Whaaaat! That’s so cool. I haven’t been reading through much so missed this, if you’ve mentioned it before.
How is it? What type of farm?
And will you finally find out what does the fox say?

My friends! Day 4 .
Today good mood , at last . Knowing myself I have to be careful as when I have too good mood , temptation for alcohol can come. So I must be very careful today.
Anyway I want also to enjoy my day at work and than at home with family. Tonight AA meeting again of course will help me to stay focused on my disease.
Also you all are helping me so much .
Have a sober day ,

Day 346. Went to my second meditation class last night, trying to establish some momentum. Its really great and Im glad to have found it at this stage in my journey. I like how it isnt focused on recovery at all and enables me to apply the principles in a way that suits me. It fits where I am right now.
Have a great day folks

Checking in 1yr 16 days… Still insane as hell but living in gratitude. Reflection today helped me to understand that trying to feel good is not the point today. I’ve have been trying to feel good all my life through substances and people. Today is all about managing difficult feelings without blowing shit up in my head.
Still progressing

@KevinesKay grab hold of something and just hang on! Each time you walk in the wrong direction, you just make it harder to come back. If I was at the point where you are, I’d already be gone. I hope you reach out to someone. I care about you. I hope you’re still sober!

Checking in sober. I’m happy to see the New York Times publishing more articles about how alcohol is problematic, and hard to quit, even if you haven’t necessarily been drinking in classic alcoholic pattern. Maybe there are signs of a little bit of cultural change. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/01/31/sunday-review/alcohol-drinking-problem.html?smid=nytcore-ios-share

- Visited Rijksmuseum. Been going there since I was a little kid, grew up and went to school close by. Didn’t go for years but started again after I quit smoking and bought a year pass for most museums in the Netherlands. We have to reward ourselves for fighting and beating our addictions.
Anyhow, this time my favourite painting was this Monet. probably has something to do with seeing this little guy, alone on the road. Spoke to me yesterday. Even though I know I’m not alone. Thanks to you all. Have a good sober and clean day all. Love from Rijksmuseum Amsterdam.

Take care of you 
will miss seeing you ever day on your break.
On the edge of my seat reading your post, and so in awe of your strength. You made it through and you can do this. There will be some really hard days, and you just proved to yourself, although not easy, you can push through!!

Checking in at 133.5 days sober and 1.45 days ED free. Still angry for my slip, but grateful it didn’t last longer. I feel strong.
Yesterday was my day to go back to the gym. Hurdle after hurdle for me to use as excuses not to go. Like big ones, I won’t get into it. But I went! The lovely man that owns the gym came up to me and introduced himself as he knew I was a new member. I let him know if my gym anxiety, and that I was training for a spartan. He’s going to keep on me to make sure I get my comfort level up and help me get ready for the spartan. It made my day. It’s a smaller gym and I fell like I’ll get comfy pretty soon

It’s 6 am. I’ve been up for 3 hours already because of poor eating habits. I know not to eat too much too late, but I do it anyway. My upset stomach will wake me up in the middle of the night. I’m working on it! It’s challenging to eat at the best times because of work.
@anon79808082 it’s sad to hear about your struggle with motivation. But I know you’re not going to give up. You’ll find it.

The Rijksmuseum is awesome, one of my favourite places in your fine city. That Monet is cool. This painting by Breitner was my favourite when I visited last September. Perhaps says something about where my mind was at that time?
