Congrats on triple digits! Your son and my grandson share a birthday (or close depending on your time zone). Hell of a great reason to be sober for both of us.
Why Seattle, does it look like this? It is sunny and 80F, and weāre starting to get into our ārain offā season which lasts into October. It is a cycling mecca.
2nd check in day 17 first day Since I relapsed that Iāve thought of drinking/rough week at work but NO EXCUSES it will not help the situation.Just needed to share
I have an amends to make to my older sister this week and I thank God for the program of Alcoholics Anonymous because itās showing me how to be accountable for the things Iāve done wrong in my past to those Iāve harmed. Iām on step 11 but I see we have to live the steps and work those spiritual principles everyday. So I can do the program, or, go back to my insanity and die. Today I donāt want to die and I donāt want to be loaded. I canāt stay sober on my own, 30 years of drinking and using drugs proves that. I need help and I can admit that. I donāt have to be something Iām not, I can be that guy who can be wrong. Pride will get me killed and that pride came from fear most of the time anyways. Iām just a person battling with his own mind, trying to live my life today doing the right thing so that I can live my way into a new way of thinking. I have a sponsor and a home group in A.A. Thank you to all of you who are always posting and helping others. I was once so selfish I thought I was the center of the universe, that the world revolved around me but Iām just just a small part of it and itās better that way cause I donāt know how to direct or control anything, I had to let that thought go completely. God is either everything or He is nothing, to me He has to be everything. Hope and pray you all have a beautiful sober and clean day.
It doesnt appear in my savings account though
In the start screen before you go to the forum you can tap stats, there you can fill in which date you quited and how much you spended daily
Day 571. Better day today, hanging in there. I want a good long break from everything, and soon!
@Rad
You are 1 day from double digits!!!
Great job resistingā¦it does get easier the longer you go.
@CharlotteGal
We actually get as much rain as Seattle, but it tends to come in heavier rains.
I visited Seattle in May and it was gorgeous. Also made my way up to Vancouver (loved it too).
At that time you only needed a drivers license to cross the border. The worst thing going on was smuggling of cartons of cigarettes from the US to Canada since packs cost ~$15-$20 in Canada.
@Thumper1213
Billy, check in as many times as you need to keep from picking up.

Day 6
Another sunny and pretty warm day in Sweden (warm by Swedish measurements is around 15-18 C)
Friday Iām preparing for a cookout with my sister and her husband this weekend. Weāre usually heavy drinkers all of us, but Iām the only one who really has a problem.
Today weāre going to our local Pizza Place to celebrate our 10 y/o birthday a little early. The real one is in two weeks in the kids graduation day, so naturally everyoneās usually busy that day.
Since itās a small village, the local pizza place also works as the local pub (yes thereās only one) Itāll be a hard one, but I hope Iāve got this. My sister has promised to stay sober with me and Iām really glad for the support.
I hope each one of you will have a wonderful Friday and weekend.
Thank you dear. I hope I do, I donāt want to say it for sure not just yet. Not until I know I do. Iāll keep you all updated. The good thing is that at least I donāt got the urge to drink today,because my focus is on staying sober.
Howās everything with you today?
Thank you. Iāll definitely keep yāall updated about this weekend.
You can do it, procrastination isnāt always a bad thing. Sometimes you just need to relax and not do a thing.
