Day 10! ( But whose counting) Obviously me!!! I’m feeling weak, tired, off. When I was a drinker I felt better! WTF?! I dunno. I am “one daying at a time” I signed up here for support. I am meditating and trying to get power.
Two battles won so far. ( That does make me feel good).
Even this little spout of word helps me stay strong as I sent them 'out there".
Thanks for being here.

Well done for the double digits Steeve 
Have you discovered our check in thread yet?
It’s a very active thread a lot of us use for a daily check in.
Feel free to join!
Have you found you’re way here a bit? I know this forum can be a bit overwhelming at the beginning, at least for me for sure! After a while I found a few threads that where resonating with me and make me feel where I needed to be

Congratulations on day 10!!
You are doing great.
Your body and mind are adjusting. One day at a time is a great way to go. I’m almost at 2 years and that still works for me. It’s manageable.
Glad that sharing is helping you too. Keep up the great work.

3rd day in a row, that I won the temptation fight.
Wearing man! Blooding wearing indeed! So no energy I have. And tomorrow is the annual staff party… UGH!!! that will be a battle for real. ( It’s already in my head…maybe that is what is draining me). Anyway, one day at a time . One day at a time… I won today! So goodnight!

The beginning is tough, man. Brutal. We have all been through it. Walking and being outdoors helped me through some stressful times. I also found replacements like tea and sparkling water. It does get better after time. You just gotta keep pushing. I skipped my company’s staff party when I was about 3 months sober. I avoided all events with alcohol. Due to my past relapses, I knew I would cave. I’m 3 yrs & 2 months sober now, and I have been to many events without being triggered. I still have fun without getting fucked up. Is there any way you could skip the annual party?

This is common in the early days. Keep reaching out to connect and you will find people who understand. You’re making progress, one day at a time.

You are doing great 
…ODAAT and a solid plan for tomorrow. The body is detoxing and this can be a tiring process. Be gentle with yourself
Sounds like a solid plan to me!
Keep us posted.
Whoa! What an experience!! I DID IT! but WOW, it was tough!!! In the beginning especially! I was like moving around , helping set chairs, rearranging, walking to toilet…hahaha, avoiding the “sitting”…MAN, I really wanted to join…but a funny thing happened… People were getting drunk, and they started to slur, get loud, no cares… This was interesting to see… And it was easier to refrain at this time,! Wow! This is a trick, hang in there until people get drunk! Then it’s easier as it reminds me as how I NOT wanna be …
Anyway, phew, job done!!!
…now for the Ireland thing… UGH!
BUT, ONE DAY AT A TIME…ONE DAY AT A TIME…

Well done!!! You are strong! Good luck in Ireland xxx
Congrats on making it thru another day sober and conquering that event. It’s funny how our tolerance for drunk people changes when we no longer partake. I find them annoying, but it’s a good reminder why I got sober. Now I see how non drinkers saw me. Not a good look at all. 
How’s it going? Hope your travels Nd holidays are going well
Just the person i was looking for if you dont mind how old are you im 29 with 72 days sober from alcohol and looking for someone to bs with read my story.
