I spent my day 1 here. I didnā€™t know what to do with myself and I was so ashamed and sick. Everyone was so kind and talked me through it.

Closing in on day 11. It was nice to see that day 10 coin pop up and that the next target is 2 weeks.
Iā€™ve had a lot of sleep anxiety since I started too, as if I fear of going to sleep, so I stay up til midnight every night. I say itā€™s so I can get some time to myself but Iā€™m wondering if itā€™s because Iā€™m scared of tomorrow. I donā€™t know. Iā€™m not having nightmares. I am loving my life at the moment. Something is there I havenā€™t found yet.

Day 10

Today is my two digit of sober days came :slight_smile: , Yes Iā€™m today completing 10 days of sobriety.

Beginning was difficult for me, I didnā€™t sleep for 3 days and also nightmares.

Now Iā€™m getting very good sleep, yesterday i went for a movie alone in theatre, it was long time ago that im going movie alone, Iā€™m learning to live alone because friends are limited to us, They only come if they get benefits, if i call someone for pub or bar they definitely come or if i call for any help they tell excuses that is life.

I will enjoy my sober journey alone :slight_smile:

Whew! What a long day :sleepy: I was in a great mood right off the bat and had loads of energy. I sat down around 5pm for the first time since I got up. I thought that was it for my day, as it normally would be. Just sitting around, thinking about all the things I want to get done until it was time for bed. Today was different.

Just like that inner monolog argument over drinking, when I finally told myself ā€˜noā€™, I changed my way of thinking. The comfy couch kept trying to hold me down, but I just kept saying ā€˜No! Get up and do something!ā€™ My first instinct was to do something small and easy, like the junk cupboard in the kitchen, but then I decided it was time to eat the frog :frog:

I went in my daughterā€™s room and started in the worst corner. She immediately wanted to help :smiley: In 2 hours we got rid of 4 garbage bags worth of stuff, some furniture and a lot of dust bunnies. Almost half the room done already, and it wasnā€™t nearly as bad as Iā€™ve imagined this whole time. For years my thoughts have paralyzed me, but I finally found strength, and Iā€™m so happy I pushed myself. So worth it seeing how excited she was to have more space. Itā€™s a good feeling.

For anyone whoā€™s struggling with anything, donā€™t give up! Donā€™t lose hope. Keep on trying. You can make it happen :muscle: :heart:

Day 536

Having some good days and some not so good. But through it all Iā€™m sober and have no intention of changing that.
Planning this trip has taken so much mental energy already and itā€™s still months away. I just really want this to go well. Iā€™m running out of time to have a family vacation with my kids before theyā€™re grown upā€¦
