Hello :wave: on Day 6 -
Yesterday night AA meeting only 2 people, me and a friend with long sober period but still a young guy . It was very very good for me . I can talk openly about all my fragilities and weaknesses of my character, and I start to discover a lot of things that I couldn’t see if I was alone . I really think that staying with others like me and talk openly as much as I can it helps me soooo much !
Of course also post here and read all of you helps me a tons !
All the best for a sober today ! :grinning::pray::heart:

Checking in at 135.48 days sober & 3.8 days ED free.

My body is tired from being back at the gym training for my spartan in April. But good tired! Leave it to me to procrastinate to this level :roll_eyes:. I’m pushing through my anxiety and I feel like this gym is a great fit.

@anon65470292 so… I drove to the address for The Recovery Dharma Meeting. There was no sign or anything to indicate where the meeting was. I got there 5 minutes early, but was shooting for 15… uptown traffic was a bear and it took forever. So I go in one door, says the ‘meeting’ is on the 4th floor. So I take the slow and rickety elevator up. Nope, that wasn’t it. So… I walk around to the front of the building, looking in the windows I can see one group of women that looks like a counseling session and another with 2-3 sketchy looking men in it (my interpretation, because I was filled with anxiety). It’s now 6pm on the dot, start of meeting. I got inside and looked through glass doors, two closed offices, one with a few pairs of shoes outside. I’m assuming that was the RD meeting. I didn’t want to open the door to walk in as it was now 1-2 minutes past start time :flushed:. I messaged one of the guys from the Facebook page earlier in the day, but never heard back. I don’t know if the meeting is only for clients of the recovery center it’s held at. So, I chickened out and went home with my tail between my legs :pensive:

Day 17 :slight_smile: feeling better today, was in a grump yesterday do not know why, but went gym that helped. Suppose I got to be realistic and realise you can get like this even though sober. But the rest is all positive, super proud of reaching day 17, chasing the tails of the superb numbers I am seeing on here WELL DONE you all drive me to continue

@GVLNative now that puzzle is a brain beater, you certainly push yourself :slight_smile: @Shannon1980 @Jen2020 hope we all storming into day 17 with strength and sobriety.

have a good day all :pray: :muscle:

Haha yes it is an acquired taste. I can only do it in my coffee with cream. The collagen is a “relax” blend that also has mangnesium & L-theanine, although I don’t think that improves the taste :joy: tried it mixed with water and it was :nauseated_face: I think the cream helps :grinning:

Day 3 sober. It is my birthday. 44 years old. Well, lately I am aware that it is so so important to live the present moment and not to escape as well to be deeply honest at least with one person in this life
