Day 11. It was a very good day, I worked and ran and spent good time with family. Don’t even crave at the moment, but I’m always sleepy like hell.

Congratulations!
Hello everybody. Just a quick word to say good night and to check in. In fact, I almost forgot! things have been quite busy today and are likely to be equally so tomorrow, so I should get to bed. I’m off to Greece on Saturday morning, I’m hoping that the weather will be nice and that I will be able to do some decent diving. If I manage to get any nice pictures, I’ll post a few of them here.
Anyway, good night everyone. Have a safe and sober evening.

It’s been since February for me too. At the place I go to when I’m in Santa Monica you can get a one hour reflexology foot massage for 40 dollars before or after you pedi. It’s freaking amazing! And frankly it’s such a great price. I found myself going there a lot at the beginning of my sobriety. My wife thinks I’m such a “girl”. I tell her someone in the family has to do that stuff. She hates that stuff. I hope you’ll be able to treat yourself this weekend or soon. And get the reflexology massage too. Sounds like you could use it. You deserve it!! And you’re worth it.

Thank you, it has been a crazy 90 days at that. Normally the summer is a tougher time for me…I actually think the quarantine helped me personally.

Half-way to 90!
Been a bit busy with kids, work, etc. Not thinking about drinking, which on the one hand is good, but one the other hand, I need to think about and appreciate not drinking so it becomes a practice. I also need to make sure I maintain time for me. It is easy to fall into the trap of get up in morning, see to kids, go to work, see to dinner and laundry, see to kids, finish up work, sleep. And I just feel life is draining me. I know life isn’t all fun and sparkles, but there has to be some personal enjoyment.

Day 537. I am home safely and ready to move on. The last two months were a roller coaster. I realized that one person can ruin the good work of a hundred, with very little effort.
My experience at work taught me a lot. I enjoyed the work itself, but when asked to do absurd things for arbitrary reasons, I balked and simply couldn’t do it. It was also the first time in twelve years, after talking with several thousand Japanese people, I was told to go back to America.
So I am ready to move on again. I have no idea what I will do for work now, but at least I’m sober, and have a few friends and family that still care about me.

That is a hurtful thing to hear, but that is the other person’s prejudice. You should focus on t, and what ur next step will be.

Well done on your length of sobriety. Today is what you choose to make it. If you go to the market just watch out for all the Aussie crabs and spiders and snakes and sharks and creepy crawlies and drop bears and…

- I have read many day 1/relapse posts recently. That was me for decades! It sucked, and it doesnt have to be you. You have this wonderful resource, use it! Before you pick up, come on here and ask for help. A better life waits for you, grab it and live.
I remember at the beginning of this journey, life with out drinking seemed like an impossibility. It was this place that got me past those days.
Today was wonderful, only because 916 days ago I got stubborn, I got humble, i asked for help.
