Checking in, day 11. It was a good day, no cravings since relapse, but I know, I have to be careful. I could finish my task and went for an evening walk with the kids to the hill where I usually run. They had flashlights and enjoyed it a lot. Now it’s tea- and movie-time.

I think that they are groupers, yes.
Then there are a couple of sharks… two, I think, but it’s hard to tell (for me, anyway).
Goodnight all.

I would pee myself near those sharks.

Me too! I love grumpy-looking animals.

Day something.
I’m alright.
A couple started arguing loudly one floor below me in my apartment building around midnight. Listened to it for a little while until she started shouting “help”. The police came and took the man and maybe her as well. They don’t have kids. Both alcoholics. So sad.
A good reminder for us to stay sober

Day 8. I stopped buying books years ago because I’d blow right through them, so I became all about the library and garage sales.
Now, I am going to buy any book I want (if I think I’d read it again). I read The Sober Diaries in a couple of days. I won’t read it again, but can gift it to someone who needs it.
Each of these cost less than a 12-pack, so I am ahead.

My routine is off as I’m still nursing a sore back and got some time off. Still clean and sober. Zoom meeting tonight. Talked with family and sober friends. Prayed and did some reading. My housemate bought me a swarma dinner.
Praying for you all. Have a fantastic evening.

Well I’m sober and had an argument today but at least I can remember what it’s about for a change and what I said.

Day 220 here. Still hanging in there. This road is one I chose to travel because destinations in sobriety are so much better

Damn.
What a tragic ending. Take comfort in the fact that neither of them has to go through life without the other. He was probably on the other side extending his hand and she was prepared to stay with her husband. “Till death due us part”. I’m so sorry Brookie, you guys are in ny thoughts.

Day 51. My uncle and cousin tested positive for COVID last week, and my mom was exposed to them both. She went into quarantine last Tuesday when she found out. On Friday she started feeling poorly, but thought it was just a slight head cold. Tonight she had to go to the doctor because she has a bad cough and tightness in her chest. The rapid test came back negative, but her doctor sent out another test to the lab. Mom should have the results in three days.
I live a thousand miles away, and I hate that she’s sick and I can’t be there to help her. I hate that we don’t know what’s happening. Honestly, this all just sucks. But I’m sober, and intend to stay that way, so I can deal with whatever is happening with a clear head.
@Brookiemonster618 I’m so sorry for you and your boyfriend’s tremendous loss. I admire you so much for staying so strong and sober under terrible circumstances.

Day 2 ~ Had a productive day with work. Took the dogs for a walk with their new harnesses and leashes and they fit/worked great. Have a bit of a headache tonight but it’ll pass. Didnt sleep so well last night. It was really light sleep with vivid dreams. Hopefully tonight will be better. I wish dreaming had a switch I could just turn OFF. Anyway, hope everyone had a great Monday and we’ll continue on our journey of sobriety; the best place to be!

Thanks, it’s words like yours that have got me here, keep on trucking my sober friend. Nothing is unattainable if you really really want and work for it.
Blessings and sobriety!

Putting my sober head on the pillow, putting day 8 to bed. I feel strong but not complacent. I have been hitting two or three meetings per day, reading quit lit, spending time here, and listening to podcasts. I haven’t really made time for work. 
I did take today off, just to chill with my kids and baby my back pain. Nighty night, fellow travelers.
