Day 27: Checking in. Saturday morning. A bit of a rough night with me having no more fucks to give to some people/situatuons. Still sober and staying strong in that sense. Have a good good day.

Checking in sober, Day 389. Been a crazy couple of days, hours spent on the phone with the hospital, doctors, case managers, even a legal advocate. My brother, while still in the hospital, is largely symptom free and his O2 #s are good so hopefully covid won’t be a long-term issue. My mom’s initial test was negative and she is asymptomatic as well. I remain in quarantine. Been doing 2 Recovery Dharma meeting a day for the meditations, today I host/moderate my AA home group. Did I mention that it is damned cold out as well?! Glad these meetings are online! Have a great day!!!

Checking in as day 27 draws to a close. It is Saturday 30th January. Ordinarily at this time on a Saturday night, I would be sat, stupefied, watching football (soccer) beamed out from the UK.
Have had a nice, lazy day today after ferrying my kids around this morning. My wife was chief taxi driver this afternoon.
I have spent a lot of time on here today and I have found it very fulfilling - although I think my marriage would be in jeopardy if this amount of time became the norm.
I’ve heard people talk about running out of likes on here. Is that an actual thing? If so, how many do we get? I’ve been giving them out like confetti all day and they just keep coming.
Whatever you’re up to and wherever you are in the world, have a great sober Saturday all. I look forward to seeing you all again tomorrow for another lovely sober Sunday.
Goodnight.

Day 232 clean and sober today. So grateful for so many things, my cup overflows for sure. Not in the things normal people would think about but things like not being homeless, being clean and sober and for having some food to eat. Thank you universe for allowing me these moments. Have a wonderful day today everyone, love you guys!!!

It’s only about 800 km from Amsterdam to Ravensburg. Google says so. Also I never visited Amsterdam. We could have a coffee or so once the worst is over. I am always looking for a nice trip for my summer holidays

Well done staying strong when faced with pressure to drink. That’s great! I remember trying mate in the gourd with the metal strainer straw when I visited Buenos Aires…long time ago when I was 18. It was interesting.

Day 362. Beating myself up a litte bit, the kid I lift with has been helping me with my form, I sent him a video of my deadlift just to confirm it. And he said still wasn’t good, I’m glad he is honest with me tho, the last guy I lifted with just kept saying it was good when it wasn’t.
I’m really emotional, I feel like I did in the first week of recovery, one minute I’m happy and feeling really euphoric,the next I’m feeling super sad and wanting to cry lol. I’m kinda of second geussing myself on this tattoo, like do I really want this for the rest of my life. Ppl are gonna ask about it all the time and I suck at talking in real life, I still studder alot and lose focus and my mind doesn’t put the words in my mouth. Like when I txt my mind throws it all out so fast, but when I go to talk the words they won’t come out. But I’m not gonna back out, y’all will be seeing a tattoo on me Monday with pics from start to finish. Much love everyone have a great day

Hang in there, Mike. I worried about that before my first tattoo also, and to be honest it isn’t people’s business just like whether or why you don’t drink or use isn’t anyone’s business either. At times I have just said “it’s personal” and people just drop it. But you’ll figure that out in time. I’m so excited for you! When we make big life changes like getting a tattoo or even the fact you’re almost at a year it makes sense to have emotions about it.

Oh Mike, everyone on here who’s approached that one year has talked about how shaky the emotions can be - maybe different for each person, but still. This is a really big deal!
Doesn’t matter if everyone on here loves your tattoo or not (and I love it, btw) - it’s so significant to you, and that’s all that matters. If anyone else on the planet doesn’t like it? fuck 'em. 
I don’t think I’ve ever clearly told you just how much watching your journey, and sharing it with you through the posts you share with us - has meant to me and my own journey. How much you’ve encouraged and inspired me, made me laugh out loud like a lunatic at my desk all alone (lol), and made me teary when it shows just how much you adore your girls and they adore their dad.
We are a crazy mixed bag of people on this forum! From all over the world, all kinds of worlds, and probably not a lot of things in common on paper, but so much in common when it comes to what’s inside. Please know how much your presence here means to me and so many others. Please know how grateful I am you are in our worlds and the world. 
Now get in the car and go get some ink!
