Checking in day 82. Its been a good morning lots of calls and messages this morning. Still said my prayers and read my morning readings . Showered and of course Coffee and breakfast. Checked in with the treatment program this morning that I’m waiting to attend and they told me to call back tuesday to see about attending soon. So a bit of good news. Have a phone one on one with my addiction and mental health consellor in fourty minutes. A facebook video call in four hours to celebrate Mom turning sixty eight today. Squeeze a walk in between hopefully. Wish I could do all these things in person(control issues) My home NA group started a regularly scheduled zoom meeting last night nice to hear voices and see faces. Hope everyone’s having a great day and now I around a hundred of your check-ins to read☺

Day 261. Worked ahead due to the holiday tomorrow, and now I’m done. Bored out of my skull, as I have to stay near my phone and answer emails until 4:30 (if any come in).

So bored, I used a filter on my camera, and that never happens.


Have a strong day!!!

Evil chorizo! I love that stuff and to be so betrayed by something so wonderful is just plain awful. I hope you feel better really soon :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Congrats on day 10 @Cam, @Ken37 congrats on 30, @PaulH it’s ok man don’t be to hard on yourself, whats important is you realize and see what it does to you and you’re back ready to try again. Day 66 it’s crappy and raining today so not do much, hanging with my girls. And I must admit, sometimes I just seriously feel like a crappy father, I don’t know how to do and handle things with my girls sometimes. I’m not good at figuring out crafts, and when it’s nice we don’t really go anywhere either, it’s hard taking them for walks, bc they want to run, but Addie runs like she just drank a 12 pack and I always just imagine the worst and she’s gonna face plant, idk I’m always on edge when we go out. And idk I feel like a crappy dad, I wish I had the ambition with them as I do when I go on these 20 mile bike rides. Have a good Thursday everyone

I get the same way as you, it’s torture. I’m so sorry. Just know with each moment away from the drink you are going to feel better. We never have to feel this way again. I’m pulling for you :hugs:

Hahahahahaha. Maybe a different shade next time…

Day 92. This week’s been hard. Physicly. The company I work for shut down for 2 weeks because of corona. This week we had a ‘soft opening’ as they call it. Getting up at 4.45 am all week is kicking my ass… anyway It’s allost weekend so no big deal!
Since a few days i’m limiting my sugary drinks to 1 can or glass a day. I try to drink more water.
Has anyone ever tried to only drink water or limit your beverage intake to just a few drinks. Maybe just water, tea and or coffee?
Had this any effects on your body and health?
I’m curious because I’m thinking about trying it for a while.

Have a good sober thursday!

Today I hit 14 days! Still happy. My fitness has taken a dive. Its hard working out with a 2 year old. When I try to do yoga she climbs all over me. When I run she tries to jump out of the stroller. Today we are taking the gold nugget bucket and metal detector to try and find some gold. Didnt get lucky last time but its nice to be outside and a girl can dream. Haha Have a great day everyone!

Ah I that phase is a tricky one :joy: but I like how you’re mixing things up :slight_smile: I had a back pack that was like a seat for whenever I ran with the girls when they were about that age, id start running then panic that my foot hitting the floor was to hard and that it would hurt their brain so then I’d take them out and they would be like a magpie distracted by anything shiny or leaves or trees lol I have to say my almost 4 year old just likes to drop her scooter and run off constantly we all went for our hour exercythe other day and Lola walked through a bog and then decided to strip on the spot we were in a very public park I had to scoop her up fireman style with the dog on the lead her scooter a back pack with 2 litres of water whilst she laughed and then cried becuse she was wet I so feel your pain lol x

I only drink water now, usually just filtered tap water, sometimes sparkling. I also have 1 or 2 cups a coffee in the AM, mostly decaf. It is recommended to drink water thru out the day to stay hydrated. I gave up soda many years ago. Let go of any sugary mocktail type drinks etc 2 years ago.

I feel much better without any sugary drinks
…MUCH better!!

Late day check in for day 80

Woke up still down and fed up. As day went on realised my mood had lifted… Jesus these mood swings are mad. But putting it down to the strange mode of life we and this world is in at the moment. Simple.
Now for sleep meditation.

Catch you all Friday be strong, safe and healthy :100:

Good evening lovely people. I haven’t checked in here in ages. And haven’t really read on TS lately. I hope you guys are all good and keeping sane in these hard times. @C_8 congratulations on 170 and 12 days. This is amazing :tada::confetti_ball:
I am checking in on day 190. Longest time ever. But I still live one day at a time which is definitely the safest. All my good friends from TS who have become family are keeping me safe and sane every single day. There are thoughts of drinking coming up occasionally especially now in these difficult times… But they come and the go again.
I wish everyone a good evening. Good night fellow TS friends :heart_eyes:

Under some crud of worry, over-stretching and frustration there is a nugget of gratitude that my family and I are healthy, and I am sober, but really taking some effort to burrow down to it!
