I thought I’d do a check in tonight,
at day 353.9.
My wife has just been drinking wine this week. No 5 o’clock cocktails. So that’s nice. But I don’t get to watch whatever I want to on the tele cuz she’s not asleep on the couch 
And there’s not as much room in the bed with her and all the cats and dogs.
So that’s a good thing.
I been spending what I feel is too much time on here @ TS. And I’m not really motivated to do much these days after my morning routine and walking the dogs and the exercising and lunch. I’m not depressed. And best of all I’m not drinking. So if I’m spending too much time on here during my Christmas Holidays sober, then fuck it!! This is where I’ll be. You guys are the backbone of my support. Shit. You’re my only support.
On a separate note I just read @Edmund has Covid. Sorry Big Ed I’m letting that cat out of the bag in case it ain’t already out there. I’m sure we will all be praying for ya. Or whatever y’all do.
God Bless you all through the rest of this year. It may be tough. So come on here , or find a meeting, or call a friend, or do something!! Take a hot shower 
before you pick up your DOC. It’s just one day at a time. Just like all the others.
Love you guys.

day322. Nosleep, couldn’t shut my mind off. But it was ok I feel good tho, not to tired. It kind of felt cool, like I’ve never been able to remember songs and random songs just kept popping in my head, I couldn’t stop singing zombie by the cranberries. And idk my mind was just bursting with thought. Which idk if it’s usually like that or not. Anyways have a good day

That’s a great realisation! For me knowing when to take a step back, set it down and just give myself a break has been hard. Not tipping into straight up avoidance.
I try and remind myself of a bit of advice I give regularly: it’s ok not to have all the answers all the time. Just got to make the best call we can with the information we have available. We keep on

- It’s my official day off and I’m feeling a little bit better. Going to do not much today. Some small chores, a little bit of homework for my therapy, that’s about it. Will be back to work tomorrow. Have a good week all. Clean and sober. Love from Amsterdam. Happy about the solstice BTW. Just 3 months till spring!

Checking in on day 27. I was awake naturally at 4a.m. as usual. I like my routine now and I like that it is becoming second nature. I’m going to work a little bit this morning and then finish up my shopping for my girls. I’m never done this many days before Christmas. I usually have to go out on Christmas Eve. Not this year!! I’m not blowing money on pills so I don’t have the financial stress on me the way I have before. My extra money went to gifts for the ones I love instead of pills that were slowly killing me. Getting sober for the holidays was the best decision I could have made. I hope everyone had a restful weekend. I’m ready for another sober week filled with Christmas festivities. Have a great day TS peeps!

Happy Winter Solstice, everyone! Once today is over, the shortest day (and longest night) is over as well and we can look forward to increasing daylight each day. Thinking about this reminds me of my early days in recovery where the days seemed short and dark. But every day as I worked my program and my self I saw that things got brighter and better. So Happy Winter Solstice, everyone. The future will be brighter if you work for it!!
