Another day in the bank wish you all a positive and productive day stay strong and stay soba💙
God it was nice to wake up and see six days on my screen. Doesn’t sound a lot and a few years ago it wouldn’t have meant much
6 days is the best I’ve done since January and the first time since pre-covid that i feel i can keep it going.
Up early doing some work and reflecting on the week. Life is good, my sleep has been poor, I’ve been ok, good, irritable, fed up, horny, happy, fidgety…emotions coming and going like waves.
What i learnt from my being sober and then drinking again, is its progressive. My drinking was worse… not better or more social, but more a gamble…
Working 7-4 today. Then will relax. Take care folks.
333 days no booze
Congrats on 6 days!!!
Its a huge accomplishment and you should be proud. The beginning is the hardest struggle. So happy that you are doing it and feeling so positive.
This is day 6 for me as well! I’m also having trouble sleeping….assuming that will get better as time goes on. It is nice to get up in the morning without the leftover sour taste in my mouth.
Day 8 sober
Day 0 no vape
Massive headache this morning
Got to stay hydrated
Work today at 1pm
When I’m there I’m going to focus and get things done
I’m definitely going to try and quit the vape again. It’s just time I start chipping away at that addiction.
Stay strong everyone

Reading your posts is like watching a bird being freed from a cage. Excellent Laura
Awww thank you, really helps you know, hope you are well too and have a lovely Friday night
It definitely is about taking each day at a time and not looking to far ahead, I have a holiday in September which is a big one, but I shall think about that more the closer it gets, but definitely feel better and getting more intuned with myself
Laura I just want to comment on this, because I wish wish wish someone told me this before I went on holiday last year…
I had been off alcohol for 13 months when I thought it would be okay to try moderation. My husband and I took a ferry to France, and that was the last I saw of sobriety for another 14 months. I thought, hell with it. I’m on holiday and I’m sure I have control over alcohol by now. I’m sure my tolerance has gone way down…
Well I had a few drinks on the ferry, but I pissed the holiday away on red wine for two weeks. When I got back home, I went back to wine during the week, gin on weekends. I went down the hole fast, it was like the previous 13 months never existed.
If you have always liked a drink on holiday, do not underestimate how powerful a trigger holidays are. Really, you have got to be prepared.
My advice to you is don’t let the holiday be alcohol centric, you need to make other plans for your time away. This can be hard to do in the presence of people that will definitely drink and want to party. Make sure you have a plan to avoid these situations. You’ve just been through the toughest time, the first two weeks of sobriety after multiple relapses. So you need to protect your sobriety fiercely. You don’t want to go through all that again, I do not recommend it
Tomorrow i am 4 years Alcohol free but still take it just one day at a time. You are doing great well done.
I love this, and yes I’m worried, it’s a childrens holiday too so I’m going to do lots of things That steer away from drinking, just going to have to be very aware
1700 days.
I am grateful for all the people who are with me on this journey
