@sakramento The beginning days are the hardest â lean on us here if you need support. One day at a time and Iâm sure you can turn that week to many more milestones 
@tragicfarinelli Great work on your sober time friend. I am sorry your eye is acting up â hope you were able to rest up and are feeling better now. It is so crazy to read your post today as I have been noticing the same recently â everyone has something that they are dealing with at some level and we do need to stay connected and there for each other as connection helps us heal.
@steve92 great work Steve â 50 days and going strong. Your alcohol free days are very impressive too 
@techpro92 Iâm sorry about the crap sleep â it does get better. Just keep kicking ass with your sober timer. 5 days is awesome!
@sobrietyforme 5 days is awesome friend and you will start feeling the benefits once again. Donât hold on to the relapse after your 170 days â you have those and have accomplished those and can use the tools from that stretch to help you now. Do hold onto this crappy feeling even days after your bender and remind yourself of this when the urge or notion to drink again pop up. Sending strength
@cleanheart Happy Birthday friend â great work on your 17 days! I know I was super wound up in the early months of my sobriety. I had to learn to breathe through meditation as I felt my blood pressure start to rise. Just take it one moment at a time.
@butterflymoonwoman I do hope that you were able to nap my friend. Sending you loving energy and snuggly hugs â hope you are able to find some peace and serenity 
@newbeginning1 Way to go with 4 days! Have a wonderful time with your mom â sounds lovely
Checking in on Wednesday eveningâŚ
Glad that my mom is healing well. Grateful that i am able to take care of her like she is always taking care of me.
Luckily i am not able to walk much these days or drive so i am not in danger of relapsing but today i really did want to numb myself. Glad that urge is gone and my sobriety is in tact.
Wishing everyone a wonderful addiction free day / evening - sending you all so much love

Oh glad that you are feeling better and got that nap in 
I just got a bit overwhelmed with pain and other symptoms and thought numbing would be good but then thankful to not being able to fulfil the urge and also the âplay the tape forwardâ helped me realize that alcohol wouldnât actually help with anything at all. Going to continue going one moment at a time and push through

Good day, tired now and ready for bed.
Took this kids this morning to the little farm in the city, that has been here since I was a kid. Such beautiful weather here, so it was nice to do that. Went to my moms for lunch and hung out a bit till hubby came to pick up the kids to go see his sister while I went for dinner with my best friend. Besty and I kept the convo light and laughed our asses off which was fantastic. Things are heavy, but I dont always want to talk about it.
Xo. Happy 25th hour

Tonight has been soooo stressful. My hubby wasnt in a good mood for various reasons and even though i could tell he was trying not to project his frustration onto me, it makes me very uncomfortable being around him when hes like that. This stems from my abusive relationship 10+ years ago. In fact, if we go even farther, this probably stems from my childhood. I was always the âpeacemakerâ in the family. Doing everything in my power to keep things calm in the household. I dont like conflict and Id try to fix the situation to the point where it effected me negatively. I have to remember that his emotions are HIS emotions. I cant control how another person feels. But I can control my reaction and how I feel. No one can make me feel a certain way. If I do, im allowing that person to have control over me. I just wish i didnt feel like things were always my fault. Even tho i know that they arent, i still feel responsible. Anyway, i need a break. I need something

Checking in Day 83. Today has been one busy day, but overall a good day. Talked to my sponsor today for about 45 minute, I call daily at 6, but today went a little deeper. Weâre going to meet up tomorrow night at our local meeting and stay a little after so we can go over some things and work on step 4. I hope everyone had a great day!

Pretty normal day. I could tell by the end my daughter was done. Iâve never seen her fall asleep so fast! Good. I should too. Iâm starting to yawn, which is good bc I gotta work in the morning. Sleep well 
or play well if your day is still happening

Drinking coffee while others still sleeping, I like to start a day like this.
Today I go to the library learn Dutch. Itâs a group of ppl, sitting by the table with some volunteers (teachers) and having a chat. This is exactly what I need - talking. I know language a bit but because my contact with Dutch people is limited, I dont feel comfortable speaking. I hope it will be nice. Im pretty excited 
Yesterday Sacha was playing at his friends place after school. When I picked him up, wow, what a garden they have. Paradise for kids. Little football field, swings etc, they even have chickens. Beautiful. His friends are so rich 
Kids of farmers mostly. I wouldnât call us poor, I think we have everything what we need. I try to teach them that materialistic things are not the most important but at some point he gonna notice the difference between us and his rich ass friends When I was a kid we were also average but my friends were average too so I donât really know how it feel as a kid. Well, just a morning coffee thoughts
Have a good day my friends and wish me luck with my new library thing. Iâm not good at socialising

Jumped the gun yesterday and posted 103, but was only 102
Quiet day at home mostly, took the dog to the vet, got a few groceries, then just chilled resting up for nightshift.
At work now, in what can potentially be the busiest role in the crew tonight, been quiet so far so hopefully it will continue.
@Mischa84 thats awesome youâre doing some language study. Always impressed by Europeans and their knowledge of many languages

@NewBeginning1 Your days of freedom are stacking up nicely. Great job 
@Thumper1213 Nice to meet you
@Mischa84 Wishing you the best experience today at the library. I remember how daunting it was to come into a room full of people speaking a language I did not. We all want to communicate, to express ourselves, to connect, to be heard. This is a great step 
@K_S Your determination to work the program is inspiring!
@Butterflymoonwoman It sure sounds like you need some time off. Is there anything small you could do for yourself? Hot bath? A walk? Coffee with a friend? A meditation? Something silly and relaxing?
@Caitilynn1510 Take your time, relax. Youâre on the right path.
@CleanHeart A very happy birthday to you! I hope youâll find a nice way to unwind from all that stress.
@Lile01 Good to see back
@SobrietyForMe Give yourself time. Youâll get to the better parts.
@Shel75 Sending you strength to get through the cravings 
113 sugar
11 UPF
6 overeating/binge
Goals for today: keeping food journal, mindfulness practice while eating, practicing HALT throughout the day. Listening to my body over my frantic mind.
Woke up with a headache. Hope coffee will make it better. It usually does.
Today probably more game analysis, a longer bike ride to pick up the organic meat I ordered at a farm nearby, hopefully a relaxing evening yoga. My daughter will get a vaccine shot today. She usually reacts quite sensitively to these. Letâs hope it will be only some mild discomfort. In the evening one of us will attend an informational event at school about the subjects she can choose next term. Thatâs going to be quite exciting.
Whatever life brings, using will make everything only worse. Letâs find our peace, love and freedom in the present

Iâm here, Iâm alive and Iâm sober.
Day 15
Itâs raining again. I donât really have anything against it, just yet.
Read something yesterday that made me think.
I follow a trauma treatment account on Instagram.
And the lady wrote something like âYour kids rather hang out in the family living room our kitchen, or whether you guys are because youâve made the entire house a safe zone for themâ
Iâve never thought about that.
Our boys have both the upperfloor as play/hobbyroom and a shared bedroom downstairs on their request.
If any of them happens to be in the bedroom that always leave the door open. If any of them happens to be upstairs they almost always wants at least one of us parents to be a part of their activities.
And if they want something to eat when itâs not meal time, they simply just go and get it and asking if anyone else wants a snack on their way.
It was like an aha moment to read that quote.
Wishing you all a wonderful day.
We made it to Thursday guys.

Weekend! For me that is. Supposed to be a sunny warm day today so I better get myself and my bike ready, and ride a bit, and catch some
. Breakfast first. Got to take care of myself, like we all do. One day at a time. Have as good a day as you all can friends. Sober and clean. Love from Luna and me.
@MrsOdh Thatâs great to read Sophia. Thanks for sharing. I guess for lots of us, most of us, it was different. 
@Mischa84 Hoping for you it will be nice my friend. I think it will be. These things are very âlaagdrempeligâ, hope that helps.
