Any sober day is a successful day - good for you
Hey guys, just checking in.
I went home while it was still light today. That was novel. Very rare to get home and get some time to myself.
Was then faced with an argument with my significant other because I don’t like her method of shouting at kids, she doesn’t appreciate my lack of understanding for her situation.
Regardless, not temptation in sight. If anything looking forward to a nice early night. She’ll calm down later.
Peaceee
Great to see you checking in. Stay sober and stay kind. I am a believer that all challenges can be met while sober and a calm will surround you.
Checking in.
Today was and up and down. Coming to the end of a long long week. I’m really looking forward to being back with my kids at the weekend.
Looking forward to waking up in the morning knowing i can happily drive my kids anywhere they need to be without the fear of being discovered that i’m probably wayyy over the limit to drive despite being 10+ hours of sleep.
Anyway, weekend is nearly upon us guys!
Just checking in.
Today i am back home which is nice but it is a shift in environment. There’s a funny thing about shifting environments that everything changes all of a sudden.
The routine from the past 6 days is all of a sudden a completely different routine.
Anyway bit busy tonight. But i’m still here sticking around for a sober weekend.
Yes, keeping going on journey. One day at a time! You got this!
That wacky flamingo made my Friday
Thank you Have a great weekend!!!
Howdy.
Today was a day on holiday. I was happy to be able to drive the wife and kids at whatever time we felt ready, not trying to stall time until I felt sober enough that I could justify it to myself…
After eating we went to a grocery store to buy snacks. At that point i felt myself faced with the question: do i buy some beer? That would be the usual course of behaviour, wait until the kids sleep and sneak out to drink alone. Done it countless times. But i decided no. What made me decide no? Party because of my ‘streak’ partly because i found myself trying convince myself that ‘it’s ok to feel bad tomorrow cuz you don’t have to do anything…’.
Then i wondered why am i giving myself permission to feel bad. Shouldn’t i be giving myself permission to feel good?
Still going to get a small amount of alone time, but it’ll be with coke zero tonight, thanks.
Still here. Not much to update. Feeling good, looking better…
That’s good news! Keep it up
