Had a long talk with wifey before we went to bed last night.
She asked what’s next year about? And I told her I don’t know where I’m headed with my sobriety but I’m headed somewhere.
She asked if we can drink in the summer. I said, you can, but I just don’t want to anymore. I’m done with that side of me.
We fought a little bit she calmed down and know things must change.
Today we got season passes for Disney!
If I’m not drinking then I’m going to need to keep busy, Disney passes for us and the kids, so it helps with cardio. Prolly walked at least 5 miles today at Disney.
Last day of work this year is coming up. I like how that sounds. Will make it through this one too. Sober and clean. One day at a time, good times and bad ones. Drinking or drugging never helps. Have a good day all! Clean and sober love from Amsterdam.
623/10. I went to the beach today pretty early in the morning. Something that would never happen on a Sunday if I was still drinking. I’m so grateful for today
Venus is the hottest planet in our solar system (because of the greenhouse effect), the third brightest natural object in the sky, and the only planet to be named after a female Roman goddess.
Long airplane ride with kids coming up but it will be ok. I will not drink; I will have seltzer. I just ordered the new book “quit like a woman” after the NYT op ed summary. I like the general premise that what’s the most useful rhetoric in the journey to get sober might be different for people who aren’t men and/ or aren’t white. Strength, courage, clarity and integrity are what I’m aiming for today and ideally every day.
Good morning everyone. I’m sorry and very ashamed to say I went out and drank yesterday after 35 days. This was my 1st attempt at kicking my nasty addictions. I also smoked because I just thought F@$% it! Deep down inside I knew I would around the 30 day mark. It was nice to see everyone and I did enjoy myself but felt so guilty and disappointed with myself. I will be trying again on Wednesday once my family has returned after the holidays. Sobriety is definitely the way forward and I know what to expect now. I’m so sorry for you guys also as I feel I’ve let you all down too. I’m looking at Wednesday now with a sense of optimism. Once again I’m sorry for letting you all down and myself. Much love Col.
Glad you are still here to work on it @Licorice. Try to learn from your relapse, what can you do diffrently next time when you are in a uncomfortable situation?
I hope the dentist can help @Ark! Hope you feel better soon.
What a good idea to get those Disney passes @TrueSpiritRyuu! Hope you live nearby so you can be there easy. I’ve been there only once, but loved it there. My husband misses my drinking too sometimes but he hasen’t got an addiction. But it was something we did together, something we shared and now he has to drink alone. So he morned a bit about it and even after a year he still mentioned it sometimes. But when I remind it about me being drunk, my black outs, he is glad I do not drink. I think he is romanticizing our drinking too. Just like I do sometimes when I have cravings
Keep on going, you are doing great!
Day 469
Bought myself a alcohol free white wine for New Years Eve. We are going to visit friends and they all know I’m sober. But I feel like I want to be a part of the drinking ones. Stupid maybe. I’m not going to drink alcohol. But I want to celebrate the new year to come with something that looks like it.
Within a few days I guess it will be crowded here. All new people with new plans about quitting. A lot will come and only a few will stay.
So glad I am were I am today
Working day ahead and tomorrow also. Happy with that. Keeping myself busy is a good one these days. Within a few days life is back to normal
Back to work wish me luck x feel calm feel anxious at the same time. Gotta take what comes but let this be the lesson i finally need to see i cannot have 1 drink because that becomes two days drinking then i could end up in serious trouble. Today i am not going to drink
Hey! I’m using this app for about a year now, but didn’t really post anything. I’m in this sober for a week or a month and relapse again circle. Now i am on day 3 and want to change my habbits…so… CheckIn for a sober today completed
Hey everyone,oldies & newbies.
Checking in for day 70 or 10 weeks!!
Been a super last 2 plus months. The stress and anxiety of the consequences of my drinking shenanigans are long gone. No more need to delete drunk messsges or block people on social media so I dont hear from them.
It’s been a time of thinking back over my life and knowing I’ve wasted valuable family time.
Drinking or taking cocaine is never ever happening again!
Good luck to you all on your individual journeys
Back to office for me also, but without monday hangover or fatigue!
