Cried. A lot

I know I repeat myself a lot. Crying sober was and is so much more productive and healing than being drunk. Back then it was like a repetitive cycle of self-pity crying without any healing or changing my moods. It feels now that it was a waste of water and salt.

Today, I came on here first thing, I reaffirmed in my heart and mind that sober life is my best life. I reminded myself what happens when I drink (terrible things/feelings) and once again found gratitude for my being sober. I called a friend and we went for a walk outdoors then made a nice lunch and relaxed. Then, came back on here to read some more. Another great sober day; thankful to be sober and happy. :orange_heart:

Made for myself tea and lying in my bed watching funny videos from my favourite youtubers. On my bed are as well my two dogs which make me smile. So yeah, that helps me to stay sober for this day.

Well im new to this app. Today i have 90 days sober and feeling great… i go to my php group daily(mon-fri) 9-1:30 and it really helps me stay sober and have ppl close to me that i can vent to or share with and get advice from others. I love my group but it was only supposed to be 10 groups and then graduate to I.O.P but today was my 30th group lol, although i do plan to graduate this friday and start I.O.P on mon next week, im just really anxious bout starting smthn new… i guess fear of the unknown scares me but it is time to move on… i really enjoy reading every1s post on this app and thanks for listening to me vent…

Hey Bethany - Glad you posted today!
Congrats on your 90 days! It can be scary starting something new especially when it’s something new in what’s been helping in your sobriety.
Welcome to post here whenever you feel the need to vent or just whenever! This is a fantastic community and wonderful support system. Best of luck with facing the unknown - it can be very exhilarating :slight_smile: :hugs:

Staying at a Ritz Carlton for business travel and this room has a well stocked minibar. I used to think I deserved a drink after a hard day’s work. Alcohol isn’t a reward for anything and is in fact a self imposed punishment for those who abuse it…

Amen to that! I really wish hotels would stop putting the mini bars in the rooms. I never enjoyed them - always too expensive and I would rather just buy a proper sized or mini bottles from the local store.

Thank you - needed this as a reminder for why I shouldn’t grab a drink

I went shopping at walmart for about 2 hours. Since where i live the liquer is not accessible from the main store, i just strolled about. I had a list of stuff to get but since i was having slightly a rough day i decided to take my time amd it was worth it. Then when i got home i started to make sugar cookies and frosting for tomorrow. And that took me to late so i was able to keep busy and the thoughts of drinking just passed by.

Cheered another addict/alcoholic on the great work they have done the last 2.5 months.
Reminded myself that I don’t ever have to drink again. Saw my HP in action. Remembered I’m not in control of anyone/anything other than me.

Have a bit of a rough day with family problems so turned off my phone and went to my first meeting since i got back to canada last week. Felt really good, enjoyed how welcoming everyone was and left feeling so much better and mentally ready to handle life.

50 days sober today. Spent the day catching up on laundry and playing games on my Switch. It was a good balanced day of productivity and relaxing. I reminded myself that if I was still drinking I would have probably done more chores around the house (drinking and cleaning was one of my typical habits) but I wouldn’t have had the energy/motivation to play Switch. Grateful that I can give more attention to my self care now.
