Hoping for a better day, going to see a friend! Slept well last night so I’m feeling ok today. I think I have some infections so I’ll have to go on more antibiotics and probably iron for the anemia. Urges are still really strong so I hope seeing a friend will distract me enough!
Sorry for your loss! Yes you can do it! You can stay sober alone! Don’t give yourself an inch! Keep stacking those day!
Hello from PNW 13 days and counting!
Checking in 200 days THC free! I had a follow-up appointment with my doctor yesterday and all looks good. My vitamin D levels are low so I’ll be taking supplement. All other levels are good, thank God! Work work work
Checking in on day 20 AF! I am grateful that each morning I wake up feeling a little more level. I slept well last night. Husband has a long work day today, so I am hoping to be a little productive around the house. The first two weeks were definitely difficult, my energy was so low- I am starting to feel some energy come back. I also just feel happy today.
Two hundred! ![]()

Checking in on another busy day packing. Moving isn’t very fun.
I slept in a little. I’m tired.
I feel good. I woke up feeling a bit overwhelmed. Followed by feeling grateful that Im not living in this fixer upper anymore as strange noises were coming from my tweaky neighbors.
Not gonna miss them.
I keep drifting down memory lane while im working.
Mostly good memories here because not a drop of booze entered my bloodstream while I was here.
Feeling
percent grateful that I have been able to change my life for the better.
Day 763 AF,
Beautiful sunny day out. Played some ball with our dog before heading out for a needed haircut, then some dog treats, followed by a few groceries then capped off with a great massage. Home, play more ball, unpack groceries, made lunch now deciding on remainder of day.
It’s either gym or vacuuming and some more cleaning up. I’m leaning into the cleaning a bit more than I can really chill and focus on more self care time.
Decided, thanks everyone for your helpful ear. ![]()

Day 21
Tough day
Obsession about alcohol
Obsession about managing cravings without asking for help
Evening routines
My youngest daughter leaves on a trip
Quiet evening reading
Im just reading your post, and it gives me anxiety just by reading it. To me my home is my kingdom and castle, it’s the place where I need to feel safe. If that is disrupted by external issues, it stresses my out a lot. I don’t know if there’s a solution to the problem without reprisals from your neighbor, but I just hope you can find some peace in your own 4 walls… ![]()

I hope you can get some rest tonight!
I wish I could give you a more constructive advice, but I can’t. Just that I feel you! I hope things take a turn for the better! So unfair!

@Madds My deepest condolences to you and your family. Glad ur still looking after yourself even tho u have ur husband to take care of aswell.
Day 110 AF. My longest streak since probably 2007. When I actually think about that last bit, it makes me sad. Oh well. The past is in the past. Happy and grateful to be where I am now. Grateful for every one of you, even if we may never have personally corresponded on TS. Reading everyone’s successes, failures, struggles, support given, and stories has benefitted me immensely. Thank you all.
Here’s to the next sober milestone ![]()
Warmest regards.

Day 5 checking in
I had a terrible night’s sleep, a busy day and it ends with a pounding headache. But I am PMO free for 5 days. I’m still not back to my place of presence. I miss it. I think work stress and life busyness is the cause. I went swimming which was a real help. Day off tomorrow I hope to continue to wind down.
Day 13.
First sober Friday after a full week of work and man I would KILL for a beer right now. Not really much to keep me occupied which isn’t helping. Read a whole book since getting home and still I keep looking at my phone and wondering if I just dont tell anyone then its basically like I never drank right? Makes me feel so weak to sit and think about how much a beverage takes over my thoughts. I want to talk to my friend who knows im trying to stay sober but shes very busy and I don’t want her to feel like she has to take care of me and neglect her own stuff. Just got to power through I guess. Just need to stay strong enough to get tired and make it to tomorrow.
