What happened Chris?
Day 182
Hubby is off, and we had breakfast out and pottered around shops. He was waxing lyrical about how I will soon be 40 and must be careful about my health (his mum had a stroke at 48). I said I am pretty careful, go jogging 2 or 3 times a week, and dropped the hint âand I havenât drunk alcohol for 6 monthsâ. Did he pick it up? Did he bollocks.
Day 361~ Checking in. Life is funny how it works. You are constantly being tested and constantly challenged. Itâs like you think you know and bam itâs the complete opposite. The difference now is Iâm able to actual work through these obstacles and not run from them.
Work has been stressful with management really cracking down. Lots of almost unnecessary pressure if you ask me. Also no one likes a kiss ass. Ughh I suppose every work place has one. Our ice cream shop has been booming which is excellent considering itâs February in Massachusetts. The community has really supported us and seems to be a perfect fit for our city. I know we are so blessed given the current state of the world right now. Iâm beyond thankful. Itâs crazy how a year ago I was thinking there is no way this dream would come true. And here I am. Hard work and dedication pays off. The local paper did an article on our shop and the family. It was a nice little write up. If I was drinking none of this would be happening.
Change is possible. Itâs never too late to break the cycle. Every journey has a day 1. Stay positive. Stay strong.
Checking in on day 396!
Had to get up early for work. I feel tired haha. Coffee in one hand znd writing this in the other
The last few daysâs iâve been able to control my cravings. Iâm getting the hang of it.
Hope you all are doing good! Sending positive vibes!
Congratulations on your 1 year!!!
Keep it up!
You just donât even know about me and numbers⌠222 is a good number to me too.
Letâs revisit this again on day 333.
Way to go Joy. You are awesome.
Youâre like the Energizer Bunny racking up those days. Good for you.
@Dragonflygirl82 How exciting to be in the newspaper, congratulations!
@Joy Your days are always a joy to behold! (pun absolutely intended)
Checking in on day 2, feeling better and sleep better overall, just had breakfast and, about to have online classes good day to you all!
Day 1, here we go
Enjoy your Egyptian adventures and congrats on 6 months sober.
Blessings and sobriety!
- Iâm good. Hope you all are too. Clean and sober for one. All the rest follows from that for us. One day at a time. Have as good a day as you all can my friends. Sober and clean. Love from Amsterdam where spring is on halt for now.
@Ark Welcome back A! Letâs do this! Together we can.
@DKGuy Yay for making it through day one. If you can do that, you can do day two too! Etcetera. Have a good one friend.
@Dragonflygirl82 Going from strength to strength Courtney. Much love. The big one coming up. Hugs.
@Misokatsu We see it Flo!
@funnydad Hope youâre OK Chris.
@I.cant.We.can Youâre handling all this stuff like a pro Brian. Hell, you are a pro. Good going.
We live, we learn, we get over it and move on.
Alcoholics of our type can never safely have one drink.
Itâs not âByeâ its a cry for help. âThank Youâ yeah stick around and youâll have something to be thankful for. âSorryâ Who you apologising to? Not us, your sobriety does not affect us. Pick yourself up, shake off your self pity and show yourself what your made of.
Iâm not where I am today by being on my own or learning a harsh truth or two along the way.
Today is the only day that matters!
Checking in. At the end of the Daily Calm meditation, Tamara always says âhave a wonderful dayâ. And this morning I thought huh, maybe it will be wonderful. Only one way to find out.
Have a wonderful day everyone
Thankful for the strength to stay sober yesterday and praying for strength today. Stay strong friends, we can do this.
Checking in sober, Day 399 (57 weeks AF as of today). Was woke twice over night by the snowplow so its gonna be that kind of day. Got a busy day on the phone and getting things done, so the early start is the universe telling me to get my ass in gear. Wishing everyone strong, safe, sober day!!!
Hey whatâs up everyone. Yesterday was a good day. Good lift session, today will be squats. And Iâm excited my buddy is getting out of jail so Iâll be going to see him after my session. Iâm hoping he will choose sobriety, but if not then hey thatâs his choice. Istill plan on showing my face and showing a good example of what sobriety can and will bring you. Hope you all have a great day much love
