checking inā¦ like every day. Every time I seem to break the silence and voice my thoughts I ridicule myself and go back to silence, but I am here.
seeing you and reading you to have a daily focus of grace. Today is the 8 year aniversary of a traumatic accident that in rearview changed my life and body. And actually I forgot about it being the day but my body and dreams reminded me. bizar how it works. So a day for being vigilant about my train of thoughts. Have a good day you all.

Day 2- Good morning all, from a sunny UK. It is great to be awake early and hangover free, listening to the birds. I did have days of clarity, in my previous life, but knowing this is the first one of my new life, is a fantastic feeling. Even the early morning noisiness of my next door neighbour moving his recycling bin, the silly (old enough to know better) man with his ridiculous exhaust that probably costs more than the car, or the pain of my slipped disc, cannot spoil this, two hours too early awakening. Have a good day all. Tx

Itās sad to see how much hate there is in our country towards minorities, mainly African Americans. I wish we could just be caring towards eachother regardless of race, sex, or religion. Life is so fragile.

- Museums, bars and restaurants reopen today under social distancing rules. I got a ticket for the Rijksmuseum this afternoon. I donāt feel like going. But I will. Have been in for the better part of 2 weeks. Need to do stuff. Supposed to be going back to work tomorrow. I donāt feel like going but I will. Spent way too much time at my desk getting depressed from events unfolding in the USA. Called my friend in Guatemala and the situation is totally dramatic there with Covid raging. Which we hear nothing about. I need to do stuff or Iāll go totally nuts. Sober and clean. Using was never a solution. Using is never a solution. Have a good day all. Clean and sober. Love from Amsterdam. Pic is of one of the paintings I want to see today. Mesdag, Fishing boats in the surf, ca. 1880.
@Thumper1213 Keep going Billy. Youāll make it.
@Conor689908 Thinking of you Conor.

Great job on resisting!!! 
I have a problem romanticizing alcohol. This topic came up in my SMART meeting. This video they showed resonated with me. A little generational, but gets the point across.

Checking in at 4.27 days exhausted. The riots going on last night were just crazy. My building caught fire, the tear gas reached all the way up to my floor. You could bet your ass I was praying the firefighters got it out (which they did) because my ass was not evacuating and going out in that shit. People were shooting and throwing fireworks. The protests were peaceful all day and then turned violent around 10pm. This crap went on past 1am. This whole year is just devastation after devastation. They broke windows in so many damn buildings. They city is destroyed. I canāt believe this is our world right now.

Day 119. Thanks @Dan531 it really does suck for lifting I have been doing alot of the stretches on YouTube for the past like week and no luck so far. @Dragonflygirl82 they donāt work for me either Iāve tried :(. And @GVLNative yeah man deff taking it easy,I donāt think riding wheelies on the bike every two feet helps my elbow at allš Happy Monday everyone, feeling pretty good and back to myself these past couple of days. Starting to work my recovery a lil more again, I really was starting to get way crazy with my excercises and it wore me out way to much. Still gonna get them in just at a smarter pace. Have a good day. Much love to all and keep killing it

Checking in. World is such a disaster right now. But we can deal with it better sober.
I talked to a psychologist friend yesterday whose mom is also a therapist, and one of the momās major lessons is that you can deal with anxiety better when you donāt fight it: ālet yourself dieā. Rather than freaking out with terror at what youāre not and what youāve lost or will lose. Be with the loss. We spend a lot of time denying and pretending and judging. Acceptance is scary but liberating too.
Thereās a lot to fight for in the external world and we can do it better if we arenāt fighting ourselves inside.

Wow, that is scary stuff. Was ur apartment ok? I can understand why people are angry, but still alarming for you. I hope for a better world, wonder if there anything I can actually do.

Waking up on day 3. Feeling pretty good. Trying a new supplement and tea for energy in the morning and tea to help me sleep better at night, itās all definitely helping me get through withdrawal. At least this time around I weaned down, not by choice but it does seem to be better than cold turkey. My symptoms are a bit more mild and mentally it was better. I feel positive and optimistic about sobriety. Have a wonderful day everyone
