welcome Stevie!

Day 7 feels great. Saved 100$ according to my counter app. First time in 8 months I have made it to payday without using my credit card. Funny how that works.

Welcome Stevie!

Sorry you're going through that Awake. Thinking of you.

Day 7. Am getting through it but now the little AV is saying you've done well....now how about a....

Aaagh, No! Go away. I don't want one. Its been hard enough the last 7 days, pains, thinking that I have shot my liver etc. No. I can't give in. And I know that one glass will lead to one bottle... No!

I will msg tonight to say I am still sober. I will I will!

Dee! Feel better. I thought of you when I finally made a recovery plan and used it, thank you.

Hey Loui - I'd rather be sober, and ready for anything, with a tornado coming.

You can get through the next 24 hours...you can do this

Good morning from a very cold England! Looks like I've missed loads overnight, welcome to Stevie!

Loui, tornados?? Ok, so I should stop moaning about a bit of frost!! Hope you manage, tell the AV to get lost (I gave stronger words in my mind but best not type them!!)

Happy Friday!

Feel better Dee, we love yah!

Day 5 and I had the coziest, snuggliest sleep for most of this rainy day. I gave in to the warm fuzzies cuz they felt good and I didn't have to take anything to feel them!

I am setting up a goal tracker on my phone and I was trying to find another word for RECOVERY cuz it triggers my alcoholic guilt, but then I cam across the definition for the word recovery:

"A return to a normal state of health, mind, or strength." OR

"The action or process of regaining possession or control of something stolen or lost."

I mean, just wow. Such power in those words. It makes me think, wait. So I am recovering, perhaps, the spirit of that little girl before all those traumatic childhood events happened? I am in recovery to return to a normal state of being, perhaps of state of peace? I am loving that, so I will stick to using the word recovery!

Love you all!

I hope you feel better Dee, food poisoning is not great at all.

Day 6. Had a pretty shoddy sleep but I have a smooth couple of days of work ahead and I’ll be back home Sunday evening so will miss the weekend fortunately. I hope to go and see the new Justice League film Sunday evening.

Morning!! Day five starting here. Have to be careful and accountable today. Tomorrow is my only day off this week and with all that’s happening at my work right now my response could easily be f-it (and has been so many times in the past) Not today though. Going to use my tools and enjoy the sober day off tomorrow that I deserve.

Struggling - love the gratitude list. May add writing one myself today as a new tool

Dee - glad you’re back and on the mend!!

Welcome Stevie

Loui - stay safe!!

Happy Friday JJ!!

LiveLikeGold - wow that is powerful!! Going to copy that down in my journal. Thanks for sharing!!

Great job thinking it through NortherLass!!

Morning SeanFox!

Well I better head out. Already can’t wait for bedtime tonight. Lol

Happy Friday!!

Day 6. Headed out in a few to a school function for a bit. Sure am glad I am not hungover and can have a good time with my boys this morning.

I made it! Day 7! So pleased with myself!

Busy day tomorrow, looking forward to a good sleep tonight!

Tomorrow might be tough. It's the time when I come home and reward myself....But I need to be strong....have another treat ready instead of alcohol.

Have a good day/night!
