Well done on your one week sober, that boredom of a day not getting wasted does go away. Try filling it with shit you’ve been meaning to do to start with and then later on in your recovery that boredom then turns into a bit of time to relax instead.

Checking in before bed at the end of day 21. Three weeks! Really happy. It’s getting better all the time. This weekend has been the best weekend that we have had together as a family for a long time.
Also started reading This Naked Mind today. Would welcome some thoughts on it. Seems pretty sensible so far. Let’s see.
Looking forward to being sober again in work tomorrow. I am so much better at my job these days.
If you’re still in Sunday, have a great Sunday, and if you’re starting your working week, have a great one.
Goodnight.

Good for you Petri 
I know all our addictions are bad. But giving up that one… just wow 
smoking is just so nasty and gross and sickening and smelly. It’s great to be able to breath again isn’t?
Great job.

Happy First Sober Birthday Maggie. 
Oh, you are going to be so proud of yourself tomorrow. You got this. I was like 3 weeks sober too for my first sober bday last year. But the good folks here kept me in line. And being sober for my bday WAS the best gift ever.
You go Queenie 
I’m so excited for ya.

Checking in. 3 weeks no alcohol today. Am feeling great. I told my coworker that I was 3 weeks, and his answer was great job, are you celebrating with drinks this weekend? That off put me a bit, but I went home and realized so many peoples view of drinking is skewed, thinking it’s a reward. It’s not. Not this time.
So I’m going to keep going.
My kids go back to school tomorrow after being at home since Dec. 17th, feels weird to have them going, this feels like another school year, but it’s the same one. Kind of afraid for the peace and quiet coming my way, not because I’ll drink or anything, but because I will genuinely miss them while they are at school.
Now I’m off to spend a sunny (and very cold!) Sunday with my kids and husband. Enjoy the day everyone

Checking in. Just woke up. Trying to talk myself into getting out of bed, but it’s easier said than done.

Sitting and waiting is a very minor punishment for forgetting keys. 
You’re too nice.
I tell my daughter pager stories and she can’t fathom the idea of life without cell phones.

Me at job interview: …and that pretty much rounds out my resume.
Interviewer: Great, so do you have any questions for us before we conclude?
Me: Yes, is it ok to microwave fish in the break room? And what is your nipple policy?

I now just snorted my mouthful of coffee into my nasal passage to prevent laptop damage. But thank you for the laughs!

Day 99. Not in the best state. Next door neighbour have invested in a guard dog for their back yard. I can hear it in every room of my house day and night. Driving me nuts to the point if I hear a dog bark outside somewhere it makes me feel on edge. I am waiting for a good chance to have a word with them but I’m pretty sure they won’t keep it inside knowing what they are like (rough as fuck). Expect it will end up with me reporting them to the council, and/or plugging my full club system in my house (which I don’t want to do as it may annoy other neighbours and you know maybe i’d like to work without a club system in the background too). Anyway I can’t see it ending well and I feel anxious a lot. Started back on prescription benzos in the meantime. Apart from that, went out today and built a 10 foot snowman of which i’m very proud of lol :k

222 days. Getting through the weekend as best I can. My stepdaughter is creating more issues and I know I need to be patient but she is really getting on my nerves. This morning’s antics were addressed by my man but the tension could be cut with a knife. It’s fricken cold here today (-30 and below with windchill) but am going to try to get out and visit my son before the last straw hits this camel’s back.

Day 120. Got up early and made cinnamon rolls. Took Max on a rainy walk. We are going to have a quiet Sunday, and I will be meditating and working on knitting a hat for one of my friends that lives in cooler climes. Right now I just feel like being quiet and moving slowly is my best plan.
Happy Sunday, my fellow soberians! I hope y’all have a great day!

Yes, life as a non smoker is great. No longer a slave to those damned cancer sticks.
