Wonderful to see your 4 years of sobriety but even better is a post I could have wrote myself, I agree with everything, appreciate and understand everything and know that if the miracle lives in me is exactly the same as the miracle that lives in yourself then it’s there for anyone who puts their mind into the process of not picking up for one day….. Well done again.

@Louloubelle I decided to go all in, just water, no other drinks (I suppose it helps a lot that I really do not like coke or something like that 
)

5y 11m 17d- good shift last night nice to chat with a fellow sober warrior about how life is treating each of us and the benefits of not having to drink. Also to sit and share in the light of each other’s peace of mind and freedom.

Water is very good, especially ice cold 
I’ve found myself drinking more coffee since I stopped drinking alcohol. I need to work on it, but I’m not ready yet

@JazzyS your morning sounds lovely. Maybe I should head to the pool one day, exercising in water does so good. And how cool you are learning to crochet. Always good to learn new skills. Just have fun with it. Youtube has lots of beginner friendly tutorials.
@Madds 60 days, love it!
@EFountains congratulations on 4 years! 
@Witoz great work! Keep on working those sober muscles.

Checking in: day 176
Had a great afternoon playing boardgames with new friends. So proud of myself for making new friends irl in this time in my life. We all have a connection through mental health care so I felt very safe and could easy talk about things. But when I got home I was super wired. Like how I feel when something bad/stressful/triggering happens. I couldn’t get myself to calm down and keep craving a drink (which was my go to in these situations). I slept horrible and still my tension is really high. I think I know what caused it but I will need to talk to my therapist tomorrow.
One thing I noticed is everything was so polite and goody goody yesterday. I miss chaos and adventure. But I am scared that that will lead me to the wrong path of self-destruction again. Ugh, just wish my brain would shut up.
Anyway, gonna start the morning ritual, do something creative and go for a big walk this afternoon. All this will pass and I will stay sober.
Stay safe and sober

Early this week I made a call that apparently released some tensions in me and I have slept more. Few nights I slept with help of sleeping meds but rest of the week it’s been just my body doing the work. Last night I slept over 10 hours! With some interruptions because of a bastard of a cat - which I love dearly, don’t get me wrong.
Just have to keep in mind that all the storms calm down eventually. I am hoping my autumn will be less stressfull than my summer was.

Social or new situations do this to me as well. Even positive things can be stressful and nervesystem gets overloaded.
I hope you get to relax today.

Day 15
Sobriety strong, mental health weak. Depression, anxiety. I’ve got medicine but they start to affect after two months (if they affect).
Have a sober day!

7 months AF, 29 THC
Today marks 7 months without booze, but I’m so depressed and anxious that I can’t feel happy for this milestone. Life just feels constant nightmare. I haven"t been outside except for groceries, but today I’m forcing myself to go for a walk. I wish you all a great and sober day!

Good morning guys. We go again!
Day 182 AF.
Life is lifing at an alarming pace right now and it’s feeling a bit overwhelming. I know I take on too much and I need to manage my time better. I commit to things and ideas and find myself being unable to fulfil them and end up feeling like a failure because stuff is only half done. 
I wish I could clone myself!
@Raspberry @JazzyS Thanks for asking about the wedding party. In the end I backed out of going. Being around heavy drinking friends and feeling the way I’m currently feeling I thought it was for the best. Unfortunately I feel guilty now.
Make it an awesome sober 24 and be kind to yourselves, you deserve it.

Anniversaries give us the opportunity to reflect on the path we have walked, where we are, and where we are going. You have used your opportunity to give a beautiful testimony to the joys of a life well-lived. Thank you.

I think that was a good choice if you had doubts. No need to feel guilty, no one will remember you didn’t attend to.
