Hey pals! I’m 17 days in and it’s one heck of a rollercoaster! One minute I feel fantastic and full of energy and the next I’m overcome with emotions. But this time instead of blocking them out with alcohol I’m accepting that it’s a part of the healing process and just being human I guess! So onwards and upwards! One step at a time

Thank you! Oh for sure, reading and podcasts as well as writing have been an absolute godsend! And for once I can see the positives of social media and forums such as this in bringing people together who otherwise would never have this much support! Keep up the good work!

My sister visited. I opened a bottle of wine for her last night. It was still there today, just one glass gone. I thought about it a lot today. Then I poured it down the sink.

Checking in… 10 days sober today. So inspired by everyone with so many days under their belt and longing for the day I’ll be able to say the same. But for now, just taking it one day at a time.
Best wishes to everyone… let’s keep going!

Sober day 311. Grumpy old lady chainsmoker is gone from work. All is well. I am ready to move on, and pick up whatever slack she left.
I think that having a good relationship with coworkers has a major influence on how I feel outside of work. I’d rather make less money and be in a place I like, than be making more money and hate myself and my life everyday. Although I have my price, same as everyone else.

End of the day, feeling ok, a little blah but still sober. I missed my SMART recovery meeting today because it was midday and I was swimming in my work. It’s funny how my mind sinks into work and forgets about my plan, my boundaries. I had the meeting on my schedule & overlooked my to do list for the day, just swum in what came up.
I’m going to bed early, going to have a good night’s sleep. I will review my to do list for tomorrow when I get up, focus on getting the key tasks out of the way in the morning so I’m not scrambling later in the day. Recovery meeting is after work tomorrow, which should make it easier.
Here’s to another day of learning how to be sober!

Day 16 and I’m starting to get in a groove. Doing small house projects after work (instead of the bar), cooking dinner then relaxing. Today was hanging blinds day, tomorrow who knows!

I had a reset recently and am back on day 22. I was well over 90 days before. I hated it but sucked it up and started over.
