Day 35 and itâs New Yearâs Day! Many years I would only be sober on January 1st bc I was too hungover from the night before to drink again. Feels good to start 2021 fresh.

Day 97. The fireworks didnât keep Max awake, but I didnât fall asleep until nearly 3, when my neighbors finally ran out of fireworks. I got up this morning, took Max for a good walk, and then came back and baked the brioche I started yesterday. It turned out well. I also launched my blog. Anyone here whoâd like to follow along is more than welcome. Itâs breadnotbooze.com.
Anyway, onto the good stuff:
@Kaeo and @Hotic, congratulations on two years, sober twins!
Iâm so happy for you both!
@Clarity, I somehow missed your 160 check in. Congratulations! Wish I was on the beach doing yoga with you.
@Jdiaz, hurray for 40 days! 
@Tomek hang in there, my friend. I know things are tough right now, but youâre tougher.
@anon60334405 thank you for your share today. You said a lot of things I really needed to hear.
@RosaCanDo like your harassed toad, I also need to find a way to flow through situations and maintain some self protection. Thank you for your share.
@Joby donât beat yourself up. Youâre here with us and youâre sober now. You know you can do this because you have done this. Keep going.

I love the pic of you and Max in your blog @TSan . Iâll follow along but I canât cook/bake for the life of me. I caused 2 kitchen fires, one of which landed us living in a hotel for a year while rebuilding our house. Iâm only allowed in the kitchen to clean these days. 
Thankfully my husband is a good cook.

So super exciting! I love it. Thatâs huge! I will definitely follow along, but Iâm with @Lisa07 on the actual baking thing. (Except I havenât started any fires. Lisa, for real? Gak! 
)
Happy New Year to you and Max too!

Awwww thanks! I keep finding myself going âhe had so much going for him before I leftâ My older daughter said âall he had going for him was youâ. Like we like to say down south, bless his heart lol. Iâm ok, Iâm finally at a point where I can walk away and never look back if he doesnât need me. However, Iâll always consider him family, so if he needs me, Iâll be there. Within reason of course

I feel that we need to reward ourselves with a little something and for me its usually a pair of shoes nothing crazy cause then I feel like Iâm just switching addictionsâŚlol

Day 186.
This time last year, pre-TS, I was going to focus once again on getting moderation right! Sigh⌠It felt like deprivation.
This year, Iâm just gonna keep doing whatâs been working, what you have all been showing me we can do each day: build a life that simply has no room in it for the bottle or the corkscrew or the glass. Not because Iâm numbed out by other means, like keeping too busy, but because Iâm too engaged in the things that matter. Most of them good, but some of them hard, because hey â this is life.
This doesnât feel like deprivation. This feels like living, one good day at time.
Letâs do another one tomorrow. Gânight, dear sober pals.
