Fantastic to hear, Lisa!
When I get the “wouldn’t one drink be nice” thought I just laugh because when did I ever have just one drink? Maybe the first time I drank aged 12 but not since.

Feeling slightly better today. Some of my symptoms seem to be subsiding. I am cautiously hoping the treatment might work after all.
Not much to do today. Getting IV infusions, reading, trying to walk a bit more.
Peace and love for life always

Checking in. 30 days AF, 3 weed free. I’m still at the psych ward which is nice because I’m safe in here. I have some weed withdrawals, anxiety, sweaty palms etc. but luckily I can deal with those in here. I’m gonna ask my doctor if I could stay in here until 27th Dec because Xmas is emotionally really hard. Luckily my doc described me pretty heavy sleeping pills, so I don’t have to worry about poor sleep. It’s really boring in here, so I’ve been mostly reading. I’m gonna re-read Tolkien’s books starting with Silmarillion, then Hobbit and last LOTR. Should be fun. I have also watched some series, but because I don’t have my earphones with me, it’s pretty stupid to watch them without a decent sound, so books it is. I’m feeling really sad at the moment, regretting all my past mistakes and missed opportunities while being wasted for decades. I know, I shouldn’t be too hard to myself, but I can’t help it. But my attitude towards sobriety is strong, feeling really good to be sober. ODAAT. I hope you all have a great day/evening!

Day 1,649 clean and sober today. Yesterday and last night were really tough for me. I miss my family a lot and the sadness and loneliness cuts deep at times. I haven’t hurt like that for awhile. I do always carry the weight of their deaths but sometimes it hurts more than others. Anyway I spent some time distracting my myself last night with some hobbies and went to bed. Today is a new day, love you guys

@Mira_d sending love my friend. This sounds like a terrible position to be in, especially in the holiday season. You do need to look out for you and your family and do what’s best. I wish you luck as I’m sure it’s not easy. Sending love your way 
@Kareness hope all goes well for you with work. Sounds stressful. Hope you can find ways to decompress at home and practice some self care
Sounds like a fantastic plan. Don’t be so hard on yourself. Getting through the day sober is a huge accomplishment and in the early days this took up all my energy and time. The brain fog didn’t help matters any either 
. You are doing great and still have time to get things bought/ wrapped. Breathe easy my friend. 
@TeaCosy yeah- 2 weeks off after today. Hope you are able to get that link to work. Glad you aren’t hiding your recovery. It really is something to be proud of. Grateful to have spaces where this is acceptable and encouraged 
@acromouse glad you are feeling better. 
. Hope your symptoms continue to improve
@MrMoustache congratulations on your 1 month milestone. Reading is a great escape. I think it’s wise to stay through till 27th to get through the triggering days and hopefully gain some good tools and a good foundation. It is hard not to dwell in the past and the what ifs but maybe you can counter those thoughts with your positive actions of sobriety. We can’t change what has already happened but we can show ourselves a new addiction free path of life. ODAAT
@Rockstar24777 I’m sorry Rob. Sending you hugs and comfort. Here if you need to talk.
@Whereswaldo congratulations on your 9 months. That’s fantastic 
. Keep up the great work 
Checking in on Wednesday morning
Slept okish. On and off most of the night. My headache is on the intense side but not a migraine so it’s a plus.
Gonna get some coffee and see if I can get this day started.
Wishing everyone a wonderful addiction free day - sending you all so much love

@Heath what a wonderful post that is. It brought me to tears. I hope you’re able to tell your wife too. It’s a beautiful proof of love and your own growth in sobriety. I’m so glad you start to see the real person of yours.
You deserve to be the best version of yourself for yourself and everyone around you.
Keep staying connected with us Ewan. Don’t worry about that number 14. Stay with us and take it one day at a time. You’re doing brilliantly.
Have a wonderful sober holiday time

I’m glad to hear you’re getting help and feel safe in your environment. It sounds like this could mark a good start into your sober journey. Hope you can begin with some kind of therapy in hospital that will help you on your way. Stay strong and positive David. We’re herefor you.

Today marks 110 days AF. Last time I slipped at 109. I made it passed!! Im here despite my personal ups and downs. Alcohol steals ones potential. If i hadent of quit drinking I wouldnt be moving into my new ‘own’ place! 
For me this is a huge accomplishment… to go from being a homeless street kid , living through different fases in life (some not good) and then being able to graduate school , get my diploma and now make enough to afford my first place in a while all by myself. Standing on my own fists clenched in pride knowing that I did it. #fuckaddiction #fuckalcoholism
