Day 289. Watching more documentaries today, mostly older bodybuilding stuff (Pumping Iron, Pumping Iron 2, The Battle For Gold, etc.) Actually working in the office tomorrow, as our power is getting cut for an undetermined amount of time while a tree gets cut down. Hooray for being in a huge office alone all day.
Rad shirt from a local company showed up todayâŚfurthering my need to purge some older, less worn stuff.
Have a strong day!!!

Back on Day 1. I am feeling very sad, hopeless, tired. In reality, my relapse was never really over. It still may not be. My mind isnât straight. I clocked two days, but my brain was not engaged. I didnât do anything, other than check in here, to keep myself sober.
Being in and out of grocery ever.single.day. is really weighing on me. Just so tired. The mask gives me a headache. I am grateful to be employed.

I was like this for about 3 weeks, it will come bc deep down you know you want it or you wouldnât be here. Iâm watching so many of us struggle in these strange times and I I thought I was weaker than everyone else bc I broke weeks ago but now look. You canât force these things so be patient, you may get worse before you get better but trust in me, trust in your higher power or god as you understand him, mine just gave me a break but never never truly left, weâre not all so different on here and thatâs why I have faith in you, thatâs how I know youâll be back when the time is right. 
. Destiny is all!!!

Thank you all for the birthday wishes!
Maybe a late questionâŚ
how do you guys set your sober date on the app? Is the last day you drank or used your day 0? I have mine set on 08/01 at midnight. Set technically the app counts 08/01 as day 0 and 09/01 as day 1.
If I change my clean date to 09/01, my first sober day the counter says 119 days.
I suck at math sometimes lol. Maybe the clean time should be differend?
Itâs a little confiusing for me at times.

Im on the opposite end of the spectrum myself⌠sheâs capitalizing on this pandemic with zero credibility. I think Dr. Fauci is an outstanding man. Just my opinion.

Difference in opinion and open dialogue can be very healthy amongst a couple of mature recovering alcoholics like us

Really good day today. Woke up early full of energy. Rented a bike n rode to the next city n beautiful Liberty State Park. Only 2nd time on a bike in about 15 years. A little nervous at first, riding through the city streets but got used to it n was out for 6 hours. Great to be out fresh air , feeling alive. Did kick my ass riding home. I was done, but made it back. Now I need to shop for a bike. Besides gyms not opening any time soon, no laps in the pool n Iâm enjoying biking. Focusing on the positive.

Day 163. Iâm horrified by the state of the world, and the US especially. I feel so lucky to have so much privilege, including a stable job, and Iâm not diabetic or over 60 or working as a meat packer. I find mostly, my sense of outrage and grief doesnât make me want to drink. I want to be present and pay attention. I spent a lot of time outside playing ball with my kids today, and we all had a great time.

Day 139
rant about minor things alert
I hate doing loads of computer work. My neck aches and I just canât âseeâ things on a screen the way I can on paper (I cannot use Kindles for the same reason). Grading some papers that would take half an hour with a pen takes twice as long typing notes in a document.
I am grateful for being sober, and Covid-free, and employed. Just quite grumpy.

Day 550. Been feeling really lonely today, wishing I had friends I could physically go spend time with, if there were no pandemic. Or even a coworker I at least get along with sometimes. Nope. Itâs been over a year of this and trying to form connections and Iâm tired of just bearing this feeling.

41 days today! Aunt Flow is here. I cant believe how much she f***s with my head! I also cant believe for 17 years I never noticed I had such severe PMS because my whole life was one big PMS from all the drugs and alcohol!! 
seriously my last 2 relapses were around this time of the month cuz I cant deal with myself. Im a raging bitch and I hate everything, I am too tired to do anything and I just want to eat cookie dough for dinner. For like 5 days straight. Hormones are no joke. Cant wait to feel like myself again⌠haha you guys are officially my best friends I can share anything with âŚ
