- Not feeling physically well today- super fatigued, upset stomach and a tickle in the back of my throat. Taking it easy today
Can’t believe I’m at two weeks. That went by fast.

Day 99.
Phew. Work week is over. It’s been super busy (more than I expected in lockdown) so I’ve been feeling overwhelmed between that and some home stuff. But I’ll push through. Fortunate to be working and helping others. Getting little man ready for bed now. I look forward to Saturday morning even though I’m still up super early, but that’s ok, I can lounge in my jammies rather than rushing to get ready to go to the office. Got a sled for him (and one for me too) so that should be fun 
Have a great weekend

Day 739
This week i started to do a very early morning walk at around 7:30, when it is still dark and very cold these days for approx 50 minutes. It clears your head/ mind before work begins. This is the good Part of covid: no need to commute to the Office. If i ever have to go back i will miss these opportunities

Like the others have said, I’m so grateful for you on this forum - an example of the beauty of sobriety! And you’re so right. There’s nothing quite like recovery to show me all I have to be grateful for… 
Hey - isn’t it your real birthday soon? Can this whole thread meet in the lunchroom that day for a little cake party?

Ya it’s the day after Inauguration Day. What a great gift if we still have a country left.

Serenity prayer. And cake. Breathe. Forkful of cake. Inhale, chew, exhale, repeat.

Thanks Paul. I miss a lot on this thread too. Life has gotten fuller, which is a good thing.
Not a PB. The longest stretch was somewhere between 180-200 days about 4 years ago. I’m just gonna say that when day 200 rolls around that’ll be the longest stretch.

Yeah i relate, going through my phone i see a ton of meme 's i had that area alcohol related 
It’s hard to turn that off completely!
Hmm, long week with an intensive training course finally over. My brain is mush, i would probably have celebrated with booze by now. Before 45 days ago i couldn’t have even signed up for this course because my brain doesn’t seem to remember things very well when I’m drinking. Have a ton more studying to do, so reason to stay clean. Hubs went to friends to hang - i don’t want to be around them playing corn hole & drinking. Same tomorrow - his sister wants us to come up and hang out. Not sure how to navigate that. She commented back on Thanksgiving that my drinks didn’t have alcohol in them 
.
Oh well, I’m going to read, make tea & sleep and deal with tomorrow, tomorrow.
Have a great sober day all.

@Rockstar24777 (and @Piglet) Congratulations!
@AmyBeth Sounds like the whole family is benefiting from ur sobriety! Fab!
@nwags Hang on there! There are some lockdown threads u can share troubles.
@MagicMama I also love my kids to bits, and knew my drinking was hurting them, but I had to quit for me.
@SugarBear60 You are losing one of those shitty friends, who pretends to be ur friend, but actually just takes from u and undermines u. Quitting it will help u get a life full of real friends.
@jjcarson92 Woo hoo!

Nothing quite like being grateful. It really helps my whole mindset. I use an app called “Presently”. At the end of my list I also now include what I’m looking forward to tomorrow, this helps keep the positive momentum going. I am grateful to be 161 days AF and 148 days grateful. Tomorrow I’m looking forward to connecting with this amazing community some more.

Feeling a wee under the weather, but plugging along. I had therapy today, but just can’t seem to access a single damn feeling. I have a wall up, but it’s not intentional if that makes sense. When I drank I could reach into the shit show treasure box and feel all the things. But, always being blacked out, it was useless. Doc thinks I’m close though, I almost cried a few weeks ago
I’m not in any rush to cry over my past, so I’m happy to be patient and just continue to work with him. It’s honestly going to take a few years just to go through stuff, let alone work on it.
The important part is that I’m happy, content, and satisfied with my life right now. I love being sober, I love my job, I love my classes, I love my kids (this includes Littles), and I’m super obsessed with my apartment

This is awesome, Eric. It’s cool to see an intentional practice become an automatic habit.

Day 42 check in. It’s been a good week. It’s kind of weird bc I was back to work this week, but the majority of what I do I am in control of what needs to happen and when. I feel like I pushed myself to stay on track which is not always the easiest when you are your own boss. But I also took time for rest and non-work activity. I think I accomplished a lot. I will still do some work over the weekend, but mostly it will be restful. Glad to be going through each day without alcohol or weed.
