14 days and 12 hours. I’m finding routine and structure to be my biggest asset. Me and my wife have a concert this Friday and also a night in a hotel. I’m a little nervous about it but also looking forward to having a fun night out minus the kids 
wish me luck.

Checking in. Not much going on so far today at work. I have some appointments later. I think my day off yesterday did me some good. I spent most of the afternoon sitting on my patio in the sun reading a book. It was quiet and relaxing. I need more of that instead of putting so much pressure on myself all the time to get everything done or fix everything. It’s OK to just sit and relax.
I hope everyone is having a great day.

@misokatsu great to see you checking in Flo. For me I need to practice self-compassion and love when I get into the people pleasing cycle. Glad you are not letting the temporary escape notion tempt you (no good can come from that).
@danam56 hope you got some rest Dana and are feeling better today 
@k_s Glad that you are connecting with your brother. Our actions do a lot more talking on our behalf. 9 kids made for an lively household. I am the eldest of three and I do get the pressure of leading by example although I know I didn’t set a good one but my siblings are now here for me as I stack up the days in sobriety.
@juli1 oh man the hormones and cycles can be a bitch for sure. I am sorry that you haven’t been able to swim as much lately. I think it’s a great idea to join a gym and have another outlet for yourself. 77 days and pushing along with great strength my friend. Sending you love Jules 
Great idea to have a plan in hand. Sending you strength for your travel ahead. Remember we are here for you James! Keep stacking up the days 
@jonachav123 yes do take it ODAAT but you need more for a plan to stay sober than that. For me, i stored up loads of Non alcoholic type drinks like la croix’s and ginger ale. I also changed up my routines so I would not feel triggered. I was hosting a NYE party less than 2 weeks into my sobriety and I had to make a solid plan on how to handle my urges. I knew that if I picked up that night then I would not find my way back any time soon. Your brain will always be looking for an excuse to hold off quitting (like after this gathering, or after this event). You have to decide when you’ve had enough and do what you can to stick with it. We will all be here to support you Glad you re-installed the app and are working on your sobriety
@scorpn so lovely to see you Renee – about to be triple 5’s 
Hope you are doing well and not working too hard
@jonase sending good vibes today your way – wishing all goes well with your moms surgery and that she has a quick painless recovery.
@konrad55 Yeah to 2 weeks of sobriety and finding your routine. Hope you have a great time on Friday. Go in with a plan to drink sodas or water while there and have your phone charged in case you need us for any support. Sending you luck and strength!
Checking in on Tuesday morning
I am very tired as i don’t feel like i slept much last night. I am not doing well with the pain and not sure if it was all stirred up with the acupuncture treatment yesterday. I have had tons of coffee and still feel like i could knock off. I have showered and gotten clean sheets so i may just nap for a bit
Wishing everyone a wonderful addiction free day - sending you all so much love

Day 2090, and still plugging along.
All the good advice I got here still keeping me sober, still active in the rooms. Trying to double down these days to stay less distracted, more intentional, more mindful.
It’s so easy to coast by and let the old self creep back in. But I didn’t get sober to be a vegetable. I got sober to live!
Be well, my homies.

Great to see you Eke! Thanks for dropping by, and for reminding me and us all that we got sober to live, yes sir! Never going back to that vegetative state. Be well you!

I got through day 4 surprisingly well. The thought of drinking wine came up from time to time, but then I just thought “not now” or simply „not today“. I have a lot to do at work and am very happy to be clear and focused.
I’m still avoiding shopping though. Just in case.

Day 871
Strange day today, got loads done around the house and I feel like I also relaxed quite a lot too and wasn’t busy at all.
Was asked by one of my twins how long it had been since I last had a drink, then they asked if I had thought about it. I honestly answered and said I actually couldn’t consciously recall the last time I really wanted a drink and I don’t remember when the last time I thought about having one was.
I know another day like that will come, it’s part of who I was, however the fact I haven’t had those thoughts for some time is a nice feeling.
Have an interview coming up in a couple of weeks for a new post, been waiting for it to come up since October last year when the person who had the job transferred to another department. However some changes to the job role etc were needed and it took so long to be approved that it’s only being sorted now.
Anyway onwards and upwards, sending love strength and happiness to everyone.
Have a good evening/afternoon/morning/night wherever you are in the world!

Checking in.
Feeling sad, miserable and used.
I’m the one left to sort out the absolute shambles of a one night stand, only to find out he’s seeing another woman 
So he was either seeing her beforehand and didn’t tell me, or he’s magically decided to jump into a relationship in 2 weeks.
Fuck’s sake.
Have an appointment with the sexual health nurse on Friday, so that will be sorted, but I’m feeling really low and want to drink.
I also forgot to buy tortilla chips for my guac and it’s really pushed me over the edge, lmao :')
Hopeless and guac-less today.

Day 46 started well, but fatigue hit me hard this afternoon. I’m not quite recovered yet. A little frustrating but I have not wanted to drink in 46 days. That is good. I’ll go slower, do my 90 days and see the difference. Seems to be a big turning point for health. And I’m just halfway there. Damn patience is lacking in me at the moment . 
. Means I need to do recovery stuff
Have a great night or morning
