Day 247. Being at home has given me the chance to listen to my records, and I’m getting through 7-9 each day, so, that’s been fun. Been doing some form of exercise every hour to stay focused.
My band did a Google Hangout last night. Seems we’re all hurting to play, and dealing with all of this as well as expected.
Starting the day with coffee, apples, almond butter, and some Type O Negative.
Have a strong day!!!

Day 78.
I ended last night with a movie. I had cravings all night. A friend of mine told me he was proud of me. You made it to 77 days! It mustn’t be easy to stay sober during these self quarantined corona days…
He said.
I didn’t feel proud. All I was thinking of was a drink.
Today is thursday. The last day living as a caveman with no internet haha. Thank god for 4G lol.
My sobriety feels like a drag lately. Like, no matter how many days I got I don’t feel proud or happy about it. I feel nutral. That scares me. I do really care about staying sober! Does anyone else have these feelings?
Have a good one!

You, my girl, are my fucking hero! I was just watching a story about people answering the call to health care workers and it made my heart happy. Retired military and civilian workers are signing up like crazy, as well as young people who haven’t graduated yet. I will keep you in my thoughts and Meggy prayers!
@SoberWalker, that sign makes me smile more than I can express! You are another hero of mine!
Day 1 thousand something and I’m going to go into work (restaurant management) and clean and reorganizing like nobodies business. I need to feel like I accomplished something today. I won’t possibly get everything done. I need to accept this and reset my expectations to something more realistic. I will also let all my employees know that I am there if they want to pick up any eggs or cheese. I’m not throwing anything away until I absolutely have to! Not while people can use it!

I’m proud of you. You do care about staying sober. You want to stay sober. And you stay sober despite cravings and without feeling particularity happy about it. That is reason enough to be proud of yourself friend!
And something else; life goes on whether we drink or not. We choose not to drink because we recognise that drinking helps us with nothing. Even if we crave we do not drink. One day at a time. And that, my friend is reason to be proud of ourselves. Goed bezig vriend! Ga door.

Day 197
Working from home today. And I’m not a huge fan of it. But I’m thankful for the opportunity to do it. I’m trying to stick to a routine but it’s hard when all I feel like doing is sleeping to escape the anxiety and depression I’m battling. I’m trying to focus on being grateful and meditating on positive things. I just feel bleh. I’m also guarding what I watch, read and listen to each day because most of what’s out there just increases my anxiety level and I don’t even know who’s telling the truth anymore. Grateful to be sober. I know I’ll get through this. One day at a time.

Good morning day 52, @Hopeful777 thank you she is all back to normal just a lil bump on the chin. So I’m feeling pretty good, last night was the second time I had another dream about drinking, all I remember was saying to myself that I didn’t need to reset my sober time days bc you all wouldn’t know in my dream. And it was just really weird, I woke up feeling so disappointed in myself and hungover feeling like a mother fucker. My mouth was so dry. Thank God it was just a dream I hate them tho. Yesterday I had a weird feeling that was like am I actually doing better, my mind is trying to play tricks on me and I’m glad my concious is catching it. But yeah, I just kind of felt like am I actually going to be a better person if I quit drinking, or am I still gonna be a piece of shit just like when I was drinking. And I think I felt like this bc my girls were getting on my nerves and I yelled at them and still just have a hard time sometimes when they won’t listen and continue to do bad things after I say no. I’m just gonna start doing my work out and get myself back to the present bc I am obviously so much better sober. And I still don’t want to drink, I know how to get myself back into the present and away from those feelings. But I do have to acknowledge them. Have a good sober Thursday all

Day 66.4
Another day of working from home.
I am starting to get a routine down, so a little less stressful than before.
I’ve been listening to two really good radio stations online for years.
I highly recommend them if you have to be home online working all day:
- Sata Fe, NM
https://santafe.com/radio/kbac/stream - Dallas, TX

Still here. Still sober.
Life is a mess, but whose isnt right now? Might lose my business if we cant open by May. So preparing my mind for that.
Doing a lot LOT of gardening. It’s my time to meditate and talk with my HP.
Oddly enough this whole virus saga gives me zero desire to drink. I just want to do whatever I can to stay healthy.
I need to get back to my daily readings tho. I used to read Keep it simple, each day a new beginning and 24 hours every morning but haven’t done that in a week. Feels like even though I am stuck at home there are million things that need to get done before breakfast. I need to make time for myself with that again.
Hope everyone here is well. Stay safe…stay sober. One day at a time.

Im sorry for spamming you guys today. My third post already - but checking things of my todo list that i posted in my first check in. So far:
e-mailed the boss
disconnected from Facebook
just wrote the message to my best girlfriend
just called my mum (should have spoken to my dad also, but cant handle that right now) though i postponed it for quiet some hours since it scared the sh#t out of me.
Regarding the “calling my mum thing”:
I might have to explain a little, why it scares the sh#t out of me: when i binge drank three days ago i choose to take a taxi down to my brother, which scared the sh#t out of him since he never seen me like this before, he couldnt recognize his own sister and called my parents (who is sailing around the world, current stay Puerto Rico) and told them all about it. Which made them angry since i promised it would never happen again and because they get worried and helpless because they cant do anything about it.
So it scared me to give them a call because i knew i would get the “why do you keep doing this shit-speech” and thats what my mum gave me and actually i dont have any explanation to why it happend. None addicts doesnt seem to understand these things.
Right now im soo sad after this call and eventhough i want to get it out of the world with the call to my dad i cant im to affraid and my addict-voice has already spoken to me. Just drink to beers and then you have the courage to do it. But NO

Feeling the same. Sorry to hear of your business; you’re in my thoughts. Glad you’ve been doing some gardening! I’m looking forward to warmer weather and spring to start so I can get my hands in the dirt. It’s therapeutic! Too cold here yet but soon I hope
