Thereā€™s an unopened bottle left and I intend to keep it so I can offer it to future guests. I feel strong enough in my sobriety for it now and I want to be able to offer my non-alcoholic friends a glass at dinner. But if this bottle under the kitchen sink starts occupying my mind in any way Iā€™ll pour it out immediately. And Iā€™m not recommending this action to anyone, itā€™s just my own way.
Itā€™s different with smoking, I donā€™t want any smoking in my home since I quit, but thatā€™s mainly because of finding it repulsive, and not wanting to inhale second hand smoke and have the tar on my walls, windows and furniture. I do have some cigarettes laying around for about a year now that I keep forgetting to take to work to give to some of my poorest tobacco addicted residents. Thanks for reminding me, Iā€™m putting them in my backpack for tomorrow right now. Smokingā€™s just not an issue to me no more and I hope Iā€™m getting there with alcohol too. Maybe itā€™s a bit early for that, will see how it goes.
@Lhasaluv Huge congrats on your birthday and 63 days of sobriety Sandi!

The question we all had in mind :rofl:
@Mno I was asking myself how much do you think about it since you bought it / it is left in the house?

EDIT: just red your message, I get it. Good for you and good choice. But please donā€™t let that grow in your head in any ways!

Day 235. Hit a meeting last night which I was avoiding them bc I was holding a resentment against one of the guys. I put my ego aside and just realized not everything can go my way. I have not been posting much bc I dont always want to complain, my mom was accusing me of relapsing the other day which made things worse for me. luckily rather then using it at as a exuse to relapse I just let her believe what she wants. I passed my piss test for my therapist so now she can send the stuff in for my license. Things are good, even when they are bad. Itā€™s still better then being in active addiction. Hope you all have a good day much love

So far so good Wcan. But I never was an early day drinker, in the morning it used to be pot smoking for me. Will see how this goes at night. Please donā€™t get any ideas from this. This is my thing and only mine.
@anon60334405 Youā€™re doing good Mike. Proud of you. Be proud yourself. Life is life and weā€™re living it sober which is much better.

Man, post here whenever you want to complain. Donā€™t fight alone, it can be a dangerous path you know itā€¦

And like you said, not everybody and everything (like in your aa group/ your mom) is going to think and be on the same mark as you are. It can, is and will be hard to face that truth, sober or not. And not using it as an excuse to relapse shows a lot on the work youā€™re doing. Not only not using it, but still going after it: going to aa, posting here anyways, doing your tests, lifting your weightā€¦ Maybe things arenā€™t all good, but seems to me you do good to yourself.
Hope you have a good day too,

Day 43 after my day of rest yesterday I woke up so fresh and motivated. Iā€™m still doing a couple of meetings each week but Iā€™m working so much at the moment Iā€™m coming home walking teddy having dinner with Millie and been watching a bit of tv ā€¦ Iā€™ve noticed in the past all I do is work and recovery then I end up feeling resentful for some reason so Iā€™m trying to get a balance this time around and itā€™s nice to do normal stuff in the evening and not over load my head with recovery. I still feel sadness over my break up but the more I been reading up on codependence I realising how toxic he was for me and how damaging being with him was for me . Iā€™m still confused about why I miss someone who is no good for me but I know heā€™s like a drug and someone I need to stay away from . I know Iā€™m gonna be ok and these feelings will pass in time . Iā€™m so grateful to have this safe place to open up and let my feelings out . Happy Friday beautiful people x

I love seeing people check in :slight_smile:

Been a strange couple of days, work was always a stressor/trigger for me, people pissing me off.
Yesterday was one of those days, bit today too but Iā€™ve just said fuck it, not going to worry about it (still plays on my mind a bit though)

Least itā€™s Friday :slight_smile:

Checking in at 28 days. By the end of this weekend I will officially hit a month. I remember reading all those 30-day challenges and thinking, sadly, that Iā€™d never be able to do that. Well, I will! Meanwhile after getting my wedding rings enlarged a few years ago, they are falling off my fingers. Any swelling I had is gone from my ankles and face. And suddenly at 57 I have laugh lines aka wrinkles. Oh well. I think this means my liver is working again so Iā€™ll take it.

Day 261. Life goes on. And Iā€™m slowly moving on too.
The situation with my ex girlfriend and our house is giving me a shit ton off stress everytime I think about it or something news pops up.
But I guess itā€™s not the end of the world.
I hope haha

Have a good sober friday!
