- What a mess in the world. I won’t let it screw up my sobriety. Nothing can do that but my own warped mind. And today I choose to remain sober and clean. Because life is better lived this way. Took me 40 years to realize but very glad I finally did. As a reminder there’s beauty in the world too a picture of the road on my Texas friend’s property. Can’t go there right now. But will be back. Have a good day all. Clean and sober. Love form Amsterdam and the Hill Country.
@MrsOdh That’s really nice of your sister Sophia. We got you too!

Thank you 
and yes the world is a bit of a mess right now, but it’s getting better.
We had plans going to friends and family in Memphis this year (as we so every year, couldn’t go last year because we had a death in the family) but this year we can’t because of the virus. Sweden has been told to still stay about an hour from our hoses and that the borders will ne closed until the end of summer.
Your picture is absolutely stunning, and once again it will be better. The best we can do is to keep going forward and never loose hope.

Thank you, I hope they can help you this time. I’ll send all the positive thoughts and prayers your way. It’s always good to have something to look forward to even if it’s “only” some Bbq meat and potato salad.

For sure, I’m happy and everything today. Just got some stuff going on at home. And just finding myself not having my best advice for ppl lately. This nice weather is seriously throwing me off so bad, I’ve never tried being sober in the summer before. This is my first attempt, it’s alright gonna knock out a crazy bike ride this weekend and stay as busy as possible. Thinking I might start reading my big book that I picked up from my last a.a meeting

Day 16
Some work and husband stress, but no desire to pick up. Beautiful days of clear skies, 28 C temperatures. Would love to take a little trip somewhere, but husband worried about corona, and he may be right.

Checking in. I’m trying to keep in the forefront of my mind the values I want to live by. Like, to be kind, honest, present, hardworking, truthful, loyal, responsible. I try to remind myself every day that drinking, even if it’s not blackout drinking, isn’t really compatible with those values, at least for me. When I drink, I’m trying to put a wall up between me and my family or my feelings, and I’m putting the short term desire for a quick buzz above what I truly want, even medium term, for myself and my relationships.

Woke up this morning convinced that I was doing good. Worried a little about going to the pizza place with a bar later, didn’t have a thought about the nice weather drinking urge.
Was in the liquor store with hubby because he needed a few things, and I actually held in a bottle of a new champagne I haven’t tried yet. Eventually I put it back.
Ended up with buying two non alcoholic beers instead, just in case I’ve get a bad craving when they’re having some beers in the sun later.
On the way home I had a long diskussion with my husband about my drinking habits and the decision to really try and stay sober this time. And he promised to help me, even if he’ll still going to drink occasionally.
Went home and tried a new sugarfree energy drink instead.

Thank you, I haven’t really been that open before and maybe that’s the problem. I decided to do it differently this time. And all of you guys have helped me so much with that too.
