Day 85!! Very mixed and up and down day. I’m finally feeling better at night, and hoping tomorrow will be better.

That sounds hard, and also very tiring. I find pretending very wearing indeed. Are u doing any counselling or therapy? While kids are wonderful, reasons to stay alive have to come from within, imo. Hugs, be gentle with urself.

Day 75
Meh, not much going on. Very everyday. Thoughts of drinking do flash through brain occasionally, but brief and distant.

Great accomplishment Chris; I get those feelings too. It feels overwhelming sometimes, I really have to focus on small victories to push through.

Day 248 today! Had movie night last night at work. I’m really thankful for my coworkers also being my best friends. I’ve known some of them for about 10 years and we’ve worked together for about two. I don’t really have any other friends left since I stopped using. But that’s my choice.
Have a great Friday everyone!

Day 38 - so I’m around 8 days away from my highest streak to this date, which is 46, from what I remember.
Therefore next week’s weekend I’ll be celebrating hitting my new highest.
It feels awesome to get the new achievement

I don’t want to not live, just struggling with what’s the point is all. Just in a rut right now. Working on pulling myself out of this. Thank you.

- Three days off. Excited as my insurance claim for my stolen bike was awarded so I’m looking for a new one now. Will probably go for the same one as I really loved it. Otherwise following the news slightly anxious concerning international flights and all the virus blahblah. 18 days till I fly. None of it will make me drink or use any substance though. That’s in the past. Life is better sober and clean. Have a good day all. Love from Amsterdam.

Indeed doing stuff is the remedy against these depressed feelings friend. With the paradox being all you want to do is hide in your shell. I know the feeling all too well. Good on you you’re doing stuff! Keep going Connor. One foot in front of the other. Soldier along.

Tip for you: buy a good probiotic supplement. It’s the first advice we gave our customers who have
IBS. It helps normalize the collon and faeces

Wim Hof is a very interesting Dutchmen @Hopeful777. He does his breathing technique bathing in a big bucket of ice! I have a customer who followed a workshop with him. You learn the breathing technique and at the end you try it in the ice tub! I think everyone know who Wim Hof is in the Netherlands, he’s quit famous. He made icewalks on mountains in just his swimming trunks.
Congratulations @TrueSpiritRyuu!! 2 months down Josua! Kaboom! 
I hope the surgeon will help @zzz, that sound nasty

Good morning 
In less than 12 hours I will officially be 2 days clean, while that’s not a big number and honestly I’m a little bummed to be back at square one, I’m trying to be grateful for each sober day as they come. I want this so bad. This is the first time I truly want it so I can feel better, not just for my family. I’m scared as usual because I just don’t really know who I am without pills, but I would like to find out. Happy Friday all you lovely sober people

125 alcohol free and 85 days of fresh air. I’m in for a difficult day today but since I’ve woke up the signs are everywhere convincing all will be well. In the past I would have called this coincidence but not anymore, now my Higher Power is doing what I can’t do alone. Have a peaceful day all. Be strong.

Getting out of the house is the best think you can do @Conor689908. I also use the Dalio app to keep track of my emotions and activities. So I can see wich things does make me feel better.
Day 536
Having the day off. Planning a trip to the thriftshop today. I like to wander trough the old stuff and find a treassure
Tonight playing in my new band. It gives me anxiety because all they play is new for me. We don’t play from musical notes on paper but by head (remember). So I have a lot to learn…
See you later everybody! 🙋
