Ahhh! I wish nature in NY was like that. Kangaroos are my favorite animal, since I was very young, but the only time I’ve seen them in person was in 1998 at the Toronto zoo. Now I’m not even allowed in Canada 
Looks like you had a nice time out there. I guess I’ll have to settle for deer and raccoons.

great job on the 60 (and 77) days! You’re rocking it. I like your method of counting no alcohol days too, that seems like it can be very motivating

- Impromptu camping trip. Another blessing of sobriety. Not worried about “missing” a night of drinking, not calculating how many beers I need to take, not completely feeling like shit today from last night, so I can make the 2 hour trip to camp. Life is better sober.

Thank you!!! Counting alcohol days definitely motivates me, especially since I stopped that 17 days before quitting marijuana.

You SHOULD be proud of yourself !
Well done… I’ll be happy if I can do the same if/when the occasion arises.
Anyway, I’m just a few minutes away from the 3-day “marker”, and I’m pretty pleased about it.
Writing here helps, and reading comments from other people.
Work is crazy, I’m hardly getting any time to even step out of my flat (I work at home) !
Still, it can’t be all bad, I’m still finding some time to study, so all is good.
Goodnight all, stay sober… I’m certainly aiming to do so !

I have been thinking about you today. I am proud of you too
I’m sorry you have to deal with a situation like that but I’m very glad you came here to vent instead of picking up that drink. Stay strong and just think about how much worse the alcohol would make it. Drinking always compounded my problems no matter what they were.

Checking in. I got 226 days now.
But y’all are fucking warriors man!!! I mean it. I’m so proud of all you!! I waited 45 freakin years to even try to seriously become sober. I think, it cannot possibly be 45 years ago I puked all over myself in a bar in Waterville Maine at age 15 that my friends snuck me into. 1975. And I was know to maybe have a bottle of southern comfort in my locker in the winter. It was cold in MA. What a fuckin waste. All those years being a pretty much functional alcoholic. I worked in restaurants and bars all my life. Booze and drugs was my life. You don’t think I waited to get off work to knock down a cold one do ya? I never lost a job cuz of it either. I’m so proud. NOT!!! Never got arrested. Never got in a car wreck. Same wife of 37 plus years. Imagine what I could have done sober??
Don’t be like me and wait 45 years for your sobriety. Just don’t!! Think of all the money. Think of all the wasted time. You guys are amazing!! Keep up that fight. You’re all worth it. Thanks for y’all’s support in my sober journey. One day at a time. None of us took that first drink a long time ago wanting to be alcoholics.
Don’t wait 45 years to do it!!
Thanks
Eric
