Day 13
Good day ! The more time passes , the more I am happy to found TS. Reading here is very helpful to me , and knowing step by step the stories of the people here gives me many things : I am not alone to fight my battle at every time of the day , I can click here and find help 24/7 . I can see here so many things through your stories that are same happened to me; but learning from your stories makes easier to understand who I am . I think is same process that I find during AA groups, but with TS I can have it every moment I need it . This is really useful, let me say priceless for an alcoholic like me.
That’s why I thank all of you to be here helping me .
Have a strong day friends , together we can win.

Today has already been difficult. I am on day 30 (would have been day 54, if it wasn’t for a two-drink mistake in Jan).
This morning one of my old partying buddies messaged me, wondering why I am off-grid and wondering if I want to go out next week.
He had ‘heard you was going sober’ and said he knew ‘that can’t be right, lol’.
I informed him he was right and would be more than up for going out for a meal or a gig etc and don’t mind if he drinks and that I am not drinking ‘at the moment’ (I only need to stay sober for ‘today’, right?).
That was a hard message for me to write.
75% of me wanted to say, ‘hell yeah, let’s get ripped’. But the remaining 25% of me wanted to protect my sobriety at all costs - it won through.
I am scared because I cannot guarantee that it will be my response every time, but it was my response today and it is today that counts the most.

I feel exactly the same as you on this @Girlinterrupted. I’m gutted that beardy has gone…I posted in the morn yesterday whilst I was at work and only checked in intermittently. I totally missed what was going on with him and I’m sorry for this. I hope he will be ok? He really helped me with his contribution on here and I hope he comes back.

How did your exam went? Do you have to wait long for the results?
How happy I am for you that your daughter has got her own place now @Girlinterrupted
Less stress ahead!! I hope it will help to get your relationship with eachother better in time. I had a lot of quarrel with my mom when I was young. So moved out when I was 17 and that helped with our bonding trough time.
You go @Blondie 
Hang on @Jane.c. Have you ever tried a natural anti depressive like St. Johns wort? Ore 5-http?
days in your pocket @Desire2ChangeToday!! Well done!
Tadaaahhh!! 
30 days it is @Samantha88jean!! Congratulations!!
@beardy/ @anon65470292 I guess you’re gone 
I hope you will be back soon to read the comments here. I hope you stay on your recovery path. Sorry about your struggles, but leaving isn’t gonna help…so come back!
Is it possible to prospone the appointment? Your still in the beginning of your sobriaty @HP2020, it sound tricky to me. For me I avoided all alcohol related events the first 3 months, that helped me a lot. That first months I filled my weekends with long walks in nature, working out in the gym and watching Netflix. And…as important too: I stripped my house from alcohol!
Well done @bluejai!! 2 months down Jen!!
Congratulations and keep them coming!!
Had to read your message at least twice to understand what you were saying @Dolse71.
Serious? You have to deal with a lot! 
How are you holding?

Hi Blondie, I am scared of the response (or even the lack of a response), but I will let you know 
Day 514 
Went to a sushi restaurant yesterday with my family. A belated party for my son and my birthday because we had to prospone it because me being sick. Funny how I noticed myself still being focused of what everybody is drinking. Old habits die hard? My son asked me if I wanted sake. He had forgot I stopped drinking because he was abroad for 6 months. I refused but I felt my mind making a kind of buzz. Got to stay always alert!
Hope you all have a good day today, let’s give it all to make it as good as it gets!
Be as my cat: chill beside every circumstances

Don’t be scared or get yourself to wound up about it. I have come to realise that if they don’t want to be with you when you are sober then they really don’t know you at all nor do they deserve a slot in your life. I know this sounds harsh but people that don’t want to mix with us sober don’t deserve us. If he is a true friend he will jump at the chance of a catch up with you. We loose people sometimes in this healing process but there are new people out there for us to gel with ones that stronger more genuine friendships are forged with. You got this my friend…it will all be ok, keep me posted

Hello.
It went fine in the end.
2 hr exam done in 30 minutes and the result was instant, pass, 75%.
I either knew parts already or somehow managed to retain what I’d bothered to read of the learning material.
Stoked.
