This weekend hasn’t been going as good as I had hoped. Grateful for my only in person womens AA meeting this evening.
I finally caught a decent number.
Day 61.
Glass half full. Getting ready to go back to work on Monday after two weeks off. Like yesterday, am still realizing I would set these unreachable goals for what I would get done in a day (at work, home, life generally, etc) when I was drinking, likely to compensate for drinking, and then I likely drank to numb the feeling of failure at not getting it all done. Am starting to accept I can’t do it all, but more importantly, i don’t want or need to.
I don’t want to miss out on a life well lived - and there’s still time to live it.
A lot of you had hard days…
@Dolse71 and @anon60334405 - proud of you for riding it out.
@Dragonflygirl82 - you are the definition of keeping on fighting!
@Rockstar24777 and @Brookiemonster618 - sending you hugs and
G’night all - big love
Tired, my guy won’t be home when I thought he would (should have guessed) and now I’m anxious being here alone. It’s 11 pm here. My sicky dog just vomited his dinner, poor fella. I want to just go to sleep but I know I can’t till hubby gets home. He’s got an hour drive and I can only hope he hasn’t been drinking or will be sober before he leaves. The anxious mind cranks on…
Sorry if you’re having a bummer of a weekend. But you do have some great numbers there. I hope when I get numbers like that a lousy weekend will be just a bit better cuz of numbers like that.
Praying for a better week a head for ya.
Can you get someone else to put a password on it and get them to not tell you. Worked for me and adult apps
Checking in sober. My son’s and I played and swam in the ocean for most of today. I was able to let go of a lot of the stress I’ve been holding onto. I have been spiraling a little with expectations I’m putting on myself. I’m taking too much on and then feeling overwhelmed. So thankful for the time in the ocean. At one point my older son and I were out for 45 minutes, swimming past where the waves break. It was really peaceful… Despite the random underwater rivers of ice we would swim through. My fingers were pruned and numb by the end of it. We had such a successful day at the beach. We even got there super early and I was able to see the ocean in the morning which is extremely beautiful and calming.
I had to drive for about an hour last night and that’s rare thing for me… It was really comforting knowing I didn’t need to worry about my driving. I know drinking and driving is a huge thing, but it’s still such a “revelation” and calming feeling knowing I’m NOT driving drunk.
RIP. I’m so upset when I heard he died last night. What an awesome person. Did you see his last tweet?
YES @KamalaHarris!

2020 continues to suck.
Checking in on day 85. Going home from my holiday today. Really looking forward to be home tonight. I wish everyone a happy, beautiful Sunday
Great numbers, nice one
Another day clean. I’m feeling melancholy tonight. Not sure why. I spent some time looking at Mars and at the moon this evening (technically this morning). There are so many planets visible right now. I love it.
@anon60334405 glad to hear from you. I was concerned. Hang in there. You’re doing great.
@Francisco1 400 days! Congrats!
@Axsis three 3s. Love it. Good job!
- Coffee. Took the day largely off yesterday, just did some finishing touches on my kitchen floor. Still feeling my hands from the sanding job but it’s time to finish painting, start refurnishing, and get rid of the stuff piled up in my living room. Sober and clean.
Instead of DIY at home I did a round through town, shopping, coffee, borrowing a drill from a mate. Watched Netflix and had a good night with some odd dreams. Ready for today now. Have a good one all! Clean and sober. Love from Amsterdam.
Some beautiful numbers around here. @Lisa07, @Francisco1, @Axsis Big congrats guys!
@anon60334405 As @M-be-free49 said, the real badass is living sober. Yes, it takes more work than just drinking and snorting away. But a hike or a bike in nature for example will give you so much more than getting wasted. While it is also getting away from it all. The camaraderie in using together is all false. And you know it I think. Still sometimes it’s hard I know. Addiction knows when to reel you back in. Good work on not giving in friend. One day, one crave at a time.
Happy Sunday everyone. Got myself 3 figures, so impressed.
I hope you all have a lovely day. Stay
strong out there and believe in yourself.My phone has been out of action the last few days but I’m here! Still sober! Almost 15 days, second sober weekend woop woop! Got a new apartment yesterday, moving in next weekend all is well! Hope you’re all flying it
Great job mate, can I have some of what you’ve got please.
