Count me in.
On day 14 here and feel like Im on a roll now.
Still wary of getting complacent of course, but Im looking forward to getting back into taking care of myself more with good food and exercise habits.
Also trying to sort out some other areas of my life Ive neglected for too long, and getting stuck in to some good projects around the house and garden including my vegetable garden.


Good luck to each and every one of us 😁

Hello Marchers of 2023!

I'm from the March 2013 class and next Thursday I will have 10 years sober, so, I just wanted to let you all know to stay strong, 10 years ago, I was in the same situations you find yourselves in now.

I'm not going to say it was easy all the way, but I will say it was more than worth it.

Our Class of 2013 was one of the greatest tools I had available to me,

Please use you time here as best as you can, stay close and stay involved and hopefully you will all be able to pass in a note like this to other classes!

Stay Strong
Ken

Hi Class

Pledging (sober 187 days) I will never drink/drug ever again no matter even if my butt falls off.
That leaves a good bit of leisure time on my hands currently. Working on how to engage life now that the constant being in a drunken stooper time has ended. I'm going to find that tiger and grab it by the ....no...and pet that tiger. Anywho Going to find something to do constructive. Just checking in

Took the day off, might take tomorrow off too, going to see how I feel in the morning but I need to make money. I had lunch with my sober buddy, we have 60 days today. Then I took a long walk with my husband and dogs. All of 2023 sober so far. I need to work on cutting back on my nightly ice cream 🍦 better than nightly cocktails I tell myself.

thanks dee for sasying im always welcome here, i know i am and i wish i could voice more about my struggles which seems that im in pretty bad shape. i took my blood pressure yesterday and wow ive never had it so high no wonder i have red face and getting headaches.i have other things going on with my body which i know that my body is screaming me to stop putting this poison into my body. guess on postive note is just get through the withdrawls and get my **** together and things should get better.

no dee im not as i normaly have low blood pressure but i know its just the drink thats caused my bp to be high. im sure once im through withdawel and off the poison it will come back down x thanks for asking. I will keep an eye on it and if it doesnt go down i will get it checked out. do u know it will be 20yrs in 2yrs time that ive been here on this site, its shameful that im still moaning and not sober.if i dont do this i may not make it to 20 yrs. sry for being so black. i know this place is a life saver for so many. right what did i say yesterday i have to stay postive!!!! ive got this!!!!

I took me 15 years to quit Erratic so 20 years is not that bad looked at it that way.
The key is willingness to try new ways of doing things

Erractic. Stay strong. It took me 19 years to achieve more than 42 days of sobriety until 10/2/22. I have been sober since by coming here everyday, holding myself accountable, sharing my struggles and asking for help and support. That has gotten me to this point. As you know from being on this site all are here to support and show the way. Keep following the path. You will not regret it.


Pledging for today. Day 151.

I'm going to breakfast with a nephew this morning, then I have an appointment for a haircut.
. My hair is kinda long right now, I've been holding off on getting it cut before my vacation next week.
It's interesting how seeing a seedy looking unkept person in the mirror can add to thoughts of negativity.
Pledging another day of sobriety.

Good luck today erratic. All are here to help you through. Each day will get you closer to being rid of the poison. You can do this.
