Day 129.
The last 5 days has been a cycle of making a plan and then watching things change… so much is out of my hands that all I can do is respond to the circumstances around me. At least I’m not reacting to everything by uncorking a bottle…
Found out tonight that the # of covid cases at Mom’s place is on the rise and not contained as they thought. Mom has a few symptoms and has been swabbed. And even if her test is negative, my visit isn’t advised anymore and I’m likely cancelling it all tomorrow. It’s the right thing to do.
Hopefully things settle down and I can go see her in the weeks ahead, but right now just have to take this one day at a time. No one knows how it will unfold. All we control is how we respond to things, I’m telling myself.
Still this feels pretty yucky…
Going to bed with my tea, grateful to be sober, grateful you are all here to lean on.
Big love.

- Got out of bed at 5:55 which I guess is appropriate as it’s my 55th birthday. Don’t have any specific plans for today. I never did since my parents passed. Although come to think of it that’s not entirely true because I always used to go to the bar and get plastered on November 6th. I guess I was trying to forget something but I forgot what I was actually trying to forget.
Anyway, I’m very happy I don’t do that no more. Life is much better sober and clean. It might be an idea to do something nice for myself today. I did already order 2 books on schema therapy that should arrive today that should be useful reference for the group therapy starting in two weeks. Will think of something. Maybe some retail therapy. Have a good day all. Clean and sober. Love from Amsterdam.

Checking in - Day 18. About to start working on the 4th step which is to make a searching and fearless moral inventory of myself. I’m sure this will evoke a lot of emotions and be a bit difficult but I am up to the task. Here’s to another 24 hrs sober

733 alcohol, 13 caffeine. Funny, I woke up too early for my job interview and could not get any sleep. Although I know that this doesn’t make me mooooore tired I lay in bed thinking about caffeine coffee of how it would be good and well justified to have one exceptionally today. But I know better than that. Tricky mind, thoughts. I sticked to decaf and am not tired.
I just finished this interview and it started that the position is no longer available but she was interested in me and wanted to talk.
So we talked for about half an hour. Me, her department, that at the moment she doesn’t have open positions.
I stated clearly what I don’t want to do and what I am interested in. Shortly now a split moment some voice that I know too well sets in doubts. Why did you say this or that, you should have been more like this or that. But you know what, ancient motherf*** destructive voice, inner part, that is not true. It is what it is. I no longer want to be or say what seems appropriate to get something or somewhere and in the end it leads to unhappiness. I will continue on my path, listening to my heart. There is my truth.
Namaste.
