My app has alerted me today, based on my 20 drinks/week that I inputed, that I have passed on 500 drinks! The more I think about it the more I know 20 drinks/week is wrong... I feel like it could be over 35 drinks/week instead... A couple swings out of the bottle when I got …
Being educated… and trying to stay sober

Aware
I'm painfully aware there are 2 full vodka bottles, 2.5 whiskey bottles, a half-a bottle of wine, 2 beers & 2 wine coolers in this house. My friend left the wine coolers here 12/31 (even after I told her I wasn't going to drink them and didn't particularly want them in the house)... "I'll come …

Sober COVID Weekend # 7
Safer at Home weeked in # 7 in the books. Two not so awesome weekends in a row 😦 but I survived and more importantly I stayed sober. As I bickered with my husband on Saturday I could only remind myself this situation would only be more escalated if I were drunk. As I chatted …
Lifetime Regained
My Sober App says I have now gained 5 more days to my lifetime by quitting drinking. The App says within 1-3 months (I have hit this time-frame) your grey matter and neurons are on the mend and your mental clarity should be better! Some days I would totally agree with this! My first month …
COVID-19 and Sobriety
