97.51 Days

Well, my fever is gone but still feeling pretty shitty. However, the show must go on, so off to work I go. I’m soooo close to being done with my software conversion and today is my last day before access to the old system is cut off. As soon as I’m done, I will attach rockets to my ass and head home. My youngest finally got home last night, so we did our little family Christmas. I was pretty annoyed how selfish my 1st husband was with Christmas this year (and well every holiday) but as per usual kept it to myself as I’d rather just keep the peace. I can’t stand conflict or fighting.

Day 5! Well actually counter says 4 but I changed the start time a bit later that it actually was since I wanted the number to change on midnight from here on :smile:

Anyway, my feelings has gone back and forth. At times I’m exhausted to think and think and think this sobrierity thing 24 hrs a day. I do NOT want to drink, I just want something else to think about for a change. Well, maybe it helps after some more time? It’s still so early in my case.

Stay positive and have a good week everyone :muscle:

Day 15 here. I’m feeling better than I have been the last couple days, both mentally and physically. I was on the verge of relapse a lot over the weekend but I fought through it and so proud I did. I even went as far as setting something up yesterday and then told my “friend” no I don’t need it and nevermind. I see a lot of people struggling lately due to the holiday season, so to those of you struggling I send prayers (positive vibes for those who are not religious) and strength, if I can do it so can all of you :grin: To those who have stacked up some high numbers throughout 2019, congrats and thank you because you are all truly inspiring and give hope to those who are not there yet. Have a magnificent sober last Monday of 2019 :grinning::heart_eyes:

I understand your frustrations with exercise and injury. I’ve been there so many times. Well, I’m pretty much there all the time. Currently I’m doing bench press with light weight and zero ROM, because of my shoulder. Injury doesn’t stop me anymore. I work around it and still make gains.

Day 23. Another week off with my little guy. Not used to this much time off over holidays but this is the first time he’s not been in daycare. Likely a trip to library if the roads clear up; pure ice so far but it’s early. Some groceries to get healthy food restocked. Have a great day, everyone

Day 1. I hesitated on writing anything but I think trying to get sober alone isn’t working. I have to put in the work: daily gratitude list, reading, meditation, and reaching out here.
I need to reach out for my phone instead of wine. So glad all of you are here. Your stories give me hope.

Almost day 55.
OK day. Nothing major. Trying to work on gratitude. Even if I am jaded and cynical at times.
8pm. Gonna read here, netflix and sleep. Enjoying being mostly off FB. Was a good suggestion.
Dreading New Years. The 1st is my husband’s birthday. :disappointed_relieved::disappointed_relieved::woozy_face: He wants to go camping with us and the kids and a few friends. Ugh. So ready for it to be like the end week in Jan already.
Still sober. You guys are awesome.

Hi Eva3! Nice to have you here. My DOC was booze, it’s so difficult but if you truly try it’s possible to stop drinking. I am at 141 days and charging on, this place has saved my life! The folks here are awesome. Stick around, read and share…even rant if you want. It’s a safe place! Wish you all the best x

I am so glad that the thing you were so worried about is now sorted. I was thinking about your worry a lot over the last 12 hours or so. Anxiety is a trigger for me so I was worried that it might cause a prob for you. Well done on getting that sorted and facing it head on buddy! And well done you for not letting it derail your sobriety. We are keeping on keeping on @Bluemoon1 one day at a time we ARE doing this! :pray:t2::two_hearts:

Happy holidays, sober peeps. I love reading all the success stories. And for those that are struggling… it gets better. Day by day. Just say no for today. I was hopeless for a long time, but then one day, it just clicked. Alcohol no longer controls me. Next stop on this sober train… 500 days!

Thanks for the support means alot. Also said for the foreseeable future any works events count me out for now as i dont want to put myself in a position where i could be easily swayed. Now home for a nice meal then netflix then a nights sleep without any worry cannot wait. One day at a time. :wink::+1::+1::+1:
