Love the Kanc, tho a bitch to drive in the winter!!! I lived in Bethlehem for a few years way back when. Love that area so much and miss it every day (tho not the long snow season). Did a ton of winter hiking in the Presidentials and rock climbing in Franconia Notch when I was āa kidā.

Day 5! Ive been on the road for 3 days checking out Savannah GA. I feel like I am just constantly apologizing to my mom for my shitty personality.
Someone mentioned making a list of things that have not worked for me to stay soberā¦ might try that today.
Congrats on 300 days @Lisa07 Your journey has been so inspiring.

Thank you @siand. My husband was diagnosed with diabetes from heavy drinking 3 months ago. Heās an alcoholic and it scared the crap out of him so he made promises to himself and us. I think he hides it because my daughter now has a huge fear of daddy dying from this disease. If she sees a can or bottle, she starts freaking out before knowing what it is (usually soda or NA beer). I almost wish he wasnāt so honest with her when he got that call from his Dr.
Thanks @anon12657779. Iām getting much better at ignoring him or walking away. It took me awhile to learn that engaging is like adding fuel to the fire.
Thank you for the great advice @Girlinterrupted. Weāll both start Al-anon immediately. Itās obvious thatās what we need, I donāt know why it never crossed my mind before.
Thanks @Fargesia_murielae. Iām trying to be gentle and understanding. Iām just really frustrated with him insulting my intelligence. I can honestly say Iām having a hard time showing any love lately. Hopefully, heāll jump on the sobriety train soon and we can resume a happy life together.

Fantastic news!! Super congrats on your 60 days!!!
I know the winters are pretty brutal up there. Itās just such beautiful place and love Franconia notch. By this time of year Iāve usually been a few times. I gotta get my butt up there this weekend. I need a nice hike to clear my mind.

Thank you so much for your support @Dolse71!! Watching my side of the street has honestly saved my own sobriety. Thereās been so many thoughts lately about giving all this up. My addict brain is like āif heās not going to stop then why should I continue to battle sobriety daily.ā
When Iām feeling overwhelmed, my thought goes toā¦āIāll take the easy way out and numb it all, like he does.ā Thereās been quite the battle in my head lately so Iāve stepped up my meetings to at least one a night.

Pull ups could be the cause of your elbow pain, had tendinitis for years fro. Pulling my self in and out of a truck. Ice, heat and rest should help. And be careful of the planks with your rotator cuffs.

It really does waste time. I was sitting on my couch yesterday and it felt like I was only 30 minutes online. I was online for hours! Outside it already became dark! So I said to me: quit, now.

I understand that feeling Iām on 21 meetings and 21 sober days and not a day goes by that I donāt want to pick up but we both know that reality will always come back and bite us in the arse and we no longer have the strength to deal with it. Not only do we then have to deal with everyone elseās shit we canāt deal with our own internal battle. Now is not the time not with 300 days behind you. Youāve been through a lot in those 300 so please make sure you can stay on the right path bc there will no doubt be more life tests in the next 300.

I think this is an issue everyone is havingā¦I for one wake up feeling super anxious sometimes and just donāt have time for peopleās crap and stupidity. Unfortunately the world we are living in right now is one full of people on edge staring into an unknown for a future. My best advice to you is to focus on whatās positive, what in your future is something you can look forward to and count your blessings. Deep breaths and smile when you can. It actually boosts your energy and your mood. Have a good day

Hi, its 6:15 am on day 4 in my part of the marble. 85Ā° f heading for 110Ā°f. My shoulder is aching but my head is not. Heading to physical therapy (or pain and torture) for said aching shoulder shortly. Looking forward to the promise of a new day and another day in the good fight. I hope all of you will find reasons to smile today. Good day to you and thank you for being hereā¦
