Good morning!
Day 2.
I couldn’t relax and fall asleep until after 1:30 am and woke up at 445. I’m hoping for a nap soon. I know this is normal early on. I’m preparing for some syptoms of the ‘sober flu’.
I have gotten through hangovers. I can get through this detoxing stuff.
I have plans for the day and evening with a sober friend. Happy New Year! I’m sure I will be checking back during the day. Take care of yourselves!

Day 69

During my Dr’s appointment yesterday, we covered a lot of ground. He told me 4 times that he was proud of me for not drinking. I brushed the first two times away, so he was then emphatic with the last two, until I acknowledged him and his words :+1: :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Day 120. Came to terms with asshole financial advisor, divorce was going to happen irregardless. I sat down STBX and said I was closing account and giving her 1/2 even though the seed money was willed to me by my grandmother. I am going to take my half elsewhere. My sis and I having coffee, she invited me over for tacos and football tomorrow, that’s pretty cool. Happy Tuesday all.

Tabacco isn’t psychoactive either but addictive as hell. CBD is seen as a mind calming substance and could help in treating some mental issues is said. But it (I believe) stil part of an addictive substance as one of the working particles.

Day 311. Its going to be a quiet NYE for me, no plans at all and staying in. Never been much of a fan anyway to be fair. I am however looking forward to leading in the new year sober and setting some strong foundations for 2020. Here’s to a new year full of learning and growing.

All the best to everyone on this journey :+1:

Yesterday was another discovery, I found out that tinder is another drug. I kept liking girls till 4 in the morning. Today I blocked some girl that called me at night she was in use. Deleted tinder, called my sponsor, feeling a bit better now. Still sometimes I feel like I will never be able to have a healthy relationship because my current vibes attract people in deep use :pensive::cry:

Day 109 - last day of 2019.

I’ve had a lot of down time over the last couple of months that allowed the space to work through PAWS. I still have many more bad days than good, but I feel a strong sense of pride getting through the bad periods when they pass (and they always do pass).

I had no idea what I had signed up for. I have tried sobriety many times without any real confidence or commitment. However, this time was different. I had given myself until Christmas at first. But the more I researched, and the harder the days became without a drink, the more I realised I am on a journey now that I musn’t stop - that I don’t WANT to stop. I had no idea how deeply alcohol was interwoven into my identity, how fundamental it was for so many relationships, and how naked and afraid I would feel without it. It has been a lonely, trying, wearisome experience, and I couldn’t be prouder to have made it this far. This is the longest I have ever been sober in my whole adult life.

I have taken time to re-asses my values in life, and compiled a list of resolutions and goals for 2020 based on those values. I am excited to start a new chapter when I wake up tomorrow morning - with a clear head, zero regrets and more self love than I have ever felt.

Many thanks to the forum for your stories, your wisdom, your creation and maintenance of a safe place for me to air out my struggles, and for making me feel held accountable. To say you have all contributed to my sobriety would be an understatement. I am tremendously grateful for all of your contributions, and I look forward to reading many more success stories, stories of pain and struggle, random thoughts, eureka moments, and sharing what’s next in return.

Happy New Year, lovelies!
