Well done. 👍 you can be justifiably proud of your progress. 1 year is not far away. A new chapter awaits.

[@Matt.687]

I'm 11 months sober, also thinking of never going back to drinking. The mental clarity and money I've saved is awesome.

Im on day 115 Ive had two occasions where I had wine. fam celebration and my daughters graduation but just a few glasses. I didnt beat myself up -it was a choice, but I dont want to approach this change that way moving forward. Im committed to going at least a year and want to do this entire decade (I turned 60) alcohol free. I joke if I hit 70 feeling it was a wasted effort Ill have a whiskey at that birthday lol Your videos have helped me because my mind seems to work similarly to yours. I also feel reassured by yr experience because I do have the ups and downs, good days and bad days mentally, and it’s reassuring to see another person on the sober journey feel similarly, especially many months in. So I know if the struggle continues not to give up! Ps omg just got to the part where you discuss filming and I think you and I are the only ones left on the planet w an iphone mini lol

Hi mate how you doing nice video, I’m nearly 6 months now I’m gonna keep pushing I WILL NEVER DRINK AGAIN

[@sober-diary]

Exciting times ahead for you. Like I said all the mega development stuff has started to happen for me in months 6-9.

[@jdon2020]

@@sober-diary do you every find your motivation towards sobriety comes and goes but then when it comes back and you’ve just finished a workout you know it’s 1000 percent the correct decision! Crazy how our brains work

[@sober-diary]

@@jdon2020 The trend I’ve found is that whenever I’ve doubted sobriety I’ve revisited the reason I stopped, done a load of research on the benefits and then come back with an even stronger commitment. First it went 3 months, then a year, then forever!

Day 13! Any tips for navigating first holiday AF?

[@barry5138]

Plan exercise every morning while people are hungover

[@sober-diary]

Hey, thanks for commenting. I'd need to know more about your specific situation to offer any tips. During my first month I'd committed to going AF for 3 months and I had a strong reason for doing it, therefore I was never going to cave in to any internal or external pressure. During this time I researched all the health benefits of staying AF for 3 months. The combination of an AF challenge, strong purpose and research helped me get through it.

Not sure if I should try just 1 pint of Guinness in Dublin, not 10 just 1, we've booked the factory tour. I'll be at 9 months by then.

[@gus5966]

have 10 pints and wake up in jail

[@phil6498]

Not 10, just 1

[@tammyjams22]

I’m on day 53! 😁
