Good morning sober friends.
Today I will choose courage over comfort, because I know changes requires discomfort and because I know mood follows actions. So I won’t follow the part of me that want to find comfort into drinking. So I will take actions that will change this mood that I am in these last few days, starting by doing my work and learning new stuff.
I wish you all to find some peace in your heart today.

Checking in on day 185. I hope everyone is having a good week so far, not much out of the ordinary going on for me at the moment.
@RosaCanDo Congrats on 100 days!! I’m so proud of you!! Welcome to the triple digits club. You are incredibly strong for handling your pup’s illness while still maintaining your sobriety. As a lifelong dog parent I, unfortunately, know your pain.
Our two dogs are 5 and 7 and I have anxiety every day about how I will handle it when they pass (hopefully in a very long time). Losing my last dog was honestly harder than losing some family members. So stay strong and know that we are here with you and he is incredibly lucky to have you and your husband to take good care of him. Take comfort knowing that you have been (and are still) able to give him a good and comfortable life 
@anon60334405 That is awesome about your visit with your Aunt on so many levels, I feel like that was the boost you needed just at the right time to get excited about sobriety again. It really does change things, like you said.
@WCan Today I will choose courage over comfort as well. I love that! Thanks for the motivation 
@cwak That was one hell of a workout based on those numbers!! You’re killing it! Exercise and healthy eating have been huge in my recovery as well, for the exact reasons you mentioned.

Day 187 clean and sober today. I want to say thank you to all of you that have helped me through some dark times the last few days. Your support is priceless and I really appreciate you. Today is a new day with focusing on what I need to do with my life as far as healing and setting my intentions for this next phase of life. I felt embarrassed at first for the content I was dumping on the other thread but realized that it’s out of my control once I let it get ahold of me. The mind is so powerful and I had spent way to much time visiting that dark place that I got stuck. Thank you to all my friends on here that reached out and pulled me back towards the light. Sounds cheesy but I don’t know how else to explain it. I hope everyone has an amazing day today, love you guys!

I know you can get over that bump in your journey. Have a great day
When I know a bad day at work is coming, somehow this saying comforts me in some way “work is called work and not fun for a reason, if it was called fun what would we do in our spare time”

@RosaCanDo a massive well done for your days, and for staying sober despite this painful time

@Fireweed congrats on 800 days! 
128 days no alcohol
96 days no cocaine
4 days no cigarettes or binge-eating
I attended my first CA meeting last night, I really enjoyed it, there were some powerful shares and I liked the format, I picked up a 90 day keyring and I’ll be going back next week. I really wanted to speak, because the majority of the room were still suffering, but I couldn’t think of anything to say, I’m always this way in groups, I hope that may change 
I met up with my 2 people from my Tuesday support group for a walk today, we went to a nature reserve, fed the ducks, and walked around a lake, I’m paying for it with the foot pain of course, but it was nice to get out and meet them in person, as our group is on Zoom.
I’m going for a hair cut at 9am tomorrow and it might sound silly but I’m really excited about it 
I look so different when I have my hair cut and it never fails to make me feel better about myself

Checking in at 197.91. I tried waiting for 200 but this is close enough!
I feel somewhat frazzled or my mind is racing. Someone asked if I was ready for Christmas and I said I don’t really celebrate. She asked why and I told her; probably sorry she asked, lol. I do love the season of giving and everyone being nicer, but I think it’s way overrated as far as spending money and getting in debt over it. I’d feel better all around knowing that my son is truly doing good or if he tells me what I want to hear. If you send a prayer his way I’d appreciate any and all… 
I did enjoy it when my son was little; it’s just my childhood memories are of drunk, mad dad. My brother went missing around this time may years ago so I never really felt like it after that.
I always feel like the weird one out.
Sorry for this rant, I just needed to get it out and get my TS family hug…

day 16 and 3/4…I woke up at 6am naturally! I don’t feel tired or like I want to close all my blinds and crawl in my doona and make myself into a human burrito 
I awake and happy and my goal to reset my internal sleep clock/alarm is going to plan. I’m on schedule. Its Thursday so if all goes to plan , by Sunday night il be tucked in bed knackered by 9pm ready for natural 5am wake up 
… Just opened my windows and baby myna is still chirping/crying. I’ll go down and have a look at where it is on my way out for coffee…today’s a great day 
… Update/edit- baby myna is out and safe and OK! Its with its mum. Looks like this is now its home and I will get to watch nature really take its course everyday now. Its so beautiful hearing them sing first thing in the morning.

Checking in, day 41. It was a productive day, I worked a lot, also had a great time with kids playing cards. I feel ok but I’m not balanced, my mood is still quite fragile.
I still have issues with anger management, when I’m pissed off I sometimes just punch the table or the wall. I hate it because it really hurts and also I don’t want to loose control over my acts. I don’t know what to do to change it, it happens so quick, it comes out of nowhere. Afterwards I clam down like in 5 seconds and everything goes on as if nothing happened.

Checking in. Middle of my day. 25 behind me. Really focusing on getting my diet under control, but to be honest I’m having a much more difficult time eating properly than staying away from alcohol. Anyone else having a similar experience? What sucks about food is that you must continue to eat. Can’t just cut it out of my life. Ugh. Discouraged in this area, but happy to say I’m going so strong in my sobriety.
