New here. 48 hours without a drink. One. Day. At. A. Time.
Welcome here, and welcome to your sobriety George! You’ve come to a great place for (peer) support. Big congrats on making it through the first two days, keep going odaat and you’ll never be stopped!
Welcome. Congrats on sober days. Read around and find what you can connect with. Let’s stay sober today and wake up for another sober day.
Day 2601
Tonight at a work function I was delighted they actually had a few very chic flavors of La Croix (sparkling water) on offer alongside the wine.
What was actually even more delightful was as I sipped mine, some colleagues were also excited. “Oh my gosh, they actually have hibiscus La Croix? That’s actually great. I dunno why drinking at work functions is even a thing.” They ran and got some. It made me smile. Both that I was sober, and to just see others happy not to drink.
And welcome in,@GABV! This place has helped me out so much. I hope you find that, too. ![]()

Checking in to focus on the positive.
I got myself some golden rings that fit on small fingers… I googled it and it is a sign for self love. To be on the save side I wear one left and one right. Looks cool.
I am grateful to be sober!
Odaat focus on the positive…
Much love ![]()

43 days sober and having a very bad body image day. Feeling very unattractive, lethargic and just sad for no reason. I know it’ll pass and I’ll probably wake up tomorrow feeling alright but man does it suck in the moment..

522 UPF
Slept well, still somewhat sleepy. Went for a walk to the bakery, going to get some work on my prototype done. Some todos and a rowing workout later in the afternoon.
More graffitti from the kids.
Peace and love always ![]()

Quiet day. Slept a bit after nightshift. Picked up the kids from school and hung out with them for a bit before it was time to head back to work.
Quiet at work so far, just some admin stuff that’s a bit of a drag.
Hey all, checking in on day 1914. I hope everybody has a good one ![]()
Thank you Jasmine! Today is a new day!
Checking in at the beginning of day 2. Feeling better than I did yesterday or any of the other non-sober days.
Have a great day/night all
Checking in 51 days! Everything went smoothly and I’ve got a clean bill of health! Yay God is all can say..even with all the drug, alcohol, and food abuse I still have my health. I am so grateful for this second chance at life! I slept sooo good last night! Lol I am too blessed to be stressed. The wait was long, about two hours, after we got there but it gave my church friend, Vickie and I, sometime to get to know each other and I finally go to meet her husband. I’m grateful for the ride and their friendship. Once I got called back it was in and out or it seemed and I got an all clear from the doc! I’m just relaxing today. No work till Friday ![]()
@Just_laura I didn’t realize they had a season. Feel like they are always around LOL. Last night was bad tho as it seemed the minute the scent started to fade BAM the area was sprayed again. WTF were they doing? I remember last year we saw three of them just chilling in someone’s yard and my mom actually thought they were kittens and was about to go pet them.
Grateful I stopped her LOL. Sorry about the allergies. I am suffering alongside you. Hope our noses survive all this blowing ![]()
@Moriah UGH sounds like a rough time. I’m sorry friend. It is just a phase and will pass. Stay strong through it. ODAAT! ![]()

Feeling conjested and tired. The skunk smell kept me up most of the night and has given me a headache. Coffee is tasting mighty nice right now.
Gonna get some sit down work done first as I gain energy to start moving. Going to be a busy day.
