Day 415

I am just up to my neck with gratitude and appreciation today.

Yesterday’s court appearance went better than expected. The prosecutors requested a continuance, so nothing is happening until January 24th. This is happening because we asked for a better deal and they were open to the idea, but needed to see the victim’s medical records first. (which is good on many levels)

That buys me 5 weeks of PRECIOUS time to spend the holidays with my family and better prepare for my stay in custody, when the time comes. It also gives me time to work a little more, before I go in, which in turn will give my wife an additional 6 months of health care, in my absence.

There’s more to be grateful for here, but I won’t bore you with the details. Just know I’m happy and feeling supremely love - OH! AND ALSO: Three people from from my IOP showed up to court for me, along with my sponsor!
How cool is that!?

My 9 year old made a lovely family portrait with her grandparents, cousin, aunt etc. I looked at it again today and realized the only person

holding a glass of wine is me. Very carefully depicted wine glass. I know my drinking worried her, and it’s good to be reminded. I don’t want to be a wine mom.

That’s kind of cool you have that, with your mindset.
She’s a good artist too!

Holy shit it’s finally happening. Decided to get back on the ice, my one passions high that no drug compares too. I skated all my life but have touched the ice but 1 time to public skate since being released March 2018. Felt I didn’t deserve my passion back, still unsure if I do deserve it but I’m going to take it back regardless. Tonight when I lace up for a game I’m so unprepared for at the level I play at. I won’t give a shit if I’m the best which I normally do and am lol. I will be just happy to put those 2 blades on the ice and have a great time, laugh at myself and maybe get lucky with a goal or 2.

knocks and waves hey friends :blush:
Some months have passed after I left. After 1,5 years on the forum I wanted to connect with ppl offline. I found an AA group in my town and tried it but it simply wasn’t for me. I didn’t fit in. I tried german forums and jeez…you ask a question and, with some luck, you get an answer weeks later :expressionless: nope!
So I’m back :blush:
I think I’ll need weeks to catch up with everything on here lol
Going to finally get a shower after a long day of work and then I should sleep. But I know curious me…I’ll stay up late and read abd regret it tomorrow :joy:
Oh and btw, I’m still sober on day 716 :muscle:
