So true! Thanks Dan. I honestly can’t describe how relieved I am to be sober in this cold snap. I would have been anxious before about drinking too much while hunkered in, but would have drank too much while hunkered in… Shame spiral and waste of time on repeat. Give me my books and cast iron tea pot any day!
@Mno enjoy your snow day! And though I have never had “a walk in my swimsuit with my doggy” in the snow (at any temp) - I will, but only if you and Conor join, and you promise to wear that cowboy hat and @Conor689908 is dressed up like spiderman!
Day 134. Got my blog post up early this morning. Cleared off my desk and threw away a bunch of things I didn’t need, and filed away the paperwork I need to hold onto (taxes, new car stuff, etc.). De-gooped Max’s eyes and gave him his flea/heart worm treatment. Now we’re watching some TV while I finish up a knitting project and Max naps. We have a big week ahead, so we’re going to get all the rest that we can!
@icebear and @CATMANCAM, congratulations on six months! Thank you both for sharing here with us all, and letting us all know the possibilities and pains of a sober life through your stories.
@RosaCanDo, your cooking project sounds delicious, and your house is going to smell so warm and wonderful! I hope you have a great sober Sunday.
@zzz congrats on 60 days @RosaCanDo that sounds like a very pleasant Sunday, I didn’t know they had a new album out, will have to give that a listen
181 days no alcohol.
149 days no cocaine.
Thank you so much for the support and congrats that followed my post yesterday. I managed to resist pizza last night but gave in today. Hopefully that’s all my cravings played out and I can get serious about my diet again, I just had my delivery of another 4 week’s worth of shakes so by the time I’ve got through them I should be another stone down
I did my meditations this morning and caught up on here some. Watched a little TV when the pizza came, full disclosure I had ice cream too! Maybe I can look at it is a celebration for 6 months alcohol free, especially as it was birthday cake flavour ice cream.
I’m seeing the specialist tomorrow afternoon for a biomechanics assessment to see what more they can do to help with the pain in my feet and legs. I’m nervous but hopeful and glad the appointment has rolled around fairly quickly.
Checking in Feb 7 2021

This whole work things has me stressing out looking for a stable career just trying to find my spot and nothing seems to be working out today for the first time in the longest i had thoughts of rolling up a joint wouldnt be so bad hope things get better for now i have to keep looking at my positives and realize how far ive come cant let this situation bring all my hardwork to a crash have an awesome day everyone
EDIT : i went out of town on a chicken pasta chocolate muffin and cheese my mind starting playing around with the idea that this doesnt hit as good as a drag of a cigarette would or a 40oz malt liqour but i cant im stronger then that and i will get through this day i will not go back i cant go back 🤦:angry:
Hi everyone. Well, I’ve made it to Egypt, and am now in the city of Hurghada, on the coast of the Red Sea. Scuba diving tomorrow, and then an insanely long day on Tuesday with a bus tour to Cairo and the Pyramids. It’s a long drive each way, so the bus leaves at 3 AM !!! Good thing that I can sleep on moving vehicles… and at least I don’t have to do the driving.
Anyway, the flight here was fine, and so is the resort, but wow, does everyone push alcohol !! On the flight, they must have asked me 4 times if I would like any wine or anything… I was tempted ! And this resort is an all-inclusive place, so they push alcohol pretty heavily too, in my opinion. You wouldn’t think so in a mostly Muslim country, but there it is.
Anyway, I hope that you are all well.
Checking in for tonight

Back at work for my quick turnaround, I did something yesterday and over the next few days that’s been very freeing, I overcame the anxiety of posting my story for all to see, I really really wrote it out, very in depth, it’s almost like a breaking of the chains. It felt good, people read it, responded it made me grateful
Super Bowl Sunday it is
Someone who’s growing of importance in my life said something last night, told me not to let my past define me, im but there anymore we all faced the manipulation and darks of our past, look forward to a brighter future
Appreciate it means everything right now !
I was kinda down earlier today in my post but with a bit of patience and hope things can definitly turn around
Day 181
Lunchtime here, and have spent the morning reading articles for work and pretending to be intelligent and professional . Sitting still in my unheated house is blooming cold so I am going to take a walk to the shop and enjoy the winter sun.
Maybe I can look at it is a celebration for 6 months alcohol free, especially as it was birthday cake flavour ice cream.
