Poor Dean Martin. Don’t hit him hard cause he should RIP.
(Obviously he’s responsible according to @Fargesia_murielae )

Checking in on day 48. It has been an amazing and sober Xmas. I was a little nervous meeting up with my bestie yesterday, as we usually enjoy many a beverage together, but it was a wonderful visit even without the booze. I had bubbly water and a virgin Caesar with her, and I kept forgetting that I wasn’t drinking alcohol. It was the same great times as always

Checking in - Day 10!!! It has been a week and a half of ups and downs, especially over Christmas. And while I’m doing better, I’m still waiting for that pink cloud. Still, I’m glad that I’m sober today, I’m glad that I’m on this journey, and I’m glad for all the kind words & support here on Talking Sober!!! I’m looking forward to Day 11 and to a sober 2020! With you all to encourage me, I’m confident It’ll be a successful year!

Day 33 no smokes no drink.
Hi there everyone, I’ve read a few posts well quite a lot of posts on here with people relapsing and feeling down once they get to the month mark. All over Christmas and during the run up I was never tempted to start smoking or to start drinking again but now I could quite easily get ready and go out for a few pints. What’s stopping me is I know it wont be a few it will inevitably lead me to smoking again. I guess I’m feeling a bit flat today wishy washy as if I’ve made it through Christmas and I’m back at work …oh I don’t know what I’m feeling. It’s as if I’m waiting for something marvelous to happen I know that it already has with my decision 33 days ago. Ups and downs but I’m still sober.

It’s important that you are back here so soon. It took me 2 years to come back here and now I’m on day two. But we can do this

I’ll take a free pass when I can get it. Hope your guys weekend goes well!

Day 30. This visit to my family is stressful. My teenager is miserable at being here, tearful, angry, bored. My 10 year old is sick. My mom has dementia, and she was always difficult. Many stressors. But I’m happy to be facing things totally sober. We went to Little Women and it rocked; I cried a river, and it was uplifting, political, brilliant storytelling. It’s all about courage and integrity of all different kinds, which is what sobriety is also about. I’m holding onto that thought. Let’s be brave, let’s have integrity, and let’s remember that those values entail letting go of addictive destructive behaviors and being stronger in how we write our best story.

Good AA.meeting yesterday. First time I really opened up. Working step 3. Going to compose my own 3rd step prayer. Still don’t have a sponsor but trying. (None physically available here)
Deleted FB off my phone. Kept my account but hopefully this will help me from endless scrolling. I think a break from social media drama will do me good.
Trying to make connections. Friends. (I’m introverted…but trying)
It’s a bright sunny morning
Like blinding sun bright.
Happy Saturday

I’ve never thought of the idea of being ‘free’. I like it, but think I’m a long way from it. I will ponder.
I’d like to be fit enough to shovel snow for an hour I hate snow

Thanks so much @anon30771928 I wish I could see beauty. But I just see all the defects. Something I need to start focusing on in therapy. Spent most of my childhood being told I wasn’t good enough as is and lots of focus on appearance. Still suffering from that abuse 40 years later. I’m trying to shift my goal to just being healthy & to fit back into the clothes that are in my closet from when I was at a healthy weight!
