Today makes 41 weeks AF (287 days!) I’ve made it to the point where I have no idea what my day count is and have to look it up for check in. These milestones were so important at one point but seem less so now. It is a relief to no longer be counting the hours and days and just be sober in the moment. I know when I hit 1 year it will be a meaningful achievement, but the real goal is just to be sober TODAY. It is about stringing together the “todays” as a way of life. Take care of Today and the weeks (months, years) take care of themselves!

So happy to see this, I have been pretty quiet lately but had to comment.
You have been through a lot in such a short time and have pushed through it all!

That is a great book. Allen Carrs easy way to control alcohol was huge for me as well. Those books give us knowledge and when we apply that knowledge we have more power over ourselves. Nice work.

I’m really glad you got passed it, Dan. I know that feeling and it’s strong.

Thanks man. I wish I had gotten into more of that stuff in my early days of sobriety because it would’ve helped me out a lot but I was, and still am, very new to this stuff.
I was sad to read that you had a rough day yesterday but I’m glad you touched it out. Almost a year

Good morning everyone 
I’m starting day 2. I made it to 18 days and I gave into the cravings I was working so hard to fight. I’m disappointed in myself but I’m not going to beat myself up over it. Have a wonderful sober Tuesday.

Your welcome 
I’ve been on zoom but I’m usually asleep when it first starts as I was getting too tired staying awake all night 
That does sound like a nice friend to be around. I’m glad you have him.

- Perspective.
I have spent a lot of time here the last 2 months. Ms. Thirdmonkey will be a survivor story according to the doctors. However, watching people come and go, I have seen more tears, more sadness than I care to see. Nothing today, in my life, compares with what some of these people are going through.
Another sober day because if I think today is a bad day, I know there are others whose day is far worse.

Checking in at Day #53. Actually, didn’t feel so hot this morning. Fuzzy head, red eyes. Knew I could scratch alcohol off the list. Now hoping it’s not COVID! Wash your sober hands, everyone!

Yikes! Hope you feel better soon. Hubby and I were both head and body achy, feeling flushed last night, getting nervous, too! Stress and pushing too hard will manifest in a lot of different ways. Hang in there. Two more weeks till the big day!

I generally use a chiropractor for maintenance and when I do hurt my back. Not the kind that cracks your back. No way!! The Impulse or Activator method. It’s very low impact. I haven’t gone to him since Rona hit back in March. I’ve been afraid and my back has been pretty good the past year. “Knock on wood!” But it’s just starting to feel off. And like I’d benefit from a few adjustments. He said my L4 is pulling to the left 
. Whatever. So I’ll see him a bit in the coming weeks to keep things in alignment. And hopefully I won’t have a full blown episode where I end up in bed for a week. I think stress has a major role in my back issues as well. Actually I know stress plays a big roll in it.
Watched the Social Dilemma last night. It was wicked! Pretty scary shit. I was looking through my screen shots and saw that you were the one who recommended it. Along with @Chiron
Even wifey stayed awake for it all. We have to right the ship somehow soon. Maybe in the next couple of weeks.
Have you watched the documentary Active Measures? Check that one out. It’s about Putin and what he’s accomplished with his puppet over here. It’s another frightening one.
Just looked at my world clock to see what time it is in Melbourne. When you get up have a wonderful hangover free sober day. We’re starting to get pretty cold over here. Enjoy your spring. My favorite season.

I just mentioned the same crap on my gratitude list thinking at least I’m not hungover. But I feel like it but no headache. I bet it’s stress. It’s only gonna get worse in the next couple of weeks. Keep washing those hands and get some meditations in. I’m racking up frequent flier miles on that Breethe App 
. They even have a section on Election Stress.
