Wow that sounds really cool. I’m really jealous. I wanna have an experience with a (nice) ghost so bad. I wish we lived closer.

ain’t it just, there’s only one thing more dangerous to an alcoholic than a bad day and that’s a great day.

I really shouldn’t eat any more but there was a saying I used when I was drinking it was something like “oh OK then I’ll just have one more”

Usual day with the usual results, if I repeat the same actions of recovery on a daily basis, not relying on yesterday’s program to keep me sober today, then I stand more of a chance of getting the same result. The rest I leave to something I have no understanding of apart from it works.
Be strong be grateful be prepared to do whatever it takes.

Good day sober and feeling a sense of achievement today, OK I’ve been here before but doesn’t mean I was ever going to find my way back, the people in here make it all worthwhile bc it’s a good feeling to be on the winning team for a change. Not too impressed that I’ve got to wait til the new year to do step 5 but it is what it is and gives me time to read some more BB and read it again but from a different perspective than 3 months ago. That’s what I love about the big book as we grow the message becomes clearer and also changes to the next phase of our recovery until ultimately all any of us can do is offer our experience, strength and hope to other suffering alcoholics or drug addicts in the hope that it will help at least one. I have a message and that message is god, may you find him now. Be strong be grateful between me and you it works if you want it enough.

2 years ago I lost a long sobriety streak bc I drank at the works Xmas party, today was the works Xmas party and it didn’t enter my head, in fact I even got the presseco out for everyone else and not so much as a “wouldn’t it be nice” entered my head. This is progress, it’s 2 years in the making but it’s still progress. last Xmas eve I spent almost in tears at an AA meeting not understanding why I couldn’t have a drink for Xmas. This year its very clear to me why and I’m a lot better off for accepting what I am and what drink takes from me.
Remember sobrieties not just for Xmas 
Be strong be grateful believe in santa.

Did the craziest thing today and spent Xmas day totally clean of drugs and alcohol, this is a special moment bc I can remember the last 2 Xmas very clearly and the pain and stupidity and emotional strain were awful, this year though I feel blessed to be able to do this and be happier without drink and drugs than with…
Yes there is a quiet little voice poking but that’s just out of old routines so to be expected. The louder voice these days is the one saying Well Done Boy, How’s that feel? And it feels great.
Be strong be grateful be the bigger person.

definitely sober is always a good day just nothing else really grabbed my attention today, actually I did have a really good meeting tonight, a 40 minute one person share on forgiveness and it was very close to my own situation so got a lot out of it. It’s nice to have a reminder just how far we have grown sometimes.
The one thing I will share is if anyone has past trauma and you want to know how to get through it, that’s exactly what you have to do, go straight through it. Not around it or gloss over it or try and skip past it you meet it head on and come out the other side. Somebody who once hurt me as a child is dead now so what is the point in carrying any hate or resentment, the only person who feels it is me so what’s the purpose, none.

woke up to bad news which put a downer on my day then work rang again asking me to sort stuff out so that’s the weekend off gone and feels like I’ve not had a day off. Then I start using what I have learnt and stop playing god, use the unfortunate situations of others to appreciate how well I’m doing today in my own recovery, be grateful that people can phone me and I am in a position to sort it all out which I have done. Look at some of my own defects and stop being lazy and resentful. Every day we can learn something new about ourselves and our part in life, every day we can try just that little bit harder. Be strong be grateful.
