Hi everyone, I’m just getting ready to pack it in for the day. i was so tired earlier that I couldn’t even finish my language lesson, but I’m feeling a bit better now… just as I’m about to go off to bed !
Wonderful timing…
Anyway, a rather boring day today. When you’re accustomed to working 7 days / week, it’s hard to have an enforced couple of days off. This whole bloody virus thing has certainly thrown a spanner in the works. Well, I hope that things get back to some degree of normalcy soon.
Otherwise, all is well… My counter will shortly roll over to 38 days, so I’m pleased about that. My immediate target is 45 days.
Goodnight all.

So that’s it, I’ve just finished my last drink, this time next year I will be 50 years old with 1 year sober. Apart from the experience I have gained nothing in the past matters from this point on. I’ve run out of excuses and I have run out of time. Watch me now!!!

Hey Emm,
Had a great hike and a cheeseburger and a butterscotch milkshake to top it off. Beautiful day so far. I was just thinking about who wrote that lovely letter to Mr. Moose. I thought that was you. Wasn’t sure through all my tears when I read it. Until I just went back to check it out. You had me balling my eyes out. That was such a beautiful letter.
My sister loves Banff. I never heard of it. She went there last ski season before all this Rona stuff. She couldn’t stop talking about how beautiful it is. She’s an avid skier. Me not so much. Not at all. I wouldn’t mind trying some
Cross country skiing. So you must live in some beautiful country. Also sounds like your getting ready for a long winter.

My son has his robot-making class this morning, during that will go to park with my daughter to collect acorns and pinecones for craft lesson at school. Afternoon will be homework, and maybe tennis with the in-laws. Got dvds from the library last week, one is a Dr Suiss one with Jim Carrey and Steve Carrell, will watch after dinner.

Day 532. I had a rough week and almost had a serious car wreck yesterday. I found that going to a river and sitting alone listening to the water moving for about an hour or so, and then a long walk afterwards brought me back to a better state of mind. It was a huge emotional shift. I highly recommend it if there is a nearby river or body of water that is quiet! Best to everyone!

That must’ve been so scary, I’m glad you’re here to tell us!
Stunning cakes! 
Thanks, yeah, I had my kid in the car and my wife. We got in a huge fight because of it right afterward. This guy almost ran me into a guardrail merging onto a highway. The time at the river saved the day and the rest of the weekend

8 hours in. I made it 10 months lastime. I was never a very habitual drinker. But when I drank I DRAAAAAANK. One was never enough. Drink till you’re blacked out and the anxiety can’t getcha. You know? I had 2 glasses of champagne at my wedding. Which I had planned for. When I quit the last time I never said that I was quitting forever I just wanted to get a grip on it and stop using it to medicate my anxiety. I Was fine for the last 7 months since then. My husband went out of town Friday and I went to the store bought 2 bottles of wine and drank them both yesterday. Knowing exactly how much it was going to hurt me. I don’t know why I did that? I’m full of mind numbing shame. But…I’m going at it again. I’m back to not drinking and maybe I’ll make it a year this time. I’d like it to be forever this time. I’m hoping these daily check ins will be helpful. I’ve liked reading your stories here. Well done everyone.
