Rosa the bending to the toilet… I never knew so many muscles were used… I’m sat on the sofa debating how I’m gonna pitch up a tent and be at inner peace in a forest 
… I’m sure it is worth it but this weeble is not happy right now!

Been there…the sudden realization and an almost free fall to land on the toilet! “But it’s a good burn,” fuck that noise, ha ha ha! I guess we should have known self improvement is painful! Good luck with your couch camping! You might not make it to the forest at this rate!

Checking in at Day #49! Finally, rain. Great for revising the ms due 10/30. For now, coffee, knitting in bed and a cat. Let myself sleep in one extra hour knowing I need the rest, not that I’m hungover. That felt so much like a well-deserved luxury, I could have been at a European spa. Another unexpected gift of sobriety - cheap happy fulfillment.

Happy Friday! There was a sentence in my morning quiet time today that I wanted to share. It was “I dont believe in miracles, I rely on them”. That is awesome. They are all around us. Each one if us is a miracle. The fact that we are here beating the odds and being who we should be.
Have a great day my friends!

A weekend get-away with friends in Lappish countryside. You can see Kumputunturi mountain in the background (elevation 581 metres from sea level). No, were not going to hike it, just admire it

Thanks for confirming that I’m not losing my mind. lol
As I was responding to your post, I’m thinking “I feel like I already congratulated Dutchie on 10 months, oh maybe it was 9, no I really think it was 10”. Haha

Day 39: I’m not a religious person, but I always liked the line, “To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven.” In fact, it was The Byrds who taught it to me, 
“To every thing…turn, turn, turn” This weekend I’ll be breaking down my potted garden for the season. This time next year I hope to be in my own home preparing my in-ground and raised bed garden for the winter, or at least be well on my way to cultivating a plot. With sobriety, I can do so much that has only been a dream. With continued hard work and planning, the season of renting will end (going on 20 years now), and a new season will begin. Sober dreams on a chilly Friday morning.

Day 10 sober. After quasi constant relapses this time is like breathing to me. I am grateful. I have done some hard work but I know I am not sober because I am powerful I am very conscious of my powerlessness

Checking in on day 124. I had an insanely busy day at work yesterday and wasn’t able to check in here nearly as much as I wanted too. It was just another reminder of why I’m glad to be sober and more present.
I hope everyone had a wonder day yesterday and has a great Friday!

I really love that space! It makes me want to build a little area like that for myself. For now I just sit on the sofa on my phone which doesn’t seem as peaceful lol, but it works for now.

Day 11.5 for me. My husband has been traveling and comes home today. He noticed I wasn’t drinking when he left on his trip, but we didn’t talk about it. Today I will talk to him about me being sober and wanting to stay sober. I am feeling anxious about the talk because he doesn’t think I have a drinking problem. I am staying strong though.

Find your calm, Sophia. You may be the only one in the room with a rational, calm voice. 
It’s a rough place when you struggle to get a few days together but trust me never give up trying bc it will come, you’ve seen the ups and downs of many of us so you know it can be done.I never thought I would ever feel how I do today and we learn one to many hard lessons in the end so no going back only forward.

I know, and It’s definitely unraveling in a path I couldn’t even imagine. I’m probably going to make another update about it before this day is over. The card never told me wrong before though.
