@Dejavu haha, mate. I was going to post something about just this sort of thing.
What was supposed to have been a great day in the hills turned into a night in the hills due to unforeseen circumstances.
What do we do ? We adapt, we improvise and we overcome.
So the night of day 752 found me up to my armpits in boggy water in the rain wind and dark with a 40lb pack on my back and a smile on my face.

Yay! Thatās great news Scott!! Iām praying that she never has to go back too. What a beautiful tree. Iām sure itās so freeing for you both as she put a pink ribbon on there and walked out for the last time.
Checking in on day 310
My schedule is still way off. That being said Iām focusing on the fact that I still pray and read when I get up and before bed. Talk to family and friendās. Check in here and with the treatment center. Go to 12 step meetings, in person when I can and zoom. All this has helped me more than I can put into words. Mental health and addiction counselling weekly for over a year. So grateful that, all that I get for free. I love being Canadianā¦now about this weather 
To everyone talking about the physical pain struggles, I absolutely hear you. I am level 42 and as mentioned by others it requires to try and be mindful even more but Iām a flawed human and struggle to be mindful all the time. Iām getting better at it and my back feels quite a bit better todayš Looking forward to getting to my home NA group tonight. Still searchingfor an A.A group this pandemic surely doesnāt help with that kind of search since most groups are closed. This too shall pass. Keep up the good work everyone. God bless you all.

So get it! I havenāt talked with my hubby either. We were out for dinner last night and he ordered beer - then just waited for me to do the same. (I didnt) I am on day 9. I think I donāt want the big disappointment/judgment thing from him if I tell him the extent of my issues. For now better left unsaid.

Day 14, Check in 2. What I want to do: Just drink and go to sleep. I am so damn tired. What I need to do: 10 hours of school work in 3 hours. Playing the tape through and it wants to reroute to a happier ending. It wouldnāt be the first time lack of sleep caused me to cave. That said, I sure the hell donāt want to ever do this part again. The ferris wheel turns the same circle, over and over and over.

Day 57. Made it through lunch with my drunk father without crying, yelling, or breaking down and having a drink. I maintained my composure and drank iced tea and was so relieved when I got in the car afterward that I was shaking. Itās a bit overwhelming to deal with my father while sober. I see so much of my drunk self in his behavior, and so mostly all I can do is use this as a reminder of what I donāt want to be. I also just wish I could show him how much less sad and frustrating his life could be in sobriety. I know that he would have to want sobriety for himself for it to work. Yet I think we all want the people we love to be happy and healthy and well.
Needless to say, my emotions are all over the place tonight. Iām proud to be heading to bed sober.

After a pink cloud time of āI feel great, I will be perfectā because of sobriety, had a crash down to earth with binge eating for a bit. Seem to be doing better now and happy to have a week of normal eating habits,

Hard to catch up on this thread this weekend!
Congrats people on this weekend, and on the day that count which is always today.
I realized 3 things today:
- even when I feel sick (I got nausea in the car today while working on computer) well even when I had that sickness feeling, it reminded me of when I was drinking to get by that nausea. And believe me or not, it gave me a craving
how sick is this? I certainly donāt want to go back to this place. That was my usual morningsā¦ - I realized I am not used to be for so long without any breaks in my head. I used to take breaks from the intensity in my head with blackouts and benders. I have to find better ways now. Because thereās not one blackout that will help me out with finding my path, nor will give me any real breaksā¦ it was always just some pushbacks of the reality.
- for me not having to have the need to take those kind of break (drinking), I have to learn to manage my energy during the days and weeks and monthsā¦ so I donāt feel that I have to drink all the stress away. I have to switch from sprinting all out, to steadily and intentionally choose my path for the long term benefits.
Which you all a good and sober week starting!
