it’ll come back, you’ll be stronger than ever! I cut a nerve in my neck that took my my shoulder, bicep and tricep out. It took almost 2 full years to get the nerve firing right again but It came back tho it was really frustrating.
Yooooooop Jeff!!! That’s what’s up!! You’ve pushed through some tough times and Home Depot ain’t got shit on you!!!
Late night check in.
First time sober at the chalet.
Proud I made it through 2 family visits today.
Tomorrow will be all about playing with kids, lots of hot coffee and cutting trees. Perfect day.
Have a good weekend everyone,

They decided to get their own rides, which was super cool of them. Thank you for asking! While the drinkers played drinking kickball I babysat my friends puppy with my boss and her sister. They each only had one beer so it was good company all around 
I had to Google “pram”. I never heard this before and I couldn’t figure out what the heck you were talking about. 
I learn something everyday on this forum.

- Coffee. Work in a mo. These are special days as it’s my mum dying day today 7 years ago, and my dad’s dying day yesterday 6 years ago. Makes me rather reflective. Also, and not by coincidence, it’s 5 years ago today I decided to quit smoking everything smokeable. Best decision I ever made hands down. It set my life in motion after decades of stagnancy. Still so much to do and accomplish but very happy to be on that road. And glad I can share part of it with you all. Alone it’s too hard. Together we can do this. Have a good day all. Sober and clean. Love from Amsterdam.

Thanks, man, I will be watching not to slip into another addiction. Working out works for me, sports help a lot really.

Day 14: tomorrow morning I will cross the two-week line! However this afternoon will be tough, I will visit some friends. There won’t be a party, just a little bit of chat during afternoon hours, but still the first time meeting people sober. Watched some recovery vlog yesterday, it was quite helpful.

Day 263.
Sometimes i really miss drinking. It won’t make things easier I know. Just like old times. Lock myself up. Drink. And forget. Untill the morning after.
One day I feel fine. And the next i’m struggling with myself.
If I hear people talk about my situation or about the house or my ex my hair stand up straight and I want to run away from that conversation because I want to move on.
But I know I can’t completley until the house is no longer in our name.
Fuck I hate all of this…
i need you guys. Really bad.

Even typing it out knowing someone else is reading it helps.
I read it and yep can relate. I don’t have anything really going on in life though but yet sometimes I’ll probably worry about something that doesn’t need to be worried about at all, that’s both my anxiety and my addiction working together
I see people higher up than me at work going in to meetings and wonder are they talking about me, they aren’t but doesn’t stop me thinking they are.
Back to the apartment today for a few days, probably the hardest time for me as I’m there on my own in a town. In my folks place I’m a mile and a half even from the nearest village, which isn’t that isolated but I am lazy and don’t drive
Probably play a bit of PS4, watch a movie, maybe a documentary on alcoholism, strangely the latter helps!
Maybe see abou getting broadband in the apartment but seems like a waste when I’m only there a few days a week
Every day I check in I start to ramble on and on
No bad thing I suppose
Hope everyone one has a great Sunday or a great sleep, depen on the time where you are

Good morning! Checking in on what will be my ONE MONTH! Yesterday. I planned just to hike to a trailhead. Instead, I climbed to the summit on what was a glorious autumn morning. Never would have done that if I hadn’t been sober. Going on another hike with friends again. Ditto above. Thank God for this gift. But first, I’m going to finish making cinnamon rolls. Love to all. I could not have made it even this far without you.
