A big day for me as it marks the longest I have ever gone without alcohol since I was 18 years old (I’m now 45)
It’s so strange because it really has been easy for me this time. It was like when I made the decision to remove alcohol from my life something inside me changed. In the past I’ve still had cravings here and there, but this time - nothing!
My one piece of advice would be to come off FB, it’s not real. I quit many years ago and now live a social media-free life (OK, I admit that I still have Pinterest as an online recipe book), second-best decision I have ever made after sobriety!
@acromouse. Courage my friend!!! You are doing so well in other areas!!!
thank you so much for the info. I have attended one time and I have to admit was nice but I am looking for a more theistic groups. I hope to find them.
@Jazzy I hope you feel better of your headache. writing here in the night is helpful, very helpful. Usually is the moment of the day in which I use this app
Don’t know how I can process getting out of this place at the end of this month. I am still unemployed and have no money. I spoke with the VA and they said I’d have to stay in the shelter for about eight months and then register as an in-need housing person (Section 8). It’s something. I haven’t lived in a home less than 1800 square ft in about 30 years. Housing is currently a big ouch anyway. HmmmmHah…
In other house news: My daughter brought home opossums last night. She was going to set them loose on this 5-acre property but got a call from work, a wildlife rescue, that they weren’t all properly released, so they came, in crates into the house overnight. Apparently, they were loud, but I didn’t hear them while I was sleeping.
Hello! I haven’t been here over a year because I thought I didn’t need to login here or get help, but I do. I’m seven hours clean from binge eating and shopping. It may not sound like much, but I’m proud.
Checking in day 714. Wrapping up the weekend. My bf flew my best friend in to surprise me for my birthday, so I had a really great weekend with them. I have two day work week and then heading out for a quick 5 day vacation im really looking forward to. Just wanted to check in, trying to get back into somewhat of a routine with that. Wishing everyone a wonderful sober week ahead
@Tragicfarinelli@CATMANCAM I’m the same way when it comes to crying. I think I’ve cried 3, maybe 4 times, since I quit drinking. Every once in a while a movie will catch me off guard, or a wedding or something, but when it’s my own life, I have to be past boiling point in order to produce tears. I feel like it doesn’t help anything either, so what’s the point Idk @Whereswaldo Congrats on 5 months! @Misokatsu Don’t worry, I don’t do that stuff all the time either Glad you had a productive day!

Pretty chill day. Definitely wanted to sleep longer, but we had to get moving and get over to my parents. We had a birthday lunch for my dad bc my brother goes to bed at 2pm so he can make it to work by midnight. Idk if I could have that schedule, kid or not! It was a short, but nice time. I was so tired when we got home I napped briefly and woke up with a burst of cleaning energy and then made a nice dinner. It’s still early so I think I’m gonna give my feet a well deserved pedicure It’s been over a year since I’ve paid for a proper one, but I have all the tools I need, as long as my back/neck holds up Have a great night/day/whatever your time is, lol!
I’m at my first stop in New Mexico! Only about 3.5 hours to go to Santa Fe. 8 hours in the heat was enough. So I got myself out of Texas and stopped for the night.
No drinking thoughts and I’m sunburned, fed and thrilled to be here.
