Checking in Daily to maintain focus #13

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? :slight_smile: It is sunny and 80F, and weā€™re starting to get into our ā€œrain offā€ season which lasts into October. It is a cycling mecca.

I have an amends to make to my older sister this week and I thank God for the program of Alcoholics Anonymous because itā€™s showing me how to be accountable for the things Iā€™ve done wrong in my past to those Iā€™ve harmed. Iā€™m 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 donā€™t want to die and I donā€™t want to be loaded. I canā€™t stay sober on my own, 30 years of drinking and using drugs proves that. I need help and I can admit that. I donā€™t have to be something Iā€™m 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. Iā€™m 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 Iā€™m just just a small part of it and itā€™s better that way cause I donā€™t 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.

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.

Billy, check in as many times as you need to keep from picking up.
Congratulations on 17 days!!!

Day 6
Another sunny and pretty warm day in Sweden (warm by Swedish measurements is around 15-18 C)

Friday Iā€™m preparing for a cookout with my sister and her husband this weekend. Weā€™re usually heavy drinkers all of us, but Iā€™m the only one who really has a problem.

Today weā€™re 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 everyoneā€™s usually busy that day.
Since itā€™s a small village, the local pizza place also works as the local pub (yes thereā€™s only one) Itā€™ll be a hard one, but I hope Iā€™ve got this. My sister has promised to stay sober with me and Iā€™m really glad for the support.

I hope each one of you will have a wonderful Friday and weekend. :cherry_blossom:

Thank you dear. I hope I do, I donā€™t want to say it for sure not just yet. Not until I know I do. Iā€™ll keep you all updated. The good thing is that at least I donā€™t got the urge to drink today,because my focus is on staying sober.

Howā€™s everything with you today?

Thank you. Iā€™ll definitely keep yā€™all updated about this weekend.

You can do it, procrastination isnā€™t always a bad thing. Sometimes you just need to relax and not do a thing.
