Checking in sober, Day 145. Not much going on, doing Zoom AA each day, getting exercise each day biking 20-30 miles, writing my Step 4 inventory, working on centering myself and improving my mental health. Not much, but it sure is a lot of work! My 5 month sobriety date is coming up, longest Iāve gone without drinking!!! Stay strong, peeps!

Day 103
My father inlaw passed away on Friday night. We knew it was coming but still doesnt make it any easier. He is in a better place.
This is the first time Iāve worked through emotions like this while sober. Its rewarding to know I can do it. Being there for my wife throughout this has been a blessing. She is incredibly strong.
I hope everyone has an amazing day. Keep up the good fight!

Itās a bit too complicated to explain the nurseās curriculum right here right now Paul. There are standards and goals to reach and he has not yet done that. There might still be a way out. Will talk to him, his school and a manager Tuesday.

Day 14.12 => 166 days to 6 months sober
Up very early to get to the grocery store at 7 AM. Much less crowded than in the afternoon. Now I have to prep some spare ribs for smoking later (they were on special). I am going to do a short bike ride this morning as a light recovery after yesterday. It is already getting hot, so I need to get the show on the road. After riding I need to get the grill going since I am grilling salmon, ribs, and chicken today. I already have my greens and fruit cut for the week. Also, need to mow the lawn, trim, and sweep everything off from the rainstorm debris. Busy day being outdoors ahead (I like it that way).
Everyone have a great and Sober rest of your weekend!!!

Sounds like a really nice day. We usually make our ribs in the crockpot with liquid smoke and sweet Baby Rays. Canāt even remember last time I had smoked salmon even if Salmon is a staple here.

@Fargesia_murielae I always admire your analysis and how well you work on recovery , I see this from your posts.
Answering your question to me, I think I keep maintaining some blind spots. One of them is what I call self sabotage. Some of my relapses happen when I am happy, committed and working the recovery. Butā¦dang!!! I enter in unrealistic mode and I choose not think. It is true the powerlessness but it is true that in that moment I donāt choose to surrender
Day 2 sober. Grateful for another day

Checking in on
334 days no alcohol
390 days no smoking
3 hours no sugary, fatty, salty junk food.
I feel physically sick right now (so bad) from what Iāve eaten tonight. Regret is an understatement. Just had to make myself be sick. Tomorrow starts the new discipline and self-care practice in which I will use any and all the tools Iāve learnt thus far on this journey, from addiction to recovery. I will apply them to this awful food addiction I seem to now have (I guess I just replaced drinking & smoking with sugar). I canāt do this to my body any longer. I am going to get better at getting better. my goal ~ harmony of my mind, body & soul

Food is the hardest addiction to overcome but it gets easier over time!
