Oh shit. With you in spirit. Combine that kick ass attitude with cool serene looks. And you’ll beat him (at least in spirit)

Day 24 check-in
Tooth abscess is almost cured now. But it was really really painful. Lots of painkillers, ibuprofene and antibiotics. But no alcohol for sure.

Megan! Hope things are good with you. I’m back on here again too. Had a rough time since January but trying to get it back together again myself.

Day 373 :coffee:
Tired and grumpy…
I’m not at my best in autumn/winter time. When the days starts to shorten my mood gets a downfall. I think for a bit it’s the lack of daylight and for the most it’s me hating the dark ànd the cold. I florish when the sun is shining and I can wear a t-shirt. Just simple.
So now the rain kicks in and fallen leaves everywhere and feeling irritated makes me searching for my day light lamp.
So found him and he’s loading now so I can use it tomorrow.
Maybe I have to go to bed early tonight, that might help too. Hate myself feeling this way :pensive:

Aw chin up Buts! I totally know the feeling-he’ll, I ran to Europe for all of September to get away from the changing of seasons! :sweat_smile: but I find comfort in fireplaces, hot drinks and really good books. I enjoy “turning over a new leaf” once fall comes/change out my clothes, put my comforter on with flannel sheets…there is a simple beauty to autumn. Before the stores begin to get crazy and the holiday rush begins…this is my first fall sober so I’m going to take it one day at a time, as should you :heart: if anything enjoy the subtle changes of the greenery around you everyday…:grin: ps your cat is beautiful

I feel you. Usually don’t mind the weather if I just have a proper gear. But today, it’s grey and raining and it affects my mood which was already low yesterday. I have a daylight lamp too in kitchen, maybe should carry it with me all the time… Plus headache… and so freakin’ tired. Well, this too shall pass. Wish you a great sober day inspite of the circumstances :hugs:

Edit love the cat, my Paavo says meoow hello

Thank you for your sweet words. If I’m rational, I can think those things you’ve said. But I’m emotional now and not so rational. Have to refocus again I guess. Thank you for reminding me for it! :pray:
And it’s not my cat, but I liked the picture :grin:
Here is mine, he looks as grumpy as me :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

Woke up and it’s day 15. Random thought Can anyone become a Councillor or start a little group to share experience or do you need shit loads of qualifications. I’m getting bored and want to do something to help in the community. Not so much like AA but life lessons about anything, I don’t pretend to know the answers to everyone’s problems but when you sit and listen and let people talk they often find their own answers.

  1. Day off. Coffee. Rested. It’s really nice I can go to bed and sleep after a late shift within an hour or so after getting home. When I was drinking I thought I had to unwind first and drink at least a bottle of wine first. Couldn’t get in bed till 2 or 3 am. Last night it was 12:15. So now I’m up and about and ready to do stuff. Love being clean and sober. Have a great day all! Sober and clean that is. Love from Amsterdam.

@SoberWalker Yes the day light lamp. Going to dig it up too. I do like autumn but I don’t like the lack of daylight, especially when getting up in the morning. So that’s a good time to use it for me.
