Checking in daily to maintain focus #19

Checking in on day 12. I have emotional ups and downs, but it’s not that extreme as before, it’s much more balanced. Weekend with a bit of work and with family is ahead of me, I hope I will have enough patience…

I’ve fallen off the wagon a few times and at other times I’ve been hanging off the back of the wagon with my arse dragging along the ground but when I’ve found the strength, like you, to pull myself back on it I’ve got a renewed sense of determination. I hope you do too. All the best, mate, :pray:

Ahhhh, :relieved: that feeling of opening Talking Sober at the end of the day of work instead of a bottle of beer :relieved:

So grateful to had went swimming with my girl and now working on some side-projects that I’ve been neglecting while drinking, instead of planning a bender.
Drinking a nice and hot decaf with a good vibe.
Which everyone an happy Friday evening!

Almost bedtime here as I’m working early shifts this weekend. Not craving wine or any other drug. Just hoping for a good night’s sleep . Clean and sober. Thanks for being here. Have a good weekend friend and friends!

Hi all, just a quick note to say goodnight. I have to get up kind of early and get moving, as I have to take a bus and then a train to get to the airport for my first flight to Athens, then another short flight to a little island and then (on Sunday) a short ferry ride to the island where I’m actually going !!
It’s going to be a bit of a hike to get there, but I’m hoping that it will be worth it, especially for the diving. At this time tomorrow night, I’ll be at 45 days… halfway to 90.
Goodnight all, I hope that everyone is having a happy and sober Friday night.

303 Days
Today was a good day. I worked on making my checklist for self-improvement without criticising myself.
Turned out really good. Had to think out multiple formulas and code’s to make it really neat in excel. Accidentally ditched my last hour. I thought there were 3 hours in between classes, I was actually free in 3 hours. Luckily I was sitting in the “special needs” room, and as I was doing homework whilst ditching, it was no problemo. After school, I discovered my brother had come home for a couple of days. We had a visitor this afternoon who was kinda awkward and mumbling. Then work. Had a crapload of cargo on an aisle, on which I always work slow. Had to cycle home in the dark. Not my favourite moment to cycle. When I got home there was a potential caretaker for my brother. Since my brother will move in with us again, I’ll have to like the guy too.
Great guy, good sense of humour, lots of knowledge, showing real proper interest in a conversation and engaging. I’m okay with him being my brother’s caretaker.
Our bathroom light was broken for a while, but now it’s finally fixed…We have no water now though. This house is a real piece of garbage, but I’m happy to at least have a house and I won’t let it ruin my mood
