I suppose it’s time for You to search for new friends, the ones who aren’t using or the ones who just won’t influence You to using, respecting Your healthy boundaries.

How does that sound?

  1. Spent a long time in bed but didn’t sleep good, woke up a lot. Can’t shake an image of animal cruelty I saw watching a documentary last night. It showed lots of human suffering too but this one was so horrible I keep seeing it. I want to lose it but I don’t know how. Doing stuff I suppose. Cook something good maybe and share it with the one friend I still have physical contact with. I’ll give her a call in a bit.
    I’m not great right now. 297 days ago this would be a day to go to the liquor store and buy 3 bottles of wine and a bottle of whiskey and start drinking now at 10am. Today I won’t. I’ll stay clean and sober. Please stay sober and clean too. Have a good day all. Love from Amsterdam.

I know that feeling Menno; that actually happened to me the other day also, something I inadvertently saw on Facebook.
I’m sending you a hug; you’re a sweet guy and you’re doing so well… ((((:kissing_heart:))))

I do have an issue with the design, 14 inches of black hard pole but I’m sure you know what you are doing :joy:

I’m pretty sure that’s rope. You certainly wouldn’t want to sit in it! :slightly_smiling_face:

Day 513 and checking in, what a crazy time …so many feelings and emotions spinning round my head , I have a mum who is 67 with underlying medical conditions who I cant see because of this lockdown ( luckily enough my brother is staying with her ) , I’m adjusting to to being at home 24/7 with the wife and kids and the realisation of being unemployed is starting to sink in , such a lot to process and at the same time focusing really hard on not allowing this to trigger old behaviours…I hope all of you are doing ok and I am thinking of every single one of you …take care , stay safe and remember one day at a time :heart:

Did you lost your job because it’s this virus m8? If so can you get it back when it’s finally over? I’m thinking of you and yours aswell. :+1::heart::slightly_smiling_face:

Day 70 along with sober twin @GVLNative

Slept in my campervan (on my drive!) for change of scenery… read and listened to music.

Hoping you all doing well and staying strong. I am so grateful i found this app being sober at this time has been a godsend.

It is so difficult to unsee that kind of thing! But maybe don’t try to unsee it? It is sad and horrible. But there is so much kindness to animals. The love you have for Luna, all the love on the pets thread here, the volunteers and rescue centres and conservationists doing their best to make things better. I am thinking about an animal rescue charity to support with a regular donation. It doesn’t undo the cruelty but it is doing something :paw_prints:

I love that quote:”God loves a trier “ Day 4 sober. A cloudy day affects my mood, I did some calls and I am struggling with down feelings. I guess is some sort of common thing for many of us

Happy Day 70!!!
I love the camper van. I’ve been saying for years that I want to purchase a camper van when I retire. I will pack my bike and hit the road to find the best cycling the US has to offer. There are folks in California that live in vans and constantly travel up and down the coast. The van is their home. So cool!!! Cute dog!!

Day 70.3
Feeling tired from the pollen explosion. It unseasonably hit 80 degrees the past few days and everything popped at one time. Pollen is in full force and my eyes are bloodshot red. Worse than any hangover I ever had. People see me and think I have CV15 :grinning:.

Back to work from home today. Trying to dress like I go into the office to not descend into the loungy clothes thing. I feel it is bad for my psyche. Hopefully everyone is settling into a CV15 routine. One Starbucks is still open so I go by to get coffee first thing in the morning (fits my regular routine).

If you don’t hear from me as much, I am spending a lot of time in the D&D thread.

Have a great and sober day everyone!!!
