another sober day. coffe and getting ready for a morning walk in nature with my cousin, lots of space for distancing in the morning. maybe the beach to have a dip in the sea for the nerve pain. Yesterday my pain levels were so freaking high. throughout my whole body, constantly. like I was on fire, rolling around in nettles and people pocking me with stick constantly. the whole day long. and then I know there is only one way to releive me for a bit. I could lay on the cough, stay with it and not act on it. finally I had some sleep, good sleep with bizar dreams, and the pain is little less. I did not drink or sugar binge. first step. but I need to work on this. my life is going to be like this. yesterday I made 1 phonecall with an old friend and worked my garden an bit. and that was obviously to much… this concept is to hard to grasp. all the future anxieties. when is my money gone and do I need to sell my house, and then, that is also stress which i need to avoid… where do I go then without people to help me… and then breathing, taking it down… sorry for the long post. But it just came out and is maybe the first step in accepting my life will be 100% different than it was and I hoped it would be. Nerve pain is a relentles spiritual teacher. but. sun is out in holland, all is clear and bright and I go for a walk without forward thing of the price I need to pay. Love and have a good day!

- We had the warmest April 8 on record yesterday. I spent some time after work with my best friend, the only person I physically meet atm.Damned it was busy in town, even without tourists, especially in the parks. Got me very worried about the near future. And everybody was drinking. No joke. Of course the bars are closed so the drinkers have to drink somewhere but it was still shocking to behold with my sober eyes.
My friend also brought a couple of beers and once again said she’s sorry I can’t join her for a couple. She’s so smart and empathic and loving but she doesn’t know shit about addiction. I was tempted for a second. Never again is never again though. I also noticed some of the heavier drinkers with their bloated red faces in the full sun. Thank you very much.
We did find this place on the edge of the harbour but still close to the centre where it’s quiet and the views are very nice and spent time there. Want to keep it private so not sharing the location. Place made me think of @Fargesia_murielae. He might know where we were
Have a good day all. Clean and sober. Love from Amsterdam.

Day 0.
I wanted “a beer or 2” last night. And a couple beers turned into I don’t know how many. Woke up feeling like shit, both the hangover and the guilt.

Yay… Congrats @Fargesia_murielae, 8 months sober is a great feat. You’ve got this sobriety my TS friend. Keep on posting and sharing, your eloquence is admirable and motivation appreciated.
Thank you ladies, @Jane.c, @crystalclear, @CapriciousCapricorn, @Hopeful777 and @Lisa07, I can’t believe I’ve managed to stay sober for 9 months. I don’t know where I’d be without you guys’ inspirational. I’m learning so much here. 
Blessings and sobriety y’all!
