Checking in on Day 162 sober. Need to remain vigilant! Recently, I’ve started to think about drinking with those old romanticising thoughts, as if my brain is starting to reconsider my sobriety 
luckily, I have learnt to just take this one day at a time and to always say NO to the first drink - the drink that matters. I need to catch those thoughts and recognise what’s actually happening, that I am glorifying alcohol and falsely attaching to an ‘idea’ of fun and the ability to moderate, but I know (and I do, deep down) that alcohol makes me VERY sick and depressed. This is the reality. No good comes from having even “just a few” drinks. I am a non-drinker, I don’t drink so I wont drink. Alcohol does not bring me happiness, but rather it takes it away. I don’t want that. I love my life, and I’m thankful for my sobriety 
some days I just need to be reminded of that though.

Checking less than 1 day sober
I relapsed again after a couple days. I can’t
seem to find the strength to stay sober in the situation I’m in. I smoked again this morning and last night. I am afraid I’m going to lose a job I need very much in life. In order to get out of my situation

Day 82…
Finishing up Step 5 with my sponsor. Eating low carb, moderate protein, high fat since last Friday. It is helping to regulate my appetite and feel full.
Insulin resistance demands this diet.
Already feeling less tired after lunch!
Attending a meeting this evening to share with my 12-step fellowship. I’ve gotta give what I receive to keep it!

Checking in, first time in a while. Day 375. Didn’t make a big deal going past one year. Focusing on each day is the important thing. Doesn’t matter if it’s day 1,10 or 100. You can’t do forever today, so don’t worry about that. All you can do is just do today. On reflection on one year sober, the absences of the anxiety that comes with drinking and it’s aftermath and also the absence of dishonesty to my loved ones is a nice feeling. Never give up hope guys, there is always another chance. X

Changing outside things (jobs, your situation, etc) won’t keep you sober. The change needs to come from within. Have you considered going to meetings?

Checking in. Day 1 sober. Got home without stopping at the store for wine.
It’s great to read about how everyone is staying sober!!!? It’s inspiring!
My sobriety plan----
I am going to start the 30 alcohol experiment by Annie Grace-- I think that’s her name–.
I’m going to read on this app.
I’m thinking of revisiting the women for sobriety website.
When I think about drinking, I just have to remind myself “you don’t drink anymore”
Have a great evening.

82 Days. Really crappy day. It’s been cold and raining for 2 days and snow expected over night. These kind of days don’t help my depression and causes intense pain in my back. But I’m still sober and that’s all that matters. Keep taking it one day at a time everyone.

Coming up on the end of day 2. I’m starting Russell brands documentary on prime. Tomorrow I’m going to call my works EAP and get some referrals to see a counselor. It’s only been 2 days but tough wrapping my head around the fact that I can never drink again. My entire life binge drinking was normalized and I’ve been at it for almost 20 years. It’s my normal. I cant have my liver get any more messed up. We were supposed to go to a party this weekend I told my husband I cant go.

Good call on skipping the party. And don’t worry about forever, you only have to not drink for today.

I like that you are taking positive steps 
Also consider doing the Annie Grace ‘30 Day Experiment’. It’s online and free. Google it and go to the site (minimal info required). You’ll get an email with a password and link to create your own profile. Every day you’ll receive an email and link to a video and questions to ask yourself. It’s worth a try x
