Had a great day and evening so far. Exercised, ate healthy (for the most part), spent time with family and got some chores done :) Going to the beach tomorrow with my daughter and s/o....it'll be my first sober beach trip in a long time! I can't wait! Have a great day all and looking forward to getting to know everyone!

Good to see you ready! Great on five days! Hope your trip to the beach is fun!

Welcome jhay! Sorry about your Mom. Glad you are here. Its not my first trip around the block either. Need to make it my last tho. Nice to meet ya.

It's hard to keep to a plan when you convince yourself you don't need one. I'm in danger of screwing up big time so I'm back again.

Hi trees. Nice to see ya.

Hi all. Only on day 2 of no drinks. I'm already feeling better! Getting healthy for myself and my kids. Alcoholism runs high in my family, and I need to make a change. Looking forward to getting to know everyone and supporting one another . :)

Hello all! Count me in .. I guess I am on day one after having over a month. and 4 months before that. Gotta work on solidifying my plan. Grateful It didnt turn into a binder which usually happens... It was just a night and woke up not wanting to drink like usual. Sick and tired of being sick and tired. We got this ya'll! :grouphug:

Another great morning waking up without a hangover. I've thrown some laundry in, cleaned up the house a bit, paid some bills and am currently playing with my toddler (and cruising SR) until she goes down for a nap. Then working out and having a healthy, not-so-delicious smoothie after :) If I drank yesterday/last night, I would have pushed all the morning responsibilities onto my s/o and gone back to bed. I would not have exercised and eaten like crap all day. I would have lost precious time with my child and s/o. The bills would have been pushed off to another day. The laundry and cleaning house would have been done haphazardly or not at all. I am thankful for another day of sobriety and looking forward to a sober day at the beach with those I love! Have a nice day classmates!

Thank you Ready to do... :-). It sounds like you had a great productive day! Doesn't it feel great to get things done? I am so far ahead with my cleaning and chores!

mandosca 07-02-2017 07:32 PM

Wow, the class is growing! :-). Welcome to everybody!! I had a productive day today and ended it with the neighbors firework show. I am on day 13 and am feeling confident, hope it stays that way. Hope everyone had an awesome, sober day!

Good morning, July 17ers! Remember that the first drink is the one that's the problem. Steer clear of it and you never have to worry about drink #2 or beyond.

Stubbs16 07-03-2017 07:33 AM

Good morning class. Welcome to all who have just recently joined. My day so far is going pretty good. Grateful to wake up clean and sober, another day! Im so much better, sober. Its amazing how I still entertain the idea of drinking tho.I hope in time, when I get enuff clean time built up, it wont be this way. I really haven't given myself a really fair shot at long term sobriety, for quite some time now. Time to do it!
