Checking in day 518 if I can do it, so can you!
Ok, there is a lot of heavy shit up in here this evening (a la @TMAC ).
Bro, I say go for it. I never had children. Not by choice; it just happened that way. It (and alcoholism) are the two big mistakes in my life. I wish I had done things differently. I don’t really see a way at this point for that to happen in my life. You have a hard decision to make, I am sure you will find the right path for you.
You mentioned that her clock is running out in your post. Not sure, but this may mean a sizable age difference between you and her? If so that makes the decision harder. Especially if you are really focusing on that versus children. Not sure, but good luck.
Checking in
Okay, I did not ride the bike yesterday because of rain. Came home tonight and it was clear as a bell. I put on my kit, hopped on the bike, and away I went. About 30 mins into the ride a black cloud rolled in and dumped buckets of cold rain sideways. Mother Nature had her revenge!!!
Moral of the story? Never tempt Mother Nature.
Day 18
I did on May 22nd but I vape a few times a day.
It’s been a while since I last posted. Have to figure out my days since getting a new phone and reinstalled app. Lots of new faces. Kudos all around! Work is about to calm down so I plan on spending more time on here keeping myself accountable.
Stay strong, Stay Sober!!
Day 73 has begun.
Insomnia, again, but that’s not entirely related to my addiction.
I’m having my first cup of coffee&reading Aeschylus’s “Prometheus Bound” (yep, strange choice for the morning, but now I’ve started it… ) and looking forward for a new day.
I wish you all a great Wednesday.
Checking in day 2. First overnight shift out of 4. Plan to do some sobriety related reading during any downtime. A walk will happen later as well. Sending positive vibes
Day 64. This is the longest I have ever been sober since college. I am in good shape. I go to the gym every day. Work is picking up. Got a new client this morning. A small job but every dollar counts. Life is good.

Excellent work mate. Your still the closest thing I’ve got to a sober twin. No matter what @Englishd says!
- Coffee. Slept in a bit. Last work day, a late shift, before my holiday is coming up. Yay! Last night electricity was restored to my apartment ending 5 days of frustration and angry exchanges with a contractor, neighbour and housing corporation. Funny thing is I didn’t feel triggered once during those five days, but as soon as everything was in working order again, I felt like having a drink to celebrate. Interesting little trigger. I didn’t go for it. This time. But a good reminder how devious addiction is and works. Have to be on guard. Never again. Love the sober and clean me. Have a great day all! Clean and sober that is. Love from Amsterdam.
Brilliant , I love it , and thankyou mate that means alot
