower, we suffer from an illness. An obsession of the mind and allergy of the body. If we give in to the obsession and take just one drink then the allergy begins and that allergy triggers the phenomenon of craving. So there is no one drink on Friday and a couple more on Saturday bc by Sunday someone is dragging me from the bar or off the floor. Months and years will go by before I ever have the spiritual shift to quit again, if ever. Death is also a harsh truth not a myth, we’re lucky we got this far.
That’s how you stay sober when you want to drink, remember who you were and where you came from. Now look at who you are.
Your still that addict / alcoholic but what version do you want to be?
I’ve made my choice.

I am glad you have thoroughly thought this through in preparation for your weekend. Hold the thought close and be proud of it. I hope that you will be able to embrace your sober self and have contentment and not resentment about your decision. If it all gets to be too much then you can take a time out or leave. Have fun…
Drinking does not make the party. The people do.

Wow thank you for that. I have a reunion coming up in August I am nervous about. This helps put it in perspective. After 361 days sober I started thinking maybe just this one time again. Everyone else will be drinking. Part of me doesn’t want to go because I am scared. Part of me says “you can do this”, part of me says “oh go have a good time and don’t worry about drinking a few, you can quit again after”. I know I can’t drink but I am driving myself crazy thinking about it again.

Your not alone. I’m having all the exact thoughts and feelings too but also like you I’m an alcoholic and our best thinking has only ever got us drunk. I’ve got phone numbers of people I can phone if I’m in trouble, I’ve done my meetings, I will be taking my big book and I will be telling my partner how hard this is for me.
So we go in prepared, if you are not with AA I would suggest getting the helpline number even if it’s took out of your phone after your event.
Apart from that Don’t believe the lies, we are not our thoughts we are our actions. If we did everything we ever thought we would all be in prison for murder. Listen to your soul.

Smart move to go to meetings and really solidify what being an alcoholic is. Hope you enjoy the weekend, manage to escape the annoyances that sometimes come when you are the sober one in a group of drunks.

Please don’t let this one newcomer turn you away from the community. She’s still struggling to get some footing, and probably has no idea what boundaries even are. And totally get the nighttime routine. It’s key for me as well, and hasn’t changed much since I got sober 2 years ago. I totally get that and applaud you for protecting your sobriety and well-being.

40 days no weed! 32 days of no bottom lines!
I need to learn how to slow down when doing things in life. I get anxiety doing simple tasks and it’s doing me no good. I’m not sure if I’m still in withdrawal from my qualifier…i ask the universe for strength to help with my anxiety and patience

Good morning! Just checking in still struggling to set a fixed routine but saying hi is a must. I love the pictures from different parts in Europe, the candles in a vending machine was odd but if it works it’s cool. Weekend is approaching so let’s get our minds right stay safe and smile we are still here so let’s make the most of it. (I say that while still laying in bed lol,)

Day 369, the goose drank wine, except no wine or any alcohol for me in that time.
I was feeling really shaky earlier and I ended up getting in touch with my GP although the earliest appointment is tomorrow. I took myself through some grounding exercises and when I felt a little calmer I took a walk, got some fresh air and took plenty of photos. I also bought some valerian extract to see if that would help.
I’m suddenly feeling very hungry so I’m going to get something to eat and then it’ll be time to collect my daughter from school.
I’ve just worked out that the last time I had proper child free time was June last year so I probably just need a spa weekend or something.
Can I just add, you guys are helping me stay sane today
