Onto day 4. Have to keep going. I havent made it past 2 weeks for many years but I have a lot to lose and a lot to gain by no longer drinking. Im finding others stories, people with months, years sober very impressive. Just want to be free from all of this self loathing. I am sick and tired even now. I didnt even much have physical symptoms this time due to my recent 2 weeks off but mental/emotional symptoms are kicking my ass. I hope I can manage to do something positive today.

Another big day. Donāt know how people do this mon-fri 8am-5pm stuff haha. Im too conditioned to shift work after so long.
Today was day 3 of teaching this course. Plenty of practical stuff and some hard truths relayed to some trainees.
Tomorrow will be a step foward and more technical, another big day mentally and physically gor everyone

Day 10! Double digits. Feeling present and sober.
Mentally Iām reminding myself that for today I choose to stay sober. That Iām powerless over alcohol and I will always end up back in that downward spiral.
One day at a time.
Our doughter is slowly beating her stomach bug that has been keeping us busy 
We came close to having to go to the emergency room so they could check up on her and possiy give her fluids through an IV. But thank god she finally started to drink some water and before bed some milk.
This morning sheās doing better than yesterday. So thatās a relief!
Anyway. Have a great wednsday. Or as great as possible.

Ha I feel you! Been working in shifts for 8 years now. Morning (6am - 2pm) and evening (2pm - 10pm) shifts.
It has itās advantages and disadvantages but I wouldnāt want to go back to a 9 to 5 kind of job anytime soon.
Wishing you all the luck today!

Stay connected and keep this mindsetā¦you will keep pushing forward. 4 days is awesome work. Remember the urges donāt last forever. Taking it one moment at a time and staying busy helped me to get another sober day in the books

Good morning my favorite people. Checking in on Day 12. Rough night as my lovely dog decided to put a hole in our air mattress so I slept in my yoga mat (we tried everything to patch it.) Needless to say Iām hurting today. Iām going to try and keep it out of my mind as there is literally nothing we can do about it for a week and a half (back to going paycheck to paycheck since the move and adjustment) Anyway Iām done whining now. Hope everyone has a fantastic day

I love that photo. Something very pleasing about that perfect parking and the colour of the busses.

Blue is the color of all our public transport vehicles in the area.
The suspension train, the busses, and the city cabs.

Well, here I am back on day 1. Hour 1.
There is one group in my life whom I havenāt admitted that I am sober to, and once again I met them and decided to drink. That kicked off 3 days of bad behaviour and Iām pretty low right now.
I see them again on Friday and this time Iām telling them Iām done for good. Crossing that rubicon is going to be hard because that really will be it, the last door to alcohol closed. Then itās just me and my sobriety.

Yet another sober day. I am not sure if itās jet lag caused by early recovery or if itās only too busy at work but I definitely fell a bit fatigued. And I even relaxed the last weekend. Rest is needed. Maybe brains are taking it back and recovering.
