Remember to breathe.

Remember to reach out.

Remember you are loved.



I've actually screenshot this so I can easily look at it whenever I need. Hope that's OK? X

I shared the imaged quote at the bottom from the web.

The rest of it comes from my heart.

I walk beside amazing people, no matter where they are on our journey.
And I am grateful to be here.

Hey everyone, congrats on making it through the weekend sober! I made a promise to my dad today that I would start running more so we can run together in the spring so that starts tomorrow! I'm looking forward to running with him so that's definitely another reason to keep myself on track. Going to bed sober on day 17 and boy does it feel good!!

Timbo I am also a binge drinker, not a daily drinker, although some of my binges lasted for days. I found that AA was not for me either. This site has been very helpful and I think you will find it helpful too. There are so many supportive people here.

Congrats to you, as well, Elfie. I'm so thrilled to be heading into a new work week alcohol free. It's going to be great!

After a long break, I am back. I want to stay sober for the next 7 days and then join the November class. At least then I will have some progress. It's going to be a struggle but I need to stay sober.

Am still on my first day. Its now evening and this is the time I usually drink (lots!). This afternoon I had a sense of peace knowing that I am not going to drink tonight. I'm going to drink herbal tea and do stuff that I need to do. Have a sober Monday y'all!

Have completed day 10. Still rolling. Life has pretty "in control" - nothing really bad happening. I am a bit afraid of some kind of crisis and how I will handle it tho.

Hi Hewson-
I did P90x a few years back-I forgot which version-but it was great. Also have done InSanity and T25 of the Beachbody programs. Good stuff.

It does no harm to think about what you should do in a crisis Oct - that way you won't be totally unprepared if, God forbid, something happens that leaves you on shaky ground?

Onto another day sober. I felt fantastic waking up this morning without a hangover.
Knowing I can actually go to work and be clearheaded without having to worry about making it through the day because I'm feeling miserable is heartening.
This is great, so happy to be back here and to be sober.

Heyyy guys I relapsed. So back on day 1.

I relapsed at the wedding. Which was stupid because the one thing I was worried about - the party bus - didn't even happen. I basically decided I was going to drink the day before and I convinced myself it was okay because it's a special occasion etc. You know how it goes!

My bf is not mad. Just "very disappointed". He congratulated me on 30 days and then the next day I drank. So after the wedding I didn't drink for one week. Then I drank again. Anyways, here I am off of a 3 day binge where, amazingly, I am fine except a terrible hangover, some anxiety, and my bf is disappointed in me.

Addiction sucks
