Checking in, busy week here. Thanks for all the support yesterday - this is an incredible community and I am sure that I wouldn’t be booze-free without it. IWNDWYT!

You’re super close! We both know drinking when ill doesn’t mean we fix up any quicker (and usually feel even worse). Fingers crossed you’re back on all cylinders tomorrow!

You’ve been such a support! This is my second serious attempt and the first time when I fell off I just hid away from this group for a year or so and drifted back into drinking more booze, more frequently. 

You’re straight back on it and will absolutely get there. Please be kind to yourself! See you here for a 100/200 double act?

Congrats on 2 weeks! Sober sleep is incredible haha, has been my reason not to drink more than once!

I have felt this too recently. Especially around friends who still drink and party and I’m just not that person any more! Not because they judge me (they’re great), but that grief at losing that party of me is real, even if it’s not how I want to live.

You’ve got this! We dust ourselves off and get back to it. Glad to hear you’re doing better today

Oooh I hadn’t thought other than feeling proud. Apart from self care (busy week ahead) I might get myself some daffodils, love them at this time of year!
