Morning all!
I’m now 90 days alcohol free. Making the call to quit after a very boozy weekend at the end of August was one of the best decisions I ever made.
Benefits have included: better sleep; lower stress levels; increased productivity; weight loss; and lots more.
Reading people’s experiences on here has helped, so thanks to everyone for sharing.
It’s a cold day in the north west of England but I’m heading out for a walk before a chilled afternoon watching the football.
Hope you all have a pleasant Sunday!

I agree. No reset needed. It wasn’t intentional nor was it your fault.

Good morning everyone. I’m working my way through day 15 and feeling great about that!!! Not so great in other ways but after praying and journaling about it, I’ve learned that I can’t fix anyone but me and what other people do is about them not me. For example my husband got drunk and we had a family party to attend, my first one sober and he knows this, and he was just annoyingly, belligerently, stumbling drunk. 
Like thanks for the support honey. Also would like to mention it was a family thing for my family so like WTF 
old me would have used it as a reason to get pills this morning and ice him out and be cold and distant toward him on our day to have family time and connect. Not new me, new me stepped back and coped using tools to get me through my anger and resentment, I didn’t use pills that would only hurt me and make it all worse. Now my anger has passed and I’m just kind of sad but getting it out here is helping me to feel empathy for my husband. He had a rough day with his family yesterday right before we left. He has been super supportive and going through so much with me getting sober, then had to go and interact with my family. That was a lot, and even though I feel like he has an unhealthy relationship with alcohol, I can’t change him. I get that now. All I can do is keep my side of the street clean and hope our relationship can survive all of the changes. I’m going to let it go and continue to be the best sober me for another 24. Have a sensational Sunday everyone!!

Hey guys good morning. Working till about 3 today, hopefully it all goes smooth. We’ve been having a lot of emergency work as far as powerline problems already and it’s not even that cold out, so this doesn’t bode well for the upcoming winter. I started a basement refinishing project, so that’s been keeping me busy in the evenings. Turning half into a home gym and the other half gonna stud out and build a storage area. Hope you all have a great Saturday. Go Eagles. 
It would be crazy to reset over such a ridiculous mistake. I hope you find the culprit.

Day 175 AF.
I’ve been feeling strong depressive feelings over the weekend. It was 1pm by the time I managed to get out of bed on Saturday, and I’m still in bed today at 12 noon. I have managed to make the kids bacon rolls for breakfast today, and I have a cup of coffee. That’s more than I managed yesterday morning. I don’t know what else to write, I’m just feeling so down again. I just want to sleep but I’m not sleepy. I just want to blot everything out.
I hate this.

Checking in on day 392 AF.
From the amazing high of my 1st powerlifting competition last night to feeling pretty low this morning. There was only 1 thing for it - another workout! Spent an hour beating myself up in the gym to get the adrenaline going again.
Back on the couch now with a coffee watching football on the TV. Think I’ll get a little fire going at halftime, it’s proper cold here today.
Enjoy the rest of your sober weekend everyone.

Morning checkin day 10.
Slept like crap again after crying myself to sleep. Extremely emotional. But glad I didn’t drink. It’s just so tempting to numb myself.
Grateful for my cat on my lap this morning as I drink my coffee. (Different cat from yesterday morning)

So sorry to hear you have such down days @Deelzebub
I guess this time of the year doesn’t make it any better. I hate November anyway, when it’s all dark and wet and cold. But I hope you’ll find a way out of the depressed feelings. Sometimes it helps me to just put on the warmest clothes I have and go for a little walk. No matter what the weather is like. Sometimes I just accept that I don’t have any energy and stay on my sofa all day.
Maybe you can get your notepad and a pen to your bed and write or drawn something. You’re such a creative person.
Hope you feel better soon Delia. Big hugs

Morning check in on day 120
Wow I’m a bit impressed be this number, don’t know way but it makes me feel … not proud but … lucky and blessed.
Yeah blessed might be the right word.
I remember watching others turning into their triple digits and I always thought what an achievement this is and I always wondered how to get there …
Now I’m here on day 120 and I never felt that comfortable and safe in my sobriety.
Go on sober peeps… One day at a time… It is possible and it is so f… worth it.
Have a great sober Sunday and never give up the good fight
