Getting my kicks on day 66
Feeling much more on an even keel. Today is the day I teach consecutively so my day disappears. Looking forward to making some ratatoille (sp?) for dinner once I get home.

Day 300 something.
I returned to the forum due to struggling with self-sabotage. My life is/was going downhill rapidly. Yet today was surprisingly good. There was a lot of self-sabotage, since I chose to finish the show I was watching to make future cravings weaker(probably about 90% addict brain speaking). My netflix account is now deleted and Iāve been looking into my youtube settings too. A bad day for others, but a good day for me

I am glad u are back as I enjoy ur posts, but am always concerned that because of the nature of ur addiction too much time on here is bad for you. How difficult that what is helpful can also harm. Make sure u keep doing things irlš.

This break has reset my rank and my consecutive days. It has relieved a lot of pressure and Iām not feeling pressured to spend all my free time on here. The main reason I came back was because of my recent breakthroughs, not out of pressure, so, for now, Iām fine. Thank you for your concerns though

Happy Thursday, or whats left of it anyway. As I wind down for the night I reflect on the day. It was a good one. Another 24 hours sober in the book.
I ended the work day with a private free trial class for a couple grade school sisters. They had fun and the mom signed them up. As they left I heard them telling their mom āThis place is great and I really like himā. That is an awesome feeling to know I have a positive effect on people when I teach. After I got home I saw the mom left a great review for me online. I know that this is what Iām meant to do and I couldnāt do it 100% if I was still drinking.

Checking in at the end of day 272, still clean and sober. Rainy day here so I spent a good amount of time on the couch. Made sure to pray and read and do some chores. Got a little lonely today being home but thatās ok gotta keep learning to love my own company and that wonāt happen unless I do it.
Really wanted a cigarette today and instead I ate a cookie not sure if thatās the best habit to fall into. My perfectionist thinking still likes to creep in. The old adage I heard about if your going to do something do it right. I gotta remember it doesnāt have to be right, just try your best
Messaged with my Mom as Iām working on maintaining/fixing that relationship. Greatfully we message everyday now even something as simple as have great day can sometimes make all the difference for both of us, how can something so simple have been so hard for so many years. the booze and drugs really did a number on me and in turn all my relationships. thank God Iām cleaning up my act slowly and have the opportunity to make my future better and I wish the same for anyone who takes the time to read this.

Confession. Itās my fault. Remember the posts about some of us thinking AF meant āas fuckā instead of āalcohol freeā? And I admitted that I thought PMO was āPrime Ministerās Officeā, which (in my lame defense) it does mean here in 
?
Well, I confessed to Beth that in my early days on the forum, when she posted anything about ED, I thought āwhoa, erectile dysfunction and addiction? girlinterrupted? thereās just so, so much I donāt understandā¦ā 
@Dolse71 yes, for real. go ahead and tease me! I may be book smart, but Iām definitely not life smartā¦

Day 108.
Tired and ready for the weekend. This week may have taken it outta me, but it hasnāt taken my sobriety. Even better than a drink (read: several)? Going to bed at 9pm - like I will shortly, with tea and books and a snoring dog at my feet. It doesnāt really get much better than thatā¦ 
@Esme710 and @montasir Happy one week!
@Olivia 2 weeks is the stuff of happiness! I applaud your bike chain effort. Once when I tried to fix a flat (and other stuff), ball bearings went bouncing all over the place. It was kind of pretty. Like confetti. And the bike shop got some business!
@Sunny11 Happy 60 days!
@Hailstrom Happy 600 days!
@RosaCanDo Yep, letās bring on a winter just like that
Happy one more day to all of you.
Big love to all
