Last night I dreamed I was going to a crowded noisy party wearing a ridiculous dress, knowing hardly anyone, feeling awkward, and I was drinking. I woke up feeling very clear about what a huge part social awkwardness played in my drinking, especially during my many years as a student. Ugh, so glad not to be going to any such parties, and glad to be sober.

My teenager was talking yesterday about how “not fun” my partner is, and how I’m a little bit more fun, albeit not really fun. If fun means irresponsible, I’m fine with not being it any more.

Good morning everyone :star2:

Lost my sense of taste yesterday :face_with_hand_over_mouth::flushed: Not sure if you can catch the Rona more than once, but I’m not risking spreading the funk so I’ll be self quarantining for the next two weeks.

I was exposed last week but didn’t even think about it as I already had it back in April. I just found out on Monday that I was exposed.

Other than that, life is groovy. One of my brokers opened up to me that he’s trying to quit for January and hopefully longer. I had already suspected there was a problem there, but left it at that. He’s a great guy and has a safe place to talk about it.

I’m in class again starting today and will finish on April 22nd. Thoroughly enjoying it. And the class is virtual due to Covid, so if I have funk to spread it will stay safely in my humble abode :grin:

Day 25! Feeling strong and focused. Less emotional this time around because I’m aware and I know I will NOT be having a drink. Takes the guess work out.

Checking in. Day 3 sober. I’m exhausted, having so much trouble sleeping at night. Have been sleeping downstairs in the spare room which is obviously not making my husband happy :grin:, and I am still tossing and turning all night. Back to work today, my Dad is helping my kids with online schooling so I can go, wondering how many people will order takeout food today. Grateful to be sober, even if I am tired. Hope everyone has a great day!

Really great observations you made, Tom! They may be about yourself, but they likely apply to most if not all of us to some degree. I certainly relate! Glad to see you all the learnings you’re adding to your life experience - and that you were kind enough to share them with us!

Checking in, day 62. School has started and it has a really good effect on my mood. Today has been a great, lazy day. We had snowfall, I worked a little and then I was just chilling out, ordered Vietnamese, listen to Okean Elzi, my favourite Ukranian band and made a little figurine (just a bust) for the kids out of polimer clay. In the winter holiday we saw Around the world in 80 days in the puppet theater (online) and they really loved it.

Happy hump day sober family, checking in on day 206.

@anon60334405 That’s awesome that you’ve found another lifting partner, I’m so glad for you.

@jjcarson92 HUGE Congrats on your year!! I must have missed your 1 year post somewhere on here so I apologize for that. Awesome work :+1:

@Truckinmonster21 Feel better man, I had bronchitis a few years ago and remember how much of a pain it is.

@nwags Keep working through the no sleep issue, it gets better I promise. The first couple of weeks are the worst and then your body adjusts!

206 days. I’ve always vowed to try my best to not go to bed angry. I hardly slept last night as words were exchanged right before bed and I just stewed. Having a talk soon as I need to get this out of my head and off my chest. Hopefully the next 24 are better than this.

A mini check - in with 2 accomplishments today!!! Today will be my first double digits. 10 days! But more importantly :rofl: I was able to peel my halo without breaking it and I put the peel back together :nerd_face:. It’s gonna be a good day guys!

Well done on double digits! And I’m envious…I’ve always wanted to peel an orange or anything similar that way and haven’t managed to. It looks so neat!
