Day 22, I hear the squirrel chatting up my cat. The mockingbird bird is going through his litany of songs. The frog croaks complacently in the pond. A young buck stretches his neck to reach for new growth. The day begins.

Same in my little burg. Fortunately, yesterdayā€™s protests were truly peaceful, and not marred by violence after sunset. We just reopened Friday from lockdown, and since then every place Iā€™d want to go is closing because of the protests.

And most of my customers are in DC, right in the hardest hit areas. The ones who are trying to reopen are delaying until the unrest has passed, and the ones who remained open during the virus lockdown, closed out of caution. One called me yesterday and asked that we come get our machines, as their building was vandalized, and they donā€™t want to be responsible should something happen to them.

But I am sober, and thankfully so.

Itā€™s been awhile since Iā€™ve posted. Talked things through with my boyfriend who is also an alcoholic. Today we are both 3 weeks sober and feeling stronger than ever. Weā€™ve been together almost a year and have had some wild drunken adventures. Turns out, our sober adventures are just as wild and fun!

Starting day 4. Feeling tired today :sleeping: but whatever. Iā€™m not gonna get an energy drink and put pressure on myself to get going. In all reality Iā€™m a stay at home mom and these days I get to make my own schedule. As soon as I donā€™t allow myself to rest and just be a little lazy, thatā€™s when I start to search for something to give me a little pep in my step. I donā€™t need anything. The last few rounds of trying sobriety something different has happened, each time I reset my timer I reflect and learn something new instead of being upset and disappointed at myself. The world is a crazy place right now but for once my head and my heart are starting to feel calm. Have a wonderfully sober Tuesday everyone :grin::+1::sunglasses:

91 days today. I feel like shit, but life IS getting better.
I donā€™t wake up anymore worrying about how and when I can get ā€œwellā€. I AM WELL, even when times are difficult.
Much love to you all. If youā€™re struggling ever reach out to anybody and everybody you got. They might not tell you what you want to hear but theyā€™ll remind you that youā€™re somebody they care about and need in their lives and thatā€™s whatā€™s truly important.

Day 16.13 => 164 days to 6 months sober

This morning shot out of a cannon.
I went for coffee and came back to find an inbox full of early morning meeting invites. 30 minute meetings galore.
Anywho, glad to be working in this environment.

Everyone have a great and Sober Tuesday!!!

Briella, this is what it is all about. Learning from our mistakes so we donā€™t make them again. The saying ā€œwe will fail 100% of the time trying to change the pastā€ is so true. Great job getting back at it and getting the first 4 days under your belt!!! :+1:

I am going to add you to the 6 month crew that will be celebrating 6 mos. sobriety in November. You can see the approximate countdown in my postings (Day 16.13 => 164 days to 6 months sober). I send a shoutout on Fridays.

I was thinking how thankful I am to be sober too. I probably would be doing some crazy shit off my balcony otherwise :flushed:
Since they broke windows and set my building on fire the other day, our whole first floor is now boarded up. Most of the buildings are now. They broke the windows in most of them.
I guess itā€™s selfish of me to want sleep right now because the cause is so important. Iā€™m just really tired.

Iā€™ve always been of the mind that I support someoneā€™s right to waive their arms, but this ends where my nose begins. If you were losing sleep due to shouting and chanting outside, thatā€™s one thing. Losing sleep because you need to remain vigilant so as not to be incinerated is quite another.

Hey Conor

Glad to see your numbers buddy. Its ok if you donā€™t know what to do right now. As long as you stay sober, you give yourself the time and ability to figure out the rest. It will come. In the meantime just be kind to yourself and patient with yourself. The bad times WILL pass. I am proud of you. Know that weā€™re always here for you.
