Day 6 today I’ve been trying hard to remember what helped me do well in my recovery before my relapse and it was my faith in God I seem to have stopped praying as much lately so today i started my day in prayer and gratitude for everything I have in my life it feels good to start my day this way and it’s something I’ll keep doing I wish my church was open so I could go and talk to my priest I’m sure in time meetings and churches will open as I know so many people need face to face contact . Happy Saturday every one x

Think of yourself as in a cocoon, safe and warm with all the nutrients you need. Knowing you will emerge as a beautiful, vibrant human being. Nurture yourself now. Be loving and tender.

Day 17 and clean. My counselor asked me to make a vision board of what my life would look like in 5 years. When I was much younger I did 5 year plans. I loved the orderliness of making those timelines. Alas, life tends to be more of a zigzag line.

I had a vivid dream in which I was at a big dinner event and I was drinking. I had, in the dream, a very strong cocktail and wine. I felt headachy in the dream, nothing good. It took me a while to realize, when I woke up, that it didn’t happen. Relieved.

Checking in on a lazy sober Saturday. My sister had her double mastectomy yesterday and did well. My heart aches for her. They think this is all she will need to be cancer free, so crossing fingers and toes. Her husband couldn’t even be with her due to Covid. I hate that she’s alone in the hospital. The good news is that she’ll actually be able to go home today! So lots of spoiling is headed her way.

My older daughter is coming over after work to hang out. We’ll go get some dinner and then cuddle up at my place for a movie. Can’t wait to see her :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Have a wonderful sober Saturday everyone xx

  1. Ate at a real fancy restaurant last night, think it was the first time since I became sober. I did sort of miss tasting special wine (as opposed to the slobber I used to drink daily at home), and I still liked the sommelier’s information and smelling my friend’s wines. I didn’t feel like drinking alcohol at no time and not at all though. I guess that saved me from seriously craving (or actually drinking). The food was absolutely fantastic. We had fun. It was a very nice night. Showed me I can have fun in a place like this without boozing. Have a great weekend all! Sober and clean. In the pic I’m on the left with a glass of AF pear cider. Not bad.

    @ifs Yay James! Big congrats friend.
    @Conor689908 Very sorry for the loss of your aunt Conor. Strength to you.
