Day 108.32
Feel like I am in a donut hole on days. 108, sucks and 109 will suck worse.
A mental thing for me. Who am I to complain, I am on my way to 120.
Been very busy at work moving many things forward at the same time.
Working harder than I need to, but I think it is compensating for the uneasiness around continued employment during COVID.
Otherwise, I am well and relaxed right now. I am in some sort of Zen where I smile a lot. Not sure where that is coming from, since contentedness & happiness are new feelings me. My “salesman” is working hard to figure out how to fuck it up, but I am fighting back with all of my tools. The “salesman” is very muted right now, so I find it easy to push the thoughts down.
Okay, re-reading this I may not be as Zen as I think I am?
Confused… 
Everyone hang in there and keep fighting!!!

I for one just love seeing you post again. I know we float in and out, but you always make me smile. And the journal? I consider this a spectator journal 
I also put a lot of pressure on milestones. These last few times I have avoided checking in on milestone days. One year is a big deal, and I agree when it passes, sigh of relief. Do give yourself recognition and remember that last day and how wonderful that you never have to feel that way again.

I stole mindful eating from @Lionfish! It has been so helpful and I’ve definitely changed the way I eat.
Thank you. I’m glad I chose me and not booze!

Give yourself a break @Bomdhil. It sounds to me like you think you can control this. What’s step 1? We came to believe we were powerless. Any illusions that I have that I have that I can manage my addiction are dangerous. I can’t stop once I’ve started and once I’ve stopped I can’t stay stopped because I’m an addict. It’s not a moral failure because I don’t have control over it.

Day 194… Been getting uneasy about the protests of the covid restrictions in place and the “plandemic” conspiracy theory. If people can’t be responsible this is going to get much worse.
On another note I got tools needed to do wheel bearings and brakes on my car that i don’t currently need lol… have a great day friends!

Day 121 - today makes 4 months (Jan 8-May 7)! 
With meetings on zoom I won’t get a coin today, so I’m now carrying the one I got last time. Just over 4 months was the longest I’ve gone sober, so my goal right now is to earn that 5 month coin!!! Here I go on that next stage of my journey, one day at a time!
