I am the stewardship minister at my church. I teach people basic personal finance. I highly recommend a budget for everyone, especially singles as they don’t have someone vested to hold them accountable.
If you don’t tell your money where to go, you’ll be left wondering where it went.
I will get to double digits overnight! Excited to hit another milestone! Bring on day 10!
254… I’ll be here for the next 2 nights. Just me and my youngest boy tonight. I would’ve gotten shit faced given this opportunity last camping season. Tonight we’ll do a little fishing, have a fire, and watch a movie later. I’m a much better human sober but once in a while it still calls for me like right now. There is a zero percent chance I’ll drink though, it’s just annoying that my brain has been forever changed. Oh well, I only have myself to blame for that one. Have a great night all.
Gratitude is the great equalizer. A grateful heart is patient and understanding. A grateful heart encourages the mind to maintain a proper perspective. A grateful heart cannot abide the egomania that feeds impatience, intolerance and fear.
I sure miss picking up chips. Can’t wait for meetings to open back up.
I appreciate the warning that year 2 isn’t all roses. I’m at 324 days sober and I just think that once I hit my one year everything will be fine. Always just one day at a time.
291 Days. I had a really crappy stressful day at work. I came on here and read a lot of inspirational posts, chatted with a TS friend (you know who you are) and now I’m feeling so much better. This forum continues to help me get through my daily struggles. Thank you!!
Friends make everything better! Everyone needs them sometimes.
Awesome job, Charlie…keep up the great work 
Day 20. Everyday it becomes a little more apparent that sobriety is the best for equilibrium. I’m learning how to let things go just a little more and it’s a nice feeling.
: Sick to my stomach. Found the perfect house for my kids and me, that is right in my price range, but deep down I know my reckless handling of my finances and not managing my credit like I should have through my years of heavy drinking is going to prevent me from getting the home. Going to be another hard lesson learned, but we reap what we sow. Fingers crossed, but I know too well. Going to keep trying to improve every day. That’s all I can do.
Congratulations Charlie 
Great job @Charlie_C & @anon35096624 on 30 days and @Jonachav123 on 6 months of sobriety. 
Beautiful figures 333 @Fargesia_murielae I can see a year round the corner. 
Keep on trucking guys odaat.
Blessings and sobriety!
Thank you! I can see a year around the corner with you as well 
Checking in on day 31! Mood much better. Had a shit night sleep because I worry too much about things. Things that I haven’t worried about when I drank because I numbed them… But it’s OK. I’ve solved them and now I’m OK. Will sleep much better tonight.
I wish all of you a beautiful sunny day 
I forgot how many days because I am so happy I ran 20 minutes! Also miraculous I fit it in between downpours! My legs always felt heavy and painful in the evenings, but after months of plodding on with the running they finally seem to be improving. Of course, after drinking I don’t feel like exercising for days. Even though there have been a couple of relapses my health seems to be reaping the benefits.
I’ve never loved running but I can’t deny it has a powerful effect on the body and soul. I’ll try it again once our gym opens up.
. Anyhow, I’ll stay clean and sober as I hope you all will. It’s a much better way of being. Have a good day all. Sober and clean. Love from Amsterdam.Thanks mate
