Someone asked me the other day why I counted the days. I told her each day sober was a celebration! 105 days down!

I want to leave this world in a better place than when I arrived. I want to leave my mark, not a stain. I want to live without regret. I want to experience everything; taste all the food, listen to all the music, meet all the people, hear all their stories. Most of all, when its time for me to go, I want to look back and say, I’m done, nothing else else to do.

Sounds simple enough 
My list is pretty similar and I am working on finding acceptance for the idea that they are probably not the kind of things that ever really get ‘done’. But, if I can find a way to enjoy the journey and not worry too much about the outcome, it’s probably a pretty good set of aspirations to end up with a life well lived.

I had those same thoughts this am. Hard to shake the insecurities or unloved feelings at times when I get to lost in my head.

I enjoyed the singing programs 
Went for a slightly longer walk today because I didn’t want to go home when it was so bright outside, paying the pain price for it even though it was still short at 30mins, very frustrating.
Just had a nice phonecall with my best friend, she’s recently gotten sober and I’m so proud of her.
Hope you’ve all had relaxing weekends

Day 339~ Checking in sober this fine Sunday. The suns 
out and it’s in the mid 40’s. I’ll take it. Nothing crazy to report. Life’s been busy but that’s per usual. Omg this sweet little girl that comes into our shop always brings me a drawing. It’s always something ice cream related. She’s adorable. I wanted to give her something as a thank you and just let her know she’s appreciated. I got her a little art kit. I can’t wait to see her again so I can give it to her. She’s probably 10 years old and always comes in with her dad. Not sure about her mom but I want her to know she’s special. If a little girl can do a nice gesture like that I’m pretty sure everyone else can do something nice for someone. It’s the little things in life. We need to appreciate them and pay it forward. No act is to small and can really make a difference to someone. Just be kind. Have a great day all. Keep killing it! One day at a time!

Now that’s a day-maker! We need more reminders of kindness in everyday life like that. Both the little girl and you for getting her an art kit.
Thanks for sharing and being a good person

Checking in on day 14. I’m so glad I’m still sober. This time it feels very different and I can say that the relapses made me stronger. Like I trained my sober muscles or something. When there is wine in the house or even an open bottle I don’t feel stressed out I just put it out of sight and don’t think about it anymore.
The other night was a tough moment when my husband came home tipsy. His mood changed every 5 minutes from very sweet an funny and ended angry that I’m not fun at all since I don’t drink anymore. I managed to sigh this away, but it hurts off course. I could easily see that I had the same behavior when I drank. And i felt such an aversion to this shitty and unpredictable behavior. Don’t know how to deal with this in the future. Thank god he doesn’t drink that often, but I can’t stand to be with him at the moment. Tips anyone?

I’m fianally romanticizing less and less. There was a time right about where you are now I was doing a lot of romanticizing about a nice bottle of Cabernet. It would drive me crazy. It wasn’t an urge mind you. Just fantasizing. I couldn’t stop thinking about it. I even wanted to start a topic about it but chickened out. I just stick with my saying. “I’m not drinking today and I’m probably not drinking tomorrow.” Romanticizing is just those pesky feelings that come in and they go. I did find that changeing the genre of music I was listening to at that moment would help also. And you do have a lot going on there. I was getting tired just reading it on your other post.

2yrs Clean and sober
Day 730 and wow… 2yrs ago I was at this spot coming down off meth and alcohol… sitting in the sand with my head down and thinking that I was a hopeless piece of s#@!.. I had attacked someone for sexually harassing a family member and, the next day my 9yr old son was wanting to be with me as he was visiting me from Australia for the holidays… and I kept him away from me because I didn’t want to let him see me in the state I was in. Embarrassed, ashamed, angry, sad and fucking hungover with no sleep.
This is me now… having hot coffees at this spot and I now have my son living with me. 2yrs later and I’m still here… still managing emotions but still clean and sober. Its been the most difficult 2yrs of my life and challenges as I write this but I’m committed to having a better life. Meeting tonight at home group and celebrate with like minded people… oooo and cake (highlight 
)

I share this desire to experience & explore all that is possible. The advice I’ve gotten on this is to beware that aspirations don’t become expectations. It isn’t about the “all” or “everything” that we experience but the “each”. Put more elegantly, “It is better to travel well than to arrive.” I have found this to be good advice, at least in my experience.
