Five months today

Honesty is a huge part of sober living. Honesty to ourselves in the first place. Thanks for being here and giving the good example x

Thank you for your support, itās tricky to stand up against hurtful family. Itās almost like fighting for your sobriety and having to remind yourself about all the awful times and why you canāt drink anymore.
Thatās how I feel with my relationships with my older sisters, the happy memories were very few and far between and it was mostly just awful and painful.
It sounds like you had a wonderful thanksgiving, I hope it was relaxing and restful

Thankyou 
listening to your share about your progress after more than four years is inspiring. Itās a journey and sometimes hard work to take care of ourselves, but no one is going to do it for us. We have to put that work in.
Its worth it, we are worth it

Good morning everyone
Son was calling me from his crib kind of early, and I went in and one of the cats had climbed in (usually the doors to upstairs are closed at night to keep them downstairs). He was pretty happy to be woken up by his friend.
Thinking a lot about sobriety and goals that take time. Its pretty normal I think to look at the mountain in front of us and go āthats impossibleā or how can I ever get to where I want to be? How can I do that? And then, its one step at a time and just little by little. Im starting to feel a bit less like things are impossible or becoming entirelt overwhelmed by things that seem so big because I really appreciate how slow the meaningful things come. It is really amazing to me how sobriefy effects evefything, not feom just putting down the drink but doing the work to get to know yourself and life.
Something that seems impossible today, isnt that far down the road. Keep at it, little by little.
Happy 25 xo (25th hour is my thing now Im owning it xo)

Sounds like a really beautiful day 
Im so sorry your leg was giving you trouble, I hope you are able to rest it.
Its amazing how something as simple as a request heard (like not hotboxing the garage) is such a big deal. Being heard & respected just feels darn good & it feels good to give it back to others as well. Fair enough not wanting them to hotbox it 
Glad you had a good time Jasmine xo

Good morning!
Day 1
2023 = 30 years of being a drunk. Itās time I tried 30 years of not being a drunk.
Judging by my parentsā later years, I might only have about 20 more good years before my muscles start wasting away (barring medical advances or good luck).

Day 175 AF.
My daughter has been home from school for the past three days due to a viral infection. My mood has been poor today. Iāve been experiencing cravings for alcohol to numb myself. I made myself go to the shops earlier to get some soft drinks to counter the cravings as ice cold water was no longer cutting it. We get takeout on Friday so Iām looking forward to that. Otherwise Iām just staying cosy for the evening.
Wishing everyone an addiction free day.

@Lainenicole96 Good to see youāre feeling better mate
Checking in Day 35)
I honestly feel so fucking busy itās unreal. So I got offered the job in the Italian restaurant I interviewed/trialled at on Wednesday which is nice - Iām really hoping theyāre not just taking me on for the festive period and then plan to drop me after. This has happened before and is really common in the hospitality industry sadly. That said, iām writing a lot of music at the moment - Can I count on you guys to buy 250,000 hardcopies each? lol
My sponsor said to me the other week āā¦so fucking what?ā about something. I canāt remember what it was about, probably a girl that didnāt want to talk to me or something but I feel like in the right context/situation, its such a great way to let go of things that leave me butt-hurt. They didnāt want to shake your hand? So fucking what? Thereās a ton of people who do. That girl doesnāt want to talk to you? So fucking what? Thereās tons of people that do want to talk to you. That meal didnāt taste as good as you wanted it to? So fucking what? Cook it again and do it better next time.
I think my point is iām really learning not to let things fester anymore. Letting go and letting my higher power do the work has been such a ā¦ strange experience because iām a complete and utter fucking control freak but Iāve written some great passages, a couple of really good songs (which may have been by my hand but they felt like i was just plucking words out the air at times) , iāve finally got job offers coming in, olds friends coming out of the woodwork, toxic people going back into the woodwork!
Yeah, lifes pretty good today, Joe.
Iām also not drinking tonight.
Hugs not Drugs.
