Fifteen days without a drink or a smoke. I’m enjoying work and keeping busy when I’m at home. Sleep has improved, my diet has improved. The crap we eat when we drink is unbelievable. My outlook on life is better, it couldn’t be any worse than when I was drinking, I didn’t even have an outlook on life. I seem to be more conscious of everything around me.
Just taking it as it comes.
Day 56.
Horrible weather in Europe. Wind blows almost 250km= 155mi per hour. ( I used Google converter for you non metric animals )
Good day to stay home do some yoga and watch netflix. Stay safe and strong!
Also I’m out of tea so finger crossed for my journey to shop
Glad you’re here @Mno. I look forward to your daily check in and pictures! Keep stacking up those days!
I can’t say it much better than @Jane.c said. My heart hurts for you Beth. You’re working so hard! To have a home life like that is just so hard. Please find a way to stand up for yourself. For your sanity and physical safety! We’re rooting for you.
Day 33!
Been sober for a month. Being sober for me means stability. No more: what did I talk about to whom last night? Or: why did I got so drunk? No more hangovers,… a clear mind and body.
I hope this might help someone who’s struggling today. Just think of the good things sobriety can bring you
No matter who you are, what kind of situation you’re in I believe there ARE positive things about being sober! I know the demons in our head might say otherwise but it IS worth it!
i’m proud of myself. Over the last month I did have a few cravings every week. Thank god they go by real fast!
Maybe this check in helped someone.
Have a good one!
Thank you!
Huge Congrats on 6 months Conor!!
You’re doing awesome and I love you positive attitude.
Checking in on Day 202. Not totally out of the woods yet, but feeling a million times better than the past five days. One of my old bands is reuniting for a show on my birthday next week, and we only have two chances to practice…one of those being tonight, so I’m hoping it goes well, and quick, so I can get home and relax.
Have a strong day!!!
You’re doing all the right things @MrCade. I don’t have any great advice. Just try to hang in there friend. I’ll keep you in my prayers.
Simply beautiful
You said it. I arranged my beverages of choice so that I wouldn’t get headaches or serious hangovers for the most part, but I tended to wake up each day trying to reconstruct what I might’ve said or where I did what. What a bunch of bullshit. All that’s 3 weeks behind me now.
3 weeks is good man! Keep it going!
Waking up sober and clear minded rocks!
Maybe a stupid question but do you have cravings to on a weekly basis? How do you handle them?
Not this time. In the past I have which is why I’ve always folded. This time I came out with it (told people and my doctor that I want to quit) and I’m taking naltrexone (his idea, I’d never heard if it) which may or may not be helping with that—but whatever it is something’s working. Sober is great so far
Congrats on the better choice
Ooh okay! I’m not on any meds right now. This is my 3rd try staying sober. This time i did tell the people around me what was going on. That helped. Plus this forum is great! Feels nice to talk about these things to people who know what it’s like trying to be and stay sober.
Thanks!!
Nice work on 6 months bro!!! Great work!!
Sorry you are experiencing relationship troubles . Keep at it and hopefully things work out for the better.
Rock on!!!
Day 60; well done!!!
Day 36… day 28-35 were kind of rough so I took note and this week I am:
-Cutting out those giant 5$ cookies
-Adding cardio
-Not listening to sad music like Tswifts Dear John. on repeat.
Hope this helps and makes this week better! I think the sweets were giving me major anxiety.
My 1st check in. I have downloaded 3 apps to try to help get me through sobriety. I don’t have much support. Everyone thinks I should do and do for them which ia hard whwn you’re trying to clean up your act. It feels like they don’t care if it is something that I need ro do. Once I am clean I can ve tge better version of me in time. I am a disgusting version of myself and I am loosing all hope.
I hope i will be able to say a week, a month, a year, etc sober. It just doesn’t seem possible.
I feel alone in this struggle.
