59 days is phenomenal, Have a great Easter with the fam.
Thank you for thinking of me. Your support really means a lot. I hope you have a good weekend too. Sounds like you have a nice day planned out
Day 10 morning check in
Had about 3 hours sleeping stayed up watching TV then my food shop was coming around 6:30am.
Being honest with myself I can feel temptation already trying to creep in. Trying to plant a seed in my head that ‘It’s a day of celebration one won’t hurt’
Well i won’t water the seeds my own mind is trying to plant because their not for my greater good.
I think for today - I remind myself I only need to plan for ‘just for today’ the next 24hrs - I will walk Polly, quick hoover and mop and put some of the food on to cook and then take a nap. That will help.
And today all of us, our sober family will be sober together, so I know to reach out and anyone else who may struggle please do the same and reach out if you need to
I also want to get my big book out and have a read later.
Have a lovely day everyone, and Happy Easter to those celebrating
Day 279. Going to take it easy. I ended up putting 12 small shelves up in my wife’s shop last night. The cornish granite walls are a real pain to drill into
Good morning everyone! Checking in on day 119. I hope you all have the most amazing day!

Sending healing vibes your way for the pup and some sleep fairies for you

Mousehole??
Good morning friends.
I’m checking in with 244 days sober and free from alcohol. That makes 8 months of not drinking one drop of my DOC.
It’s getting so normal for me now (in the best way of meaning normal ) that I don’t even think of drinking but still sometimes in the supermarket aisle I see the bottles and think what would it be like to have one again? But even then I can’t find any reason to get one. Simply non! No reason to buy or get one or start to drink again.
But still I find myself in the low energy corner, not bothered to do anything except working and seeing family. Still a bit low in general.
This time around last year I started to have a drink every now and then again after almost 3 months time of being sober. It put me in a hole very quickly of course and took me another 4 month to get back on the horse. But here I am with 8 months sober today.
Anyway, sorry for the long rant.
I’m here, I’m sober and I’m happy. All I need to do is getting my ass out of the door literally and start walking again as @Mno and @Timetochange inspired me already with their beautiful pictures.
Thank you sober gang… I love you all and being grateful for this amazing community.
Have a wonderful Easter holiday everyone
I wonder if people who don’t know Cornwall are wondering what you have just written
Hi all, checking in Day 5. This cold is dragging so think it may have to be a lazy day to try and save the rest of the Easter weekend. I am in that weird stage with no energy but really bored. I think it is also making me boring as I have nothing else to say!
Erratic and misdirected emotions can be hard to deal with. I have had good results by getting out as much physical energy as possible - hitting a heavy bag for 10 minutes helped release my anger. Then I could change my thinking about it - usually trying to see the other person as sick or hurting helped.
What relieved my emotional and psychic pressure was long term therapy (weekly for about 3 years) and a good solid step 4 and 5 in my AA program.
Checking in for Day 28 @ 530am. So glad!
Checking in on day 84 AF
Enjoy your Easter weekend TS family
Enjoyed a great 6k yesterday with Bauer in 12C with fog and drizzle. Today is another gym day. Old clothes that haven’t fit in forever are slowly making an appearance!
Sober and boring is way better than drunk and embarrassing.
Nope! Sure don’t!
Checking in day 186. Going to be a lovely day here. Sunny and 70. Going to home group today, and hit the YMCA today. Have to come up with a meatless meal for supper. Guess I’ll shoot over to the foodies thread. See what ideas I can find! Have a great day everyone!! Thanks for being here!
Thank you for the links. Shall keep me distracted for a bit🙏
