Thank you so much for all of that. I’m gonna look into That thread!! I did have a good weekend full of rest and relaxation.
Telling my story is the most frightening thing for me and I don’t know why. I know it’s mine and can be told as I see fit, but I still feel as if there’s a right and wrong way to share it. Watching others speak is so inspirational but it’s a skill I struggle to learn. Sending you love my friend, Happy Monday
I was able to do the same and it felt pretty damn good. Sometimes it’s one moment at a time. But we’re here. I’m always here if you need
@s_unrelax hey friend…how are you doing?
@Techno_Tequila much love friend. Yeah to your double 6’s. 
You are stronger now and have used your tools to get through some wobbles. I know how nerve-wracking travel can be in early sobriety. You will have us in your pocket. Take a good book and music / downloaded videos to keep you entertained at the airport. I stayed away from the bars / restaurants and lounges. You can join us on the Traveling Sober thread and share your journey. You will be making nee memorable experiences which is the beauty of travelling sober
@MrMoustache sorry about the poor sleep. Hope you will get time to rest or nap today. Good luck with your meeting today 
@Marieke whoohoo 
6 months is awesome! Keep shining bright 
@acromouse so lovely to have you back - you were missed. Grateful that you are feeling well and able to enjoy beautiful travels.
@BriCrowe much love friend. Hopefully with time you will be able to share and feel less of a struggle in telling your story. Hope you are having a wonderful start to your day.
Checking in on Monday morning 
Slept like crap and feel.like I could stay in bed all day. Not today. Got a busy day ahead. After my morning coffee and TS I will hit the gym to start the day off right.
Wishing everyone a wonderful addiction free day…sending you all so much love 
I am so sorry 
Sending my condolences 
Good afternoon guys. We go again! 
Day 190 AF.
Day 9 no vaping.
Not much to report on, no major triggers or potential triggers coming up.
Keep it sober and clean and be kind to yourselves. 
Day 56 
Have a great week everyone 
Thank you, I might just join you on that thread 
and I have already downloaded loads of true crime podcasts - I find them really relaxing. I’m sure there’s something Freudian going on there. Well done you on being so consistent with your fitness. I need a rocket to get me out of bed at the moment. X
Happy Monday. I’m having early breakfast out on my front porch, psyching myself up for another big day of parenting and housework. There are no easy days. There are no easy hours. It’s all on me to stay focused, stay strong, make my own happiness, and keep the big picture in mind. The idea of consuming alcohol is back to repulsive to me. No desire to go there lately. Glad to be here checking in with you.
Take care of yourself.
Checking in quickly. I woke up feeling good today. I got behind on getting ready haha so I had to rush.. I’m donating some food items to the pantry today so I feel good about that. Last night’s meeting was a great one. Yesterday alone was great. I got to see a good friend which made my day
Hoping everyone has a great Monday!
Checking in on day 15! Laced up my Jordan’s this morning ready to walk into work without my anger despite dreading any interaction with my director. Just been praying for the anger piece to be taken away from me but I still believe what he is doing to us at work is wrong and I can pursue solutions peacefully.
I managed to go to lunch with friends yesterday at a bar and watch football without drinking. I had some slight cravings but I got some food in me and once I ordered my diet soda I was good to go. Came home and relaxed with tv time and my Nintendo switch on the couch before getting a good nights rest to start my week.
Wishing everyone a peaceful and sober Monday!
Day 92 sober and clean 
I have just got back from my trip, I’m so tired and can’t wait to get in my own bed ….but what a weekend it been , music , dancing, swimming , bowling , go karts, archery, races & a silent disco ….you name it I did it . And not a drop of booze has crossed these lips on the process . And no drugs either.
I’m incredibly proud so, o have followed my programme to the letter but what I’m most proud of is that I didn’t let anxiety of staying sober take away from the magic of the trip… which with my over thinking brain I thought might happen .
But it didn’t I let go and went with the flo and causally didn’t drink and no body really cared after the first couple of interactions .
Back to reality now , prepping for work and just having a nice early night . Getting back to my routine 
Love to you all sober fam x
32 day check in sober.
Checking in on day 380. I have such a lot going on at the moment, like everyone else - we keep going and getting through though.
The picture is of flowers I bought my cousin yesterday for her belated birthday. Infact i bought four lots of flowers 1 lot each for my 2 cousins who are sisters and whos birthdays I missed due to being on holiday. They also got a cake and card each. Even in their 50s I still have to make them both the same.
My stepmother also got flowers as she recieved some dreadful news and me being me just dont know what to do apart from be there for her.
My wife got the remaining flowers and a cake also as she was with me when I bought the others.
Hope you all can try and have a good day today.
Well done @Puddingface33 its a great achievement having an action packed weekend and doing without drink/ other drugs must be a great feeling for you. You should be proud of this massive victory. 
Checking in day 987 AF 
Day 1674 clean and sober
Day 2 free from compulsive eating behaviors
Monday is going well. It was a slow start though. I had to force myself to get up. But once I was up, I felt my motivation kick in. My son and I went to Dollarama and the grocery store nearby to get a few things for cheap. Then when my husband comes home, Ill head to Walmart and get the rest of the groceries.
I already vacuumed, put away the clean dishes, and folded laundry. Got a few more things to do, plus attend an online meeting, and i will have completed everything that I set out for myself today.
Theres no complaints about my recovery from drugs and alcohol. Thankfully, I havent had a craving or urge in ages. So grateful that the obsession has been removed for me. But my disordered eating is a work in progress. On day 2 again. I basically have to be constantly self aware of what Im eating and why. Hopefully this will become more 2nd nature bcuz right now it feels like a ton of work lol.
Hope everyone has a great day! Much love to u all!
2nd check-in
I had today my first psychologist’s appointment and it went really well. She seems to be such a nice and a professional psychologist. My diagnosis evaluation is gonna take several months but I’m ready and so motivated. I’m also glad I’ve been sober for a while, so I have a clear mind to tackle the evaluation’s challenges. After the appointment, my day has been good. I have financial issues which are causing a little bit of stress and anxiety, but I know everything’s gonna be okay in the end. I took a lovely nap and now I’m just lying in my comfy bed under a warm blanket listening to music. I’m about to make coffee and just keep chillin’.
32 going on 33 days- feeling good! Super busy- BUT it’s a good busy. Crohn’s test came back not great but staying positive! Reminding myself that it could always be worse and to enjoy each and every day.
Day 60 thanks guys and you know who
Congratulations on 6 months x
