Day 159.
If I accept that Iām not a ānormieā, then my options are simple:
Embrace this sober life ā rewire the brain, rework old habits, reinvent things like holidays, ride out the times where cravings lurk or come storming right in, and wake up most days to more beauty ā in my life and all around me.
Or submit to the cravings. For what?
So, come on in, cravings ā stop by for a visit any time you like. But alas, Iāve cleared out your things and youāll have to find somewhere else to stay. Sober lays its head on your pillow, now. Happy trailsā¦!
Gānight, big love to all

- Coffee. Slept way too short. Did have a very nice night with my bestie and some great food though. She finally seems to see that Iām still a nice guy to hang with, even when sober. That took some time yes. Anyway, glad to be here, sober and clean, at 7 am and needing to get dressed and running out of the door to face a busy Sunday morning shift. Have a good day all. Clean and sober. Love from Amsterdam.

Yes! I couldnāt agree moreā¦! Enjoy Max and baking, sounds so good.
@cwak i had a lot of emotions the first 90 days - i think things i kept tamped down with alcohol were suddenly given free rein to express themselves. hang in there - water always finds it level and so will you. and keep reaching out!
@Truckinmonster21 400 days - amazing! So glad you are here - thank you for the example of you.
And letās all just keep at it - bit by bit. We can do it.

Day 763, day 43 diet coke.
I had a calm and intense day yesterday for my thinking. Nothing special happened though. Talked to my mom for some time. It was okay but later it clicked. We were talking about (what else) the Covid situation and I said that in some points it took pressure from me. And as I wrote some weeks ago I read in a book where they compared happiness now and decades ago, why are we not happier with all the possibilities and choices we can make. In 2020 I had less choices, still enough, and had to accept situations as they are. Once I am okay with that, I am satisfied.
Then she says yeah but you have a disadvantageā¦ You cannot go climbing as everything is closed. 
This runs in our family. Only negative interpretation. And when I say that it is not true. As if focus on negative things would make them better? This makes me angry, really. Like: cool, I am a nondrinker and some goof comes around the corner and says: yeah buuuuut. Thing is that it is family. Otherwise I could more easily say: I stay away. No. Good energy.
My arm is almost fully okay. I have muscle ache due to the kettlebell workout.
Think I have to restart interval fasting. I slept way better when I was not snacking at 10pm.
I can say that I am grateful facing life sober now. It sinks into my heart with every challenge I have had lately. What would it have been hungover?
We receive a little magazine every now and then from the company and they asked us to rate them on Kunuu. As a good employee I was pleased to do this. In a fair, polite way and sticking to my experiences. 
Wish everyone a peaceful and sober Sunday.

Morning all!
Had a looooong walk yesterday to observe the negotiations in my head my addict mind was trying to drag me in. So villainous I would almost be proud of it. 10km in it shifted, like a cloud. Thank god.
struggling with feeling less then others so checking in here is hard atm. Why the hell would anybody be interested in what I have to say.
This is a duality in me. I love to be silent and observe. But am always angry because people do not listen to what I have to bring into this world. My neighbour has issues with health. I felt it was no good and softly try to urge him to take actions. doctors do nothing during this pandemic. Now it does turn out to be bad news and I get sad and angry. why did he not listen to me? (while he does not have to). I do not want him to see my worries and my tearsā¦ I can not take care of him and let lose my co dependant mariaā¦
pfff I am so sensitive.
Now off to facilitate a silent dance on the beach. SILENTā¦ best discovery ever! probably last one this year. In a frosty white world. probably dressed differently than in picture

Because what you have to say Maria could possibly help me and others stay clean and sober one more day. Thank you for being you and reaching out. Do not be angry my friend, we are listening.

definitely, the more we know about what is going to happen and why then we can be prepared and say OK this is shit but its normal to feel like this, personally it took me years of relapses and learning something new every time and now I think Iāve been through every possible scenario but never say never bc if you want to make God laugh tell him your plans.
