I got my start on this page, thank you.
hey everyone just checking in, wrapping up day 28, very grateful in my heart to be waking up hangover free again tomorrow. i am noticing so many changes in these past few weeks. i have felt the surge of confidence and motivation, i have felt the heartache and disgust, the pull of temptation . . . today i felt a bit more melancholy, but i just thought āitās okay. itās okay to feel sad. i dont have to fight anything. iām just, here. and everything is working itself out.ā
Day 2488. Iāve been so busy with work and commuting, and catching up with house stuff on the weekends that I havenāt had a chance to post here much. Iām worried about how hard it is to fit exercise in and how that affects my energy level. Iām going to try harder this week and take a change of clothes with me to work so I can go walking right after. My energy level has not been good.

Day 19:
Have to say it was a pretty good day. Didnāt sleep great, but Iām used to that, unfortunately. My daughter had a volleyball tournament today, probably the last tournament I will ever have the pleasure of watching her play. Four weeks left in her high school season and then thatās it. Sheās a senior this year and as great as I think she is, college volleyball is not in her future. She had a terrific tournament. Been an absolute joy watching her play, but I also enjoy watching her grow up, just as I do with my son! They are both amazing young adults, I got lucky with those two!
Had a relaxing night after the tournament. Football on the couch and just relaxing at home. Pleasantly peaceful and content, who can ask for more!
Excited to attempt sleeping in tomorrow! Going to get some stuff done around the house and then having some friends over to BBQ and watch the Dallas Cowboys vs San Francisco 49ers. Should be a great Sunday and even better it will be day 20.
Go Cowboys!
Day 90 !!
I think my sugar cravings are starting to even out now. I had a few weeks where I ate whatever I fancied - mostly chocolate & cake. It started to get out of control. Fortunately my weight has stayed the same since going AF, although I had hoped to lose a bit now Iām not consuming so many empty calories - not likely with all the additional sugar .
Iām in a good place and would like to lose my pregnancy weight now - my youngest is 2 y/o after all
Lots of love to you all X

Didnāt sleep in as long as I wanted but had a lazy afternoon. Work was good bc my boss wasnāt there. The GM believes in us more and sent 3 people home (thatād been there all day) so just 2 servers and a busser. It felt good to be busy and make money. Went out to the usual hangout afterwards. Iāve decided darts is for drunk people. There were 3 teams of 2 and me and my partner were the only ones not drinking. Lost every time It was fun tho. Iām super tired and have to work in the morning. Itās going to be lame. Goodnight
100 days sober
Donāt have much to add. Iām just happy to be sober.
Triple digits !! Yes !! X
Woohoo! Congrats Mischa, Iām so proud of you. Getting to 100 days is no small feat, you are rocking the living fucks out of sobriety!
Had mine last week and similar happenedā¦ālooks nice and clearāā¦ She did clarify she was looking at the cervix though
Good morning everyone, checking in on day 343.
Had a poor sleep, and was just lying there tossing & turning again. Got myself up, showered and in the gym for a workout at 6am. Back home now for breakfast and a coffee.
Have a great Sunday everyone.

I had a much better day yesterday. I found and felt connection. Connected to myself by riding my bike (it was a lovely day for it), going to my favourite organic growers/grocery on the other side of town where I got some great produce (stew pears, turnip greens, sausages, eggs, bread) which I am in the process of consuming .
And felt so much connection from you all. Thanks so much. Weāre truly in this together friends. Letās have as good a day as we all can. Sober and clean. Love from Amsterdam.
90 days Lady! Yay! Big congrats!
Day 106. Lazy Sunday morning here. Have agood one folks
Haha, love this conversation, and thanks @Binx for sharing. Do you think they feel like they have to make conversation while you have your legs wide open?
Pleased to see there are some advantages to getting older. Bring on the every 5 years! I remember my first invitation to a smear test landed on my doorstep on my 19th birthday, sitting there amongst the birthday cards
Sounds like a perfect day, I may steal bits of it for myself today. So glad you are feeling better, thanks for the update xx
Hahaha so not funny, sitting amongst the birthday cards
14 at midnight.
Two weeks sober angels!!
Had a great time. Just got breakfast and walked along the shore. Coffee x 4
Going to get the train in an hour and a half back to the old smoke. I want to stay here and pretend I live at the seaside, read my Kindle by the beach. But alas, without the dark there is no light. Earn that. Life is good.
Found this and Iām intriguedā¦ Itās Like a woodlouse of the sea, any ideas?
Nothing really to check in, feeling strong and certain, thankful for two weeks, although my sister is threatening to visit for some R+R with us at the end of the week as sheās pissed off at home and still unhappy and scared there. Sheās a bit chaotic to say the least. Will pray for myself.
