High school and teenagers are no joke. I’m constantly in a battle over what I would consider common sense things.
Emptying a school backpack before the leftover lunch turns black green and fuzzy.
Flushing the toilet and replacing the toilet paper roll.
Taking showers shorter then an hour.
To name but a few lol
Yassssss … see I knew I found my people here.
He’s fine. I know he is. No fever. He was a pain last night all over the place and normal this morning… but let me drop everything and come get you so you can vacation at home the rest of the day 
… it was just not on my bingo card today
Thank you @JazzyS 
I’ve learned that to keep my sanity, I need to choose my battles very carefully. Somewhere between a barn and a psych ward is the line I have to tread carefully.
I felt that in my soul
Lol I feel like I just said this…
The world works in mysterious ways lol
34 days free of alcohol

My skin is going crazy. I’m itchy, breaking out in hives, and I have that condition where anything that touches your skin leaves a temporary red mark. I have not changed anything in a long time in terms of what I use for soaps etc. but I have switched to an all natural body wash just in case. My mind keeps getting caught in anxiety spirals but fortunately I can catch myself heading into a panic attack before it gets too far and do a meditation to get out of it. When I’m not anxiety spiraling I’m totally exhausted and have major brain fog. I’m so forgetful and can barely follow a thought. But at least I typed this 
Have a good sober day folks! Great numbers!! 
Oh man Lauren I’m sorry love. The skin issues and itchiness can be super aggravating.
I was told by a dermatologist that even when we don’t change anything as in skin products that sometimes our bodies just have enough and repel the products we have been using. Stress and hormones makes this even worse.
Sending you soothing vibes and hoping you find relief soon.
That brain fog is a bitch too… grateful you were able to check in…much love dear friend 
Vent away Tiff.
That’s what we’re here for.
You’re still sober and you’re not on fire.
So you got that going for ya.
Thirty days is huge!!!
Day 58
Getting up early means getting tired earlier in the evening. Progress, my friends
I’m looking into a plane ticket to Bangkok. I need Thai food, fresh coconut, tropical beaches and a foot massage 
Tomorrow I’ll decide whether I go or not. I feel a bit guilty not being at home for my parents for a month, but on the other hand I also want to live a little…
Absolutely! I just did that! I have my flannel sheets on my bed! They are amazing!
Day 34. I just wish I could find some energy to get up in the morning I used to be such an early bird. I can’t decide if it’s the start of the menopause or long COVID.
Thanks @JazzyS you are truly an angel 
Checking in day 10. Was feeling fairly positive yesterday but today I feel the opposite. Back to familiar feelings of what’s the point in everything that often come when I stop drinking. Still a bit unwell so can’t get back to my normal routine yet either. Looking forward to getting in bed and going to sleep 
Congratulations on your 10 days Pamala.
Those first 10 ODAAT’s were the hardest days of my recovery. I never have to do that again. I been depressed as shit all day. But you know what? This too shall pass. Let’s just feel this crap together and have a better day tomorrow, because we will go to bed sober tonight.
Great job on the 10
30 days sober. Ive been doing some reading and language learning which has been really fun. Ive not been going to my book club, but i plan to go back. I got a bit thrown off by new year busy-ness.
My mood is pretty good, less negative thoughts. My sleep cycle is completely out of whack. Find it hard to get out of bed and i sleep for long hours. Any tips? Always been a late riser…
Wishing you all of the best in your endeavours and continued sobriety!
Nice job ShyBert. 30 feels wild to me. Like a super long time, but also just a drop in the bucket. One day at a time is so much more manageable for me to comprehend. But 30 really does feel good to me too. I think I actually care about other people more.
Congrats again bud
Congrats on your double digits Pamela.
We will definitely have our ups and downs and the down days really do make us question why we are even on the sober journey. I can tell you that it does get easier and better. You will not have to endure the hell from the beginning days ever again. It really did take me about a month to start getting a routine down. At the beginning it was all about just not picking up. Not having that first drink or puff. Whatever it took to go to bed sober was all that i was focused on and every night was a win in my book (even if all i did that day was sleep).
We are right here with you love - keep pushing forward. ODAAT 
Thank you so much
Love seeing this – way to go with your 1 month!! Woot Woot! Grateful to hear that the negative thoughts are lessening. The sleep cycle is a bitch … a few things that might help listed below
Hoping that you are able to get your sleep regulated soon Should be very proud of your milestone!
Hi Talking Sober Family
Day 22 AF
Day 140 doc
Day 0 ciggarettes
Self compassion and increasing my faith is my goal right now.
Being hard on myself and living in regret has only lead to relapse and negativy.
I continue to grow and learn on this journey.
I have been consistent with my morning prayer, meditation and reading JFT. I also have been journaling and creating a strong community of support. Faith with out works doesn’t exist. Grateful to be here. Love to you all. Keep at it
Happy 24
