Beauty!
I took this close-up on my forest walk yesterday…
If those little flowers can bloom where they are and be sober, surely I must give this my best try too

Hello fellow travelers,
Just another shout out of thanks for sending me strength to ride out yesterday’s bumps in the road… the liquor store did indeed keep knocking on the door in my mind, but I just kept replying “wrong place, no drinkers here, move along now…” and it seemed to pass - part just riding it out, part distraction, lots of deep breaths and reminding myself “I’m already sober. I’m where I want to be. Just stay here now.”
Thanks again 
Today looks like rain, so dog girl and I will hunker in with tea and some tunes and catch up on work - grateful that the cravings are far away. They are likely tired from all their pointless work yesterday, and hiding under a rock somewhere 
Wishing you all good things today! Peace and contentment,
M

Day 13 and feeling so positive with my recovery at last I’m doing 90 meetings in 90 days and connecting with new people in ca fellowship in London. I’m greatful to have a fantastic sponsor but she moved away from me so as much as we talk I need to search for a new sponsor more local cos I really need to go through my 12 steps programme again . My mental health is so much better and I feel so more happier then I have in a long time . I hope everyone is having a blessed day x x x x x x

day 221
Today addiction has been sneaking up on me. I was going to check the settings of my previous YouTube channel for future purposes. A lot of videos from my favourite YouTuber/twitch streamer appeared. My mouse stood on them for a while. All I had to do was click. Luckily I didn’t. I went to the settings. All went good after that. For the rest of the day, I’ve been thinking that gaming isn’t that evil and watching YouTube isn’t either as long as I can do it moderately. No fucking way that that’s gonna happen tho

Evening check in. I wanted to go for a bike ride after work but I was too tired and it was too windy. So I took a nap instead. And afterwards still indulged myself with this desert of mango, blueberries and ice cream topped with some ginger and elderberry syrup. Will work on losing the calories later 
. Just wanted to share. Sober and clean. Who needs booze or drugs? Have a good one all. Love.

This is an afternoon check in. Working on Sundays was a painful task. But then 23 days ago I would have checked my stock re stocked as necessary got ready for evening of real blast at a party of one. But of course the phone would be near by to unashamedly express my opinion on all matters. But today I am going home to watch TV for a couple of hours and then water the lawn and pick some weeds. My wife and son are having an afternoon nap. They will be up by the time I get to the lawn. This is my plan and assurance that I will usher in day 25
Checking in on day 24 to maintain focus on my sobriety.

That’s the addict’s way of thinking, however this is not necessarily bad. We always wanted a quick fix, if we felt bad, we used our DOC instantly, we wanted to fix that immediately. Our mind has gotten used to highs being achieved instantly and now it thinks it can achieve perfection instantly

Haven’t checked in for a while but today is day 102 for me. I can’t believe I made it to the triple digits!! I encourage anyone who has had to keep starting over to never give up. It’s not easy every single day, but being sober is the best thing I have ever done for myself.
