Day 1001,
back from the soccer match. Great play and atmosphere, still not beaten this year. Looks promising so far after years of not so briljant play. Good night

beautifully put ā our compass is what keeps us on the right path ā you are close to your double digit milestone my friend ā keep fighting that fight!
@sara.eve It is super hard to quit smoking. I know when drinking is all around its something that you see but with smoking you smell it and it can be intoxicating when you first want to quit. Now for me the smell makes me sick. I do hope you are able to stay strong tonight and just enjoy the hell out of the concert - we are right in your pocket if you need us.
@sadmemequeen The Bingo hall is very loud - smart plan on noise cancelling headphones. I just hope you had a great time with your grandpa
Ah man - it does get easier ā just hang tough. Just keep your head up and keep showing up for yourself.
SO lovely - i started the day chatting with a dear friend this morning and made me miss my sister and lo and behold my sis came to town for a belly dance performance and i got to spend a few hours with her. The universe if fucking crazy. I then spent like 1/2 hour trying to get the right beers for the drinkers tonight and it did not phase me at all. All i kept thinking about was how excited I am to do a sober game nightā¦ This is the new me!

Hey John.
Congratulations on the 27 days 
Good to see you again.
Working a gratitude list on here for more than 3 years has totally retrained my brain. I got so much to be grateful for when Iām sober. I never start a day without it.
The lights are always on. Bring your own coffee

Hey darlinā¦ Iām okay; will have 3 weeks as of midnight tonight, woo hoo!! Healing going okay; i got my staples out and hard cast on. Another month with that. Then a boot, then PTā¦ then maybe walking again by Thanksgiving. Oy veyyyā¦ Plus this morning, my live-in bf finally made the exec decision that weāre breaking up and heās leaving (things have been rocky pretty much since he moved in 9 months ago) but is going to āstay to help me outā (ie doesnāt have enough money to move). So, the next couple of months are going to be JUST GREAT lol. But i wonāt be drinking through themā¦

Day 827 alcohol free. Down to six beads from the capsule on the antidepressant taper and I am still feeling the withdrawal effects. Mild brain zaps and such. I have been so irritable and on edge lately. What is wrong with me. I really hope I can sort this out.

I am sorry Drew. Are you able to talk with your doctor about this? Maybe you are not ready for this dosage at the moment. Medications and side effects can be tricky - be gentle with yourself ā absolutely nothing wrong with youā¦just need a little help regulating neurons. 
827 days of sobriety is fantastic!

**Day 1824 
Going to get packed for holiday.
Had a customer yesterday who was asking the definition of my sober tattoo. I have the Latin name of a special flower on my arm.
The Dutch name of a flower also represent a group of people who exist ages ago in the Netherlands and where against drinking. They represents themselves with wearing this flower daily.
It was a regular customer couple and I like them so I lifted some of this tattoo background.
Told them it was a special flower wich represents many things in my life. The man said āand are you a non drinker also?ā
And you know my answer 
Glad Iām a non drinker for a while now.
A bit awkward conversation it was because it felt so private. Most of the time when people ask about this peticular tattoo I answer āitās personalā.
But for me itās the perfect sober tattoo!

Tapering down an antidepressant is difficult I know. I did it ages ago and hated the feeling in my brain, still can recollect it. Hope you feel better soon!
Ps, and I do not think there is anything wrong with you beside this is difficult for you to go trough. Donāt be to harsh for yourself 
I see that Iāve wrote the same as @JazzyS 
Weāll we must have a point then

Omg! I hope you have an amazing time seeing Rancid. Iāve loved them forever! I saw them at Warped Tour 2001 and it was awesome. I was 14 and didnāt drink or anything else and still had a blast! Hope you do too

Real late check in.
Lazy, relaxing day until work. Which was actually pretty busy, but prosperous. A lot of my coworkers are sick with the exact same symptoms I had last week. Thinking of that one night I thought I was dehydrated and couldnāt cool down, it never crossed my mind it couldāve been a fever, bc it was 95Ā° outside. I was achy, short of breath, with headaches for a couple days, then it turned into a sinus thing. My eyes have been bloodshot for about a week, stuffy nose, and itchy throat which leads me to think itās Ragweed now. Idk. I feel fine otherwise.
Coworkers invited me out again. Same bar as last time. Only a few ended up showing up but it was a nice time. Now its late and Iām ready for bed. Guilt free sleeping in, here I come
