  1. Great hangover and kid-free day with the hubby. Slept in, had an awesome leg workout, did some window shopping, ate healthy AND indulged in a lot of sweets :chocolate_bar: today. In the past- week three has always been the hardest for me, but Iā€™m taking it slow and easy this week. I had a strong desire to drink right before bed last night and even vented to my husband, who doesnā€™t personally understand alcohol addiction. I was happy to be able to share/be transparent with whatā€™s going on inside- even though his response wasnā€™t ideal. Being that this isnā€™t my first rodeo and with others involved it didnā€™t upset me. In a way Iā€™m glad heā€™s never had to personally understand. Hope you all had an awesome day :slight_smile:

Thank you :heart:

There is something about having the chaos outside that helps to regulate the chaos inside but itā€™s a tricky balance. Front of house is crazy, I donā€™t know if I could ever do it. All the chaos and coordination, PLUS people skills. And youā€™re a manager too! You have my respect.

I know how you feel about the bars, I do miss that chaos too, I love to dance. It be nice to have that without the drugs and booze for sure (and without a certain global pandemic complicating things lol).

Itā€™s never to late to change your track. I understand it may be more complicated, but if want that change check out your options it might be more feasible then you think.Youā€™re worth it :blush:

See you around :+1::heart:

Iā€™m already retired. I did my time. Itā€™s nice meeting another restaurant pro on line. I hated it when a cook called in sick. But to tell you the truth I kind of enjoyed filling in on the line and just finding another server. I could always find a server. Cook? Not so much. Every once and awhile filling in for the dish washer was like meditation :laughing:. After awhile, I spent 15 years in the same place. I felt like I was on stage. You know. Where every one knows your name. It was a show!!

I pray for your success in sobriety while you work a very demanding job. Keep checking in when you can. This is a great place to get support. You are certainly worth it too.
And Iā€™ll be around. With Covid I got no where to go :grimacing:

Checking in on a Saturday night, day 43! Iā€™m getting close to the longest Iā€™ve gone. Over the summer I made it to 46 and then gave in to some vacation drinks and reset. Since then the longest Iā€™ve gone is a month (until now). Iā€™m both proud of abstaining and feeling strength for where Iā€™m at. Iā€™ve been able to pull from my past experiences of relapsing to not do it this time. Someone on here once said something to me along the lines of not letting a relapse be a waste, and I think Iā€™m starting to understand that now. Right now Iā€™m just snuggled up with my dog and a book, which is a pretty great Saturday night. Hope everyone is having a good weekend.

Day 194.
A good day, and Iā€™m tucking in happy-tired, warm, and well-fed.

Weā€™re human, weā€™re not perfect, and I truly believe that most of the time, most of us are just doing the best we know how as we strike out along this path of sobriety. Support is huge. What we share here, what bring here from elsewhere, what we take away.
I know my todays are better because of you and this place, and for that I am grateful.

Gā€™night all. Letā€™s fumble or sashay our way through another sober day tomorrow. :orange_heart:

@Salty it was another day of milestone madness around here. Not sure I sent huge congrats your way! I send them with a huge big hug to you. Keep us posted as you can. :heart:

Some days I just make the best out of my insomnia and go out in nature.
HA-THA; the sun and the moon.
Always there together even on the moments we focus on only one.

just sayingā€¦
in case we might get lost in words of polarisation
or think the light is separate from the dark.
or we are separate from the other

We are all in this together, walking each other home.

Tired but sober, off to yoga.
Have a good 24 :heart:
