I was gonna ask that @Thirdmonkey start a sober-pedi-selfie thread! 
Does Ms. Monkey know she goes by Ms. Monkey on here? 
Edit: just saw subsequent posts that continued the dialogue and teasing! thank you Olivia and @anon79808082!
And thank you ThirdMonkey for warming our hearts so much by sharing your love story - itās simply delightful - as are you and the beauty Ms.Monkey 
Day 119.
Thatās 17 weeks. If you told me this time last year that Iād be here today, Iād never believe you. Itās kookoo bananas what can change in a year. Itās not like the last 119 days have been a walk in the park, but Iād take 'em over any day with a glass in my handā¦
Change is slow, and definitely not linear, but itās little things - like realizing Iāve forgotten to think about having a drink. Iām not just visiting, Iām putting down roots here on the sober side of the fence. Glad I could join the neighbourhood 
Gānight all - letās do another day tomorrow. Big love.
@Clarity you are facing your grief with such courage - so proud of you.
@anon27760155 you are facing your life with courage - so proud of you!
@Misokatsu no offense taken, at least by me! canāt imagine you being anything but your kind, funny, supportive self. if you had a bad day, donāt be hard on yourself.
@Peace yer killinā it!
@Tomek seems like youāre showing your parents what it means to love unconditionally. they are lucky to have a son to lead them through this as you are. your courage too is inspiring.
1413 days today. Wasnāt feeling it in todayās IOP therpy group. One woman had to keep giving her $0.02 without anyone asking for it. But what are you gonna doā¦!
Mwahahaha!!!
Youād be surprised at what I know.
back then.Bahahaha too many things could kill you lol ā¦ You know what though, in Australia there have been a lot of shark attacks lately. Heaps more than normalā¦normally the ocean isnāt a concern, we grow up in it here from knee high as kids so nothing scares us here, but lately the sharks have been going crazy attacking surfers.
403 Days. I have a 3 month commitment as the chairperson at my womanās Monday night meeting. I would have never considered doing this a year ago but I think itās time I start giving back. Tonight was special. It was a celebration meeting and I gave a year coin to a very deserving lady. Sheās very quiet and it was nice to hear her speak about the past year. She brought us all to tears. The connections Iāve made here and AA are absolutely priceless. I wish I would have known how great sobriety can be years ago. Love to my awesome TS family. 
Hereās to a fantabulous sober day @Dragonflygirl82 & @Frank68, enjoy!
Blessings and sobriety!
Great numbers, congrats on the 300 days smober. A beautiful freedom from a stinky, unhealthy. killer habit. 
Blessings and sobriety!
I was wondering that very same thing!!! 
Great minds think alike, Emm @M-be-free49 
@Thirdmonkey
Reminds me of something that happened years agoā¦ I was hanging out with friends when one received a call from his girlfriend. He had set the Darth Vader theme as her ringtone 
I asked if the girlfriend knew about this and he blushed, looked sheepish and said nothing 
We almost died laughing
The story has a beautiful ending. They married not long afterwards and are still married with kid #1
Happy belated birthday Courtney. Congratulations that you were able to celebrate your special day embracing sobriety. A most precious gift. Much love and respect my friend.
Day 3 fasting and day 3 caffeine free, 723 day alcfree I think. Anyway I feel like being 80 or so. I have all supposed fasting symptoms, backpain, migrain-like headache. Iāll got to the gym doing a light course and into sauna.
I wish everyone a nice and sober Tuesday!
Day 8 pills, day 95 alcohol
Sleep remains tricky, tho itās partly due to the small people in the household and long standing issues with insomnia not just the absence of pills. However I do accept that pills were often a good cure for insomnia - tho the price was not being present for the kids, who I love so much and want to be here for.
Without numbing as a response to complicated situations I find I now need strategies and emotional coping mechanisms. I heard someone say yesterday that in sobriety it gets easier then harder then easier. I donāt know if thatās true but I have found that initially it was easier without the guilt or fatigue but now Iām having the adjust to difficult situations where drinking or pilling canāt be a crutch anymore.
Today Iām working on patience - being present in the moment and trying to note cues when Iām losing patience.
@Thirdmonkey hits it on the head ; āSobriety is far more than just ānot drinkingā
And @Mno good luck, you got this!
Merrrry Xmas to allll 
great news.
Love hearing your getting a sponsor, this is life changing and youāll wonder why you didnāt do it earlierā¦ proud of you and well done on your sober days 
Did this last night and will likely do this every day for the next month. Turns out once you start with one resentment they all flood out. Good luck and I pray for you.
