Day 61, still sober even though it was a really close call yesterday. I just got that feeling of ‘fuck all and everything’ when one thing after the other didn’t work out the way I had hoped. So the voice in my head was like ‘I’m gonna get in my car right now and get me some’ but thank god I called my best friend which made all the difference…
She told me to join a meeting, which I tried but then called a fellow 'cause it didn’t work, only to find out I was trying to join Tuesday meetings on a Monday. :ok_hand: Good times.

Today’s the 18 year ‘anniversary’ of my grandfather’s death, first time I’m living this day as sober as can be and I just fucking hate it. Excuse me for my bad language, it’s just how I feel. We had a very special bond, he was more of a father to me and I dread this day every single year. He died on Father’s Day in 2002. Bawled my eyes out this morning and I’m just hoping this day will be over soon. Hopefully things will go back to normal soon as I haven’t been feeling too well these past few days.

Wow, that definitely sounds exciting and scary!! I remember when I started my own company…lots of work and stress and rewarding in a variety of ways. I have great faith in you. Shaking our selves and our worlds up and stretching our selves is often a positive and powerful thing! Congrats!!!
