Day 29, lots of appointments and things but going well, just need to stay strong and resilient, have a great start to the week
Amazing! Youāre doing so well living life on lifeās terms, sober. I am so happy for you! Hope you feel proud.
First I want to say happy birthday to @mno and @TMAC I think I missed them!! Congratulations dudes you have been an inspiration to me ever since I first joined! Thank you for still being here!!!
Day 1.095 clean and sober today. First day of vacation and I will be heading out in a few hours to spend 3 days in the mountains of Idyllwild YAY!!! I hope everyone has an amazing day today, love you guys!
Congratulations on reaching 1,000 days!!! I have missed seeing you around and reading your insightful posts. I hope youāre doing great.
Wow congratulations on 1000 days!!! This is a big deal way to go!
Ugh totally exhausted
I got out of work at 10pm
Made it back here at 9:30 then starting at 10am
Today is going to be tough I think
Iām just going to take it slow and do what I need to do
If I smoked weed still and if I did it this morning, the anxiety would be so bad. I can totally imagine what Iād be feeling right now. Iād feel so out of place. I have a bit of anxiety and my belly is pretty crazy. I aināt giving up
Take care everyone
Good to see you WCan. Even better to see you sharing such an awesome milestone. Huge congrats!
Day 254
Another hot day in Germany
Going to walk some km today again. Not as many as I usually would because itās hot AND I wanna try my kettlebell later.
Work was okay, one coworker is on vacation and another one, the one who already quit and has her last week this week, behaves like nothing bothers her any more. That shows the true character of someone and my intuition I had about her was right, again.
I wonāt cook, itās too hot. Going to order something delicious today Donāt know what yet, but there will definitely be a dessert after. A restaurant I often order from does a fantastic tiramisu without alcohol.
Iām still chatting with Nik. It might not become something romantic but he still is a good guy and we like each other. So we both won a friend, worth a lot these days.
Thatās it for now, have a beautiful sober day friends and stay strong
Edit: kettlebell hahahahaā¦nope. Too hot.
Second check in.
First day in another class was super fun! I a lot enjoyed it. This class makes me feel better honestly.
After school I met my boyfriend and we went to one shop with tayakisā¦ it tasted a lot good!! Matcha ice cream is SOOO FUCKING good, I swear! (is anyone here who loves matcha as well?)
Day 19. Just trying to keep it basic, stop saying and start doing. I still am pretty confused but one day at a time.
Checking in
Day 484
Day has been good! Really busy though. I got phone calls done that needed to get done. Did a big grocery shop. Worked out and have stayed focused (so far) on healthy eating today. I started the Couch to 5k program and managed to get thru the first day. Yay! Things are good overall. No complaints here. Going to work on my cupcake toppers now and get another set of 6 done (i need 48 of them and i only have 24 done so far). Other than that, i am just waiting for my son to get home from school.
Hope everyone is doing okay today. ODAAT
Checking in sober. Should be working but canāt focus. After a couple days of feeling a bit better, the depression hit hard again starting yesterday. Iāve already been out for a walk today and trying to take of myself. Trying not to get caught in the negative thought spirals. But I keep thinking I should feel better. I know, āshouldā statements arenāt helpful. I feel what I feel. It just sucks.
Day 267 AF
267 was my old hood, first numbers of phone number .
The days before addiction issues.
Still here, still AF. Just on the way to site for anothet day on the grind, man life and work is so much better not being hing over most days if not everyday!
Thanks to all of TS for helping me maintain.
@WCan congrats on quadruple digits
@JazzyS thank you friend š©µ
1036 days no alcohol.
501 days no cocaine.
16 days no vape.
14 days no binge-eating.
Today has been peaceful. I did my usual things, and also went to the opticians to get my new glasses and sunglasses adjusted as they were cutting into my ear and itās very sore, I had to wait a long time as they were very busy, so being around all those people with my social anxiety was exhausting, Iām glad to be home now.m, and my glasses do feel like they are fitting me better, so it Wass worth it atleast.
Tomorrow I have a short meeting with a company that holds social events for neurodiverse people, to help people make connections, friendships, and romantic if desired, and supports those connections by arranging supervised 1:1 meet ups. Giving it a try!

Checking in day8
Good evening family hope everyone had a great day and is feeling good
Monday is day off from work and had a unusually productive Monday usually I would take Monday to be depressed of my head after the piss up Iād be having having the weekend well not today.
Got up just after 9am tidyied the bedroom cleaned the house downstairs and started dinner prep to shock the Mrs when she got home
I then got ready and went to see my grandmother and we went over to the graveyard to tidy up my grandfatherās grave. After this we went for some lunch before I took her home.
I then came home cleaned the car inside and outside then cooked the dinner for believe it or not the first time ever to suprise the Mrs. I listened to some music for 20 mins after dinner and then another chapters of my book and I am just going heading to bed now to watch a bit of telly and relaxā¦
Overall iam felling great today head is really clear have a lot of energy and just feeling really positive about life right now
Day 149.
Second update. The day actually went well, everyone had a nice time on the hike and I managed to steal some time away chatting with my mom. Iām making a point of avoiding them in the evenings, drunken night time chats are not my cup of tea these days. Chamomile with lemon and honey is.
I was also wrong in assuming my mom told them about my recovery. She didnāt and I was offered booze at the table today. A few times. It was fine tho, I was more than comfortable saying āno, thank youā and made sure I had my nice flavored sparky waters in front of me at all times.
Iām also a lot less triggered. Like I finally settled into having them around, and I found a good new morning routine with a kick-ass meditation spot.
Tomorrow I actually have a full day with no work on, so Iām gonna head to the beach. Itās gonna be me, my new book and a few cans of San Pelegrino.
My check in
I have 21 years sober from alcohol
Iāve reached 7 days free from outbursts
Thatās my new work
Today
6 days AF. Today I focused on doing the next right thing and gratitude. Iām grateful my work calls went well. I hit a wall and let go of all the things I was supposed to get done - itās ok. It will get figured out. Not going to push myself. Texted a fellow alcoholic and read more of āThis Naked Mindā. This book promises big things - it will cure my addiction, for example. Weāll seeā¦ (!)ā¦I do appreciate the influx of info and examples to help undo my subconscious conditioning.
This time last week I had just started my binge (12 shots of vodka). Not today. Not ever again. Iām grateful to be given new chances but Iām not gonna keep testing how many are left. Peace
