It’s day 65 AF for me!! :pray::raised_hands:t3:

I occasionally still have cravings, especially on nice sunny days! I’m definitely still learning how to “cope” and adjust through those thoughts. Life is different for me now and there’s still so much mental processing I’m going through daily of my previous life habits and the damage I have caused my love ones over the years :pensive:. I hold on to these three quotes whenever I’m feeling down:
-“Worry ends where faith begins”
-“Don’t worry about anything, pray about everything “
-“Everyday is a fresh start”.

470 days, yesterday first exposure since a long time: a company bbq. A lot of new people, quit anxious but it worked out just fine. A lot of them drinking soda’s / sparkling water as well, made it easier. But I geuss the biggest change is my mindset, quit proud :blush::pray:

Today - just now! - I hit 3 months of straight sobriety for the first time since I started this journey.

I honestly didn’t even know how to think of this a few months back. I was stuck in the quicksand of self-doubt, demoralized, unsure; I was just focused on what I needed that day. The idea of 90 days / 3 months was inconceivable.

What has made a difference:

  • Psychiatric and psychological treatment. A very big impact. I began taking medication for my depression in January, and that corresponds almost exactly with my sober time.
  • Emotional work with my wife, with the support of a relationship counsellor who works at a sobriety clinic (and understands directly how getting sober can work in relationships). That emotional support in my relationship, learning to be there for each other, is so, so valuable
  • Talking Sober. I am grateful for this community every single day. I love coming on here. This is the only online space where I feel I can really be myself. I am in other online spaces of course but this one is the one I want to be in. This is the place where I can come and offer support, and be supported, with people who understand the journey 100%. I am enormously grateful for that.

Thank you Talking Sober. I appreciate everything you guys are and everything you do :innocent:
