That’s awesome man!! What a great update. I’m happy you’re killin it
I woke up one morning about the 2 week mark feeling hungover af! I shot out of bed and ran frantically to the bar in our house to check liquor levels, trash can evidence and glasses(shot and highball) usage. I was freaking out. Nothing to be found. Husband said that I didnt drink. I believe that it was my subconscious telling me that I was on the right track toward sobriety.
Day 2013.
So happy I don’t have to struggle. So happy I found a program in AA that has given me all the tools to live this amazing life.
I wish everyone could have this amazing life but sometimes stubbornness wins out and people would rather be right than be happy. I’m sure there’s great programs other than AA but it’s the only one I know and I’m pretty damn glad I do. I could not imagine living in sober misery.
@sigurdurerik congrats on your 1 year!! Looking nice and relaxed !
@zzz what a lovely post to wake up to. Thank the higher power that you were able to survive your trauma and be able to emerge into someone who truly wants a secind chance at life. Hold onto your spirituality- tgese signs and coincidences are a way of the universe talking to us.
@FeelingBetter best of luck with your tests and mammogram.
@GenG those hormones can be a bitch and play mind games with your emotions. Good on you to resist and have that friendly reminder on hand
@Deelzebub sorry you are still experiencing issues with sleep. Would a hot soak in the tub before bed help any? Lovely writing - thanks for sharing
@Rockstar24777 so excited for you. Its hard to take that 1st step into starting a relationship especially in sobriety. Glad your date went well.
@Googie glad it was a phantom hangover - have had a few and the initial feeling is not pleasant but its such a relief knowing that you are sober
Am check in for me
Doing better today and have some energy. Ready to see what this beautiful day has in store for me. Have a fantastic day my lovely siber friends
Day 1. It’s been so long. Give me strength to give this another bash
Thank You. It is hard for me to talk about this, and trying to explain everything without putting tons of text trying to put everything in order without sounding like a lunatic or crazy is hard…
But I feel ready. I think there is no more point to hide or pretend something that I am not. If people don’t like that perhaps that’s the way.
And I really feel happy and love to meet people who understands or have axlot of experience in life to look at a bigger picture or are capable enough to accept different opinion without insulting other.
Thank You once more. That was hard post for me to make. It seems a little, but that’s about more than 15 years of my life and glued like this in a brick of text might sound akward or delusional misery and I feel happy for your response.
Welcome back …are you preoared with your tools to move forward? Are you planning to attend meetings, start journaling or create different habits to keep you sober?
Great to see day one complete- we are here for you. Stay strong and keep going
Sounds wonderfull! I’m glad you had some fun!
Thanks @JazzyS. It does help but last night my girl was taking an age to get to bed so I skipped it. I’ll be making sure that doesn’t happen again tonight as they’re back in school anyway. Thanks again.
Checking in on Day 449
Have a fantastic monday everyone ☆
A huge welcome back to you! Im glad ur giving this another try. You truly do deserve the happiness and freedom that sobriety can give
Second check in
I found some nice asian yummie things in my EDEKA, going to show you later what I cook with it.
On my way home I saw this and I had to share.
It can’t rain all the time
Give it 2-3 more weeks and it’ll be a Jungle here full of insects, birds and whatever else I don’t see
I can tell from your posts that youve been through a lot. Glad to see that you have pulled yourself up from all that and are actively working on a healthier future. So thrilled for you.
Dont ever feel like you will be preceived as crazy or delusional here. You are among friends and im sure some may have similar trauma. Part of our healing is letting out whats been traumatic to us and dealing with the associated feelings.
Yes, me. Not the same as him but I forgot most of my childhood because of my parents and what they did.
I also have crazy coincidences, dreams that later come out as true, angel numbers, the whole package.
25 days no marijuana
6months 4days no alcohol
It is truly a blessing to wake up sober
Wouldn’t want to trade it for anything
Packing today hopefully out of here tonight
Thank you @JazzyS @CATMANCAM @PinkyP and everyone else that wished me luck and reached out regarding the wedding song. It went well and I am thankful for that!
Today is 90 days sober! I am blessed and so thankful for this community.
Hope you’re feeling better, @SoberWalker ! Cool pic!
90 Days @CueBall8n9 ?!?! Glorious!!! Congratulations, Sober Friend! So grateful to be here with you!
I am so sorry that you had to endure such trauma in your childhood. Being at the hands of your parents is even more heartbreaking. Our parents /family are meant to love and protect us. You have really grown into a strong beautiful woman despite of your past. I want you to know that sometimes our family is who we choose to be in our lives and we here are all there for you - your TS family.
Thank you for sharing i do believe in the healing energy around us and that the universe (our higher power) whatever you believe in finds ways to talk to us and lets us know we are not alone.
Congrats on your 90 days sober CB
Great job
