Just passed 6 months. I feel a lot healthier lately but I feel like Iām stressed out and anxious all the time. I donāt know if my brain is still recalibrating but Iām tired of the mind struggles. Iām doing relatively well I shouldnāt feel this way. Anyways, thanks for letting me share.

Day 675
Been another busy morning. Got alot accomplished plus by sons medical appt. Im getting ready now for his Christmas concert. I actually feel pretty anxious about it. Im feeling quite overstimulated already and it hasnt even happened yet. Almost like im predicting it. Going places with a medical child involves a bit of planning. Its doable of course but like I said involves planning and preparation. Hoping all goes well this evening and we have fun (and stay healthy). Hope everyone is doing well today! I will catch up on the reading shortly

Day 1097,
First time I went to an activity to learn some new people. I was nervous but it went fine. Played some pool with 8 people I never met. It is via an app, will be planning some more things in the near future, there are all kind of things, theater, bowling, walks, game nights etc. Planning it will give some things to look forward to. Out of the isolation step by step. There was a nice woman as well, thatās my addict mind a bit. But there was some attraction

Nice to check in and read you are making steps away from isolation and meeting new people @Rob11 I think I need to take inspiration from you. Maybe in the new year as Christmas etc will involve enough socialising for me.
Congratulations @Barber508 on 100 days 
I hope your move out of state goes well tomorrow @Alden ,sending positive vibes your way 
Checking in on day 148 tired but happy.
I did the usual ātoo nervous to sleepā thing last night before my first day at my new job but, despite me being knackered, it went really well. They seem a nice (small) team of people and I think I will pick up the new systems and software quickly enough. Iām going to struggle sitting at a desk 9-5, but the slower pace means I should still have some energy for life after work, which is what itās all about

You should let your counselor know this as it is part of their duty to make sure there is enough time for you to come down from this high state of emotions to regulate yourself before leaving their office.
Letting them know this will allow them to adjust how theyāre treating you.
Remember youāre their boss. They are there to work for you and your needs.

Hey everyone. I donāt typically check in on this thread, and I probably wonāt in the future either, but I figured Iād drop a line. Life has been very busy for me. Iām not exactly sober (as in not sober). I go a month or two between relapses, maybe three if Iām doing well. Itās difficult. Sometimes I can go from feeling 100% sober to relapse in the course of an hour. Then Iām left thinking what in the world just happened.
Iām trying to use my lifelines that Iāve established in the past. One of those will be trying to post on here more regularly. Iāve always enjoyed doing the research to find topics for the Mind Blowing Random Thoughts thread (you can look it up on your own, not going through the effort to link it). Iāll try to keep that up, since Iāve heard from people that itās been helpful to new users. At least on weekdays, when Iām at work. Weekends are too busy.
Anyway, I havenāt forgotten about all of you. Youāre an amazing community and I really appreciate many of you (too many to list, present and moved on).

Hey guys checking in on day 99. So you know what that means? It means tomorrow this fuckin counter wil never be at double digits again. I really canāt say enough about the IOP program I went to, and the people there that helped me. Totally changed my outlook on alcohol, and sobriety, and living sober and avoiding relapse. Itās still just about today though and dealing with tomorrow when it gets here. Have a great day guys

Day 7!!! 1 week!!!
Today has been hard. My twin sister is breaking off her engagement to her fiance and it breaks my heart to watch her heart break. I love her so much, I hate seeing her this way. Sheās hurting and I feel like I canāt help and I hate that.
Update: sheās home. Not really responsive to any of us. Itās hard to watch her this way. I feel the need to take care of her. Guys Iām falling apart. Iāve cried a bunch since she got home. Sheās really acting weird and Iām afraid for her.

Loads of days sober check inā¦ Went to work the other day and ended the night in hospital having a brain scan which was a bit unexpected. I seem to have so many things a matter with me health wise at the moment but imagine if I was still drinking and taking drugs. 1, would my body take it. 2, would the staff at the hospital be so happy to help someone who is clearly killing himself anyway. 3, would I even ask for help bc having another drink usually cures everything anyway.
Blessed to be focused.
One day at a time.
