Iā€™m pretty sure Iā€™ve posted this before but I think that a lot of us could use hearing this again, I know I could. Have a great night TS family! :sunglasses::metal:t2:

I do not long for simpler days, I pray for the wisdom and the strength of character needed to endure and press on through the trying times ahead. I will not fuel the tainted memories of my misfortune with wasted energy contemplating the ā€œwhat ifā€™sā€. Instead I will take from these failures the foresight and fiery fortitude necessary to ignite the passion and drive in all my future endeavors. Gone but not forgotten are the pains of our past. Foaming waves of regret pouring forth from a sea of disappointment. Sullen and salty, swells of sadness that curled and collapsed relentlessly upon the shores of our short yet beautiful existence. Yet to be appreciated are the brilliant and bright dawns of each new day. Unknown joys and unexpected happiness that eagerly await for us to embrace them with a renewed sense of love and faith.

Checking in and the end of day 331. It was one of those days that make the struggle worth it. It gets better people. Even during a pandamemic. Work the program as best you can and good things will happen. I ate good today, had nice conversations with family and friends. A fantastic rejuvenating NA meeting.
Got a random text from one of my exes just about an hour ago. Have to keep a cautious eye on that and stay focused on the important things. Its been a while(months i think) since I mentioned her on here.
Watching my football team kick some ass. I love these days where I feel like Iā€™m winning and it helps strengthen my resolve to continue moving forward. All of you here at TS have helped with that. I wantā€¦ no I need you guys and gals ā€¦you wonderful recovering alcohloics and addicts. Inspiring me very much from day one to year four.
Iā€™ve learned by focusing on making small positive changes one day at a time they can add up to make a world of difference for others and ourelves.

God bless you all. :v:&:heart:

Checking in with my day 11 in the books. Today was a huge victory!!! Im on the road for work and I have never been able to stay sober when Iā€™m alone. Iā€™m determined to make it though these next couple of weeks. I had all my focus on this first day and I did it. Iā€™m going to do this for myself. I have been drunk a thousand times so why not just go sober for one time. What is it going to hurt. Iā€™m excited for work tomorrow. Usually Iā€™m hung over when Iā€™m working on the road but not going to happen tomorrow. Huge victory!!!

Youā€™re doing awesome :sunglasses: my friend just like your Bills tonight. Surprised you checked in during the game. Donā€™t know much about the Bills, but always love Cole Beasley. Nice to see some other team come up for a change. Bills are so due.
Keep up the great work.

Thatā€™s an awesome accomplishment @FeelingBetter!! Congrats on 30 days!!

Thanks. Appreciate that too. Not a big fan of the Chiefs. But I sure like watching Patrick Mahomes. And that will be a fun game. Iā€™ve moved around so much I donā€™t have a team Iā€™m loyal to. Grew up with the Patriots in the 60ā€™s and early 70ā€™s. Bunch of losers :joy::grimacing: This year Iā€™m liking the Rams and Raiders. I always pick an AFC team and an NFC.

i started watching the bills around the mid 1980sā€¦ i enjoy watching premier athletes like mahomes no matter what team or sport but i tend to have favorite teams mainly close to home the toronto raptors, blue jays, maple leafs and even the Bills were almost toronto at one timešŸ˜Š love the edmonton oilers cause of gretzky and now mcdavid. was a big Phoenix suns fan cause of charles barkley and steve nash before the raptors were formed. ok now im going off on a sports tangent on a recovery page sry yā€™allā€¦favorite sport to watch is and has been basketball since 1990 so excited its back on. trying to not gamble on sports or cards now that Iā€™ve cut out all these other addictions Lol wish me luckšŸ˜‰
