Didn’t even realize I would be hitting a month today lol time sped by for me. Waking up to seeing this is a great joyous surprise and I’m so thankful to be here, sober and enjoying more of life’s gifts again!!
Thank you all for being here. You’ve showed myself and others that we aren’t alone and can be heard, understood and even cared for by new people.
Hey all, day 237 for me.
@AdvntrLane Congrats on 1 month! That’s amazing!!
@SoberWalker That picture you shared is beautiful, I’m so jealous you are able to take walks with views like that!
I hope everyone has a relaxing weekend, see you all around TS 
Nicely done! Isn’t it great when a milestone sneaks up on you?! I think that means you’re doing something right. Congrats!
Ryan, I have no words… Wishing you all a safe day/evening and a plan to move on with out him interfering in your lives.
Day 152: Today it’s day 2 of our extended polar vortex period, it’s 0 F but feels like -15, the high will only be 5 today, and I hate to break it to my dog but we might skip our walks today. I took her out just around the block yesterday when it was a little less than 10 deg but also windy, and she did fine but started dragging me home and trying to gallop, that’s when I knew she’d had enough of the cold. I feel ya, Lupe, but I do miss the walks myself now! So we will play indoors today and keep warm. No big plans, though I’d like to get cracking on this sweater I’m knitting and finish the sucker so I can move on to a new project.
Amigos, stay strong and stay sober today. Sending my love your way. 
Day 34: Checking in. Echo @RosaCanDo… ^^polar vortex. Appreciating the auto start in my car so I have a warm ride to AA.
Nothing new to share. Settling into this newish routine and feeling healthy and strong. Know I need to start adding some inside activities here soon so we all dont go stir crazy at night. Then adding skiiing lessons once it warms up again.
Kiddos started back in a hybrid school model. So very much needed, both from am acedemic standpoint and a social interaction need.
Hubs made a casual comment last night that when I was drinking “I wasn’t that bad, for the majority of you drinking it was a lot of fun”. I think he is missing his drinking partner. The comment sent my mind into a tailspin. In the end, I made the mental choice to dismiss his words, that this was not about focusing on what he was choosing in this moment to remember, but instead that I am doing this because of the way I felt when I was drinking…and after I woke up from drinking.
I later casually commented on what his brothers were doing this weekend:-) It may be that he needs a break from the new routine that I am in and also have some social time with others. He seemed to go with it and may make a trip this weekend to do some fishing and beer bonding with them.
I hear you. The high temp on Sunday here will be -8 F. 
914 days alcohol free. Went to an alcoholics funeral yesterday. All I can say is I’m glad I’m on the winning side of this messed up battle going on in our brains. Happy Saturday
Holy *%#$ Rosa! That’s just wrong! Come here and get warm! 
@MagicMama we all need to hunker down and stay warm, it sounds like!
Icebear, big huge congrats on your 180 days!!! Enjoy some special tea or hot chocolate!
@anon79808082 I think we’d all love a trip south right about now, and Maggie is probably wishing she didn’t come home!
Great, let us know when it’s done.
I’ll hold an open retreat for my winter friends here, lol
I’ve made that drive a couple times, it’s not that bad LOL! I’m there in spirit, trust me!
Nice one Allen 
Absolutely brilliant your killing it 
@anon60334405 I’m totally late to the party but huge congratulations on your 1 year. I absolutely LOVE your tattoo. The pizza guy shit is ridiculous but I hope you can see, through this incident, just how far you have truly come. I am so proud of you bro as you keep kicking ass at kicking ass.
@RosaCanDo Late congratulations on 5 months. It has been my pleasure and such an inspiration watching you grow over this time.
@Matt So happy to see this and best of luck to you. “Living in the present” is my daily goal and feels so much better.
@RyanSA HUGS You & your family are in my prayers. Mourning the loss of a living person stuck in addiction is unfortunately something I too have experienced. It’s not easy but you need to take care of yourself and do your best to let it go.
@littlemisschatterbox WHOOP WHOOP look at you go sister. Your shares and support are greatly appreciated and I am totally inspired by your 500 days.
@Penguin Feeling the feels has been the hardest part of sobriety for me yet the most rewarding in terms of healing. Congratulations on sitting with them and living life on life’s terms.
