I’m with you two; yesterday instead of sweets I got grapes, Triscuits and a big orange for treats! Although I do like the yogurts with the goodies in them!

Hope you will be in easier sailing waters soon so to speak. Seems like hard time and for a while now, you had enough of that feeling I do understand. How long does it take untill the old house is out of your hands? Your profile name is a good one maybe for this occasions: be like bamboo. Try to rock with the occasion. It prevents you from breaking.
Hope it’s not too serious @Vintage? Take care and well done for your sober numbers piling up!
That must be hard to watch on the sideline of it @Jane.c, nothing you can do about it. Hope she can find the “off” button again.
Almost 3 weeks @Bob123!! 
Sorry to hear about your health problems @Conor689908. Hope they find a solution for it. Are you in pain?
Congratulations @C_8!! The big 90 has arrived! 
Welcome @bluejai 🙋 and well done for the 37 days!
Day 491 
Nothing special today, so I have to make it special myself I guess. Outside it’s grey because of the fog, inside I’m feeling a little grey myself today. So I’m going to dye a bit of my hair pink today, just because I can

- Had a confrontation at work yesterday afternoon with one of my patients who is a smart, narcissistic antisocial MF that made me think of drinking for just a moment. Walked out and had some time in the park with the storks, called a good friend and talked it over. And talked some more with colleagues and thought about it last night. Much better way to handle it than boozing and trying to forget it all. Now on my one day off, sunny outside, going to go for a walk after PT. Have a good day all! Sober and clean that is. Love form Amsterdam. @zzz keep going on the non-smoking front too friend. Yes you can. @SoberWalker the sun is out here Claudia. Hope with you soon too. @C_8 90! Yay! Congrats!

Checking in at 119.49 days sober and 19.44 days ED free.
I almost lost all of those days yesterday. I brought all the legal work to the attorney’s office yesterday and signed off on the complaint. I thought the divorce was going to be final tomorrow… today is officially 1 year since we separated. However, it may be up to 60 more days. I just want it over a behind me. It’s sad and I want to move on. I ran into the guy that owns the firm on the way out. He’s always so lovely in person and we always have so much to talk about. Then the late night perv texts happen. Me thinks he has a drinking problem.
I just feel like now there is two more months to chicken out of this divorce. I don’t get why I even would. If I’m 100% honest, I think our bond was strictly sex. My attraction to him was wild. I now look at him like what was I thinking, but it is what it is.
When I left the office, my urge to drink and act out with my ED was ridiculous. I didn’t care in that moment. I got through it, but I feel it sitting there. Like what’s the point of being sober. Sigh.

Day 76 of no alcohol. Noticed the physical benefits around the first month of sobriety but it’s only now I’m starting to notice the positive impact on my mental health. I’m sleeping better. I’m a lot less anxious. I have more energy. Generally feel like my brain has been cleansed.

Boss of my life checking in with 54 days. I have a pretty easy job today. I only have to get one thing right—going to bed sober.

That’s really frustrating! Proud of you for staying strong. It’s not worth a relapse. I’m hoping the remainder of the process moves fast for you.

I’m so proud of you for not picking up any substance Beth. That’s some really tough shit you’re going through and to think you still have another 2 months is crazy. I admire your strength. Hang in there. Sending you big hugs.

That’s great! 
Starting day 2 and I’m miserable. Made sure I had hubby take all cash with him because I will go buy pills. I want to stop the misery. I have to pull it together and take care of my kids. I stay home and I am THAT mom. Gymnastics,school volunteer, carpool, help everyone, I’m scared I can’t be that without pills. No one knows except for a select few people in my life and they do not know the severity of it. definitely gonna go minute by minute today.

Well that sounds like a shit day all around. I’m so so glad you didn’t pick up or act out. You’ve worked so hard to get this far. Two more months isn’t that long if you think big picture. You’re headed in the right direction Beth. As far as the perv who texted you? I’d have to be reporting him somehow. That’s all sorts of wrong.

Day 132! Coffee Work. Therapy. That’s my schedule for the day. Wish I could skip the work part but that’s just not my reality right now. Everyone stay strong! One day at a time people. That’s all we have to do.
