We are living parallel lives friend. Only have to make it through work tomorrow and then finish all the shopping and wrapping. You’re so close to 100 days!! Keep up the good work.

You’re right @RBG. It’s a great feeling to be able to think clearly and calmly.

Everything about this rings true in me. I’m 48 and 3 months old. I spent 48 of those years mocking anyone who prayed or believed in a god, I thought them weak and stupid to talk to a man in a cloud,but desperation has lead me to my god, I understand what it is. I was the weak and stupid one for 48 years and the reason I didn’t believe anything could help me is because I never asked for it. I don’t know where this road is taking me but I will follow it without question because its a lot better path than the one I had chosen for myself and I trust it unconditionally. There will be people who read this that don’t believe in God and I know EXACTLY what you are thinking right now because I was you,but until you hand yourself over to whatever you choose to call it your struggle will be so hard doing it alone. The word you used in your post that I’ve discovered means so much and has changed me so much is, Acceptance. You will never move forward without acceptance, this one word has changed my life.

Bumping this to make this popular thread more visible to all those people who will be looking for it as Europe wakes up to a TS front page that is currently having some minor issues.

Day 616 and day 3. I added mindful eating to my tracking because I would like to keep it going and it’s surprisingly hard to keep track of two numbers lol anywho long story short I’m sober and not overeating.

Rough weekend, surprised I didn’t over indulge/indulge at all in chocolate or copius amounts of crackers.

Hope everyone has a good Monday.

Day 462 :coffee:
Had a Christmas dinner yesterday. It was a lovely day with family and everything went well. No cravings, because there were no alcohol at all :grin:


We ate and lached a lot! Today a working day ahead and tonight my oldest son is coming home!! :confetti_ball:
He lived for half a year in Germany.
Glad to see him again :heart:

Have a good day everyone! 🙋

Starting over. I don’t know why I want to be sober, but I know there’s something there to obtain.

It feels like when I would drop out of college, I knew I had to finish it, don’t know why, but my life would be better if I did.

I’m kinda shakey about this, it’s a year and a half since I first came here. Countless restarts, 14 to be exact. Long times in between, short ones as well.

I’ll do the work and figure out why I want to be sober later.
