15 days. Today for some reason my problems seemed solvable. I guess my mind is hitting on all cylinders again.

Yeah, as he got bigger he started scrapping with the other cats nearby, he probably went off to find his own territory.

Day 298~ I was feeling a little bad earlier like I was being left out or didnāt fit in ( Kinda a long story)ā¦but then saw this meme below and thought hmmm 
well shit thatās true! Leave it to Rudolph. 
Anyways joking aside Iām always gonna be a giver and Iām coming to terms with the fact thatās not gonna change and some people, well some people are just assholes and suck. Thatās all. I can either choose to dwell on it and really let it hurt and bother me or just keep being me and just know that some people donāt deserve my kindness and heart and move on. So thatās what Iām gonna do. Iām a sensitive soul, I always have been. Iām learning to except thatās who and how and I am and thereās nothing wrong with that; the only time something is wrong with that is when I allow the hurt from others actions control my emotions. Iām stronger than that and wonāt allow the negativity in my life anymore. Being sober I literally discover and learn something new about myself each day. Itās truly a blessing and a gift Iām so thankful for. Sobriety is that one thing that I just know deep in my heart that is meant for me. Iām so grateful to MYSELF for making the change. Anyone struggling or new to the sober journey; just know YOU are worth, YOU can do this. ODAAT.

Day 3. I have been addicted to alcohol and weed for a long time. Tried to give it up several times but somehow it persisted. I tried to give up alcohol with the help of weed but after a few days or weeks things went back to the way they were. I have to give up both. So I am doing it cold knuckle. One good thing that came out of this is that my wife really took care of me. She took me to a doctor and he prescribed me some medicines. I feel much better after the meds. Before the meds I was feeling horrible.

Day 814 
Good morning! Seens like my mornings start earlier every day. Today at 5 
without my alarmclock!
Still remember my morning in my drinking daysā¦
Couldnāt get out of bed and sometimes I called in sick because of my hangover. Bad days, bad memories.
My sober mornings are a great gift of being sober! And my new ink too! 
With my saved alcohol money I can tread myself on new ink. I have my 5th tattoo session for my full sleeve tattoo today. It costs loads of money, but I can afford it! 
Letās make this day a good day, letās make it a sober one. #gratefull

- Coffee. Day off. My place is more or less done for now. Sunrise looked very inviting. And even though itās clouding over a bit I feel itās high time for a little hike. Sober and clean. Have a good day all. Love from Amsterdam.
@SoberWalker exactly the same here Claudia! Except for the ink that is Love yours though.

Checking in, day 33. Yesterday I still felt depressed I was sick, had fever, so I thought, this is the perfect time to tell my best friend, that I have a crush on her. Yes, Iām THAT stupid.
We were chatting and she told me about other guys so I stopped her and told her that I feel more towards her than I should as her friend, that Iām really sorry and had no other intention than forgetting her (romantic-wise). But at the moment itās hurtful for me to read her stories about others. She handled it very well, our friendship is the most important for both of us, so now we will keep distance for a while while still communicating occasionally, and later we will just catch up, where we left off.
I guess we got closer to each other than ever and for me personally itās a great feeling to put this burden off my shoulders, that I donāt have this secret any more. I felt really bad as a friend and as a spouse to have this emotion. Now that I told it, it will be easier to let it go.
I had to close this chapter so that I can work on moving on, focusing my real life and present days.

Yes, I will miss her so much as a friend as well. But Iāve tried everything else, because I didnāt want to endanger our relationship, but that didnāt work out, so I had no other option left I guess.
But Iām really glad, that sheās not mad at me, we could talk about it as real friends and it didnāt distance us.
