Just too busy to drink even if I wanted to and I definetly donāt want to anyway but my days are so full at the moment and I donāt mean burning myself out with shit loads of mundane tasks just to fill the hours, everything I do feels good atm, nothing is a chore in fact itās a pleasure, work hard play hard used to be my moto and playing meant drink and drugs for a well deserved hard slog at work but work is good and people are pleasant most the time bc Iām pleasant most the time and the way they treat you is a reflection of how you treat them. You reap what you sow. Be strong be grateful.

still got no bad news. When your a fully blown addict bad news is all you ever seem to have but sobriety brings with it a love of all things and itās seems to shine right back at you. A person at work who thinks she eats too much chocolate is now putting some of my routines into her life and its just nice to have any positive affect on anybody. So tonight Iām sending out some positive vibes to all of you and make no apologies for being so sickenly happy. Be strong be grateful.

Good day up to a point, Made lots of people happy being unselfish, made one person miserable being unselfish, You win some you lose some.
So far Iām a bit cock sure of myself and my sobriety but Iāve now got 7 days off work and thatās a lot of me time so letās see how sober I really am. Be strong be grateful.

Today has confirmed that I have absolutely no say in what happens in the 12 hours or so I am awake, I can have plans or ideas but life may well have a different idea than me. Weāre all just along for the ride and the only thing we have to do is stay sober and we can take it all in our stride. Visited my old drinking and drugs buddy today and just for a second thought better of it but this time I have faith and a belief in myself that I would be OK and I was. Itās a beautiful gift sobriety so as ever Be strong be grateful.

Before I even got out of bed this morning one of my daily challenges was to open up to someone so I thought I would do a share in an AA zoom meeting and while I was waiting I realised that my mind automatically presumed opening up meant tell someone all my problems. Turns out I canāt think of a single one so spent 7 minutes being grateful. Isnāt it great how just by being sober life deals you a better hand. I know there are people on here who are currently going through certain things and would likely disagree but as I said to a good friend earlier, yes youāve got a load of shit going on but by picking up that shit goes into another level. Lifeās gonna happen thatās the deal we made, we wanted sobriety so we could cope with it so donāt be surprised when it tests you bc youāve put yourself in the best position possible to get through it. God will never give you more than you can carry. Be strong be grateful.

This bloody nightly journal seems to be going on forever and aināt that the nature of the beast bc it means my recovery has been going on forever. Lifeās still good, Iām still good, come on 2500 posts bc there will be no to be continued. When Iāve got to the end sober it wonāt be about me anymore itās about giving what Iāve learnt to others in the hope it helps one person. Be strong be grateful.

Feels like itās taking ages to build up these days again but this time round Iām really not too concerned with numbers Iām more concerned with feelings and this feels good this feels right. Iāve been and had a few pub lunches in the last few weeks with no problems, Laura has drugs and drink in the house with no major problems, nothing I canāt handle. To me there is nothing to gain, when we were at the pub today I jokingly swapped our drinks around when she wasnāt looking and she gave me that look so I explained to her if I was to have one sip of her drink we would be at the pub all day then go home via the shop for more and all I would feel would be ill. That shit disgusts me when I sit here and think about it, anyway Iām running on a load of shit so as ever be strong and be grateful.

Good news bad news kind of day, I love to watch how people grow and the joy of just ābeingā is enough. Also the shock when someone else in the same position suddenly gets hit by the other side of life and sobriety is so quickly taken away. This wakes me up and is a reminder of how vulnerable we are at any given moment. This is real, this is why I always finish my nightly journal with be grateful. You have all been given a gift for 24 hours and thatās the gift of life. Thereās no point in owning the world if your going to lose your soul in the process, appreciate what you have itās got you this far.
Be strongā¦ Be grateful.
