I circled the first day of spring on my calendar. That’s like a holiday. I’m so happy for more sunlight and looking forward to the spring and summer months and being outside as much as possible.

Hi everyone, I’m so sorry I disappeared for a bit longer than I expected. I was getting burned out, and life just threw some curveballs my way, but I’m back! I’m celebrating my 190th day today. I have to admit, it was a nail-biter a few times. Thankfully, I emerged stronger than ever. I’m starting to get back into a routine and regain my energy. I’m incredibly grateful to be back. I missed you all so much. I know I’ve missed a lot, and I’ve made a promise to myself not to put too much pressure on myself to catch up on all the 700+ posts I’ve missed. The other half got stuck working a 16-hour shift unexpectedly, so it’s just me, my doggos, and Sir Jasper (the cat, and ruler of all). Maybe a late walk under the stars while it’s still warm. Sorry for the long post! Light & Love ALL

Happy 2 year sober birthday Leann.
I am so dang proud of you. Seriously proud of you. Knowing some of the shit you got to put up with sometimes during your home life and you still maintain your sobriety. You’ve certainly been tested. I know you will continue to preserve with your sobriety. Because I know you have learned it is the only way. And it doesn’t suck. It keeps getting better.
Much love
dear friend.Keep up the great work

Congratulations on your 2 years sober Trevor. You got knocked down a few times and you got back up again. I guess you needed that last knock down to finally turn it around. I’m so proud of you. It’s been wonderful having you here as part of my TS family. Your experience strength and hope is felt throughout this community I am sure. If not. Then someone is missing out on a sober treasure chest of hope. Keep doing what you’re doing my friend.
It’s taken me awhile to realize that I am not like everyone else and to not try and fit in. I’m just me. And I’m learning to be happy with that. Being sober makes that possible. No doubt you will get where you want to be.
So dang proud of you.
Thought you could use a few more balloons

Hello everyone!
DAY 184 AF – SIX MONTHS TODAY 
DAY 151 SMOKE-FREE
It’s six months today, and I must say this time around has been smooth sailing. The decision to get, and stay, sober has truly sunk in, and I no longer have to fight it; instead, I’m enjoying the journey and going with the flow.
I finally understand why I couldn’t type any emojis anymore 
now they’re back! I’m not much of an emoji person, but they do brighten up posts.
I have a busy day ahead, and I hope I can succeed in my cooking today and tomorrow. Everything else is going well; I’m staying focused on the present.
Today I am grateful for:
• Shopping
• Drinking plenty of water
• Eating apples
Wishing everyone a solid 24 sober hours!

Second day of my holidays. Staff dinnerparty was OK. As they go. It’s good I was there. I left early when most colleagues had gotten tipsy or drunk. Which didn’t give me a crave as such, but more an even bigger disconnect from them than usual. I felt like an odd duck in the ice hole (een vreemde eend in de bijt) to use a Dutch expression.
It takes a lot of time for me to feel at ease or at home in a group of people, especially as the group gets bigger. And I’m not there yet with this group. In the past I used to drink myself into believing I did belong on occasions like this. But looking back now that didn’t work at all, in fact it was the opposite. I just got away from the unease but I isolated myself even more when I was drunk. Never again.
So today is for myself. Nothing planned. Relax. I’ll see what comes across my mind and way. One day at a time and I’m going to make today as good a day as I possibly can. It will be sober and clean for sure, and I hope you will all join me in that. Much love from me and my town.
@tailee17 @bluekoolaid_88 Both huge congrats on your two years sober twins! Super work you two. (and sorry I got your name wrong yesterday Trevor. Don’t know what happened).
@Lucalds Six months is big friend. Congrats to you.
@poppyfairy Happy Birthday you!

Check in - I’m 54 days AF. So glad my sober days are gathering moss, and I’ve no cravings. Lots of stress, stuff going on at the moment. I think prior to my previous relapse I had mentioned here that I was moving / had moved into a new house. Well.. we will be selling again. Some repairs needed and staging to be done before I contact an agent to sell. I also have several health issues that are / need to be addressed. I’m grateful to be sober, I think if I wasn’t I’d likely stick my head in the sand and not deal with my health or the house.
Hope you all have a happy and healthy sober weekend

Good Morning, friends. We go again!
Day 61 AF.
Got a 60 day chip/badge as a reward for my sobriety. Feels good 
One chip is never enough, though. So I treated myself to a dinner/tea of good old fashioned British fish and chips with a side portion of curry sauce. 
Hope you all have an awesome sober Saturday.

@poppyfairy for someone who doesn’t have birthdays now you’re three days running!! Best wishes for the year! Your first birthday with a drivers license too! Maybe they really just wanted you to get old enough! Happy 11th I think!!
Sober Twins! You are both so awesome in your own right. Applaud you both for the effort and accomplishments you’ve made. You both have so much to look forward to sobriety wise/ life wise.
Everyone else. Congratulations on each day sober.
Hold it all close regardless of what’s going on around you. Always easier to handle the challenges and disappointments sober rather than not so.
Hang tough and stay close to here with your peers and friends.

Congratulations sober twins @bluekoolaid_88 and @tailee17!
Trevor - I worried like a mom when you went back out there. So glad you made it back. You’re such an inspiration. It takes what it takes for each of us to get and stay here.
Leeann - Your zest for a sober life is amazing! Some of the shit you go through in real life would lead many back to the bottle. Not you though! Keep up the hard work Sis. Don’t ever stop be the funny beautiful lady that you are.
