Yes. You’re right & I know that this is all just residuals of my alcoholism. I’m so ready to get it all behind me. Thank you

Day 13. Finally done with the deadline at work and I feel great about it. I bought a pressure cooker (Instapot) and have some soup cooking now. I’ve never used a pressure cooker before! Excited to see how it turns out. I took tomorrow off to get some much needed time away from work. Looking forward to having lunch with my daughter and doing some shopping. Sober Life is awesome!

Day 523. I had a great week, work wise and personally. I adjusted to getting up at 5am and speaking Japanese all day. Our site driver stopped drinking while driving our crew home at night, per my complaint to management. And it’s a comfortable 85 to 90f everyday now, instead of around 100+. My son is getting bigger and is healthy. For the time being, things are good. Still clean, and I am planning to keep it that way. Best to all!

Congrats on 30 days!
Your trip sounds fun. Enjoy and yes, check in here often. I did my first sober (and part of it solo) vacation this summer. I checked in here so often, I was like the annoying youngest kid on the block… “hey guys, what’cha doin? I’m sober. what’cha doin now? I’m still sober. Still sober over here! Wanna play? I’m sober!” 
And guess what? They didn’t kick me out of the club

Checking in again at the end of day 4.
It’s incredible how I am blasted every time I sober up… the cloud leave… I became aware and clear minded… anxiety is gone and I see my thoughts going and I see what my actions could and shouldn’t be… I feel in control but not so much so I can just be still… I don’t get too excited about new ideas and I don’t get too depressed from some others… I can easily put the decision to do something or not at later, like I’ll wait two minutes and see, and then poof, just doing that I know what I have to do…
Sobriety is a superpower.
Alcohol is killing all my potential and reduce it to the cheapest life I could get.
I know not everyday are going to be like this : all today wasn’t like that. But I can thrive for those moments and look up to them and repeat the behaviours what makes them happen.
Life can be so much more beautiful when the clouds of alcohol leaves our head.
I’m grateful for this feeling tonight.
Haven’t got time to read all posts from today, but wishing everyone an happy day and sober night.

Checking in on day 31. It has been cold here the last few days, but warmed up a bit today. Went for a long bike ride today, and just got back from an evening walk with the fam. The leaves are starting to turn in some areas!
I heard the Rocky Mountains got snow dumped on them already 
not sure if I’m ready for that yet!
Anyway, sober on, my magnificent people!

Day 73.
Took lots of mini-breaks today at my desk and tried to tackle more bite-sized chunks of work instead of mountains - all to help tone down the stress voice (“you’re not getting enough done and you’re not good enough!”) and give myself the sweet reward and relief of presence of mind throughout the day. Baby steps, but I think it will help me get to the end of the work day not depleted and seeking liquid relief.
It’s not just about not drinking. It’s not just about surviving my days AF. It’s about decluttering, really. Making room in my mind for stillness, time in my day for freedom of unobstructed thought, making each sober day feel like its own reward already.
Thanks for being here. Big love to all.
@Dragonflygirl82 drunken version of lasagna? best laugh of the day! 
@ChristopherX it gets better, just like you are. Hugs and hope to you.

This speaks to me. I have the laugh now cry later tattood on my back. My external does not resemble my internal at all. Right now after almost 2 weeks separation I feel numb still. My masks are up and my thoughts running riot. I’m still clean and want to remain this way but still difficult dealing with emotions sober and clean. Want to face everything but also want to run at the same time. FML

Going to bed at 105.93 days sober. Today was a really good day, biz is picking up. Nervous that I have to have a meeting with one of my brokers. He’s pretty intense, volatile, and sensitive. So, not sure how he’s going to take what I have to say. I hate this shit, sigh. Anyway, I’ll talk to my awesome therapist about it tomorrow and likely speak with the broker Monday. I was able to play a bit with my camera today, here’s a few pics. Sweet dreams sober peeps

Having a day of weird coincidences. I’m sure many of you would be seeing evidence of HP. I don’t really believe, but appreciate the irony.
