GOOD MORN I belong to an online group through FB called the Sober Living Support Group...very supportive bunch of people working to stay sober just like this thread. I came across a blurb on there that I'd like to share here:
"The goal isn't to be sober. The goal is to love yourself so much that you don't need to drink"
Happy, sober, relaxing OR productive day to all11 -
Good morning all! I finally feel better! Barely any vertigo. And I slept like a rock.
@lorrainequiche59 That's a great quote!! It's so true.

The Sober School website is always inspiring. Lately, I've been just staying home, a lot. Twice my car almost went to my old favorite bar to see if my friends were there. But I did some self talk and said "Do you want to suffer tomorrow for a little bit of fun tonight?". I decided it wasn't worth it. Wishing you a beautiful day!8 -
Hi Everyone! I'm back from London and Scotland. Nice to see the new faces! I imbibed on vacation though I was quite moderate compared to my former self. No more than 2 glasses of wine a day which believe me, is hard in Scotland. However I DO feel better being completely AF so back to day one again. I know for me, drinking is a slippery slope and I just can't afford to go down that road again. I'm booking my annual physical for December and that is great motivation to have good numbers in my blood work and on the scale.7

@RubyRed427 Thanks for sharing the sober school website. That post was very helpful for me.
I have failed so many times at being sober. I even went to a festival and chose not to drink and had such a blast and felt joy I had not in a while but got back to normal life and back to drinking. Trying again. Sober since Sunday. I know I am overall happier when I do not drink but yet I go back to it time and time again.

Hey everyone!
Just checking in at the start of day 655 AF.
There is something really good in every single day.
My family, friends, and co-workers make me laugh : I see a lot more humor in life these days
My home is cleaner than it's ever been : I have a lot more energy these days
I've completed projects around the house that have languished for years. : I have a lot more patience these days
I've finished 21 knitting projects, & I've started to learn to draw. : I have more time for creativity these days
I lift weights, and I run, and I eat a whole bunch of great food : I have more calories for food these days
I spend time every single day connecting on some level with my husband and daughter : I feel so loved these days
I hope everyone has a beautiful Sunday!
Karen

Good evening, friends! I came back from a whirlwind weekend four Hours away at my daughter's parent's weekend. It was wonderful but jam packed- 13,000 steps yesterday from the events we attended.
It was also a sober weekend. I also slept so good on a futon in an airbnb. Ex husband ordered a big beer while we ate dinner but the three other adults at the table did not. That was refreshing.
I did order a club soda. And I wondered why it looked so dark. I whispered to my daughter, I think down south the club soda is different. She sipped it and said "Mom, it's ginger ale!" LOL7 -

@kcn2bluesky Wow! That is totally inspiring! @RubyRed427 You are awesome! So happy you had a sober weekend at your daughter's school. I'm starting a new exercise commitment today and will continue to eat healthier and be AF. My physical is 12/19 so that's 2 months to really work on myself. I continue to be inspired by all of you!4
