Hi everyone I’m checking in, thanks for the reminder 28 days for me today!

We were driving from our vacation spot to a hotel yesterday and very briefly the thought came to mind that In the past I’d be in a little panic that I don’t have wine for the hotel, or an opener!. I used to drink heavily whenever we would trave.. The hotel was always a good reason 1-it helps me sleep and
2- we’re on vacation 3- who needs a reason 4- if I buy a box I won’t need an opener

we have a busy day today

Have a wonderful weekend!

Just checking in. Had a rough day yesterday with the voices. Wished I wasn't on Antabuse so I could get smashed. I was going to stop taking the antabuse. They're quieter today and I took my Antabuse this morning. It's day 45. Day 102 seems so far away (my record I'm trying to beat.)

It's day 46. Had a nice day yesterday. Hopefully today will be good too.

Walked 5km this morning and going to have a healthy breakfast now. Diet hasn't been going well but today is a fresh start.

Still taking the Antabuse though sometimes I wish I wasn't.

Hi y’all. The job change was very hard on me. I relapsed really hard. It’s a bit scary and I know I’m terrible with changes but I’m starting over today.

new job is good. It’s intense as it is busy already. But it’s a really inclusive format and my new manager is sober.

unfortunately one of my very close friends died suddenly. I say suddenly but he was an alcoholic. This is someone I loved, but also a huge trigger for me. He was, as a person

i immediately became hyper vigilant and wanted to travel to be with my friend family. Then I realized how financially unable I am these days. I can’t do anything or spend any money without crippling myself

i don’t know what to do. But one thing I do know is that I think I’m going to stay with this class because I have already laid some of my story out here and you all know me….

this last bender was scary. I was very triggered on all levels. I have never drank myself to blurry vision like this before

I know that alcohol is not a good thing in my life. I wrote a long list of reasons why I need to quit. I’m going to read it again and again

thank you all for being here.

Plenny,
Glad that you are back and continuing the journey to sobriety. If you can get rid of alcohol you can blossom and be all that you can be.

Just smoked my last cigarette.

Put my vape in my drawer. I'm keeping it because if I do relapse it'd be be better to vape than go buy cigarettes.

So this is day 0 off nicotine. Hopefully the last day 0.

I haven’t checked in for a couple of days, another sober weekend but a very busy one. Plenny so sorry about your friend and your relapse but you are back and that’s the main thing, you too willow keep fighting. FF glad you had a good day yesterday. I’m away to visit my sister for a couple of days, I was worried about this trip at one point but. I’m feeling stronger now. I’ll check in from the seaside! Take care all xx

Freedom,
Good luck with quitting cigarettes. This is not the easiest thing to do. I finally quit after many tries. If you can make it 3 days, the fight becomes easier.

Hi guys! 👋🏻. Been posting in the May thread, and not online as much since my diverticulitis. Readying, walking, etc..., and my daughter was home for a few days. Sobriety is going well at the moment. Gradually plugging away at the crap that piles up when drunk. We planted a few veggies and flowers in the garden beds on Sunday. I’m going to try some zinnias and basil, from seeds.

Plenny, I’m very sorry for your loss, and glad you’re back here with us. 💕

So sorry for your loss Plenny.

Phoebe planting flowers and veggies is something I’m going to miss this year with our current home being sold at the end of June. I’m tempted to plant a few vegetables seeds in my little patch. I am enjoy the bulbs and perennials that I’ve planted. I’m tempted to dig a little bit of some of my favorites

Sober53 you could plant some and leave them as a welcome gift for the next people perhaps? And then plant more when you get to your new home ❤️
