Great to hear you had a positive experience at your support group and that things went smoothly with Prince at the vets!

Did you decide to go to the CA meeting in the end or not this week?

@anon60334405 Sounds like u are in the stability phase after the pink cloud. The good news is that means ur sobriety is right on track. I donā€™t think there is bad news, just meh news that it is no longer rainbows.

@marcusmaximus2000 Sounds like u are on the same page as Mike. Your words are very wise.

@siand donā€™t let good be the enemy of perfect
Brilliant!

@Thirdmonkey omg! But well done for staying strong!

@anon28001181 Like marriage, sobriety is easy when things are going well. The real mark of a good marriage or solid sobriety is how things are when things are going not so well.

@RosaCanDo So sad to read this, u are doing the best u can for him, I can hear ur love in ur words

@Squirt that sounds hard. Be kind to urself

@Sunny11 Congratulations!

@CapriciousCapricorn big hugs

Poor Chucho. Although I can feel the love oozing out of your post so I am sure he can feel it too.

Dogs are wonderful teachers, arenā€™t they? Thatā€™s a lovely way of looking at it.

Big awkward hugs heading your way :sparkling_heart:

Thank you :blush:

I did go to the CA meeting and it was amazing, I didnā€™t speak, I wanted to but couldnā€™t think of anything to say. Got myself a 90 day chip. Will be going back next week :pray:t2:

Just wanted to do a second check in. Itā€™s crazy what sobriety can bring, I know I talk about how I havenā€™t really seen my family or talked to them. My aunt, just called me up and had me come over, we talked and she had a gift for me with 100 dollars for my Christmas, it felt so weird I kind of didnā€™t know how to react, I kind of wanted to cry bc itā€™s the first time in idk how long Iā€™ve been thought of or received a present from her in idk how many years. I didnā€™t even care about the money, just that fact that I was thought of. It still feels like a dream or something, I wasnā€™t even really sure how to handle the situation I was kind of awkward and didnā€™t know how to talk really. I gave her a hug and thanked her, but kind of felt like I wasnā€™t grateful enough or something? But it really showed me sobriety doesnā€™t just do wonders for me, it does something for the whole family. Idk much love off to a meeting

Day 80. Lots of driving for work and rainy, cold, gray weather. I was happy to get home and snuggle with Max.

@RosaCanDo, Iā€™m sorry to hear about Chucho. Your whole family is in my prayers. Please take good care of you during this trying time.

@Briella, congratulations on three weeks! Iā€™m so happy for you!

@Joy, 500 days without a cigarette is amazing! Congratulations!!!

Wrapping up my day after a great workout tonight. Exercising is turning out to be a huge part of my sobriety journey. The endorphin hit after the workout is awesome and really puts me in a great mood. Itā€™s helping me get healthier. It helps me fight anxiety. Itā€™s something to do besides sit around and think about drinking. I feel like Iā€™ve accomplished something. Many good things all around. 24 days behind me.

Itā€™s Tuesday night in America and alcohol still sucks.
