Happy day 10 #alcoholfree. I was given a kickass job offer in WebOps so I’m considering it good luck. 😎

It is so hard being a mom.

I changed my handle to reflect my name because I'm a freak that likes consistency... and also, screw it. I don't know why I feel I need to have anonymity for my sober story; that's me being afraid to own the path fully. So here we are. Happy 9 days #boozefree!

It’s always the stupidest little things that throw me into an anxious fit and ultimately land me in, “ugh, I could go for a beer” land.

But NOPE. Not fcking today. I’m going to work through all this petty shit.

Does anyone else get irrationally pissed when you type out a long, intentional message and you get back a cold, one word response?

I need to stop turning to shitty people for support who seemingly don’t care about me and/or lack the self-awareness to realize how much that sucks. 🙄🙄

Turned out I was off on my count today so happy one week af to me! Landed a killer job opportunity and tentative offer so that’s great. 😎

Day 5 #boozefree over here and feeling pretty damn good. Had some kickass interviews for agency jobs today so we’ll see.

It’s insane to me how so many jobs now require like a 6-part process though. Seems pretty excessive, right? Maybe one day I’ll finally get my PhD and change that crap. lol.

Day 4 af.

Imagine being rich enough to do anything you want and choosing to take food and medicine from starving children to give yourself even more money.

Ya know, I have gone weeks and months without having a drink and not thinking about it. But as soon as I admit to myself it’s an issue again, it seems to be all I can think about. 🙄

But I just can’t do it anymore. It makes me feel like shit and I end up acting like a complete fcking moron.

Todays been a better day, but a quiet one. Not complaining.

I deleted FB and IG. Def won’t miss. And I’m stepping back from my PhD to focus on accepting that I’m enough as is.

My overachieving brain has been/is a huge problem. Not to mention, more debt just fcking sucks.

Day 3 af. Slowly, I’m building momentum again. Went to a killer TLC meeting this morning and found some comfort I needed.

I think the worst part is knowing I once had 554 days under my belt and feeling like I’m “starting over.” And maybe I am. But in a lot of ways, I’m just beginning again.

When they ban a book, find it and read it.

Day 2 af. Feeling disconnected, frustrated, and lost. Tried to do the best I could though—made coffee, showered, applied to jobs, cried.

Joined The Luckiest Club and started Laura’s first book. It’s unreal how relateable it all feels.

Hi. I created this account to connect with others who are #alcoholfree. Today is day 1 (again) for me. I feel pretty miserable and ashamed but wanted somewhere to put my thoughts and hopefully gain a community of support.
