Things you accomplish because you are clean/soberā€¦ Assembling stuff :joy: previously I would of never had attempted to assemble this fan. I would of looked on line for a pre assembled fan and paid four times as muchā€¦ Today I successfully put together a fan straight from the box and I couldnā€™t be prouder of myself :trophy: sober life = productive life! :tada:

Day 44 checking in! Low key Sunday for me. I am really proud of my brother in law. He hit 1000 days alcohol free today. And my sister is a couple days ahead of him! Itā€™s inspiring that they both stopped drinking. We used to party together a lot, but my family is really turning more toward not drinking. We still have an awesome time together though! Even better without booze.

420 Days: Still taking on life one day at a time. Mindful of my emotions, keeping my ego small, doing my best to think of others before I think of myself, grateful for every sober day Iā€™ve had!

  1. Coffee and back to work. Yesterday I hurt my lower back getting into my cycling tights. So instead of having a ride I spent the rest of the day lying on the couch with Luna which is nice too but not what I had planned. Hate getting older. And it did give me a small craving, remembering how booze relaxes the muscles a bit but probably I was just wanting to get wasted.
    Anyway, my back doesnā€™t seem as bad as last time when this happened and Iā€™m good enough to work I feel. Sober and clean. Have as good a week as you all can friends.The pic is from last night. Love from Luna and me.

2nd check in todayā€¦ Iā€™m in my apartment this afternoon, blinds down, lights off, fan on, 3 cold showers already, its 39 degrees at 5pm and I can feel my blood boiling :joy: im so glad that Iā€™m clean because if I was not I would probably be in hospital from hyperventilation or some heat stroke evoked event :grimacing:ā€¦ On a brighter note, ATTENTION ALL WOMAN- sex and the city is returning!!! Not reruns, actually new series!!! 2021 you have provided :tada::stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye::heart: this is epic.

Oh man. That sucks Menno. Although it would have sounded better if you had said you hurt your back lifting your 100 pound or 45 K bicycle :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:. Itā€™s the darndest thing the way you can hurt your back though. I did it once picking up dog poop :persevere:. Lots of ice on that back when you can.
Funny thing. Iā€™m sitting here on an ice pack on my back before bed :persevere: kind of sore from taking down the Christmas tree. I hope you have a speedy recovery.
