Day 330.
I’m in a really dark place, mentally. Darkest it’s been all year. But checking in. Sober.

Day 784 AF
I finally finished paying off my car loan today. One less bill to pay.
We went to get our little man’s first haircut. He bailed the last time we took him. He handled it pretty well. Went to visit my in-law’s and my mom’s. Got back home and went for a long walk. My head was spinning. A lot of crazy thoughts. I talked to my wife about it for 2 hrs. Feeling better now. It’s 2am. I better pass out.
I hope yall have a great day. Take care. Stay safe.
ODAAT.
Thanks Emilie. I keep reminding myself that there’s no problem drinking won’t make worse. But it’s hard.
Hey all, checking in on day 1274. I hope everybody has a good one!
Day 7
Feeling meh. Tired, no energy and a crazy neckpain. I know a glass of wine will ease the pain temporarily, but will bite me in the ass afterwards. I ride the bad feelings out by being extra kind to myself (movies, comfort food and just being lazy today).
On the other hand I’m looking forward to another week sober and how it will further improve my sleep quality.
Reading all of your stories here make me feel not so alone in this
That is so true. If you need another reminder let us know. Sending hugs and a very deep breath.
Day 20/21
Checking in from an epsom bath. My left thigh has seized up a bit from my fall yesterday, and my poor ankle bone is like a swollen egg with a big scab on. Woke up with a crazy headache the last two days and have been having very emotionally draining vivid dreams. I think I drank too much coffee yesterday and got dehydrated.
Happy to be sober. Getting ready to watch the London derby between Arsenal women and Chelsea women, come on the Chelsea!
Have a roast dinner planned later and going to do a few Yin Yoga slow flow sessions that I got from the lovely Mel. Hopefully my body will feel less sore and stiff tomorrow, it was quite the fall so I guess to be expected that I’m a bit ouch. Also, still mortified.
Have a great Sunday everyone. Love
Checking in. Ive stayed clean of all my addictions today. Its been rough. Not smoking weed is really getting to me tonight. Trying to stay distracted and do some research on psychotherapy and whatnot.
There was a lot of coffee, mate, and lounging involved in the 8 hour dancing marathon but we made it there. Hahaha
Thank you, thank you, thank you! And so many well wishes to you Alycia 🫶🏿
Thanks for checking in Amy. Good times and bad ones. We’re in this together.
Checking in on day 151.
Checking in tonight before sleep
Sober and feeling good. One day at a time my friends.

Day 26, hey good morning sober fam. I’m up and showered, getting ready for church. Just said my gratitudes and looking forward to the day. Honestly not sure what else I’m going to do today, my gym membership is out and needs to be renewed, so no gym for a little bit until I have some money. But yeah I’m feeling relaxed and just looking forward to the day, I hope everyone has some really good days much love

Checking in on day 189 AF.
Last nights meal out went well. The other three shared a bottle of wine and I had a bottle of san Pelegríno to myself. I almost picked up my friends glass at one point and I was aware of how often I was sipping my water throughout the meal. I would easily have polished off a bottle of wine to myself back in the day, and then gone on to wanting more after that.
This morning I’ve woken up feeling depressed again though. It’s not as deep a feeling as last time and I’m up and dressed now but it’s there. The plan is for my daughter and I to get a Christmas tree this afternoon.
Wishing everyone an addiction free day.
