Day 143.
Last time inebriated by alcohol was in January.
My 13.5 month old daughter just finally started to sleep well and consistently at night in the last 2 weeks.
This combination of being sober for a long time, and getting decent sleep has me experiencing brain fog lifting, and I have better stamina to push through my days. So glad to be finding this.

Better late than never for quitting booze!

Day 36 :white_check_mark:

I don’t know why I feel like this but I feel like my whole life needs a do over. IV failed at everything and I need to just change everything and be different.
I feel ov wasted my life and now it’s too late.
Mid life crisis?

I don’t know.
All I know is sober is how it gets better.
I feel like every thing needs changing everything is wrong.

One day at a time dear Twizzlers. Small steps. Three steps forward, two steps back. And all that jazz. You’ll get there. We’ll get there. Sober. Together. Hugs and love friend. :people_hugging: :heart: :people_hugging:

Thank you :blush:

Lots of hugs back to you :hugs::hugs:

Thank you for reminding me small steps and one day at a time. Stopping the thoughts I’m having - they only lead to more sadness and silly decision making.

Hope you are doing okay yourself :pray:
It’s hard to keep up here. But I try to read as much as I can daily.

Sending you love my friend :hugs: I’m sorry your addiction mind is making you feel this way. You have not failed! You are in fact winning as you stack up the days. Early sobriety is the hardest thing i’ve ever done!

Our addiction has already taken so much. Don’t let that poison manipulate your thoughts. You are doing great friend. ODAAT :muscle: :heart:

Forgot to check-in last night. Started to, got distracted and didn’t finish up.
Can’t shake this cough, daughter has it now too so she’s home from school. Wife reckons I need to rest I’ve been low level sick and just pushing through for a while, so I took my nightshifts off, shes right they would have kicked my arse.
I’ve been on leave from work but still busy with family and life stuff. Keen to get back to work, its probably coming up a month since I was on duty last.

I don’t do much daily checking in these days, but this seems like a nice checking in point.

Three years and 10 months

I don’t think anything is wasted if you are learning or growing. It would be an oddly staid life if we just did everything perfectly from the get-go.
But I do understand the feeling. Sending strength and wisdom. :purple_heart:

Hey all, sorry I haven’t been checking in. I’ve been really stressed with work and had some family issues going on. I want to escape. I feel like my brain is struggling. Anyway, tomorrow is another day and I’m grateful for being sober.

Hope you’re all well :pray:

Sorry man. Hoping things mellow out for you. Mental stress can suck the energy right out of you.

Wow have I ever missed alot of checkins from others today. Its been a busy day. My son stayed home from school due to an eye issue. I made an appt for him to see the eye dr in the afternoon. After that we went to the mall to pick up a fathers day gift and then to the pharmacy to get his prescription filled. My husband worked sooo late today so we didnt eat until late. Surprisingly enough though I wasnt very hungry. Im just looking forward to a nice hot shower and a good sleep. I really need it. And I still havent heard back from the nurse scheduler about who is going to replace our full time nurse. Im getting pretty anxious about it. Just taking it one day at a time tho, like everything else. Hope you all have a great night :butterfly:

Checking in at the end of day 30 woot-woot! :smiley: It took me a year and a half to get back here and it feels GOOD!

@JazzyS Coming here everyday checking in, ready other’s posts, and getting support as you give to each one of us has been invaluable! Thank you :slightly_smiling_face:

@acromouse Thank you so much for your support. I’ve been gearing myself up for the salesman’s return. He’s a smooth talker but I’m not buying it.

Not much going on today. Just back to work. Hope all are well and have a good night.
