@anon60334405 Nice #s bro
199 days. Didn’t even make it to midnight. Crawled into bed around 11. Realized that bringing in the new year just isn’t the big hoopla it used to be. Part of me felt like I was missing out on something and the other part of me was just grateful this year is behind me. I have learned a lot about myself this past year. Digging deep and feeling the feelings hasn’t been easy but I’ve done it. I am beginning to love myself more each day and nobody or nothing can take that away from me. @M-be-free49 your reference to the rearview mirror is awesome. The shit behind me is getting smaller and smaller. I just need to do some scraping to see out my windshield better lol

Day 116: Got some contemplation going on in this old noggin. I look at my profile pic every time I come here and the zen toad brings me comfort. Some of you might remember the stoic little fella. I was removing him from my dog’s harassment and to a safe place and he was all limbs curled under and turned inward for protection. I know this is a survival response for the critter, but seeing that at the time made me think that I could learn a lesson in protecting myself by going more fluidly through experiences. Watching my tendency to react and to hold myself and just be in the moment. That toady was accepting that his fate was not in his power in that moment (in my imagination). Acceptance of things that “are” is what I have been working on. That dang serenity prayer is so spot on I want to be angry (joke) but I just shake my head at myself and see the wisdom. Would you look at that! Another lesson from zen toad friend. Thank you, I am grateful. Looking forward to continuing this sober journey this year, would like to return to proper journaling (though my musings and vent sessions here have been essential for me) and am really hopeful to make some strides in addressing my whole health this year, mental, physical, spiritual, etc. Love out to you, friends.

Day 40. I have been taking a break and doing a bit of a digital detox so I haven’t been on here in a while. I enjoyed a sober NYE even though others were drinking. My 1st sober new years eve in ages.
Hope everyone else is well. I am going to do some catching up here to see how everyone had been doing. You guys always inspire me to keep going.
@M-be-free49 thanks for checking I’ve been doing well! Hope all is well with you!

I made it to 5 months sober on 30th December and didn’t slip so much as throw myself into a night of drinking. I told myself it was because everyone else had been drinking solidly for a week but the truth is I just gave up on myself. So here I am back at day 2. Dissapointed in myself but just wanting to move on and get back on track. Sorry to everyone here that I did this and congratulations to everyone checking in.

That’s funny I was just going to say take a photo of your shoe collection but you beat me to it lol… 
definetly need another shoe rack lol… You know whats funny though, because you live in Hawaii , I’d imagine you walk around a lot of the time with no shoes on if you live near the beach ?
