Congratulations 200 days soberā¦
Congratulations on your 300 days.
Day 10. Sleep is difficult, but I cleaned my room, set it up nicely and went to purchase a new warmer cover. Its lovely, soft and large.
Great job Day 10.
Spoil yourself a bit with nice things now and then. You deserve it.
Such a great reminder to always have for all of us. Great to see you checking in and hope - i agree that regular check inās are what help keep me on track and afraid of letting that voice win. ODAAT!
@climbin Sorry you are feeling so stuck. Great work on getting yourself out of debt. That is a massive step forward I am sorry if you were asking a question and not getting any responses. You are not alone friend. You are in a community that very much cares and appreciate you being a part of it. Sometimes the questions dont read as questions per se but thoughts for the universe. Life is full of hills and valleys and we have to find positive ways of how to deal with them. Finding real life support helps in these situations. Do you have a sponsor or therapist to talk to?
@Refreshedperspective Way to go on being honest and accountable in your journey. Resetting is not shameful - you are starting today and will work on protecting your sobriety. Keep up the solid efforts
YESSS!!! A thousand times yes! So powerful my friend. Great to see you not giving up on yourself and to continue to fight for you! Sorry the day started off in such a emotional mess but my goodness did you ever turn that shit around! Much love dear friend and so grateful for Him
@HolySquid Love it all and a bright spectrum keeps things lively and interesting - hope you had a wonderful time

Checking in on Wednesday night
679 Days free of alcohol and wed
1094 days free of cigarettes
Today was a long and tiring day but fun as I got to catch up with a friend. Grateful I did not indulge in any alcoholic beverages (even though I was very tempted at times). Managed to get a lot of shit done today and am now exhausted and hoping to get some sleep. Wishing for a full night but at this point anything will be welcome.
Wishing you all a wonderful addiction free day / evening - sending you all so much love
@Climbin Youāre not alone here. Iāve been following your story and know youāve been heart broken, but youāre still doing great. Iāve been single for over 3 years and sober for close to 2. Idk what advice to give bc my situation is much different. When I got out of the worst relationship Iāve ever been in, the last thing I wanted was a new one bc I had so much healing to do. It was the first time Iād ever been alone in my adult life(besides my daughter) and it was very difficult, but everything became easier once I quit drinking. At first it was uncomfortable to be alone with myself, but now Iām grateful this was the case bc I got to know who I really am without alcohol. I donāt believe it wouldāve been easy at the same time as entering a new relationship. Life can be boring, difficult, dull, frustrating, lonely, or add negative adjective here. Itās important we learn to deal with all that alone in order to move forward. And even then, thereās times you stand still. Life is what you make it. When you start focusing on all the positives instead of negatives, life looks better. Even if nothing else changes. All the best

The weather has been gorgeous, but I felt exhausted all afternoon. I think itās an allergy spike. Itchy eyes/throat, sneeze attacks, and a gross amount of mucus It happens every year when plants start decaying. Otherwise, work was good. Got out early enough to run a couple errands. Iāve had a running light out on my car for a while and didnāt think it mattered, until my brother told me theyāre also the high beam! I had no idea and didnāt even notice That day we found a headlight was out too!(that I also didnāt notice ) Naturally, I bought 4 bulbs so they all match. Itās something I need and will keep the old good ones as spares. So Iām set on headlights for a while Lots to do tomorrow before trick or treating so I should start winding down. Really looking forward to that extra hour of sleep this weekend. Grateful I no longer consider it an extra hour to drink Have a good one! Happy Halloween
Day 1110 AF
Sup, fam.
Went to a doctorās appointment this morning. Worked. Carved some pumpkins with the kiddos. Watched the World Series game. Gonna crash out. Gotta wake up early for the munchkins Halloween parade at their school.
Goodnite yāall. Another day in the books.
Peace. ODAAT Take care.
Day 4: Itās good to wake up without a hangover.
And Iām finally doing something other than working and drinking alcohol afterwards.
I had isolated myself because I prefer to drink alone. I scheduled drinking into my daily routine.
It was always the same procedure: work, drink, recover and start all over again.
And how I looked forward to opening the bottle! It was empty pretty quickly, there was no more pleasure.
Iāve observed myself pretty closely over the last few years and have become more and more honest with myself.
There were also these sudden mood swings that led to the odd argument with my boyfriend. Iāve said things that I wouldnāt say sober. That certainly caused the odd rift in my relationship.
Well done!! Such a wonderful place to be at.
Keep going strong
Thank you yes o have a therapist i talk to from time to time start new med soon will see how it works
Thanks I appreciate you and Jazzy LOL

My day was better yesterday. I told my managers about my wish to work closer to home, to be able to go to work on my bicycle daily and not have to commute for an hour. They were very understanding and offered help. While also saying Iād always have a job with them should it not work out. Which came as a surprise to me, someone who never could ask for help and always tried to do everything on his own. It moved me quite a lot. Iām still learning we actually are in this together.
Iām going to skip the experience workers meeting today. I need some down time. Still have an online evaluation with and of a trainee nurse to do this afternoon. Thatāll do for today. Iām going to have as good a day as I can and expect the same from you all. Letās make it sober and clean or nothing will come from it. Love.
Great to hear that. Hoping the new meds help. Keep connecting and remember that you are not alone
Thatās my life before I quit. Although the ārecoverā part got less all the time. Never again. One day at a time.
334 days
Dayshift today, kinda busy but man did the day seem to drag on for some reason. After work I got home in time to take the kids round the neighborhood for Halloween. In NZ Halloween never used to be a big deal, its been imported from America, but its cool seeing the kids get excited.
Beautifulā¦mold free and looking fantastic
Really is so much fun. Glad you were able to take the kids out. Hope you all had a wonderful Halloween
Iām at stage one of a official complaint with the housing commission. Iām going to let it rip. They still havenāt done the electrics and every time I question why two weeks has passed with no response or acknowledgement suddenly my coordinator has had annual leave . But the complaints people are legally bound to me now and canāt ignore me.
