Day 19
Today I played tennis. And by play tennis, I mean I stood in 36 degree heat holding a tennis raquet and only hitting balls that were directly in front of me, cos no way I am running in that chuffing heat.

Day 554
Smoking 39
I’m feeling better than I have done in a looong time, I’ve managed to grasp some optimism finally. Yesterday I had a final clear out of ‘stuff’ so woke up this morning knowing that I now only own things I want and/or need. Very satisfying, no junk. I have also started house hunting, I’m now in a position to buy a house thanks to sobriety. Being back in the office with other people has also helped with my mood massively and I think I might have even made a new friend!
Thinking back to what complete trash my life was 18 months ago and feeling grateful that I came to my senses.
Have a great sober day folks

Made it through a Saturday night without alcohol. First one in a very long time. Feels good to be sitting here not hungover with my coffee. 
Have a wonderful Sunday everyone

Feeling the long term fall out from covid-19 regarding loss of work here and the on going grief of my Dad passing about one year ago. Glad to be sober, but things can feel overwhelming.
Hope everyone has a great day, as it is said, and I try my best to live - one day at a time.

Checking in at 94.4 days. Sooooo sleepy! I guess I’m making up for lost time. I definitely don’t mind the extra sleep. Just wish I felt less fatigued during the day. Well, today is cleaning day, whoot. Better get to it. Happy sober Sunday everyone

Day 79 clean and sober today. Woke up without a bunch of emotional pain this morning. I want to ride this out as long as possible as every day has been pretty brutal. I hope I’m at the end of the greiving cycle/process, that would be great lol. Have a great day everyone, much love and respect!

Day 14: Last night was frustrating on a few different levels but it’s in the past and this morning is absolutely perfect. Gorgeous blue sky, light breeze, and delicious sunshine. I’m feeling pretty dang good and looking forward to spending most of the day on my deck with iced tea and lemonade, grilling some sausages and late season sweet corn later, and soaking it all in, living in this moment and enjoying time with my husband and two pups. Grateful for the opportunity to live in the now today.

Day 37! Every day my Fiance gives me this sinking feeling in my chest. The day he got here I got yelled at for giving our kid 2 oreos after dinner, and then had to recite everything she ate all week. And yesterday she had this huge tantrum. I have only seen her have a tantrum like that maybe 4 times in her life where she is so worked up she cant even breathe. He found her binky and then was forcing her to say thank you but she couldnt even talk because she was so upset, so I told him she didnt have to say thank you right now… and that was the next world war 3 because I dont “respect his parenting.” I just got super silent while he yelled at me over and over. I didn’t want to escalate the situation further but man… does life really have to be like this?? It was so peaceful when he wasnt around. Anyway I am joining a support group for people with spouses with OCPD, unfortunately a lot of them are divorced or staying together for the children. I am not giving up yet, but its hard not to reach for the bottle sometimes.
