Day 456. The Packers were eliminated from the playoffs so its a pretty great day 
in my sports world. Otherwise just grinding to get to a long weekend working another 16 hour night shift (12 hour shift + 4 hours driving time).

Hubby is doing a little better. He’s trying to still work even with his arm in a cast. Only few hours a day. His ribs are healing pretty quick. Turns out there were only slight cracks so nothing major. Thanks for asking Mickey.
We had a nice long conversation this morning and he actually took the time to listen to me. Things are getting better, the more sobriety time he gets under his belt.

- Spent the weekend at Ms. Thirdmonkey’s daughter’s house. Helping her update her kitchen. She didn’t have the money for fancy counters. I found a kit for 60 bucks that helped update them…
Half her back splash is done, we did subway tiles for that…fun and productive weekend.

Make sure we get the finish results I love seeing home improvement projects. I’m putting in a sidewalk here in a couple weeks.

I’m trying to stay positive, grounded. Whichever stain of covid I have is boomeranging and it is beginning to wear me down. I feel like I might be okay for an hour or two, I even begin to hope…and then bam! set back three days. I have lost 13 pounds in 10 days. I haven’t weighed myself today. It might be more. I sit still and find myself okay… I get up, to go to the bathroom or to get some tea, and I sleep for hours afterwards from the exhaustion of just getting up.
Even in my illness… as I have negotiated with God and come to peace with the idea of dying…I am compelled to view porn. However 31 days clean. Oh the addicted mind.
I have a feeling I’d ask Death itself to send nudes.

Wishing your FIL a full recovery, will be praying for him. 
Blessings and sobriety!
Day 209.
Self-care sunday. Some puttering, some projects at home and at my desk. An A-for-effort attempt at time on my trails, but it was a throwback to childhood: dressing for 30 mins to play outside for 15. Yes, @Apes2020, tonight it’s -32C (-25F) with a windchill of -44C (-47 in F? i dunno. effing cold.) It does warm up when the sun comes out. (I tell myself.) But this is the north. And everything is relative: communities north of 60 call where I live “the south”. 
Correction: maybe not everything is relative. Sobriety’s not relative. I either drink or I don’t. And I don’t. Not today or the 208 days that came before.
We did another day. Yep, we did. Let’s not get ahead of ourselves, but I’m sure we can do another one tomorrow.
Gonna hit the mat for more zoom-from-home-yoga before I tuck in. Now how’s that for adaptable. 
G’night, big love to all. 
@Luckyredz triple digits tomorrow. nicely done.
@TSan 120 days! Cinnamon rolls for sure! I hope you are proud, and that you got some good chill time this weekend.
@Clarity It’s worth repeating -so fucking proud of you! 
yer a star. 
@MagicMama Yay! Happy birth week! We were missing some royalty on this forum!
@Misokatsu I wish you could see you how I see you. Pretty damn beautiful on the inside and out. I hope the clouds break soon, friend.

Filled out my paperwork for my neurologist appt. Sounded so good to put on the papers no alcohol use, so many times I checked occasionally or socially this time I can say no and not be lying
Feels great

I’ve been going out with a few of the ladies from AA every Saturday for dinner. We’ve exchanged phone numbers but never last names until last night. Turns out my husband built an addition and deck on one of the ladies’ house and she knows him very well. We laughed over the fact that it took us 6 months to figure this out. Now we have so much more in common than just addiction. The friendships I’ve made are so much better than a drink or a drug.

Checking in day 65. It’s been a great weekend with the family: board games, a little yard work together, and family dinners with no distractions. I’m blessed and I’m so grateful to be clear headed enough to really see it.
