I’ve been robbed by gypsies I’ve been beaten by gypsies but I don’t hate gypsies only the ones that did that and they are both dead now. I’ve bought furniture off gypsies and had help removing cars so we’re all good and bad people just gotta catch me on a good day.

Keep pushing to the 1 year mark, maybe some life changes in year 2. I feel horrible for you, it must be super frustrating. Stay strong.

Hi everyone, time for me to check in and then head off to bed.
Not the best day today, feeling rather down, but… no big deal.
Anyway, on the positive side, I’ve hit my “30-day” goal. Officially, on the app, 90 days is next, but my more short-term goal is 45 days.
In any event, I hope that you are all well tonight, and that everyone will have a happy and sober weekend.

I haven’t started any of the steps yet, but I think one is about resentments. I need to look it up. I am getting myself really, really wound up…
PS: Nothing to do with TS

I’ve never worked the steps with a sponcer but I have a 12 step book
For myself, step one isn’t about winner a war or battle… It’s about the surrender to the deciese which brings us down to a equal level to alcoholics who also surrenderd to the deciese.
It’s like a bottom from which we can let go and start fresh in our mind and for the help of others to reach out
I love the step book
Step 1 admitted we were powerless over alcohol that our lives became unmanageable

Day 4 has been good busy productive. Feeling up and down all day, it helped that I slept roughly 4 hrs last night. Pizza dough is prepped for tomorrow’s extravaganza, pizza without beer, oh my! And hubby is on board with no drinking till his birthday on the 27th. It’s something, I’m grateful. That will be the day for me to prepare all my tools and have a good plan for how to be strong. Off to collect groceries on this rainy day, interesting it’s rained all week…sun comes tomorrow! And maybe for me, personally, internally, also. Have a strong sober weekend folks.

Day 49! I lost 6 pounds in 3 weeks from being in the 11,000ft elevation. How crazy is that?? I didnt even do any cardio and I ate an entire funnel cake and a whole pint of ice cream while I was there. I guess because your body has to work so much harder to function you lose more weight. I did read that the high elevation makes you age faster so I probably got a few new wrinkles 
…I knew it sounded too good to be true!!

Day 211~Todays been strange. I’ve been having some serious cravings more than usual. I haven’t acted on these cravings but I hate that they are still present in my head. Like get the fuck out and leave me alone. Maybe it’s stress that’s triggering it I dunno. I don’t want to drink and won’t but I want these thoughts gone. Being an alcoholic I know that they never will be gone. And that alone is sad to me but it’s the truth. I’m learning to control my compulsive thoughts and cravings and understand booze is not the answer. Never was and never will be.
I figured I’d share this because not everyday is a cake walk even after months of being sober. It’s a daily struggle. A fight like no other. That addiction bastard is always lurking around. Facing our addiction one day at a time knowing these urges pass. We are so blessed to have our sobriety and all the positive that comes along with being sober. Gotta keep going! Gotta keep trying!

Please keep going. You’re one of my role models here. Here’s to hoping the addiction bastard gets caught in a leg trap and gives you a break.
