Yes, girl!! You have come far, and you will go further still!! You are an inspiration to me on my journey and I’m so grateful to have you around
I don’t think you could do this where you live, but my dad has a solid solution for unnecessary furniture: he simply piles them up in his backyard (deep in the countryside) and sets the whole s**t on fire.
It’s been a while, but I’ve always managed to get the new sofa company to take the old one away. Same with the bed. Had to be agreed upon at time of purchase though, and I’ve never bought major furniture on line …
So, after providing zero help, have a wonderful day
Day 224 clean and sober today and day 31 not texting Faith. Quitting my addiction to her has been as hard if not harder then drugs and alcohol. In my head still but slowly getting better. Thank you @M-be-free49 you’re the best lil sister I’ve had and I miss reading your posts! @anon27760155 you’re kicking ass and I’m so proud of you!!! Holy shit @anon60334405 your year sober is right around the corner F**k Yeah!!!

And I’m super proud of you @Squirt you’re growing tremendously good job! And everyone else I haven’t mentioned I’m proud of you all as well. Have a great day today I love you guys!!!
287 today. 30 years ago when I tried this sobriety thing it wasn’t as accepted as it is today. I’m so glad to be back and be able to share with others freely. I sometimes just read a few posts for daily kick in the ass and Im good . Thanks to everyone
Hey! I haven’t seen you around here lately Thomas. Just glad you’re back on. Persistency, that’s your greatest strength and I love it. Keep on keeping on ODAAT, right?
Blessings and sobriety!
Second check in for today.
I just got to know that my best friend had a big heart attack. She was transported to the hospital with helicopter.
Unfortunately she’s in US, I wish I could be there with her and her family. But for now, that’s impossible.
I can’t even breathe properly for the moment. Praying all I can that she’ll get well soon, even if I don’t have a God to pray to. I’ll take whoever is up there as long as they listen.
I feel some energy slowly coming back. I’ve been a little restless the last couple of nights which probably means I need to incorporate some exercise into my days.
I made amends to my spouse two days ago for my behavior while being off the wagon the last 7 months. I was incredibly selfish and critical. It’s my default setting when I’m not present. We’ve had some good talks. I think we are both on the fence. We have agreed to seek counseling but we are ok with not deciding our future together at this point. I do think my request for divorce was some amount of self-sabotage by isolating and spitefulness. However, I also wonder if my fears of being alone are coming into play. Hopefully we can sort things out with a third party. I instituted a minimum 90 day abstinence policy from any sexual intimacy and I asked her to give me time and space without expectation for touch/kissing. She has been understanding about my wishes.
We have set some goals to separate our finances and have come to some amicable solutions for the future regardless of the marriage status.
431 Days and determined to never go back. So glad it’s the weekend! Suppose to snow this afternoon and I’m actually excited for it, been an extremely dry winter here. Bbqing steaks with my kids tonight, my daughter has volleyball games Saturday and then making Sunday brunch and watching football. My sober life is quite amazing! Much Love sober friends!!
Good morning everyone! I’m at work for another set of 5 days (after having only 1 day off). Used last night. Money is my number 1 trigger. I swear to God I have to be completely broke for the next little while to get any sort of clean time. Going to be starting Keto in Feb so excited about that. Going to start attending zoom meetings too. Hope everyone is doing well this Friday. Luv to all
Day 61. I successfully made it through my bday sober. It was so cool, my wife took me to a really nice restaurant. I had coffee with my meal, she had a margarita, and I drove home. She doesn’t have a problem and has 1 drink every COUPLE YEARS…so it was nice to give her that rare opportunity and it didn’t even bother me, or trigger me, I felt like a responsible adult.
Halfway thru Day 70. I like saying 10 weeks.
Battling a double ear infection - pain, deafness, instability - no wonder kids scream about it!
Got my ultrasound results - no surprise, fatty liver underway. Mad that the pain hasn’t really disappeared after this long AF, so now have to add significant diet changes to the mix.
Feeling a bit defeated. I guess it is good to have something different to focus on. Ugh.
@MrsOdh I’m so sorry to hear this, I will keep her in my thoughts
@Rockstar24777 I’m glad to hear you’ve been working through the relationship stuff still!! It seemed like it was only trouble when you guys got back together. Keep up the hard work
Things have been a roller coaster this past week and still not moved in fully. Final move in day Sunday if things go as planned. Between the January and February I have 9 Dr appointments scheduled as well and working part time. Any one else want to join me I am going to crazy town.
