You won’t find the conflict in a place, where You are left alone with Yourself, as long as You aren’t in inner conflict with Yourself
Strive to have inner peace within

That is probably one of the most awesome things I heard
Thank You, I attribute such great insights to the power of my higher power 
After all it’s an all knowing source of wisdom

Checking in, day 59. I’m a bit better, but still feeling down. I could work a bit and read a lot. I really enjoy reading Sapiens, it changes one’s perspective big time. Can’t wait to order the next part, Homo Deus.
I also started to listen to music in the evenings instead of binge watching movies. I started with symphonic pieces, they sound just like soundtracks, I listen to them in the dark, with closed eyes - it’s like a movie without picture. Much more enjoyable and relaxing for me now, than staring at the monitor.
Sorry to hear that Christopher. Addiction is so tragic and it takes good people away from us. I have lost people close to me due to relapses directly or indirectly (eg suicide). I wish you all the success at beating this in your life still to be lived. You know people on this forum are here for you and understand.
Checking in on day 40. Feeling wore out from the holidays. I’ve also been working more to try to save for a car. I also have a little pesky probation fee to pay off which will finally be done Tuesday. That will be a huge wait lifted. Next I have to pay a ticket from forever ago so I can get my license back. I’m noticing the longer I’m sober the more I am dealing with things. I like it, I like sober me. Have a great sober Sunday everyone. 
Congratulations Eric and thanks for all your contributions here. You have without doubt helped a lot of people along the way. 
@Clarity I’m glad the trip went well Sarah, it sounds like your sobriety grew by leaps and bounds in Hawaii!
@Charlie_C congrats on 50 days!
@anon60334405 congrats on 11 months man.
Yes. I think a key thing you said here that resonates with me is not becoming complacent in sobriety. Coming on here for the daily check in has been super helpful this time around. No matter where I’m at on a particular day, I take at least a couple minutes to acknowledge my sobriety and see where I’m at. Definitely helps keep me on track.
One week behind me. Not enjoying the dry drunk and insomnia, but 2 more days until double digits.
Hey everyone, checking in on day 203. I had a busy last few days so I’ve totally fallen behind with everyone’s posts here and I would have to spend an unhealthy amount of time to catch up on everything unfortunately.
So I hope everyone is doing well and having a good weekend 
Checking in. Rainy grey day. I’m trying to remind myself how great it is never to have a hangover. The memory of that bad feeling is fading but it’s important to remember the negatives of drinking so I don’t start thinking it’s a good idea.
Thank you I appreciate it, I made some great friends in this forum. I was sitting with a good friend last night talking, I of course bitched about COVID and the restrictions how it causes isolation with a lonely disease yet he spun it in such a way i couldn’t bargain out of.
Zoom and the internet are alot more beautiful than we think, logically speaking you meet people and if they gain your interest romantically or friendship wise, your forced to actually get to know them with a barrier in place. For addicts that’s hard we want instant gratification, and when it turns into a failure we isolate ourselves and fall into the trap. People are really getting yo know one another so much more by having a barrier in place, and building stronger relationships because of it,
Checking in sober, Day 362. Starting off my Sunday the right way: having a home-cooked brunch of cob-smoked bacon, eggs and multi-grain toast with a side of fruit, sipping delicious coffee from my French press, and reading the check-ins on TS! Later I plan to go on a hike in the woods, then on Skype to chat with my kids. Wishing everyone a great day!!!
Congrats to @Bears515054 on your 1st week!!! It is difficult at first, but the insomnia will pass and there are better days ahead! Keep working the program and the healing will come - and we’re here for you!
Congrats on achieving 50 Days, @Charlie_C!!! Enjoy the mini-vacation this week! And congrats to you too, @Briella on rockin’ it for 40 days - gotta love those nice round numbers!
Big congrats to @Dazercat on accomplishing 
year sober!!! I know I wished you well on the 2021 Roll Call thread but it is worth repeating and shouting from the rooftops 
Omg J - the way I read that first it made it sound like you were calling your wife a fathead 
Keep it up, your days are strong and your positivity is inspiring.
On my way bowling today in a couple hours maybe 4 games thinking of taking the Harley out and warming her up. Update on son we ad covid brought him juice and soup to his house he says he feels great. Thanks for all the prayers sober day 22 I’m staying busy working on the house chores but today I’m bowling and some stretching.
What great insight! It’s a little like long distance relationships. I moved far away from my family and then ten years later moved far away from my network of friends and former colleagues. There were pros and cons to both, and I allowed myself to get stuck in isolation too often, but when I was willing to put the work into maintaining a friendship or connection, and others responded as well, it ALWAYS got stronger. And yes, you get to know people on a different level. Thanks for sharing this!
