Day 62! Today was okay, I got offered weed for the first time since quitting both drinking and smoking and am happy to say that I said no, which was a big step for me. Going forward😁

Day 3…

42 days with no alcohol. I am approaching my previous “record”, though I hate using that word, and I’m getting a little anxious about it.

Day 464. Falling behind! I’m doing all my groups and appointments and daily tasks, but my other to-do list items are starting to pile up. To avoid inner screaming tonight I’m going to just call it, go to bed, and rest up for a “power Wednesday”.

But this pressure means I have opportunities, I’m building something, and there are things in my power to change about my life, so gratitude is still in order.

  1. Thanks for always inspiring me. All of you. From your first dayers to you with years in. From rock steady to wavering and close to collapse. We are all in this together. I don’t feel like working but I will go anyway. Sometimes (ofetntimes) we have to do things because we need to, not because we necasairilly want to. We might want to use but we need stay sober and clean instead. Because in the long run that’s what we really want to. I’m going to work because this way I can afford my trip to the USA in 41 days. I stay sober and clean because I can live my life and in active addiction I just destroy myself. Keep going all. @Soupspoon kom op. Let’s do this. Together. @beaniebun It’s just a number friend. Keep going. @Nvbookthief excellent work! Congrats on saying no. One craving, one temptation at a time right. @SoberWalker Success on your ear troubles Claudia. @050Nl Happy to see you Joost. Keep coming back here and keep slurping that soup! @everybody Thank you thank you thank you. Love from a persistent windy Amsterdam.

Happy belated birthday @bluejai, I hope you had a great day Jen! :confetti_ball:

Welcome back @Slipster 🙋 Try to learn from your relapse so you can avoid a new one. What can you do differently next time?

Welcome here @HP2020 and @thehungryswedeblog 🙋

:100::100: days @Francisco1 congratulations!! :confetti_ball::confetti_ball:

Then feel proud @Clarity! :facepunch: You just tackled that day!! Well done!

Any idea why you relapsed @Soupspoon? It helps to discover the “why” so you can move forward.

Thank you @Mno :pray:

Day 513 :coffee:
Confusing day yesterday at the hospital. But I decided to leave the worries behind me. I do not have to decide now if I want to get surgery or not.
So at first focus to get the inflammation gone.
No need to drink, no urge either, that’s something good! Went to the band rehersal and drummed it out of my system :drum:

Day 12
Today some dispute just at the beginning of the day at home . Only about stupid things.
Probably because I’m too irritable . Staying without alcohol makes me too susceptible at the beginning where I am now. Anyway after 10 minutes all was finished . I decided to have a walk of 4 km in order to calm me down . Now is better . Nothing compared to what happened when I was drunk . Now I am ready to go to work . May be next time I promise myself to try to count up to 2 (when I will arrive to 10 I will be a super hero ) before screaming !
Love you guys , have a sober day you all :heart:

Got an exam today that I’m ill prepared for.
Perhaps I should have sobered up when I got the course material. Oops.
Live and learn.
