Great work, Toodle!

What do you have planned for the day?

Sorry you're sleepless Aarry.
Congrats on day 9 Soshie & Toodle :)

Have a good day Shoshie, yes I think I'll go for a walk too, looks nice and sunny, the boat people are already out on top of their boats, wow camden fills up so quickly!!! Youre doing great, as we all are, big pat on the back to everyone!

:c011:

Ughh..it passes. But yes, it really sucks. x

Thank-you for the congrats, Dee. And for your tireless, wise moderation. I'm grateful for both x

Thanks Dee, I look up to you for inspiration, and you never fail :)

Thanks guys - have a good day :)

Good morning! And I mean that literally because no hangover or self recriminations about what I may have done or said last night. Day 7 here, $105 saved, 4,200 calories not consumed. At least. Wow.

Great Holli! Have a good day x

Hi Holli, day 7 here too. I have that counting app "I'm done drinking," and I like seeing the numbers rack up! Is that what you have? Congrats on those numbers!

Good morning on day 6!
First Sunday in a long time that I'm not hungover, feels great!
I'm sleeping a little bit better too, though not quite "good" yet. I think I may have gotten 4 uninterrupted hours last night. Still not good, but better. I'll take it for now.

Have a great and sober day!

Haha nureal, I love that. It does kind of feel like I'm entering some strange new dimension of living. Congrats to you on day 6!

I'm going to a show with my bf tonight at a place that serves alcohol, notably wine, and am starting to get a little anxious about it. I did love my wine. I'm so so glad that I admitted to him that I thought I had a problem, he's been way more supportive of me not drinking ever since I did. He's suggested I just stop drinking in the past but I think he was afraid of pushing it too hard, probably because I would get really annoyed at the suggestion haha. Knowing he'll be there to back up my resolve if any bad ideas pop into my head is comforting.

Hope everyone is having a good Sunday!

My last drink was fueled by the dating app tinder. I know I'm not in a place right now where I'm ready for a relationship, but that doesn't mean I don't feel lonely. So I thought I'd use Tinder for light flirting and boost my confidence. The first day or so it did exactly that. After a few days, I noticed that every girl I was chatting with had drinking of some form in their interests. This triggered serious anxiety and the fear that I'd never find anyone because I'm trying to be sober. All the rational thoughts and discoveries that have come via therapy went out the window. I had a beer with lunch to "prove" to myself I could. That led to more drinks and old, dumb behaviors... So I definitely share random feelings triggered by social media.

Happy Sunday, Marchers! Spent the day/evening with my Dad. Good meal, conversation, and a no pressure sober environment. Quite the contrast to the sober bar night on Friday. I'm choosing to go into work today for some OT and will spend the evening doing laundry, oh and the Walking Dead! Stay strong, kidz.

Morning Noolan, looks like you've got things covered! Have a great day x

Sounds like a good weekend Noolan!

Facebook is a tough one for me... It seems to have introduced all sorts of new ways to overanalyze and find out people's feelings. I don't like it! I still have a profile but I haven't checked it in days because I get wound up. Ick.

Thanks Aarry!, the cravings are definitely due to mass amounts of poison, but ironically sometimes that lowers my cravings so you never know. I am sure the fact that it is my very own mother pouring alcohol down everyone's throats messes with my subconscious mind (hard to go against the person who brought you up).

Checking in on a beautiful hang-over-free Sunday morning. Getting ready for church with the family. Love you all !!!! :c009:

Awesome TriGeek day 6 for me too yayyyyy!! Keep up the GREAT Work !!! :You_Rock_

I certainly get that. Since the start of the year I've had moments of breaks/sobriety and following the binges, I deactivated mine for weeks at a time. I've bounced back much faster this week, so hopefully I can handle it. ;)
