Happy Good Friday. Alcohol used to be illegal to sell in Ireland on Good Friday so naturally people stocked up Holy Thursday and Good Friday was the biggest drinking day of the year. We really do have a mildly insane drinking culture here.

Thanks Dee. Fall down 1000 times, get up 1001 times and all. Hopefully my last time falling down. I'll probably do the 1pm zoom meeting since I'm a bit under the weather.

I have good news. Might seem small but feels like a good Friday miracle. My coil was burnt and I was broke. Then I found an unopened coil in my drawer. I was sure I didn't have any. Maybe my higher power put it there lol, but it's hard to imagine St Catherine doing such a thing lol.

I feel so stupid. 13 days and I relapse immediately before seeing my PO. This is just self sabotage.

Pledging for today. Day 543.

Anna

Needingtochange, I'm so glad you enjoyed your trip. It must have been exciting. Well done on staying sober.

RunnerF, well done.

FiveTries

RunnerF, I keep running but looks like I'm not gonna be catching you.

Pledging for day 452 here

Congrats FiveTries and Runner! Keep up the great work! Seeing you pile up those sober days is motivating for me!

I am checking in to commit to 24 more sober hours with you all. Day 16 here. Busy day ahead at work today and glad I am taking it on sober and without a hangover.

ODAAT. I won’t be picking up that first drink today. Have a great day all!

I fell asleep and missed lunchtime AA. When I woke up I did watch a linear algebra lecture. I hadn't done any maths since Wednesday morning. Drinking really kills my maths progress . Nice to be back at it

Hi all. Back from our trip a couple days ago. I was not successful in staying sober for the entirety to the trip. I’m trying not to view it as a failure, but more of an awareness of how quickly I can flip from sobriety being important to not caring. I’m a bit disappointed given that I did handle some triggering things well, but ultimately fell
into old patterns.

The college visits went well and we learned that small liberal arts colleges are the best fit. So in that respect it was a successful trip.

Day 1 and feeling a little defeated, but eager to get back to doing the things that were working.

Hope the hangover's not too rough CH

Alessandra

Glad your back CH

Apparently I can’t count 😝 today is day 46

I'm being quite generous calling today day 2. I was drinking midnight ish Wednesday night and not sure if I drank past 1159pm. But it feels like day 2, y'know? Like I was very much sober and hungover yesterday and feel fine today?

Steely

If it were me I’d call it day 1 because in 6 months time I won’t give a shite because I’ll still be sober.

”very much sober” …. Only a tiny bit drunk at 11:59. You must be kidding.

It’s not about how you feel next day it’s about the commitment to complete sobriety. . You always seem to leave a ***** open, just that tiny bit Freedom.

Steely

The asterisked word is not offensive. It means a crack, an opening. Shakespearean even.

freedomfries

I suppose. Day 1 it is

Steely

In six months time you won’t have to come back and correct your error. Clean as a whistle.

freedomfries

That's true Steely.

My cold is finally getting better. I can vape without coughing up a storm. I slept for most of today though, hope I don't have problems getting to sleep tonight..
