I never tire reading all the amazing posts we make here. Doing amazing things every day that would have been pure fantasy while we were using. Life is wonderful not drinking, even on a less than stellar day.

I am in for another 24 please.

Have a good day all!

We have had this quote already.......and it feels exactly right that it came up again today.....I know I needed it. Plus I don't need to make a picture because I already have one. Awesome sauce.

Good morning dear cowboy and VoVo and all of the 24ers, and good afternoon to the UKers and goodnight to the Aussies.

By being sober I can do so much more. Really grateful for it- I’m a different person today instead one who avoids and hides behind a drink. You keep showing up in sobriety, people can count on you. I pray and hope that my worry becomes more manageable. That I can rest and start sleeping again. It’s the faith thing, but also hope and strength.

I’ll try to sleep alarm free tonight. This was a good place to start. 24 please.

You always show up love. You are a wonderful daughter, and you have a lot on your plate.....I hope you can catch up on some fun and rest and you-time over the weekend....being run down makes it all harder. We need to get some vitamins into you and sunshine and sleep. xx ❤️

Oh no, that is awful love.
However, one way or another you have those boots now, and I am betting they are going to be very useful. Hope the work shows up. s ❤️


Morning zeppp.
Have a lovely walk ❤️

Cranberry juice and sparkling mineral water tastes much better, and doesn't destroy your life. Love you darling Purps. s

Hello, everyone!

I wanted to drop by and say hi for a while now, but I've been crazy busy!

To anyone struggling, I have NEVER thought I can stay sober for longer than a few days, but here I am at almost 8 months poison-free.

Well, what can I say, life has not been easy, stopping drinking didn't make my depression, social anxiety and several other issues magically disappear, but it definitely made it possible to manage my moods and make healthier choices. It took 4 or 5 months until I started noticing a real change in my thinking patterns and how I feel, but I'm so happy I made it stick.

I know it all sounds like a bunch of cliches, but I finally feel like I can start living my life as me. Some 'precious' memories never leave, but it helps me to stay sober. I sometimes wish I was aware of how distorted my thinking was when I was constantly drunk. I can't believe in all this insane crap that I've put myself through, but hey, I'm grateful for a chance to rebuild my life.

What else what else, things are good, I'm working a little too much at the moment as I'm trying to balance a full time job with working freelance, but hopefully I can reduce my hours soon...



Take care, guys!

Lots of love,
Snufkin
