I know the spot. found it once on my quests for the stillness in the city . I wont tell ok? good you resisted but your sobriety seems quite stable. I worry also a bit about the coming days people want to spent outside. It seems people are getting more restless and careless already. yesterday at my town on the beach there were already groups of bikers… no good. just bike alon. Nice spiritual practice. 
Stay save

another sober day ahead. It is hard collecting my thoughts and I think therefor important to share. I am so out of control with my pain condition and health. I do not feel when I cross the line of doing to much, only afterwards my body responds. This night it was with night terrors and pain. I could only breath and do body scans. It makes me only able to deal with it minute by minute and try support my health in the way I think is best and hope for the best. Yesterday in the morning I took a walk in the dunes and beach and met my former yoga teacher there walking his dog. What a surprise! immediately you feel this anchor to the feelings connected to that part of my life and world. And I think that is all there is and to get back to. that feeling of love, grace and vulnerability that is always there. get back to the practice and try and stay open, if only for a minute. as a counter wait for the pain and uncertainty I face in my life at all levels at the moment and the struggle with health care systems etc. So i got back yesterday and played my harmonium a bit chanting. maybe for today my only goal is also to take a minute of only to connect to this. Ohm Namah Shivaya

Hi all!
I’m almost a week sober. One of the biggest steps I’ve taken so far is coming clean to my family, friends and girlfriend. Where do I go from here and where can I find more help? Appreciate you all and proud of everyone

Hi @Dannyvcampos and welcome. I do not know where you live and if alcohol is your doc too like mine. But if you need extra help you could try AA or online meetings. If you type in for example “online meetings” above in the search bar you will find loads of info. What helps me is to come here every day to check in sober. It keeps me focussed.

Day 571 
Going for a long walk with my hubby today. Catch some sun and fresh air during the day instead of walking in the evening. But look! Here is a photo I made yesterday. I saw the first baby ducks! So tiny and sweet! And that in combination with the most beatiful sunset.
A great reminder of living by the moment en enjoying the now.
Have a good friday! 🙋

- A bit frustrated as it’s my weekend and I’d love to go cycling but my road racer has a dented wheel and my new hybrid still needs assembling and my bike shop doesn’t have the time to fix either. Well, will have to take my single speed city wreck for a little spin I suppose. Easter weekend will very probable be way to busy to venture out for my taste. The whole country seems to have taken up hiking, running, cycling and biking in the last couple of weeks.
Crazy times but nothing a drink, a snort, a smoke or a pill would or could fix. I’ll stay sober and clean and implore you all to do the same. Thinking about 3 years ago today when I was in Happy Valley OR. One of the most Zen places I ever was. Have a good day all. Love from Amsterdam and Happy Valley.

2.62 days. Can’t wait to feel physically normal and strong again. I’m not sure why there is all this underlying uncertainty about drinking still. The thought makes me sick, but yet I feel like I’m going to be missing out on so much, mainly anything that involves being social. Friends and love. I guess when I move and unpack some books, I’ll get working on Allen Carr, oh wait, I think I can put him on kindle actually. I’ll do that now. It really helps me put it in perspective.
