Checking in daily to maintain focus #8

I survived the party
Went to the meeting and after the meeting I went back to the party. Didn’t tell anyone I go to a meeting… I don’t think most of them noticed I was away for 1,5 hour… they where under the influence
Party is over now, but can’t sleep… to much cola… LOL normally I don’t drink that because of my diet.
It’s 01:37am in The Netherlands and now I am watching UFC… the voice of Bruce Buffer… iiiiiiitssss tiiiimmmmeeeeeee! Goosebumps!!!
I really like all kinds of martial arts. I want to see it live! I hate it when I know the results of a match, so I don’t check in on social media etc. the experience of watching a match live is totally different than when I know that there is ko in round 3 or who wins the fight. For safety I’m also recording it in case I fall asleep

Don’t know what I’m going to do when I wake up… Not much I think… it was a busy week.

Wish you all a sober Sunday!

Edit: 7 whole days clean!!!

1 year!!!

Id intended to write a big share at one year, tell my story I guess. Having thought it through I’ve changed my mind. The important parts can be summed up pretty quickly.

One year ago I hated myself. Life was miserable and painful and I didn’t want to live it anymore. Somehow I realised that I was worth more and deserved better. On a bleak hungover Sunday I accepted that I had an alcohol problem and decided to put everything I had into sobriety. Make it my focus and priority. Do or die. I posted ‘Day 1’ here and started reading. A year later I dont drink and I don’t hate myself.

It’s been really difficult and I still have a lot to work on. Infact life and this recovery process has thrown some real curve balls at me recently, but I am so grateful for the life I have now.

TS has been a huge part of my recovery and I thank this community dearly for the help and support it has given me.

You are all worth it👍

Can’t believe how fast the days have gone by so far… It seems like every day is dragging by but when I look back it feels like I was only at a week just yesterday. I just hit 40 days and I feel so proud of myself to make it this far. I’m determined and taking it day by day and going with the flow… I’m trying not to push myself too hard or give myself too high of goals to quick. As usual congrats to everyone else on knocking down another day! Reading everyone’s comments always gives me so much hope, so thank you to everyone for making me feel not so alone.
