Yes, actually it is my outdoor bike in an indoor bike trainer connect to my computer. You can also connect it to your TV with Apple TV and your phone. With that I could see myself lose races on the big screen. 
It is loads of fun and a good way to exercise in the winter months.
107 days here
Hell Hanna, I’m damn near looking forward to it.
This trial will be my rebirth.
So far so good. First day was a lot of safety stuff, and getting taught about seeding. It’s a tiny organic farm, only a few acres and no animals, but has a sizeable greenhouse in addition to the field, so in addition to produce it sells a lot of plants to other growers. Mainly vegetables and herbs, but some succulents as a cash crop.
WHAT DOES THE FOX SAY
murple murple eeeek!
Checking in on Day 196. Got the feeling a cold is trying to get me sidetracked. Gonna hit CVS, get some meds (and probably ice cream), and post up on the couch for the night.
Have a strong day!!!
Admirable attitude. I’m inspired 
The most recent DSM-5 shifted to use alcohol use disorder for a whole range of issues, vs the distinction between alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence (DSM4 and DSM-3), vs the use of “alcoholism” (which was in DSM 1 and 2 as a subset of “personality disorders”); that got dropped as a medical term in 1980 though of course it has clung on in popular culture much longer. I think there’s a little more recognition of the whole spectrum of substance and addiction problems now, as opposed to the more binary idea that you’re either diseased or healthy.
Hello yes aiming to keep strong and busy. Took all day to do 1 applications 15 page form to complete! But all done and sent off - what will be will be.
At the moment I plan each day, cannot look into future yet, as still wonder how I will cope at events e.g festivals etc, hoping I gain daily strength which will “tool” me up.
But still do not want alcohol that is a blessing, still get addiction thoughts, I have named the annoying voice Dianne Abbot (the most annoying politician in the UK in my opinion) and always muttering “Shut up Dianne” ha… people will think I am losing it the way I am going. But I do not care as long as I do not drink.
Yes keep strong peeps and will be checking in daily, and reading how everyone is doing. Lots of posts today.
Enjoy your day all
Rock on bro!
Never give up! You can do this.
“Im at this stage where I cant blame anyone but myself”
Is there another stage? Is there anyone else to blame ever?
And my real favourite is the saying “One day at a time” and I’ve been struggling with this one recently because for how long do we take it one day at a time? If you look at the broader spectrum, not an awful lot can be achieved in 24 hrs and even then you’ve got sleep time. The goal of achieving a state of sobriety takes time - it takes planning, it requires a certain amount of foresight and looking past all the bullshit and stresses of everyday life that make up some of the reasons why we gave into our addictions in the first place. If you want to save a ton of money, you need to plan for it, figure out how. If you want to decorate a room, you need to think about what you want that room to look like in the end. You cant just wing sobriety. Sobriety is not a day to day challenge, it’s a constant that needs to be maintained. Sobriety is like background music - You have to let it play and check it regularly to make sure the music doesnt stop. *** Its like writing a song - You cant know what the whole piece is going to sound like unless you know what notes, chords and phrases you are going to play next and if you dont play them, you end up standing there with a guitar in your hand with no sound coming out of it. You have to make that sound happen! I agree that sobriety is a journey but it is also a destination and before you can get to a point where you can say “I am sober”, you need to think about what that looks like, what does it involve, what do you need to achieve those little goals that make up the big “I am sober” statement. No-one should be congratulating you for going to work. No one should be congratulating you for paying your bills or getting you licenses renewed or keeping your belongings in order. This isnt an option, this is a requirement. I grew up in a place learning that if you didnt look after yourself, no-one was going to do it for you. Nothing comes for free, everything has a price - If you want a healthy, clear, successful life, the price for that is your addiction.
Look ahead - Look beyond what you already know and pay no mind to the hashtag.
*** Edit
I have found that every single problem in my life is directly related to my own actions. Thus making me my own worst (and only) enemy from what I can tell.
I really like this. I’ve had plenty of help from others in getting sober, but none of it would have mattered if I didn’t put in the effort.
Checking in Day 146. Stayed home from work today sick with a stomach bug and headache. Not my favorite day. My youngest kiddo is struggling with mental health issues due to a medication change her doc made last week. I’ve been playing phone tag with him since yesterday. On the plus side I’ve caught up on some sleep today. And I’m sober. Those are good things. Stay strong folks. Sober really is better.
Day 30!
In my head for a second I was like, a drink to celebrate! And then I was like wait a minute…
Awwww…
30 days, nice job!!!
Awesome 
here is an onion…
