Proud of you for tackling day 1. Back there again myself… for me it helps to evaluate and look forward. Otherwise I would just stay in the zone of kicking myself. Wish you a lot of strength

Thank you for sharing, I can relate to how you are feeling having to go back into work. Planning the day and having structure, but then it is kind of ripped away. It is a lot to handle at the same time if you are replanning your life. I am by far not an expert, but taking it 2 minutes at a time and listening to yourself is huge step already. Happy for you, that you are on day 3, that is a lot of sober 2minutes

Hahaha actually yes 
I feel like it’s giving me a chance to act differently then reacting to frustration. I know I can be a good problem solver and thoughtful, but these day I am just not - but I also know it’s not by continuing reacting to my feeling by bad habits and drinking that I’ll soon find back myself… Have a good day, or at least a lot of 2 minute

For me, once I removed Have to drink, out of my thought process to respond to life…I was able to remove “had to reset”.

Day 555. This day last year I would be leaving for Capri, Italy. Instead I spent the morning in my doctors office regarding red blotches that have formed on my legs. They have no idea what they are but can “almost” rule out cancer. It has to do with something internally as they blanch when you press on them. I’m guessing my liver. It’s always my dumb liver. A year and half sober and the cirrhosis is still haunting me. Hoping for the best but expecting the worst news.

Good passage from my Dalai Lama meditations book. Important concept in these times we live in.
Loving my AA home group, and the other meetings at the same location. Last night’s was particularly good, very refreshing.
Now that I am actually going out and outside after dark sometimes, rather than staying at home, I’ve been encountering a lot of nocturnal wildlife around here. Saw a skunk last night (which ran AT me!), and have discovered that we have TONS of these frogs (toads?) all over the place around here at night. I have to watch my step. This chill little fella let me get so close for a picture. I named him Cinnamon Bublé.

What is up everyone? Hope all is well and sober. Day 18 for me and finished the rear brakes on my truck is AM. Now, just waiting on my fender so I can be mobile again. I can’t flipping wait! So, it will be a day of reading, looking for job opportunities and spending time on TS. Its darn sure going to be another day sober. Take care all and have a great day!

I would have named the skunk but it was too dark to get a feel for him/her, and I was too busy backpedaling away
Probably call it Kaitlyn Munchback
