I enjoyed listening to your share in the meeting today and talking about your playing music. Especially the violin. I play too, and I think I’ll play alot better being sober.

- My short work week starts today. Had a long hard ride yesterday, finding some beautiful roads in an area I never was before. Warm and dry weather means the farmers were out mowing. Had a flat on my way home. Brought my repair kit and a spare tyre so it was OK. A host of life lessons in there I guess. Have a good day all. Sober and clean. Love from the province of Utrecht.
@Edmund Big number Big Ed! Big congrats!

Amazing picture, and amazing weather. You guys have the winter temperatures we call a nice summer day here. I might need to emigrate 
I’m glad things are going great for you, and that you are able to help families in need.
Wishing you a wonderful day

Day 32,waiting for the sun to show. It’s supposed to be clearer in the sky around 10 o clock. Kids ate still asleep, we watched Scooby-Doo our favorite cartoon and ate Ice cream yesterday. I even bought a soda for us. I’m trying to do summer break things with the boys that kids are supposed to do. But it might leaning more to things I didn’t got to do on my summer holidays when I was a kid.
It’s already to late to do things like that with the soon to be 18 y/o, and I’m feeling bad for screwing that up. We had the time to do some of it, and we have a really good relationship that I’m extremely grateful for.
And I don’t want to do the same mistake with the boys. We had a long afternoon walk yesterday, the 10 y/o met some friends and spent some time with them swimming in the river, while me and the 10 y/o watched the ducklings and played.
Tomorrow my sister is coming for a luxurious breakfast, my husband is working night shifts this week so he sleeps all day, wakes up and goes to work. I’m feeling like a kid without a babysitter. It’s a strange feeling.
I’m still hysterically allergic but at least I’m sober and present in life. Nothing can beat that feeling.
Wishing y’all an amazing day

Day 17 and looking forwards to enjoying this sun with nice refreshing Non alcoholic drinks instead of being shackled to a case of ale, bottle counting, worrying about work tomorrow etc. 
Wishing you all another fresh nice day, free of your addictions!

I’m currently trying different kinds of Iced tea (not only the usual Sweet tea) and Iced coffee. Yesterday I did Iced chai, it was amazing. I kinda live out in the sticks, so there’s no place to buy things like that. I’ve saved a ton of recipes on pinterest and I’m now going through them one by one in the hope of finding an absolute favorite non alcoholic drink.

Real success comes in small portions day by day.
Happy and very encouraged by making it to day 17.
I can not figure out why this time seems so different from all my other attempts but I keep thanking my higher power 2x a day for this magnificent new mindset. Wonders may never cease to exist if I stay sober each and every moment of every day. So grateful to have found all you positive kind people. You have helped me tremendously with your laughter, honesty and bravery. THANK YOU ALL FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART.

Waking up on day 10. Feeling sleepy and sad 
I’m going to feed the baby and snuggle up with her and back to sleep we’ll probably go. Going to try to make today about laundry and cleaning up my bedroom and bathroom. I need to get off the self care only train and start getting some things done. Still not going to go too crazy with anything because I know being overwhelmed is my biggest trigger. Have a Wonderful Wednesday everyone
