Checking in sober.
Have a doctors appt this morning and got cleared as being 10 years cancer free! Whoop whoop! Thatās such a relief. And allergies arenāt quite as bad today so feel almost human. Still havenāt heard back about the job. Trying to be patient. I really am enjoying the quiet of having my place back to myself. Except for the cats thinking it was time for WWE when I wanted to sleep last night.
Take care of yourselves.

Late afternoon check-in. No cravings. No depression. No c-ptsd. No weed. No opiates. No worries! Glad you feel almost human Karen. Sometimes Alobar decides Iām a trampoline when Iām asleep. No WWE though the two square off occasionally. Hope the rest of your day is blessed friend

Tomorrow morning marks 119 days since I fell out of love with alcohol. Thatās 17 weeks. I canāt say that Iāve managed 119 days completely sober, but I can say that Ive consumed less alcohol in 17 weeks in total than I would have in any normal week before then. I can also say that the amplitude of my drinking wave has come down massively.
The first time I fell off the wagon after 24 days of fighting the cravings and because I felt I had nothing to lose having spoiled my streak I decided to get wasted. Iāve managed streaks of 3-4 weeksā sober since then but each time Iāve fallen of, Iāve gotten straight back up. Most recently, 3 weeks ago, I just had one then stopped and that was that.
Iāve been doing a lot of reading on the subject and can really feel the mental change in me. I feel now that alcohol is a poison and I prefer my life mostly without it. Perhaps even entirely. Itās not something Iām having to fight as aggressively, itās becoming easier.
Perhaps this story isnāt as inspiring as all those on here who have wondeful long sober counts, but for me the change in the way I think and feel about alcohol is the best thing I could ever have hoped to achieve when I joined here. Still taking ODAAT.

@nastya_is_fighting I am glad that the party ended up going well for you. Congrats on you completing school and here is to new chapter in your life!
@jesile WOW ā yeah to day 3 and looks like your body is already adapting to healthy living habits. Donāt worry about the food bit you are keeping active and its best not to attack everything all at once. At the beginning your focus should be on your sobriety. Protect this at all costs. I use blackout curtains which really help when I need to sleep during the day and itās light out (a life savor for days with migraines).
@catmancam congrats on getting your form and posted it yesterday! Best luck with getting to both your courses tomorrow.
@alycia Glad to hear that your counselling session was so great.
@james83 congrats on your 119 days of reduced alcohol use ā¦ you know that you want to be done with this and hopefully you can figure out what causes you to slip every 3-4 weeks and address this situation / feeling. Have you or are you working with a sponsor / therapist? Referring to alcohol as a poison is an excellent step mentally to becoming addiction free ā realize you donāt want to harm yourself with slowly poisoning yourself. Keep working on yourself and wishing you the best of luck in kicking this bad habit for good.
Checking in Tuesday evening
188 weed and alcohol free

Have as good a day as you all can friends. Sober and clean. Love.
Cool and rainy outside, I caught up on some sleep. Happy about that. Ready for another day at the office. Going to meet some colleagues who are also in recovery later today. Maybe find some inspiration how to bring some more of that into my work. Looking forward to it. X

I donāt know you, and you donāt know me, but I need to tell you how proud I am of you! Youāre doing absolutely fucking amazing. 9 months of sobriety from alchohol, fighting your mental health issues and winning and getting ready to attend the school you fought so hard to get in!
You, my friend, are killing it. If you can do all of this at this age , just think of all the wonderful things youāll do in your future.

Day five hundred and seventy odd. whatever it is I honestly donāt care
Having Aspergerās syndrome makes socialising or communicating (even on line) uncomfortable. Solitude is where I am happiest so for that reason Iām out!
Not gonna bother saying whatās wrong because nobody really cares. I posted when I needed support and got nothing so I removed the post. Now Iām removing myself.

I am sorry you didnāt get the support you were hoping for. Itās sometimes such a busy place here that it can get ālostā unseen quickly. This doesnāt mean the community doesnāt care. We are here for each other.
Congratulations on your days of sobriety. We will be here if you ever change your mind.
