Day 135. Iā€™m really struggling with my depression these days, and today it was all I could do to get out of bed and get to work. This will pass. This will pass. In the meantime, letā€™s talk about the good things that are happening around here:

@anon27700620, congratulations on six months!

@Dolse71, 140 days of awesome sobriety! Huzzah!

@Charlie_C, happy, happy birthday!

@RosaCanDo, I want to see pictures of the home projects! You sound busy in a very good way!

@Tomek, it sounds like youā€™re doing well. Iā€™m glad the half marathon is giving you a goal to work toward. I canā€™t wait to see some of your carvings once you get your new tools.

Iā€™m sorry youā€™re feeling down. As for me in dark times cuddling my dog gives me some sort of calm feeling, that over all this whole stuff has some sense. Iā€™m glad you have Max, I hope he can help you get through this.

Day 224.
Whew! Busy Monday at my desk and on here too!

@Charlie 58 years young and a few days shy oā€™ the big nine oh! Go you! I hope your grandson celebrated with you in grand style. :relaxed:

@Fargesia_murielae Congrats on 1.5 years! I so enjoy your check-ins. Thanks for sharing. And big yay to small anger.

@Clarity Phew no covid! I hear you on getting back into shapeā€¦ slow and steady wins the race, I sayā€¦ (but Iā€™m sprinting to the finish line for your Day 200!)

@anon27700620 Ah, Iā€™m glad you were able to go on your trip! And happy 6 months to you. Amazing job declining the booze on the plane (damn wine pushers!). Looking forward to your diving pics!

@Tomek your statement about carving: ā€œI canā€™t wait to start, as it completely switches me off.ā€ I love it. I love finding those things that are like meditation but in life. I hope you post more pics of your sculptures/carvings.

@TSan Yes, it will pass, but I hope those clouds pass quickly, friend. I always look forward to seeing your check-ins ā€“ rain or shine.

And to everyone else ā€“ letā€™s be proud. Weā€™ve crept, crawled, soared, trekked, floated or otherwise done another day. Letā€™s go for another tomorrow. I know we can. :orange_heart:

I did that before and relapsed really hard for 2 yearsā€¦ the good news is that now you know moderating isnā€™t an option as do I :wink:. You can do this

checking in. from Wayside ā€¦ the treatment center staying here again tonight. Had a really good day. Had one on one counselling this morning for the first time in a while. Really helped. Some of today was frustrating and stressful. Tears and what not but very much growth provoking. Tomorrow the house manager is back so that will be productive I hope. Some of my housemates are surprised that I am not coming home but you want to lie to my face about things I saw you do i stay away until I calm down and get some support which I have lined up for tomorrow.

@Charlie_C Happy Birthday itā€™s always nice to read your posts and see the pics of your grandson.
God bless you all. :v:& :heart:

P.s. You are so sweet. Ya you!!

Checking in on Day 73 without alcohol! Had a surprisingly good Monday. Nice to start the week by getting a lot accomplished with a chance to end the work day early with some yoga, cleaning, and relaxing.
