Today I had my first psychotherapy session (online) and first talk with my sponsor regarding the twelve steps program.

Today was a good day, for which Iā€™m grateful :pray::pray::pray:

GOD GRANT ME THE SERENITY TO ACCEPT THE PEOPLE, PLACES AND THINGS I CANNOT CHANGE. THE COURAGE TO CHANGE THE ONE I CAN, AND THE WISDOM TO KNOW THAT ITā€™S ME. Amen.

44 days. Wrapping up this one with a fire in the fireplace, The Mandalorian, and a TopoChico with lime. Itā€™s a good day.

Day 100. Back to work this morning, and it was just the most Monday of all the Mondays that have ever Mondayā€™ed. We had a new hire start and IT had set up none of his tech things. I felt terrible making him sit and wait around for someone in the head office set up his email, app logins, etc. Fortunately, he had a great sense of humor about the whole thing. I ended up staying late to prep for interviews tomorrow in another city. Thank god for the auto-feeder. At least Max stayed on his diet schedule.

I donā€™t know exactly what to think or say about hitting triple digits. Iā€™m happy that Iā€™m here. Iā€™m glad to be sober, but I do hope that I get to the point where it feels more natural like it used to once upon a time. Right now I feel like Iā€™m over explaining a lot of the time. And it still feels so fragile that I avoid a lot, actually most of the people and places I feel might trigger me. This is what it is to rebuild a life in sobriety. Thereā€™s reflection to do, assessments to be made about what I really want and need in my life. There are amends to be made, and trust to be rebuilt. I know itā€™s all possible, because I am doing it. But sometimes it all seems so damn exhausting, and I have to remind myself how much harder it was to wade through the emotional wreckage left in the wake of a blackout, how absolutely desolate I felt hungover in the morning. I definitely like this better. I suppose thatā€™s what it all boils down to. I prefer this difficult to the drunk difficult. I didnā€™t drink today, abs I donā€™t plan to drink tomorrow.

Thank each and every one of you for being here, for offering support, for showing me hundreds of different ways of going forward sober one day at a time.

@Tomek, youā€™re one of the very first people who reached out to me on TS. Congratulations on 60 days! I know itā€™s been so difficult, but Iā€™m so happy youā€™re here with me.

@DNS, Iā€™m glad that your mom and sister are doing alright. Iā€™m keeping them in my prayers.

@Lisa07, Iā€™m so sorry to hear that you lost your friend.

@RosaCanDo, Iā€™m sorry things are so difficult right now, but youā€™re doing an amazing job in terrible circumstances, and I just want you to know how inspiring that is for me.

@M-be-free49, every single thing youā€™ve posted recently resonates so deeply with me. Thank you for sharing.

@MrsOdh, youā€™re going through so much turmoil with Tweenie, but you are being such a good mom! Hang in there.

Woooo hooo!!! Felicidades and well done to you! I enjoy reading your posts and perspectives on things. Thanks for sharing your journey with us all, and thanks for the words of support. Youā€™re also working hard through some tough stuff and itā€™s always good to know we arenā€™t alone in the struggle. I love that statement: ā€œI prefer this difficult to the drunk difficult.ā€ Preach! Iā€™m going to add that to my mantra list. So happy for you!
