Day 5 nearly in the books, it has been a blessing that my new found sobriety has coincided with this social distancing. I am fortunate enough to work from home, and am able to help my kids with their school work. I had a few real nice conversations with the kids today, and made a nice batch of homemade pita bread. Feeling great.

Day 36 AF I have so many feelings about my journey this far. It’s been hard and it’s been so freeing. Remembering who I was before my addiction gives me so much hope for the future. Today’s been a good day.

I hope u doing well, depression for me feels like a personal struggle that no one understand…
No one can solve it, its something deep within…
A silent scream…that wants to get out…
Anxiety , fear , shame , guilt, anger!
I never talked or mentioned it to anyone, cause they cant fixed it right?
But soon as i learned to talk, i came to understand im not the only one who suffer…
And just from that awareness its a bit of a relief…
ACT - therapy , might be helpful.
I hope u have a good day…

Yeah, talking about it certainly helps. And I’m actually doing ACT with my therapist already, since a couple of months ago. Thanks for the thoughtful words

Day 46… grateful that I am not hungover,.I had some thoughts last night of picking up…it’s all the supermarket shelves that are empty of booze and everybody saying that they won’t be able to handle being indoors with partners/kids etc…I’m not missing out on the indoor party…I have done enough lonely indoor parties:+1:

Day 551 
And then the manager of my store is sick 
Now I run the store. That’s not a problem, but I take her shifts now and also I’m helping in another store with sick people.
Busy times. I try not to complain, there are people who are losing their jobs these days.
But I would like to be home more with my family.
Be safe TS people

67 days today. At the moment I am working from home with 3 kids, wife and wound up dog. Divorce rates are going to soar after this virus plays out.
Have had a couple of near-misses with alcohol. I picked up beer in the supermarket, but then walked past the non-alcoholic section and something clicked and I put it down.
Feel ‘cured’, but know I’m not. Alcohol dependency is not like a virus, you don’t get cured from it. It is a condition, that at very best you can learn how to manage.

You’re most welcome to them my friend, I’m certain on day at a time and you’ll also don them. I was once also at day 4 and it felt like an impossible journey but look at me now, I even walk with a swagger. 
Blessings and sobriety Paul, blessings and sobriety!

Check in on day 100! Finally made it to triple digits lol, and it feels pretty good! I’m still doing social distancing and I’m lowkey pretty sick of it, but know that it’s good for everyone if I keep it up. Anyway, I’m seriously hapy about making it here, and hopeful for the future. Onto 101!

Yay…! Congrats on reaching triple digits, keep on stacking them days ODAAT. 
Blessings and sobriety!
- Call me old fashioned but for me today spring starts. Very sunny today, a cold eastern wind blowing though. More like the winter weather we didn’t have all winter. Anyhow, since we’re still allowed I’m gearing up for a little bike ride in the sun. I hardly ever drive in groups so social distancing is natural for me in this respect.
It’s funny how i feel I made a big step forward in my sobriety in the last days. Having some rather strong cravings due to the situation in the world, thinking about them, listening to some podcasts, reading some stuff, coming here, overcoming those craves and now feeling stronger being clean and sober. And remaining so. We’re doing this! Together. Have a good weekend all. Sober and clean. The world keeps turning. Love form Amsterdam. @Nvbookthief Yay you! Huge congrats on reaching triple digits friend. Way to go.
PS. The zoo is closed but from the outside you can get some good looks. The sounds coming from within are also nice. These are some of the bird cages.
