Going on 43 days here. Thankfully it’s starting to get a little easier to push those voices in your head (that tell you that you need a drink) to the back of the line. Physically, I feel better, but to be honest, mentally, I feel kinda depressed. Still going through the furlough from my job (supposedly until August 3rd, from April 6th) and for the first couple of months, I got through the mundane and annoying quarantine by drinking. Now I don’t have that, so I’m left with my clear thoughts and they are not always pleasant. Trying to keep myself busy…haven’t found anything I really enjoy enough to call a hobby, but cooking occasionally helps. Oh well…that’s my check in for the day.

Checking in on my 30th. Day of sobriety to maintain focus for the 31st. Day. Badges and accolAdes have poured in. Yes I am good. I am very good. I can do this by doing the small things right. I don’t have to conquer the world but simply not pick up a drink. Thanks everyone for being a part of my journey partner.

Thanks Paul. Not here as much. This place became a gift and a curse for me. But still striving towards the ultimate goal. Figure I’ll drop in from time to time, for those that still care.
