another day in the books, not a bad one at all. Was sober all day today so I remember everything that happened today, yeah now that I think about it, it was actually an amazingly beautiful blessed sober day. I remember those days when I’d wake up , or come to, and not remember what had happened the night before, or I would have to think really hard about what happened before I fell out. I’m grateful that today was not like that. Thank you God for my life today. Good night TS

Checking in at 4 months sober. My anxiety levels are very high the last few weeks and the thought of escaping into the numbness of drinking has crossed my mind more than once but knowing that the escape would be short lived and result in nothing more than self loathing has helped me not to drink. Congratulations to everyone checking in.

438 Days. I’m tired of sister inlaws taking advantage. It’s not enough that I put a roof over their mother’s head, now I’m expected to help take care of her before & after surgery. This is coming from people that don’t work while I’m busting my ass daily. They know I have my hands full with my own daughter but don’t care as long as their needs are met. My husband never set boundaries with them and now I’m paying for it. I have a long way to go with resentments.

- Coffee. Late shift later. Found new small painting projects to do, to use some of of the leftover paint. I’m really beginning to like DIY. A new hobby might be born. Nice. It took and takes time and work, but good things are happening in my life. One day at a time. In the meantime Luna is demanding more food. OK. Have a good day all. Sober and clean. Love from Amsterdam.

Day 130 booze, day 43 pills
Been away for a week. Life got busy! Lockdown sobriety now feels easy enough. I’ve battled stress and anxiety and managed without alcohol or pills which has really boosted my confidence in realising I don’t need them to cope. I worry a little about post lockdown once life returns to “normal” and the usual temptations of trips away and nights out resume. I guess I just deal with that when it comes and be grateful that lockdown has given me an opportunity to get a good chunk of sobriety under my belt. Have a good day

It really does look like a pregnancy test😂. But probably a faux pas to pee on it. A faux pee.

Day 302, this is gonna sound crazy, but all the old stuff, the old resentments towards family, my mom, my dad, the people I have harmed. It’s gone, like before it would just pop in my head all the time every day, like if I even try to think about it my mind puts up a block, it won’t let me see it anymore. I seriously think the 4th and 5th step worked. I feel good and that fog that I had is gone now, working the 6th and 7th step every night and morning in my prayers. Last night’s meeting was good, in the big book there is a chapter called to wives. I read it once and said ahhh that doesn’t pertain to me, well last night we read it again I realized it’s exactly what I do need bc, I was blaming everyone my mother, my ex for all my actions, anytime I got mad or yelled or did something stupid I blamed them. It’s crazy to think of how much shit I put my family through. But it feels good that I no longer blame them or hold the resentments, I also don’t blame myself anymore, as it wasn’t me at that time. It was a very sick person and I’m not that person anymore. Much love everyone

Day 16 other than body health issues doing really well. Recovering addict. Alcohol and Crack but as we said when I was in rehab before my 8 year dark relapse, MORE. I took too many prescription drugs. If one pain pill good 2 would be better. Now I want MORE of what GOD has for me! I am going to Celebrate Recovery, AA and NA. I have a sponsor and am committed to a year long step study as well as working steps with my sponsor. It is a good day to be clean and sober. May we pray for the sick and suffering and be there for them.
