It’s amazing what time does, true 
our minds are mendable, it just takes time. You have been here for a long long time, as have many of us. But look at what happens if you stick with it. Change for the better. Happy for you

Day 2033,
Haven’t checked in for a while. Just living life in life terms. Not always easy, but drinking is not an option. The urge is is gone and I don’t need it. That was taken away by working the program. Cirrently meetings are under review die to a young fellowship and a lot of drama sharing, so looking into what I can bring as well. But the message of getting the cotton out of your ears and just listen seems to be lost somehow

- I got a job offer today, fixed term for one year. I knew that when I applied… This is actually for the role where they said I didn’t attend the interview. They apologised profusely for a glitch, and today OFFERED ME THE ROLE! Pretty cool. Still awaiting news on the other two interviews, they are perm positions. So by the end of the month I can make some decisions.

Checking in day 925 AF 
. Today has been a difficult day for some reason. I am currently on holiday in a place i haven’t been to since becoming sober and I’m not sure if I’m associating this place with old memories and people (my dad) who’s been dead 8 years but we always holidayed here! I’ve really felt like wanting a drink. I won’t as this too shall pass but for anyone struggling I’m pretty sure my feelings are normal and that no matter how many days sober we are, we still have difficult days. I’m always grateful for this app and the continued support x

Checking in… again!
I had a good day at work, my boss is on holidays, so temporary there’s no new work coming in from his side 
I went to the gym after work and had a great time at body combat. 
Tomorrow I’ve registered for spinning.
Next week I’m on holidays, and I want to focus 100% on myself and my sober journey.
@JazzyS thanks for your kind words, Jazz!

Day 30 clean and sober
Today has been a good day, I have spent the day with my mum doing girly things shopping and pedicures and just having a really good catch up 
When she went home I thought it was supper hot and went to lay inform t of the fan on the bed …this was at 3pm next thing I knew it waking up at 5.45pm 
I must have needed the rest!
I’ve been to a meeting tonight and it was a good one . Felt good to talk things over and listening with others and to know my reaction at the weekend were normal in early sobriety and I got my 1 month coin
Tomorrow I’m having a day of just chilling out and me time …I need that I think
I hope everyone is having a good week and keep going on this journey we’re on together

@NewEnglander1970 I see Thriving may have been incorrect term but I see you doing so well and so proud of your journey. Sober and stacking up the days, Working diligently on your recovery with a positive attitude and Have done that jail term so are free of the past life - giving you space to work on your new life path. Hope you were able to make it to the noon meeting. Good luck with the projects (anything fun?)
@Kareness I think it is worth talking to the owner and voicing your concerns. Who knows - they may be able to be somewhat flexible with hours? It may also be helpful to make a pro / con list.
@Rob11 Hey Rob - so great to see you posting! Awesome work on your sober time. Hope you have been well 
@Tragicfarinelli YIPPEE - Just can’t contain my excitement. Fingers crossed on the other two positions. Hoping you are able to have a few options to sift through
@Seizetheday Thinking of you Hannah and sending you some comforting strength. Grateful you are leaning on us here. You do not have to go through this struggle alone. Grateful you know that this too shall pass 
One moment at a time. Hope you are able to enjoy your time and do fun sober activities that will help add new memories to associate to this place
@Puddingface33 YIPEE 1 month sober and crushing it 
Love some quality mommy time - glad you two were able to hang today
Checking in on Tuesday afternoon
At work and just slowly pushing forward. Luckily this space is take out only so no prolonged conversations as I really have 0 energy for that.
My throat has been feeling funky lately but I thought it was due to detox and now wondering if I may be coming down with something. Gonna add more raw garlic and ginger to help kill any bacteria that is planning on taking up residence.
So glad I turned on the AC when I left this morning as the new heat wave hit and brought its crazy humidity tag along. Luckily it is only supposed to last for a few days.
Not much else happening. Wishing everyone a wonderful addiction free day - sending you all so much love

Day 365 AF
365 days ago I finally gave up the fight. I gave up the lies I kept telling myself of “I have this under control” or “I am only going to have a few tonight”. It was always the same outcome, every single time, because I didn’t have it under control and I could never just have a few. It was always balls to the wall, blackout drunk for me. Next day having the worst hangover ever saying “never doing that again” to drinking later that day. I am so grateful I finally decided to be honest with myself and admit I have a problem with drinking.
I am so proud of all the work I have done over the past year but there is still a lot of work to do. Each day brings different obstacles and I know I can’t let up or let my guard down. Gotta keep taking it ODAAT.
This app and community has been such a blessing, so glad I found it. I am really thankful for all of you. Thank you for being on this journey with me and for your support. Don’t think I can say thank you enough.

Day 1612 clean and sober
Day 8 free from binge/disordered eating
Today hasnt been easy. Idk whats going on with me 
I was fine this morning. I attended my 12pm online meeting and then i got suuuuper fatigued. This seems to be happening alot lately. It could be dehyration as I dont really drink much water in the mornings (i like my coffee lol). But this fatigue seems a bit excessive. 6x today i stood up, got light headed, and my vision went black for like 2 seconds. I dont feel like Im going to faint or fall but I do have to stop and wait until my vision returns to normal. Google says that dehydration could be the culprit. Im drinking an electrolyte water now to see if that helps.
Im feeling like a failure bcuz Im lacking energy. Im such a busy woman, mom, and wife that when i cant do the things i want to do, i feel like Im failing my family. Especially my son. We havent done his physio lately and that bothers me a lot. I wasnt able to exercise either. I just have no energy.
Last night I did have a using dream and so I didnt sleep well. That could also be a reason for my fatigue. But idk. I might have to go with the flow here lol. Do all my stuff in the morning when i have energy and then take it easy in the afternoons.
I DID get up this afternoon tho to vacuum, sweep n mop the floors. I got the dishes done also. So thats something 
Hope tmrw is better
