hello stranger, Iām not going to say good to see you bc I would rather you were out there living a sober life but if your not this is as good a place as any. I will say congrats on your day though, I know how hard it feels to get back into the swing of things.

Well, having gotten a negative result on my Covid test, it looks as though I have a green light to go to Egypt on Sunday for some scuba diving in the Red Sea. Looking forward to what will hopefully be my first real holiday since February of 2000.
Goodnight all.

I have never scuba dived and imagine its an amazing experience. Enjoy your trip!
@C_8 I focus on this daily one (which as u say, is a task to keep up with), and just randomly check the others. Maybe I should start checking another slower thread more regularly.
@MrsOdh I know she has had her part to play, but moving from place to place like that must have a toll. It is easy for me to feel sympathy when I am not dealing with the daily troubles, tho.
@RosaCanDo Congratulations! 
@anon60334405 Does goofing mean enjoying a new thing in US? For me a goof is a mistake or goofy is silly. Glad ur tattoo is NOT a goof and u love it.
@Charlie_C Spooky!

itās the last place we go and the first place that works. Like you I tried everything sane so eventually I had to try something crazy. I still didnāt stay sober though until I got a sponsor and started to work the steps.

Day 229
Got my access back to TS yesterday, those who didnāt know i broke my old phone so I locked myself out of everything, 0 out of 5 stars do not recommend, itās a nightmare to get back in, took a week of fighting with google and required everything except a DNA sample and my first born.
However, I was asked by the alumni coordinator of my treatment center to share my story, tonight in a zoom meeting, to say Iām kinda nervous is a understatement, but I feel honored that people want to hear my story.
I am gathering the courage to share it on TS as well, maybe this will be what it takes to get me over the hump. Those of you that know me from posting or chatting or in zoom, know Iām outspoken, but thereās still parts of me that I can be uncomfortable talking about.
Wish me luck, and look forward to my novel thread here I guess

So kind @Dolse71 thanks for being an amazing support. Hope youāve had a good Thursday. Think I read your message half asleep at 6am and need to reread again. I love checking in sober here each night. Feeling so much better. I worked late today and did a little stretching and yoga. Felt pleased I didnāt beat myself up for no major exercise I just breathed and loved. Sending the same feeling and love out to you all x

Ah so good! Iām on a Buddhism course atm called Life with Full Attention which is about bringing Buddhist practice into our life.will let you know if any good book recos come out of there. Iām also enjoying WOUNDED WOMAN which is on history of womenās treatment during their menstruation and generally about womenās bodyās 
it is so HEALING to read and think about how itās a feminist issue that I appreciate and love my body. (Whenever I struggle with something I tell myself itās a feminist issue and Iām doing it for women everywhere!) (And men who also suffer under the patriarchy!)

I hear that is some of the best scuba diving! Enjoy and congrats on being negative!
Iām feeling different this past week. I feel more open to living in the present at home with my wife, and at work, with my colleagues (and my tasks). This differs from before when I would get distracted or think really grandiose that I had to be and do everything - and in the end I did nothing.
Iām not sure where this will go but I feel food about it. Iām also walking more regularly. An evening walk, every few days. This started last week. I like it. Audiobook. Itās peaceful.
Wish me luck friends. About to head out on my walk.
