Feeling sorry for myself so had a look and I’m 431 days sober. That’ll do for me.

100 days of no alcohol. Happened to glance at my counter app just there and it made me smile. Nice way to end another sober week.

Not ashamed to say I’m on Day 2.
Progress not perfection. I’ve seen what sobriety can offer me over the last 29 months in recovery and I won’t allow a moment of irrational thinking to destroy the progress and joy I’ve felt in recent years
Thanks for the kind words (most people)

If I WANTED to drink alcohol I COULD. There is an off licence over the road. I work from home on my own every day. There is absolutely NOTHING stopping me having a beer right NOW
But I choose not to because I don’t drink alcohol. It’s not part of my life anymore

The concept of alcohol is actually crazy

I was recently asked how many days sober I was by somebody who had a lot longer under their belt. It was to weaponise my length of abstinence against me into backing down and agreeing with them.
Don’t ever feel like you have to justify your sobriety to anybody. You own it

I started drinking at 17 and at 34 years old I started my sobriety journey
For 50% of my life I’d been binge drinking, secret drinking and drinking in the house
It’s great to know that for the rest of my life that % is going to get lower and lower and lower.
Sobriety wins

I started off only drinking in pubs / clubs with friends on a weekend
Then I started drinking in the house
Then I started drinking during the week
Then I started drinking in secret
Then I started drinking in the morning
Then I accepted I needed to stop

Let me be clear, your recovery doesn’t stop or restart if you relapse. I picked back up in May 2022 briefly but by God, I didn’t forget or dismiss the 458 days of sobriety that came before it. My journey started in February 2021 when my mindset finally changed towards alcohol

(Roughly, for those who don’t count days)
458 days was the longest I went. I’ll surpass that one day

It’s never really my intention or interest to share how many days sober I am because I find it more of a burden / noose around my neck at times BUT given my recent slip I’m happy to share I’m on Day 12
I’ve been on Day 458 before too. Just numbers 🤷♂️

One of the biggest debates in the Sober World is AF beers / drinks. I’m in recovery from alcohol dependency but I have introduced 0.0% beer into my life. I enjoy the taste and last night for example, I had one bottle whilst watching the football.
There is no ‘one way’ to follow

I drank for 17 years of my life. Binging weekly.
I’m 36 years old now and 25 months into my recovery so it’s reassuring and liberating to think I’ve made a difference pretty early in my life.
That’s just me though. There is no right age to do this. Just today

Started my Sober journey in February 2021. I’ve drank since then. Most of the time I’ve remained sober. In a perfect World I’d have abstained throughout the last 3 years but I don’t live in a perfect World

I’m 71 days sober for anybody that wants to know. It’s seemed important to some people in the last few days that they know my sobriety length.

Hello
#RecoveryPosse
- I’ve been on here for 3 yrs but just had a clear out of the accounts I was following because too many were either Bots or too Political. I’m here to engage with people in Recovery or Sober. Say Hi and I’ll give you a follow!
I need fresh faces on here 🤍

A really stressful week and unfortunately next week will continue to be tough with more hospital and appointments but I just want to say - Alcohol would have made it much worse. The temptation creeps in to numb your feelings but it is the biggest con going
I’m sober and present

Decided I’m not going to count days anymore. I’ve passed a year and I have no interest in ever drinking again so not sure why I need to remind myself every day anymore. Counting days has helped me massively in the first year but I don’t want to do it for the rest of my life

207
Once again, a thank you to everyone who engages with me on here. Even the few trolls keep me grounded.
I don’t go to AA so I don’t have that traditional group setting but I find Twitter (X) has been integral in my recovery and I’ve made many friends as a result 🤍
38

205
I’ve said it a few times and I’ll say it again - The recovery community I’ve found on here has been a huge part of keeping me sober. My friends and family don’t understand the struggles I’ve had and the ongoing fights recovery brings but you guys know. Will forever appreciate you

These last 4/5 weeks have been some of the hardest of my life. Seeing my 7 year old daughter in hospital and still not having the diagnosis is painful. I just want my beautiful, happy and funny girl back with us
I WONT go back to alcohol addiction. That’s the easy way out

Never thought I’d resort to blocking people on an Addiction Recovery profile / social media community but that’s an aspect of humanity I guess!

Walked down the booze aisle in the supermarket earlier and got the biggest urge to drink (out of nowhere!)
Wife out tonight so I had the perfect chance… according to my addiction.
No booze purchased and on we go. It’s passed.

Don’t let ANYBODY tell you how to DO YOU when it comes to staying sober.
If there’s one thing I’ve learned in my 22 months in Recovery there are so many different programmes, paths, mindsets, etc and they have all worked for somebody.
Don’t lose heart and keep exploring!

It’s my daughter’s ninth birthday today. I’ve been sober and present. Spent time with my ex-wife and her parents so we could all be together for my daughter’s “tea party”
I destroyed my marriage but I’m determined to be a good father and a friend to the family I gained then lost

I know people on here mean no harm telling me to go to a meeting, talk to God, pray, follow the steps, live ODAAT..
But so many of us in sobriety follow different paths to yours and it’s not a slight on what you do, you do you.
I personally detest religion but that’s me!

I NEVER take a 24hour stint of sobriety for granted. There was a time I never had a day without a drink
Don’t play down the success of a sober day. You should pat yourself on the back every day you achieve this
Whether today is your first day or your 10,000th

Anyone else seen their sugar intake spike since giving up the booze?

Don’t look at it as Day 1 mate. You’ve banked a lot of sobriety and progress. Yeah, you’ll feel shit for a few days but stick with us on here and we will support you. You’ll soon be back in the zone
You need to find purpose and things to love and do. That’ll be the game changer

Sometimes I just need to be direct…
You will only get sober from drink or drugs (or both!) if you are prepared to work hard and give it your all
Your addictive voice will latch onto the tiniest bit of doubt or weakness so you have to go all in. No half arsed effort

My 7yo daughter has been unwell since mid-October and spent a large chunk of the last few months in hospital. It’s been very difficult for us all and I’ve come close to drinking at points. My mental health has been very erratic too
We can be sober but life can still be a bitch
