Todays been a good day all things considered. I felt energized and grateful for another day. I lived today to the best of my ability and I’m going to bed sober and proud. Can’t really ask for more than that. Much love TS. And anyone out there struggling and battling keep fighting you owe it to yourself and deserve to be happy and at peace. KEEP TRYING.

Checking in sober and cigarette free 
The weekend is nearly here… I plan on working to find some balance within myself. I need to start listening to my mind and body more and be easy on myself. I see a lot of low keyness/resting in my near future… I hope you all have a safe, relaxing, and sober weekend

I’m still going. I feel very antsy though. This is about the time I start feeling like being clean sucks. I keep busy, but my mind goes places. The memories are better than what it would actually be though.

Congrats @Chiron! Do u have a con list u can look at times when u feel like that? It is so ironic that when we finally get comfortable in sobriety we start taking it for granted.

Congrats on 2 months @Chiron!
Keep playing that tape all the way through. It will not end well. Maybe write down some of the cons and refer back to it when you have those thoughts.
Edit…I should have read @Misokatsu response first. But then again, if more than one person is making the same suggestion, it must work, right?

Sorry to hear about your beloved Moose. Something that brings me comfort at a time of grief is to know that there is only so much sadness because there was so much love. Sounds like he’s had an amazing life with you

Today is day 37 … last time I got 37 days I relapsed… that will not be happening today ! Or any time in my future.! I’m more then determined to stay clean this time and never look back . I’m up early to walk teddy before I go to work… my poor Millie is still poorly and was up in the night with her as she’s being sick . I’m sure it’s a heavy cold and a 24 hour bug … even at 17 she got into my bed to be looked after! I now feel guilty again as I need to open the barbers and I can’t leave early as I’m the only one working!!! Thank God for having a phone so she can call if she’s really unwell… normally my parents would help me out but with covid we can’t take the chance of them being around us … I’m so grateful to be clean to deal with this straight headed . It’s amazing how much I can handle being clean ! Roll on 4pm when I finish work and have tomorrow off with my Millie! Happy Saturday every one x

I’m here, I’m alive and I’m sober.
Day 20
Had a nice time with Pa and my husband yesterday grocery shopping.
We went to our traditional Friday Fika after school with the kids. Ths cashier lady almost cried when I asked for something “Milk, gluten, peanut treenut and soy free” after some thinking she showed me the biggest meringue I ever seen. Sugar overload but it was nice to be able to eat something out.
The kids got their monthly allowance and where really happy.
I discovered that we need to buy a new Chromecast unit to make the sound work on Disney + movies because that app doesn’t have sound options like Netflix does,and one of our TVs are to old to even use the app. Hopefully we can buy a new TV before Christmas with Disney + already installed. And the Chromecast upgrade will be next month. I want to wait because the app has only been available in Sweden for 4 days so they might fix the issue. Also all the old classics like Goof Troop, Gummy Bears and Quack Pack works just fine.
I’m planning to buy a huge bag of candy at watch Disney + all night. Daytime we’re probably going for a fall picnic.
Still can’t sleep, and the rest of yesterday was a huge mess. Gypsy Galore style, so here’s today’s episode.
My childhood friend (the psychologist one) have a wife who has a really demanding job. Yesterday she got heart problems and was sent to the ER. She’s burned out because of stress as is not going to be able to work for a very long time. They already got some economical issues so now he’s devastated. I try my best to help out but I’m not sure how much of a help I am.
The family members with the teen I wrote about yesterday was accused of domestic violence,against his ex wife. He never touched her but the wife and his teen is still trying to make it look at sound like it. Problem is that he still lives with them because of those kids. We’re helping him look for a place of his own, he might get one today but is going to need to borrow some money for the rent. We’re not taking the teen in to help out, but if he doesn’t get that place he might end up staying here.
It’s a hard thing to be accused of and ofc he is devastated as well.
My brother have decided to celebrate his son (my nephews) birthday next weekend so even if I had a small plan on not going there’s no excuse on earth that’ll work now. He turns 1 year old. I do plan on getting someone to pick us up so we won’t have to spend the night at least.
To be continued…
Wishing y’all a wonderful weekend

@Misokatsu and @Lisa07 thank you! that is great advice. It is easy to take sobriety for granted after a couple months. That 2-3 month mark is rough.
