Time flies! I was really hoping I’d remember to post on day 200, but it’s kinda nice to know it slipped my mind. Some days are still really hard. But I’m happy to say most days are good. It’s crazy to think about what my life looked like 7 months ago, and the 16 years of drinking before that. I look at pictures of myself from back then and compare them to now, and it’s like a completely new person. Not even just physically (though dropping 2 pant sizes and having significantly clearer skin doesn’t hurt), but emotionally too. I feel like there’s more life in my eyes now. Probably because there ..read more

I'll hit 4 weeks on monday. Longest i've been in I don't even know how long. Probably mid teens if I have to guess. Problem is I'm still just as miserable. All the little things about life I have no control over still bother me. Really no noticeable savings, skin is just as horrible as ever, don't feel optimistic or hopeful and I'm insanely tired all day every day Been getting bloodwork done and everything has been fine so far so no idea what else to do unless something comes back from the dr Here's to making it at least 30 days in a few days submitted by /u/Fit_Strategy_1646 [visit reddit ..read more

Well, I did it. 30 days (again..)! It does feel different this time around. I have a strange confidence when I say I will not drink with you today, and it feels pretty damn good. I'm looking forward to getting every single chip on this journey through sobriety, and I can't wait. I read this recently, and maybe it'll help some of us enjoy the journey and keep us focused on where our feet are. "I wanted the whole deal right away. That's why I related so well to the story about a wide-eyed new person and an old-timer, envying his accomplishments and many years of sobriety, the old-timer slapped ..read more

To be honest when I quit I put my goal at just being able to at least not touch a drop of alcohol for a year. After years of binge drinking I wanted my life back. As I got near the end of that year I began to see the finish line and started to crave it. I was thinking thoughts I won't relay here because I don't want to trigger anyone. But, one year came, and has passed... And I didn't run out and grab a 6 pack. Idk if I'll never drink again, but I know I don't want to be in my basement chugging whiskey in front of the TV ever again, or even getting certified drunk for that manner. Anyways, ch ..read more

I don't post here much anymore, but I don't have anyone else to share this with other than my wife (who wrote me a very sweet card today). In the early days this place was crucial. Thanks to all you hot bitches. Alcohol is so stupid. Dear lord. It almost makes me laugh to think about it, sometimes. Bye bye submitted by /u/RogueModron [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Stuck on the couch all day with a sick toddler but I'm still so friggen happy. I tried for 5+ years to get sober and it finally clicked 5/4/22. I love you all! submitted by /u/funny_bunny33 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I have to share todays reflection because as of today, recovery is a matter of life or death. My vital prognosis is on the line now. French dude here, turned 50 in winter. Ten years ago I was a handsome, wealthy, healthy guy. High income, a successful career, ran 12km twice a week, practiced yoga, went swimming in the Mediterranean whenever possible. Single father in a new fulfilling relationship. Then came the high pressure job 70h/week in a cocaine and booze fueled industry. Gave up on my physical and mental health, endured two burn-outs. I always loved the club and rave scene. Guess what w ..read more
