SoberLife90

Well me personally I don't work today. So I'm I'm sitting up in bed jamming my music through my head phones. Jamming hard. It really wakes me up in the morning. Anyways I might go look for a new pair of work shoes and I'm bringing a friend to my AA meeting tonight. All day I've also been looking through sober recovery posting or just reading through the posts too.

So how are you staying sober today? :-P:You_Rock

I am staying sober today because I want to feel good tomorrow. Also, because I don't want to start the cycle over anymore.

Great thread!

I stayed sober today despite it being a very sad day, as we picked up our cat Sam's ashes from the pet crematorium He was a 7-year-old ginger sweetheart and died very suddenly in August.

We signed the crematorium's Book of Remembrance, sat in the car and cried a bit.

We drove home, showed his urn to our other cats (his brothers and sister), and cuddled with them a bit.

I checked SR and ate a slice of banana bread.

I took a nap to recover from the emotional crying. (I never usually nap in the day. This is the first time a response to sadness has been 'I need a nap' and not 'I need a drink').

I cooked a three-bean casserole with couscous. It was nice.

Checked SR again.

I'm calling it an early night tonight, I plan to go to bed and read. I stayed sober today because I wanted to be sober, I wanted to feel my emotions, and I wanted to wake up on Day 20 tomorrow.

RIP Mr. Sam x

I stayed sober today so I could give my dogs a nice walk, and so I could go visit two senior ladies at my mom's assisted living place. Can't do those things drunk or sick.

I was in class all day, trying my best not to be paranoid. I remembered the advice that was given to me on SR and it helped. It also turned out I was wrong - fancy that! I had to fight the AV a couple of times today but it has left me now and I am looking forward to dinner. Not sure what I will eat but it will be delicious. Then I will sleep and wake up feeling clear and refreshed.

Making the choice not to drink has gotten easier over the past 90 days. AV still pops up once in a while. Keeping busy with work and hobbies and positive that if I start drinking again I'll most likely drink myself to death.

I've just finished up a stressful day of work - unusually stressful. So today I'm staying sober because I know that if I drown my anxieties, frustrations and stress with alcohol, tomorow I will wake up with twice the load to carry. And not much else figured out. I need my head on straight to get through this week. Drinking will interfere with learning, and recall of new info. It will make me feel like total crap on top of it. So tomorrow I will be so glad to wake up sober

Home from work, got my sweat on, even though its like 40F, got lunches and meds set for the next couple days, clothes and gym stuff packed for tomorrow, played with the Bunnies, had my internal ****-vent regarding a person I'm very fond of who keeps asking me out and then backing out last minute, talked to Mom, having a snack, watching BBC America Planet Earth, talking to you folks, gonna crash soon and I'm good to go!

Went for a walk (taking a day off from jogging), reading a fascinating book about Andre Agassi, and watching the World Series. All while fighting off cravings. But I'm sober.

Besides work, I had to get out of the house since I was not in the mood to be at home for awhile. I am now drinking tea at home.

Posting my pity party on here.

Got up well rested at 6:30am (never possible if drinking the night before), went to my chaotic job but stayed sane and professional, came home and looked for my cat whose missing (thankful to be sober and able to just feel sad and worried about her, rather than belligerent and unstable if I was drunk). It's not a perfect day by any means, but it's just so much easier and healthier sober.

Made sure to stay busy all day and now I have SR and Netflix while cozy in bed, under my warm blankets with the windows open and the cool breeze coming in the room.
