I donā€™t like winter either. Itā€™s so dark and grey. But soon spring is coming. Also counting the daysā€¦
Today I woke up to day 9. Not every day is great and today I am feeling a bit anxious. But everything is so much better handling it sober :pray:t5:

You are crushing it Julia!!

Sorry for the anxiety love. You are right - not every day can be perfect. On days like this, I try to focus more on myself. I do a lot of deep breathing exercises, meditation and if possible some physical activity to release endorphins. I do hope the anxiety gets easier for you. :pray:

So very true! Keep fighting the good fight :muscle::raised_hands::people_hugging:

Hey beautiful ā€“ how are you doing love?

Hey beautiful
How are you doing? Been a long time since Iā€™ve heard from youā€¦do hope that you are doing well :heart::people_hugging:

Good evening everyone I am very sorry I havenā€™t said anything for a very very long time. I never forgot this app. I always left it installed on my phone and always resetted the counter when needed. I needed a lot of resets and I finally made it to 30 days this night. What is different now is that I stopped fighting and struggling every day for staying sober. Maybe this is what is called surrender? I found an amazing sponsor. I talk to her every day. I read with her in the big book. I get on my knees every day and pray. I really do believe that this works although I think itā€™s strange. And I go to in person meetings and online meetings and stay in touch with the AA women. Iā€™ve done meetings before but I wouldnā€™t feel it. I just went back to the bottle. But I always came back to AA and I never gave up. So here I am having 30 days and Iā€™m so very very grateful for this programme. I never forgot about this app and only wanted to come back when I have made some days again. I will pass by here once in a while. Thank you everyone for reading and I also wanted to say thank you to @JazzyS I hope you are doing really really great my love :two_hearts::two_hearts::two_hearts:

Thatā€™s right. Weā€™ve been around a long time you and I. Watched a lot of people come and go. Passing us by. And Iā€™ve had more than my share of relapsing. But we never give up. Nope. And itā€™s a journey thatā€™s completely worth it. So Iā€™m doing very well. Thatā€™s a nice chip.

Good evening everyone :two_hearts: itā€™s nice to be here once in a while. 40 days tonight. I met up with my sponsor tonight, we read in the big book and we talked long before we went to the meeting together. Iā€™m very grateful for my sponsor. She has so many wise words to say and I love listening to her. Everything she says makes so much senseā€¦

44 days without alcohol. Yesterday I met up virtually with my sponsor and we read in the big book. Tonight I will go to my home group meeting in town. I used to hate to go and I just went because I was told to and I was told it would get better. Now Iā€™m actually looking forward to see known faces and to actually sit there seeing a progress. Itā€™s so beautiful to wake up every morning sober and clear in my head. @JazzyS hope you are really well my dear friend
@KevinesKay itā€™s so so good to see such familiar names on here @Lisa07 same to you dear friend, @Dolse71 and we go waaaaay back, wow. So good to see you with such a progress here have a great day you fine people
