@Misokatsu… I can understand this. I am what is called a forced extrovert. I got good at this because of my job…yet I cant wait to spend time alone. Yet, too much time I become insecure and lonely. I want to think being stuck alone for a month on a tropical island would be amazing,. Reality is I would need someone to check in on me daily, but don’t stay to long because I now kinda want you to leave me alone again🤣

Hang in there your doing great. I’ve been sober for 37 days now it seems unbelievable but very relaxing not having to deal with all the anxiety of being drunk and hungover. The checking my phone to see if I text something bad. Ect. Ect. I find myself looking to find things to do. I even vacuumed the stairs today when I got off work. My wife looks at me like what the heck. My advice is keep yourself busy.

I’ve been meaning to post this since you told us about the little girl who comes in your shop. It reminds me of her - and of you too!
I guess acts of kindness are contagious? 
You’ll have to let us know how she likes the art kit!

You surviving lockdown? How much longer you guys on lockdown?
Day 367 is just about over. Had a productive day. Chatted with family and friends, did household chores, went to AA meeting. Got asked to do more volunteer work for NA they requested me being GSR and to help with H&I. That means being the group service representative and going into detox putting on an NA meeting and sharing my story. Some of these things won’t happen, if at all, until after lockdown. I already am involved in quite a bit of service so I might have to say no. Time will tell. Just for today I’m grateful to be clean and sober and learning to be powerfully present and kind. God bless you all.

P.s. have you been told today, your great. Ya you!!

Checking in, day 18. Had my first social encounter with everyone drinking and was even offered drinks, luckily I had a fresh can of seltzer in my pocket for back up! @MagicMama - seltzer game is strong! Lol
Looking forward to my son going back to school tomorrow - I’ll finally have some quiet time, even if I’m still working.
To everyone here, congrats on another kick ass day of staying strong and staying sober!!

Day 6.
Grateful for my daily reprieve today. It’s been easy so far. I think I am drained in just about every sense of the word.

Day 114. A very, very long day. They will be fumigating my building tomorrow, so Max has to stay elsewhere for a couple of nights. I miss him so much, but I don’t want him to get sick, so here we are. It’s time for a good night’s sleep so I can get on the road early for work in the morning.
@RosaCanDo, it’s good to see you here. I hope you’re hanging in there.
@Tomek, I don’t know if you’ll see this, but I hope you’re okay and that we’ll see you soon.

Awe M that was beautiful 
I actually saw her last night. She was so excited her little brown eyes lit up. I was so happy and she was so happy. In that moment we both knew how thankful we were for each other. It was sweet. Sweeter than any ice cream. 
thank you for asking and sharing that.
