Thank you 
Lots of hugs back to you 
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 
It’s hard to keep up here. But I try to read as much as I can daily.
Sending you love my friend 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

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.
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
Day 50.
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 
Love love love the number!! 🩵
Congratulations on 9 months!!

So happy I had today off My body really needed rest. My arms got tired from washing my hair! I’m gonna get some extra sleep tonight. Goodnight
Checking in at the end of day 30 woot-woot! 
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 
@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.
day 610
we made it! technically we made it last night, but our reservation was to start today. one of my aunts got us a night at a fancy hotel last night which i wasn’t expecting, but very grateful for!
we went shopping and got groceries for the house we will call home for a week. tomorrow will be a beach day, and then Wednesday we will go to the amusement park. im ready to settle into vacation mode. hopefully this week goes smoothly. 
So excited for u all! Have fun girl!
Clearly my son and DIL are very active in their addictions. All common sense has gone out the window.
Checking in day 360 AF
Back feels much better today. Got to see my boys today after work. They always make me feel better.
Heading to bed. Sleep well everyone!
That’s a great number Flo. Another month down and going strong 
@Danwood85 great work on staying sober through the stressful situation. Escaping with substances will never help and only lead to regret. Stay connected friend. Sending strength
@Jeanine you are so welcome. Thrilled to be celebrating your milestones with you. Congratulations in completing day 30 
@Scorpn have a great time on your vacation Renee. Hope you can relax and unwind.
@DanaM56 ah that sucks. Addictions really do play havoc for everyone involved. Glad you are in their lives now to show em a positive role model. Check you out with 360 days!!! That’s flipping awesome 
Quick check in

Wishing everyone a wonderful addiction free day/ evening. Sending you all so much love

@Danwood85 These two things are connected Dan. Keep checking in please. I know how big a part of keeping my sobriety this is. Connection to our peers. We need it. Especially in busy hectic times. Congrats on 50 days. Hugs.
Day 58
Been decent overall. Just kind of depressed the past couple of days.
Right now I’m just sad about my fiance passing away. Feeling/empty/depressed/frustrated. Current thoughts: why is it fair that we’re all given this temporary life, we all have to suffer, and witness the death of our loved ones until we’re left alone, and then die ourselves. What kind of existence is that, whats the purpose. How is it fair that we’re told we have to work every day of our lives pretty much until we die? Just struggling to find the point. And honestly its pissing me off. Yeah, there’s more to it than that but I’m really struggling existentially right now. Feel like im just drifting along, some shit happens to me, and then I have no choice but to keep going, and then some more shit happens, and it keeps going, and that’s it.
