Hi all, welcome to the Feb class of 2023 from the Feb class of 2016.
I’m 7 years sober today. It really can be done….I’m not sure I truly believed that until I did it.
sending love and strength to everyone just starting out and to those returning to start again ❤️

Congrats to everyone racking up the days.
Hi Citrus. Congrats on day. Looking forward to being in a class with you again.
Had a good day. Best day in a long time. nothing specific just a general feeling of meeting goals and getting through stuff.

I'm joining again after many years away. I've been in and out for several years. The most consecutive sober time that I've had is five months and it was because of sober recovery. Hi Venuscat! All, it's Day 2 for me today. It's a miracle that I got through 24 hours. Netflix binging Dubai Bling , which is mindless but entertaining helped. I'm going to take it one day at a time. 24 hours. Here we go!

Hey there!
Pledging for another 24-hours to go with my 159 days sober/clean.
Breaking out
is following your bliss pattern,
quitting the old place,
starting your hero journey,
following your bliss.
You throw off yesterday
as the snake sheds its skin.

You always get me to look up beautiful images or amazing quotes, dear Zen. I am ashamed to say I hadn't heard of Joseph Campbell, but I knew he was one of us as soon as I read that poem. Now I am reading about him.
PS. I am taking a poetry class right now, and I LOVE it. ❤️

In. Hello class. I look forward to accomplishing our goals together. I am on Day 1 as I had a few Guinness a
the last couple of days bc I knew Feb 1 was my day. I got diagnosed w alcohol induced pancreatitis around the beginning of October so I have not drank a lot the last few months. However the Dr. told me to quit completely as it could kill me and I would break down every month or so and have some drinks. Fast forward to last week and I kinda went off the handle. A couple of blackout nights w friends that were not good. When I drink I don't stop so its not sustainable. Something bad will happen if I continue to think I can moderate my drinking.
I'm interested in not just sobriety at this point but recovery. Plan is to hit up a lot of meetings, stay close here, and really believe that life is so much better without alcohol. I drank about 5 or 6 times since October and all the sober days in between were fine. Did not miss it much of course I was in a lot of pain from my pancreas. Did not drink during the holidays and it was fine. As soon as I started feeling a little bit better though I was back at happy hour.
Anyway I am rambling. Bottom line I have to stop for my health. 0 room for moderation. Excited. Lets do this.
