Such a boring day. No one came in for lunch at work. Was tired afterwards from doing nothing so I had a nap. Then went shopping and had dinner. I’m actually pretty tired already. Work in the morning again. there’s customers.
Goodnight

Woke up too early which gave me plenty of time to journal this morning. Half way through writing my right hand unconsciously pushed the on button on my pc while my left hand was busy writing.
Finished writing my journal for now, it’s a good habit to develop. I like how different things come to mind when I write purely for myself instead of here which of course is also some kind of journaling. But with an audience and a different purpose. Which also makes me see the purpose I still see for myself to be here. A purpose for myself and -hopefully- for some of you too. Because we’re in this together. One day at a time.
Work today, individual therapy tomorrow. Missed one session due to her being on holidays which means I haven’t seen her for 4 weeks. I think I worked through some rather big personal sh*t in the meantime. Gives me a feeling of empowerment. Progress. Sober and clean or nothing would come of anything. Have as good a day as you can all. Love.
Day 753 AF
Good evening, gang.
Dude, this Wordscape Ad is killing me, lol. It takes a minute to load.
Anyways, it’s been a slow night at work. Working remotely is getting to me. It’s kinda crazy with the kids and all. I need a little breather from my apartment. I’m going to a company outing this Friday. It should be fun.
I got back on my skateboard this morning and took a cruise on the pump track.
Nothing much going on.
Hope everyone’s doing well. Take care, gang. Stay strong!
Thank you Jasmine, can’t lie, 50 felt good. Slept a little better last night so fingers crossed it continues.
Day 51:
Not a bad day at all. The work load calmed down a bit today which gave me time to get a little winter break vacation all set up. The older I get the more the Utah winters weigh on me so planning get-a-ways in the winter is a must. Headed down to Scottsdale, AZ with a friend for a few days the start of December. Even though it won’t be hot, it won’t be freezing with snow either! Having things to look forward to always seem to make the bad days easier to handle.
Chill night at home after work, felt at peace, calm and happy. Watched some of the Jazz game, got my workout in and getting a little reading on here done before bed.
Looking forward to another sober day. Hoping the feelings of peace, calm and happiness continue.
I figured out that when a long add pops up, anywhere on the app, close out the app completely and reopen it. You might have to do it more than once but it’s still quicker than watching the whole add

Checking in sober
Thank you all so much for your wishes (too many to list)… It realy means a lot to me
It was good to show up here with hard life facts.
Not hiding. A point to learn.
It was a real hard day yesterday, but we made a real good team in organising and staying together. We realy had the chance to say goodbye. He was still laying in his bed napping until noon and had an unbelievable relaxed smile. We expected him to make a joke every moment. That’s the moment to remember
It belongs to life…
And it goes on.
Doing simple things.
One by one.
I am realy sad this morning, having to cry a lot but I won’t hold back. Will stay soft and fluent.
I don’t have any urges.
Love you guys
Big hugs to you @Juli1 … and love. I’m glad you all had the time with him that you did… the moments to remember … life … and love… …the simple things … and sober. Continued thoughts for all of you.
Hey all, I’m on day 3 today to stopping completely!
I have always been unable to control my urges and have never surrounded myself with a good support system to help me quit. My ex/current (complicated due to my recent binging and actions) has been helping me cut back over the last year but only to his best abilities, people with addiction are very hard to love at times . After this past week I’m so happy I have found a community like this to have some supportive likeminded people to talk to and keep motivated!
This is my first post but I’m sure it won’t be my last! Keep fighting team
Hello Jamie and welcome.
Sounds like you are really ready and glad you found us. It is so much easier to completely abstain than it is to moderate when you are built like us. It takes so much of the thinking out of it. How are you feeling today?
So pleased to see you and so sorry for all that your family are going through. Big hugs
Hello all, checking in on Day 56, now 4 days from 60 and my longest sober period. There is no way I am throwing this away.
I have to go into the office today and my gallbladder hurts Terrible timing as I have my interview next Wednesday (internal job). I better get moving.
Have a really good day all
Welcome to the site @JamJam ! Lots of good informative posts and threads here, plus super supportive community! Nice to see you jump in JamJam!
Thank you and you’re so right. Abstinence is what it’ll take.
I’m feeling so good about it! Tough road but absolutely the right one
Welcome! For sure, stopping after having one is MUCH harder than stopping before having one. I hope we can help each other.
Welcome to TS Jamie. You will find wonderful resources and loving people here. Keep checking in…
Checking in on day 375.
Heading off to pick up my parents and go to my Uncle’s funeral now, will check in again tonight.
Have a great Thursday everyone.
Day 18
Have a nice day everyone
5am checkin with horrible insomnia all night. I gave up around 3:30am and got up. I’m afraid it’s the new medicine I started yesterday. Feeling miserable. At least I work from home with a flexible schedule so I can nap midday. I’ll probably start work early since I’m up.

Day 1055,
Checking in, have a nice day
