Thank you. This isn’t my first attempt at recovery but hoping it will be my last. This seems like a super community and I look forward to participating and mutual support.
I joined TS two years ago, made it 32 days, then started drinking again. I decided 13 days ago to try again. There are some great tips on here, have a look around the chats and I’m sure something will resonate with you.
Congrats on your 13 days. I really look forward to being there.
@Alicat22 thank you, I truly appreciate the support. Looking forward to a peaceful, rainy afternoon
13 days is excellent. You are probably processing a lot of things at night, and your body is hard at work repairing itself. My nights are much calmer now, overall. Takes a long time, but you’re at the point now where the big rewards start coming in. It’s worth the wait. I’m so glad you’re here with us! Welcome
Welcome Asp! Day 1 is by far the most important day. Your last Day 1. Looking forward to walking the sober road with ya, take care!
Go Adam Go!
And welcome to TS
Welcome! Glad u found us

Hey everyone! Having the good kind of anxiety! My move in date is 2 weeks away! I’m getting things done little by little such as changing my mailing address with all the businesses that require it. Also slowly packing some stuff and deep cleaning my room at the group home! It’s super messy but I am so very excited live in my very first apartment! Also, more good news: a company here in nh has chosen to help furnish my apartment for free! Can you believe it? Im grateful! I chose color and styles and they’re going to surprise me with a surprise on my move in day. It’ll be the first time I see what they did to make my apartment look like my home! Sooo excited!!!
Day 10
No shopping
Day 14
No binge eating
Sunday afternoon hello. Solo parenting day, with my wife resting for a night shift. Having a great daddy-daughter day with lots of park and playground time. Little miss is having a nap, and I’m starting a new book at the moment, listening to the baby monitor as usual.
Lovely to have had two decent sleeps in a row, and gone through 3 social plans so far staying sober this weekend. Life is better sober, and I’m glad to be staying on course these days. I’m gracious to be getting lots of compliments about looking fit and younger these days - surely a welcome side bonus of leaving my heavy drinking days behind.
Day 1051 AF
Sup, gang.
Lazy Sunday. Woke up tired today. Coffee didn’t help. Brought the little man to the park for a bit and then headed to the grocery store.
Nothing new to report.
Have a great sober day, fam!

This notion made all the difference throughout my recovery Some days, sober is enough

I’m not normally a fan of black teas, but I dug out some old Oolong to replace my morning coffee and it was a pleasant change It also kept my momentum from yesterday going so…yay tea! Work was great. The boss is on a girl’s trip for the next few days I’ve realized I feel the same way around her as I did my narcissistic ex. Constantly walking on eggshells, contemplating my every move with caution, and never knowing what to expect next. Straight up draining. But not today! The tension left the building and was replaced with chill vibes only
After work, I was finally able to go shopping. I’ve been low/out of so many things bc I haven’t been able to buy bulk/backup products the way I used to. Grateful I was actually able to buy everything I needed in the biggest size available so it’ll be longer before having to replace them.
I was really hoping to make it to the pool for it’s last day tomorrow, but the weather looks too cold. We are having a picnic lunch at my folks for Labor Day, so that’ll be nice. I bought everything for smores Then we’re driving out to meet my exes roommate at their apartment to pick up more(if not the rest) of my daughters stuff. Still not too worried about his situation, especially since making it thru the summer without him. He knew what he was doing. He’s getting what he gets I’m off to bed so I can enjoy my whole day off. Goodnight
