Still sober
Over 2 years now. Still going strong. Get to thinking about getting a buzz once in a while. But there far in between now. And easy to just dismiss it. Still come here and read quite a bit. Thanks Dee and all at SR!!!

Hi lovely people. Hope your all doing ok? The world is a mad crazy scary place atm!! For me this would have been 💯 worse drinking and I’ve got SR to thank a good deal for my sobriety. Coming up to 8 months and lurking in the background! Take care and stay safe everyone.

Hi all!
Lurk quite a bit. Had most of 2019 sober and casually fell this year. Keep drinking till it’s a compulsion and no longer enjoyable. 3 days on the good side now. All this while battling symptoms related to covid-19. For a month now! Days of exhaustion, cough, and chest pains followed by recovery and a new cycle. Seen docs, x-rays, meds and the whole deal but never a true test.
Really just want to feel better to take care of my house and life while work is closed. Battling the voice that says if ya feel bad ya may as well drink. Fell for it already and was not a good scene. So not gonna argue with the voice.
Nice to say hi out of my shell and would like to be more than lurker.

Another strange day for me...
I was up the park taking my exercise when I met a really pretty girl on the bench. We started talking and hours seemed to pass quite quickly, anyway she asked me to walk her home and by the time we got to her front door step it was dark. She said to me, 'would you like to stay here tonight?' my response was horror and shock, and within a flash I replied, 'get stuffed' and I walked away...
Some people aren't right in the head, why on earth would I want to stand on her doorstep all night?

Hi Dee and everyone else at SR! I’m hanging in with the new normal. I really can’t complain because so many others have it much tougher than our family....none of us are on the frontlines of Covid-19, I’m working fully from home, my hubby is still working and has managed to avoid the shift shutdowns, furloughs and breaking up of crews at work so we feel lucky. High school and college students don’t pull on me like younger school aged kids would. However, I still struggle....simply the isolation, lack of social connection and not able to have the freedom to do whatever I want....and no gym....but I’m active walking, hiking and I recently cleaned up our workout space in the finished off basement and started rowing.
i think I would take the “freshman 15” and change it to the Covid 15.....I’ve put on 6 pounds in 5 weeks.....
but staying sober is my ultimate accomplishment. 1 month 2 days as today comes to an end.

I'm here - 2 years and 3 months sober. I read here every day and chat often when my friends are on-line in the chat. I'm working from home and have realized I suck at it. Not disciplined enough and way to many distractions. All in all life is good.

What a great idea this was Dee to have folks check in - so awesome to see familiar names from my earlier years here with SR I'm still checking on SR. Still sober (8 years this Fall), working back in the addiction field again, happily married for almost 9 months, love living in the Deep South and will continue to work my way to the ocean as there is where I'm meant to be. Loving my sober life

Hi Dee,
I love this thread. I am here often(lately) and Sober almost 26 years, hard to believe! I am hoping that Creekryder might pop in one day, it has been a long time. If you are reading this CR, let us know if you are ok.

How nice to "connect" with so many! I read here often lately just for that reason :-) I'm 5 years sober. I'm safe. I'm working from home where I live by myself. I'll be glad when we can all "take off our seatbelts and move about the cabin".

Hi all, I'm still here and still sober! 2.5 years now. Like everyone else, I'm locked down, in the house all the time. I'm lucky enough to have a job where I can work from home so working and sleeping. Practising gratitude daily and finding it hugely helpful. Wishing everyone all the best and stay safe!
