Checking in day 99
I am half way through the longest stretch of sobriety I ever had, 198 days. That was in 2018 and I had fallen on a December 15th. I’ve passed my mental barrier of that date, which is a birthday of one of my closest friend. This time around I have a much more peaceful and comprehensive approach to sobriety. I have accumulated a lot from past attempts, but now it is the active help and the active using of a toolbox that is keeping me sober. This community is in my top 5 tools for sobriety. I thank you all for that.
I wish you all a good sober evening

There is also a good one in Boston. I will screen shot it for you to see. I leave it on at night while I’m chilling in bed before sleep

Day 87. Super long day at work. Helped a coworker by going to a job site and unloading 3 pallets of roof ridge tiles. They are heavy! I will definitely feel this tomorrow. But I’m glad I was able to help. It would have taken my coworker several hours to do the job alone. Together, we were able to knock it out in a couple of hours.
@Tomek, my writing thus far has lacked a focus. I’ve just sort of posted about whatever has been on my mind. So this coming year, I’ve designed something I’m calling “Bread not Booze.” Since I am learning to bake, and I’m learning to be sober, I’m going to pick a new recipe each week and bake it! Then I will take a few pictures and write about the process and what I’ve learned about baking and what I’ve learned about sobriety. This week, though, I’ve realized that I’m terrible at taking photos, so I guess I’ll be learning three things: sobriety, baking, and photography!
@MrsOdh it sounds like things have been very chaotic for you recently. I’m sorry you’ve been having to deal with all of this, but I’m so, so proud of you for remaining sober throughout. Your strength is quite the inspiration for me.
I know we have so many people hitting milestones and having joyful things happening (babies, holidays, job interviews, and new starts). I know we also have a lot of people who are struggling (depression, holiday stress, cravings, relationship issues). I’m a little rattled tonight and having a very hard time concentrating, so I can’t really mention everyone that I would like to. But I’m proud of us all, because here we are, another day sober! Hopefully, I’ll have more time to spend here after my winter break from work begins on Thursday. Goodnight, y’all!

End of the day. 31 days behind me. Awful day, really. Decided to go for a long drive to clear my mind and listen to a podcast. In the past, these drives were liquor runs, so I think my wife was concerned. Today, it was legitimately just a drive. Briefly thought about alcohol, but grabbed a Diet Coke instead at a drive-thru. Rewriting the story … changing the habits.
It’s Tuesday night in America and alcohol still sucks.

Day 313~ Something is happening. I’m having an emotional road block or something. It’s like I wanna cry and get things out but I can’t. My overall mood is kinda sad 
and I’m not 
sure why. This is very strange for me… I can typically cry at the drop of a hat. Often after having one of those big cries I would feel so much better. Maybe I’ve gotten to a point I no longer need to have those breakdowns. This has got to be growth… another lesson on this sober journey of mine. Sorry I know that was just a lot of thinking out loud but it’s helping me.
Learning is something that is never ending. Each day of sobriety I learn a little something else about my true authentic self. It’s amazing really.
Keep kicking ass all. We are all in this fight together.
