Checking in day 17. After a massive fight with my husband, I’m actually doing better craving-wise than I did the last 2 days. Went off by myself and took a 4 mile walk… soooooooo needed!!!
Also not feeling the Sunday night panic - have tomorrow off of work for MLK - great day to reflect and give thanks.
Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Checking in sober. 57 days of choosing a better life when it’s easy and when it’s hard, when it’s good and when it’s shitty. Circumstances don’t define me or control me. Alcohol won’t make it better and it’s never the answer. I won’t celebrate with it and I won’t commiserate with it. It’s not my friend and it’s not my confidant. It’s poison and it will only hurt me. 57 days.
It’s Sunday night in America and alcohol still sucks.

Day 160
At lunch at work. Today are the English conversation classes I will quit to do more uni classes from April. I have taught these ladies for almost 3 years, and although I get tired of hearing similar tales of what bus trips they took lately, I feel weirdly guilty about quitting.

Day 366 is almost over. A whole lot of emotions as expected around a milestone. It’s exhausting Lol. I had a nice day. 
Did my prayers and readings, gratitude. Answered texts and phone calls. Went and cooked a roast and mashed potatoes and carrots for dinner at Wayside. My buddy Dylan made a cake for my one year. Went and opened the NA meeting after that and they got me a one year medallion and a soberversary card. We had a nice meeting and they all said wonderful things about me and made me cry fricken jerks 
Lol
I cried at least three four times between last night reading through my old posts on here and journals. Also some of the messages from my family and friends from TS, NA, AA, Holmes house and Wayside. I’m so extremely grateful for all the support. I’m grateful to feel these emotions. I’m grateful for the moment alone walking to volunteer cook this afternoon. On that walk, I passed someone walking the cutest happiest, little three legged dog. Something about that made me so happy. I was not expecting to get called in to make dinner today and I guess that happy animal made me think stop feeling bitter about getting called in and get your butt in there and be grateful, to be able to walk there and that they want you there cooking and giving and getting support. God works in mysterious ways.
God bless you all.

P.s. In case you didn’t know you are terrific. Ya you!!

Day 202.
Some good headway on that list, at my desk. Maybe not quite at the paperwork summit, but that’s okay! (@Clarity - you go ahead and pound in the flag atop Everest, I’ll take your pic! 
)
Along with not avoiding things, I’ve gotta learn how to set realistic deadlines and goals, too. For too long I set a lot of out-of-reach, unhealthy goals and expectations. And then I drowned out the “ahem, you’re failing” voice with a never-empty glass beside me. But I wore that out…
The good news is I’m not running out of things to work on here in my sober life! 
But hey, I’m sober. So I’m gonna call today a win and tuck in with a tired smile on my face.
G’night, dear pals. Thanks for sharing another day. What do you say? Let’s go get another one tomorrow.

Great job Rob!! That’s quite a victory
Milestone madness!
@DrkniteNZ and @dalex77 got shivers reading your posts, for different reasons - but the common denominator was just how much each of you have conquered. Glad you’re here - on this thread, on this earth. Amazing stuff.
@Sanuk and @MagicMama congrats on 2 weeks! One day at a time. For two weeks. you’ve got this.
@TSan so glad you and Max had a day to recuperate, and that you’re ok. I can only repeat everything everyone else already said, and add even more f-bombs and name calling. That guy got off lucky. You’ve kept it together so well. Oh, and you stayed sober! Bloody amazing.
@Lisa07 Do you think maybe because of just how much you’ve accomplished in sobriety, it kinda makes your husband look at himself, and when he doesn’t like what he sees, he brings up the stuff you’ve long ago paid your dues for? That’s his stuff. A rising tide lifts all boats - and you raised the bar in your family just by how you live. Looks like he’s got to roll up his sleeves and dive into his stuff! But if he doesn’t, yeah I’m gonna come kick his ass too!
@Misokatsu I have no idea why, but your post made me chuckle and then I kinda carried some of your guilt vicariously!

You’ve got a really good point M. He’s probably trying to dig up stuff on me to make himself feel better. That makes a lot of sense. Thank you for that view.

Unless, of course, you were having an affair…? Kidding! 
I think you’re amazing.

Some days when we fight over this, I almost wish I did have an affair just so he’d stop implying it and we could move on already.

Day 5.
I feel been taking things very slowly with my spouse. I am now recognizing how all of my character defects were running unleashed for the last seven months. She still manages to be gracious and patient. I tried hard to ask my higher power to speak through me in our last couple of conversations.
Feeling like a lot of my behavior in my relationship has been isolating and self-sabotage with a hint of drama-stirring just to make the perfect cocktail. I mean I KNEW I was a garbage person but I still amaze myself.

You could make having an affair a 2021 New Years Resolution?
