Thanks so much for this, Mike. You’re right - that other post was a good prompt to look inward - any of us could be that guy. And yet, this is a safe place for us to show up as we are, on any given day. A call for compassion and self-compassion, I think…
And thanks for your congrats! And also @Mno, @Edmund, @Joy, @Conor689908, @marcusmaximus2000, @AllyP, @MagicMama, @Dan531, and @Clarity. I wouldn’t be here without’cha all – that’s for damn sure. Grateful. 
When I get to the top of my (paperwork) Mt. Everest, I’ll pound in a TS flag – and then I’ll bring you all with me on the big smile on my face when I hit my ski trails later…

I agree Mike. You all are my friends and it’s comforting to know we have each other’s backs. His post got me thinking too.

@Luckyredz huge congrats on 90 days!
@Lionfish 1000 days? Sorry, the calculator in my head can’t handle that many days yet! 
But seriously, wow. Congrats aplenty. That’s the stuff that inspires, right there…
@Thirdmonkey man, you are on a roll…! 3+ years sober, and then beard trimming, exercise, weight loss, no smoking… see above re: the stuff that inspires!
@I.cant.We.can One year. Well done. Big huge smile for you over here. (And getting the party bus ready. A lot of people to pick up on the way!)
Let’s go do another day, everyone! Each sober day is it’s own celebration.

That’s beautiful Mike. We’re together here. Even I, who feels like an outsider always, feel part of this. Took me quite some time to get there but that’s on me 100%. It’s how I am. And here we’re among ourselves and we can be who we are. You’re a shining example of being your best self friend.

159 days no alcohol.

I’ve been watching a British comedy on Netflix called Friday Night Dinner, I’ve just finished the latest season, it’s been good to watch something funny for a change.
I admittedly have binged on crisps today, but not beating myself up about it. After all, I am diagnosed with an eating disorder and still waiting for therapy, so as long as I’m making progress, which I am (I’ve lost 3 stone since October), then I’m going to focus on that.
I did my little walk even though I didn’t particularly feel like it, but I’m glad I did, I always am 
I’ve been looking forward to tonight’s TV offerings all week, I really love hearing and watching people sing, and tonight, there are two programs on one after the other, a total of 3 hours of performances

I’m still not happy with my sleeping now but at least it’s real sleep, not the coma like stupor I used to drink and smoke myself into in the past. Lots of dreams yes. We need to get used to that too. it’s actually normally to dream every night. And we dream about stuff that keep our minds busy. Not at all strange that you dream about wine and not at all a sign of weakness either. Instead I’d say you’re dealing with your problems, both on a conscious and an unconscious level. So good work Jo! Not advising you against losing weight but I am recommending you consider your priorities. 36 Days is great but still early in your sobriety. Keep working it lady. You’re doing great. Thanks for sharing here.

I’m not saying there’s nothing you can do, but mainly I think it’s just time. Things will change. And when they get better you won’t have all that regret and all the rest of it hanging over you. And next time they get bad you will know you can get through it. Something I think of, when I’m in the depths of despair, is the only way to know how things will turn out is to stick around and find out.
Keep on keeping on friend

Ah I loved Friday Night Dinners. Easy to watch and lots of laughs.
Our current Netflix selection is a bit heavy, would be good to add something funny into the mix.
