Yes it is.
Iām celebrating day 97.
Not craving. Although, my mind has been very blank and numb this week. Itās why I havenāt shared much. I donāt know what to say.
But Iāll still take it! 
Thank you.

Day 69 complete. I survived the trip, including all the flying, down time, excitement, and time with friends without drinking. I donāt think Iāve had this much fun on a vacation in forever, just because Iāve always been so focused before on how drunk I could get without ruining the trip for anyone else. Since I didnāt have to think about that, I was able to be very present with everything that was going on. Back to reality tomorrow.

Iām really glad youāre sober. Thatās awesome. Your doing well.
However, youāre still in early sobriety. I would not recommend anyone in this stage of their recovery to ātestā their sobriety or recovery in this fashion.

@Beardy_McTallman Thank you for saying u werenāt trying to be argumentative. I appreciate right now u feel everything is just shit and so what is the point of even trying. I have felt like that before. And when I did the idea of lots of shorter attempts still adding up to something helped, I wasnāt throwing out a platitude. Ur a runner, right? Like if u jeff 10 k, those periods of running still count, even if there are periods of walking inbetween, and the running will get longer and faster. And for the point of trying, is if u donāt try, u are on a direct downward trajectory. If u try, even if there are peaks and troughs there is a general upward trend, we just donāt always see it at the time. Anyway, these are thoughts that helped me, not always straightaway, but eventually.
Sorry @beaniebun didnāt mean to reply to u

You can do it you passed first time in unusal difficult circumstanesā¦ look at your results dont listen to the unhelpful comments which are so unfair and controlling. You driving pass is helping your friend to get some needed healing ( hope it helps) ā¦ just take it steady at your own pace. The more you drive the more confident you will get. Go out on your own more pull into carkparks etc and practice parking. I did this when i got a campervam it really helped. You can do it 
Day 165 and I feel like my battle is less about booze at the moment but more about my mind, spirit and controlling the internal rage or putting it into something positive.
The lack of booze has allowed me to focus on my mind, heath and wellbeing. I am a trying every day to live better, be better, eat better, think better, love better and deal with challenges better. I say better because the goal is not perfection itās to be better.
God bless you all

I have to agree with you, so I had a drink thatās done but I truly expected to get back on the wagon and pick up where I left off but mentally and emotionally Iām right back at the beginning. I want to drink everyday again. Itās not very pleasant at all. DAY 3.

Second day of my vacation. Yesterday I went to sauna in the morning, read some book, went cycling, catch some pokemons, back home, went for some shopping, catch some more pokemons, back home, almost ordered unneccessary meal, went to visit my sister to help her with some repairs at her place, on my way home I decide to make another tour on bicycle to catch more pokemons 
.
All this to avoid my drinking/smoking habit when Iām starting my vacation. Also not playing video games (at home for hours as I used to) makes me feel like Iām already spend 4 days on vacation 
great feeling.

Good morning!
today I have a day off from work. I have an appointment for CBT therapy and for diagnostic tests. normally I have to be clean for 6 weeks to do those tests. my councilor and psychologist made an exception because they were only small slips. today I have to fill in ADHD and autism screeners. personality test, iq test and a few that I have forgotten. it will be a long day ā¦ I am relaxing now.
Every time I read a piece from this topic. [Advice for the Newcomer and Constant Relapser] (Advice for the Newcomer and Constant Relapser
Already found some good suggestions there. I really need to change my behaviorā¦ I will post about my behavior later. that will be a long story ā¦ donāt have time for that now.
Wish you all a sober and clean day!
One day at a time, stay strong
