Deep breaths Danni. You can do this. Will your mom be staying long? I recall how difficult it was the last time she came to visit you.
Road trip!!

Checking in with 22 days clean 
Today I woke early and spent a few hours cleaning before the viewing on my flat 
Then I showered, which is always an achievement, embarassingly 
So my flat, and me, are clean now, it feels nice 
I hope you’re all having good sober weekends

Yes, well, I can relate to that… that being said, I would like to get back to Canada to visit my mum and siblings, but this bloody virus is preventing that, still.
There’s nothing that the bottle would do to help you with your mum… just try to mellow out, and remember that it’s only a visit (short?).
Hi everyone, I hope that you are all well tonight.
So now I’m in Athens… I had been expecting a nice and normal airport hotel for the night, but my travel agent arranged for me to sleep in a 3-bedroom 2-bathroom flat ! It’s huge ! Considering that I’m going to be here for barely 13 hours, it seems like a bit of an overkill, but… what the hell, I’m here, it’s nice and clean and the internet works well.
So I seem to have got through my entire week in booze-loving Greece without having anything at all, I’m pretty pleased about that. I’m happy to be hitting 52 days… but I’m really looking forward to 90 ! After that, my aim will be to beat my “personal best” of 125 days. I plan not to F*** it up before then, that’s for sure. A sober October will take me to just over 80 days, so 90 won’t be far off.
In any event, I hope that you are all having a safe and sober weekend. Goodnight all.

Is there a jacuzzi tub??
Night…
Checking in. Still sick. Tomorrow night I will complete the third week, but somehow I don’t feel anything about it.
Talked to my friend (crush) tonight. It was good, but it’s always worse afterwards. I was thinking about suspending the communication with her, but it wouldn’t be fair, because she also counts on me, and I also need her as a friend. Having these feelings I feel myself a cheater, although I haven’t done anything. I hate it so much.

I’ve learned that Recovery is not a destination it’s a lifelong journey. Addiction is a disease. I’ve heard of people with a lot of years sober/clean relapsing. It’s honestly scary. But that’s why they say one day at a time. I’m super proud of all of us! Thank you sober twin!! You’re going places too!

For what it’s worth it does get easier being sober when your spouse drinks. It is for me anyway. Maybe it’s the 37 plus years of being marred🤪
We never argue anymore. Almost. So I guess that helps. I so much wanted her to join me in this. We were drinking buddies for ever. I talk to her more now about my sobriety but try not to too much. It took me awhile because I didn’t want to bother her with it since she still drinks. I’m learning to be grateful for the time I have with her sober. But truthfully, it would be nice if she took just one day off. I can’t go there with her. I’ve tried. I can only be in control and responsible for my one day at a time. But it does get easier. Maybe not the first couple of months. But it is now.

I love your enthusiasm. It makes me think of when Jesus said,
“I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoever welcomes a little child like this in my name welcomes me.” ~ Matthew 18:2-5,
You’re that child!! You are going to go so far kicking the addiction devils ass!!
(I of course am not calling you a child. This is meant as a 
compliment on the way you seem to be working your program.) which is exactly how Jesus found me again in my early 40’s. “Like A Child” I was actually seeing Jesus like a child and it was the coolest thing ever.

I keep forgetting you live in Colorado. So beautiful. And I can’t remember… (I can’t remember shit to tell you the truth:crazy_face:) if I told ya we just moved out of Durango November 2018. We haven’t been in Flagstaff that long. We are trying to get closer to where our daughter lives in Cali. I want to move to Cali, but truthfully, with all the fires and shit I’m starting to have second thoughts. I miss the beauty of Durango so much. But it was such a small town. God was just showing off when he made Colorado

I love these verses in Matthew! I take this as such an amazing compliment! It’s humility. To humble yourself as a child. And as a child of God! Thank you so much! I know if I do not work this program my addiction can and will kill me. My relationship growing closer to God has given me Faith and peace, my recovery gives me tools to use to stay clean and work on my past issues and character defects. Thank you so much!

I didn’t know any of that! Durango IS truly beautiful though I haven’t been in years. One of my favorite towns is Ouray. This is the first summer I haven’t been down there in several years. seriously the bluest lakes I’ve ever seen. Is flagstaff close to surprise? My in-laws have a house down there but I haven’t been.
