Still here. Got a new phone so reinstalled TS and lost my resets. I don’t know. Maybe that’s a good thing.
I am OK. For today. Some crap going on in family life but working thru it. One day at a time. Its raining and my roof is leaking. It’s THAT kind of week.
But still here. Jumped on an online zoom meeting this am for people looking for sponsors and 2 women offered to sponsor me so that gives me hope.
Had a good in person HG meeting yesterday. 1 member is still trying to leave the country when borders open so we will be 2 members but hey… its 2. Could be none.
Working on relying on my HP more.
Quiet day. Letting my kiddos watch cartoons and have a chill chill day while mom (me) binges on AA things and the Calm app.

Checking in on day 70. It’s a good day. On holidays now for the next 3 weeks… It’s Sunny outside and inside in my soul. I love my sober life in general. I am doing this sober life for quite a while although you don’t see it according to my numbers. I’ve had some relapses but I always crawled up again. And I can see that from every downfall I’ve learned something… In the beginning I just counted the hours and days. From one week to the next week. But now I can honestly be with people and gather with them without wanting that drink all the time. I can tell them right in their faces that I don’t drink. Some of them don’t even know that I fell in between again and just ask ah you still don’t drink? And move on… It’s a comfortable feeling. But I am very well aware of not getting too comfortable… I can never be too sure so that I don’t fall again…
Wishing you a fantastic sober Saturday

Day 28
Made it home okay. The plane didn’t crash though the landing was rough. I meditated the whole way back and I think that kept me sane during that part. I’m not really what could be called a “good” flyer. In the past I would definitely be on something before I got on the flight, but I have to say that listening to a good guided meditation and meditating did the trick.
I had fun and was happy to see my friend, but I’m happy to be home where I can focus on staying clean and taking care of my life.

- Coffee. Didn’t sleep long enough as neighbours were having a party. I’m becoming an old fart for letting it annoy me so much . Anyway, I used the first day of my vacation (which may turn out a staycation) to finally unpack the stuff I took from my mum’s place after she died 7 years ago. Lots of books and photos that brought up lots of memories. Sad ones, mad ones, happy ones.
A selection of her wine and spirit glasses turned up too. I threw them out except for two glasses we used to drink together as a memento. When we met we drank a lot together. I never saw us as two alcoholics and my mum never saw herself as one, but both of us certainly drank more than was good for us. I remember how she used to drink quite a lot of sherry in the 70’s, and later switching to wine. Spirits were mostly reserved for me.
My mum wasn’t the greatest as a mother but she did do her best to keep together a family while dad was mostly absent. And also while trying to have her own career and social life. Looking back her drinking didn’t help. Looking back she used drinking to escape an often harsh reality and looking back she was an addict too. Just like me. The pic turned up yesterday. I don’t remember seeing it before.In it she was at about the age I am now. Love.
@Lisa07 Very sorry for your loss Lisa. Tough times. Thinking of you.
@MeganG Just for today Megan. Glad you’re waking up sober so you have all your strength with you. One day at a time.
@Knives69 Makes perfect sense. Good you recognise it for what it is. ODAAT works. You got this.
@M-be-free49 Congrats on your holidays Emm! Of course it takes time to change old habits. Quite a lot of it actually. But keep on keeping on and the old habits will be replaced with new ones and the battle will get less and less until there is no longer a battle at all, just a memory. Again, ODAAT does it. You’re doing great.
@Jennajen Where are you friend? Thinking of you.
@050Nl Talk to us Joost. You’re not alone mate.
