Checking in with (nearly) 67 days AF. And oh what a day it was! Got running water back to the house! Very nice that guys showed up at 5:30am to start digging trenches so when the plumber showed at 11:00am he could hit the ground running. Finished up by 5:00pm. Very expensive day, but I got to do laundry (such a thrill). Landscaping still required, but thatās just frill. So glad I donāt have to plan to shower at the gym tomorrow. It is SO the little things in life. Now for some SleepyTime tea 
Take care all!

It IS important to protect your sobriety by avoiding triggers, however, you could begin to change your wording to āmy theme for the summer is SOBER monochrome chic, Iām so excitedā
And get excited about that!
You are early in your sobriety, but you are studiousā¦ teach yourself to love the sober DJ and not want to give that up. You will be the cool one strutting your stuff and enjoying your life without the yuck baggage of alcohol. You will look even the more cool bc you are not slurring your words, stumbling your steps and you are just right on top of it. Hopefully you can get excited about it not having alcohol, other wise be careful and be aware xo
Did I miss you in your 60 outfit? I hope you had a good time!
Hope you will feel better and better and this is for you too, @JazzyS , sorry your days are so hard.
Argh @SoberWalker get well quickly, like today!!
@ everyone, good going on each day away from your drug, or behavior of choice!

Checking in 11 days clean. On my way back home from a hards day work, I started getting in my head about how I could have done things differently to have a better high or have a better night when I went out. Things are always going so good the first couple days then my brain turns back on or off and triggers start coming back.

Have as good a day as you all can friends. Sober and clean. Love.
Might try and sleep some more in a bit. Not rested yet. Iāll be OK anyway. One more late shift today, off tomorrow. One day at a time as always.
Pic is from my commute yesterday.

This comment is so helpful!!!
You are so right, I am stucking in my comfort zone and doing mostly just the things I love.
Itās a bit funny, that this doesnāt only fit for the sobriety journey, but also for other parts in my life!
I will add a new category āthe workā in my planning and figure out today what this will be exactly to me.
Thanks for this 360grad turnaround perspective. Eye-opener!
This post will for sure help others too!
Much love

Itās the addiction trying to jolt you into action, to make you get your fix. Acknowledge that this is what it is, then go to your sober toolbox. What do you normally do if youāre being triggered? You have to get yourself out of this mindset by proactively dealing with it.
Day 11 is fantastic, you just need to keep going. Get today done. Itās so much easier to keep going than to start again.
You got this Corey

I had to check to be sure which sober day Iām on, which is a good sign for me. I donāt care about alcohol, and Iām in defence mode again. Nothing is going to take my sobriety away from me. Day 15, 9.5hrs.
Have a happy sober day my friends

Glad to hear you got sth out of it. Hereās some stuff worth combing through.
Resources for our recovery
Recovery Elevator and The Recovering by Leslie Jamieson were my favs.
The No1 thing that allowed me to turn my inner and outer life around is being in psychoanalysis. Iāve been with my therapist from day one of my recovery but it took months to get with her. One could say that I (without knowing it then, unconsciously) took steps to get sober months before I actually did. I feel Iād perhaps be dead now without my therapy.
I personally also think youād benefit from an accountability buddy. Someone to text or phone when you have cravings.
Best of luck. Will be seeing you here.

Thank you so for reaching out.
Iv been as bit depressed the past few days and isolating myself unintentionally.
Iām going to get up, do my routine of tidy, cook pop to the shops then Iāll be on here to catch up.
Last night I was missing being here but was very tired.
Thank you for thinking of me that makes me smile
