- Coffee. The disadvantage of having 5 days off is having to return to work after. Which is now. Oh well. The free time was good. Life goes on. Glad I’m clean and sober. Have a good week all. Love from Amsterdam and Kendall County TX where I took one of my favourite pics a year ago today.

Still doing the thing that keeps me sober, A.A. I’m working with my sponsor doing step work everyday, going to 6 meetings a week, and being an active member in my home group. Doing these things help me to connect to that power greater then myself, God. I need help to work on my character defects I need help for so many things in my life today and not being afraid to admit that allows me to grow. Have a blessed sober night.

Well done buddy. Don’t let other people set the tone of your sobriety. You are there for you and let them be who they want to be.
Your doing great.
Thank you, @TSan , it really gives me strength.
I also follow your check ins, it’s so good to see how decisively and consciously are you collecting your sober days. Keep going!
@Rockstar24777 Thanks a lot, you give so much enthusiasm and encouragement to this forum, it always force me to move forward. Thanks, bud!

Checking in, day 36. Yesterday I talked to my mother via skype after a long time. I wanted to be there for her and clear things up. But she doesn’t accept me and told me so many hurtful things. She doesn’t do it straight forward but toxicly, in a very sneaky style. She is questioning everything I tell or feel.
So it was the last time I talked with her about my issue, I don’t allow her to hurt me.

Emotions going up and down. Alcohol cravings too. Let’s hope the rest of the week will be better.

Sometimes it’s good to let emotions out, it’s part of the heeling. Give it some time, it will be better. You’re doing great!

Thank you! I’ve decided to put all my love related feelings in a box, lock it up and never look at it again.
I have no idea how to get a proper real relationship. Plus I don’t know any women anymore so.

This is something you cannot force, but time will solve it. You’re working on your issues, keep doing this hard inner work, it will pay off for sure. Now you have to focus on yourself, your sobriety, your issues and it will bring the outer things. You’re a great guy, it will work.

I tend to do that, let things in the past be that, in the past and I tend to keep them there and not bring up old memories etc… It’s worked for me. Over time you think less and remember less so you ultimately don’t feel pain… As the old saying goes out of sight out of mind… I know many will disagree with my theory here but it’s worked for me lol… I rarely visit memories that pain Me and that’s OK with Me

I’m here, I’m alive and I’m sober.
Day 50
Seminar in about an hour, and today’s hopefully the day we’ll get to know more about what’s going to happen with that teen.
Husband is away all day to try and clear things up.
I’ve decided to stay in the background and quietly observe. There’s nothing I can do for now anyway.
Wishing y’all a good day and a wonderful week

Oh how I wish I could take the pain away. I promise it gets better. Hang in there. I’m living proof it gets better. I almost didn’t make it after I split with my husband, in the end I came out much stronger. I wish I could have skipped past the engulfing pain though, but I guess we need that to grow. Sending love.

It’s getting cold here in Charlotte, NC. It’s that strange time of year where it’s in the 40’s in the early morning hours and the 70’s during the day. Normally I start to panic around now, I get that seasonal depression. I hate the cold, I hate when the trees are naked, I REALLY hate the cold 
. However, something tells me I’ll be ok this winter. I just don’t know WTF to wear today 
Have a fantastic sober Monday everyone
