Thanks for the kind words Venus and Ogs! I really appreciate it.

Welcome to the July group ST!

Grateful to be checking in on day 110. I am in for 24 more sober hours with you all. I won’t be picking up that first drink today. ODAAT

Have a good Monday everyone

I'm the same way! The same for me; that is why I'm joining the class of July to stay sober. July is my belly-button birthday month. I intend to give myself the gift of sobriety and health.

Pledging for July
This will be my 19th month.
Gonna set a goal to post each day in July as I've drifted off. Feeling confidently sober and grateful though. Still going through the steps with my sponsor too.

That's always the way it was for me, too. The never-ending hamster wheel of addiction. So great to be off. We can all do it together, truly ODAAT.

Good morning. So desperately wanted a drink yesterday. Still do I suppose. Anyway, day 44.

If you think you need to out more effort into recovery, FF don't hold back
You can continue to beat those urges and bat those throughts away - it will get easier

Thanks for the welcome. I am very glad to be here. I’m just very tired of drinking with “rules” in place, and trying to moderate. I just don’t do well with that. I have great intentions to only have one, but I just can’t do that. It seems my life works better when I just don’t drink. So that’s why I’m not drinking today. And most of all, I am not drinking today for me. I really have to be selfish about sobriety.

I’m here for July. Today is day #2 and feeling pretty crappy about myself. I know it’s one day at a time but after a bender getting out of that funk/ depression can seem insurmountable. I know I’ll get day two under my belt because I won’t drink today but hoping the depression and regret lifts soon. The post bender blues suck but I know I never have to feel this way again.

LoveDD I would say give yourself love and patience and focus on just getting through today sober. If your head hits the pillow tonight sober that's a win today.

LoveDD - I agree with Five Tries. I’m trying to keep it simple for today and not future trip. Be kind to yourself.

I didn't, I quit on the 5th. I remember very little about the 4th. Remember this is a leap year.
