Congratulations on your One Year Milestone @Sabrina80
You are so inspiring!
Glad you’re feeling better after the migraine.
Have a wonderful sober weekend.
Just hit 70 days. I’m Really struggling today. I have absolutely nothing going on and I’m bored outta my mind. I can’t stop thinking about maybe running out and and getting some wine but I really don’t want to relapse. Doing physical activity is outta the question right now since I’m recovering from a broken leg.
Checking in. Im sober. I really want to feel numb, not feel anything. I want to drink. Not really, but I dont want to feel.

Latenight checkin.
She’s back home
2481 days. I just purged my closet of things I haven’t worn for years, and feel super accomplished!! 35 pounds of clothes, emptied 41 hangers. Anything that no longer suits me is now gone! Such an exercise in self acceptance, purging things that are too unflattering, too small or too young and don’t suit the current ‘me’.
Evening check in, now 16 days alcohol free. Just recently got in from dinner out. I had a headache which was a shame, but did still enjoy it. I didn’t fancy wine except for a split second so really pleased with that. I have taken more painkillers so hoping my headache goes soon. It is basically bedtime so sleep will probably help.
This place is helping keep me on track so much, so thank you all for being here.
Thank you, Anne!
I am grateful that your toddler and dog are both on the mend – my goodness that was some extra stresses to deal with this week (i’m sure that they helped keep your mind focused elsewhere so maybe a blessing in disguise).
You don’t have to keep a lid on things when you feel frazzled. We are here for you to unload on if you need us.
yes - do not give them any space to fester. You are doing great!
Congrats on your 2 years of sobriety! You are amazing!!
@RosaCanDo can’t wait to celebrate you tomorrow
@sabrina80 Oh man love 1 year coming up — so damn close! I am grateful that you are feeling better and will wake up to a years accomplishment You wake up flexing those sober muscles!
@jasty2 so good to see you checking in. Happy to hear about all the efforts you are putting forth for your sobriety. You were missed and we are looking forward to seeing more of you in the near future
@try2change 70 days Woot Woot! Hey love – you are stronger than this addiction. Can you keep busy by doing puzzles, playing games on your phone, reading through threads here, log onto a on line meeting? Meditations can also be helpful. We are here for you my friend – keep strong.
@wakikki Oh my sweet friend – I am so very sorry! Drinking will not solve ANYTHING. I’m here and able to chat – on episode 3 of season 8 – where are you at with the series? You are not alone in this.
@kareness OOH I do love a good purge – its so healing for the mind and soul. I am glad you were able to do this and feel the accomplishment.
@jennyh Glad you were able to get out for dinner with your hubby – grateful that you didn’t really feel urged do drink (except for that split second). So sorry about the headache – I do hope you get a restful nights rest and wake up with no headache.
@lorelai how have you been doing? Miss seeing your posts.
You rigth, it will not solve anything, but I would not feel anything. And tomorrow I would have hated myself if I drank. So I just have to feel this feelings and hope I fall alsleep soon, hope for better tomorrow.
Look at you going on TWD. Im watching rigth now(as always ) Seson 9 episode 6. You will catch up with me soon
WOW - you are making good progress love… so glad that you watched the show and sat with your feelings… I saw that Daryl Dixon series started on Prime – Super excited to see it next. He’s my favorite character
I do totally get the urge to escape everything and just want to shut down but life has to be much better than this – it will be — we just have to keep pushing forward and working on ourselves.
Ohh I want to see the Daryl Dixon. I cant wait for the spin offs to come to Norway!
I am rewatching this series completely sober – I had not gotten to seasons 10/11 so i’m grateful to know that Daryl survived LOL – i would’ve been highly disappointed if they killed him off.
90 days today. Was hoping it will get easier, but due to circumstances beyond my control it was a difficult, emotionally draining day. Barely made it. Glad I did
I did the same, seen it sober. I could not remember lots of the story apperantly, being drunk…
So I will not say to much, dont want to spoil anything
Congrats on 90days. Milestones are tricky. I had to stop having expectations and found they were better. Whats troubling you @RRB
Personal relationship. Can’t be rectified or abandoned at the moment. Just have to live with it. It was much easier with some “chemical enhancement”. I’m doing better after NA meeting, ty for asking
