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 “and I haven’t drunk alcohol for 6 months”. 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. It’s like you think you know and bam it’s the complete opposite. The difference now is I’m 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. :woman_facepalming:t3: :roll_eyes: Our ice cream shop has been booming which is excellent considering it’s 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. I’m beyond thankful. :pray:t3: It’s 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. It’s never too late to break the cycle. Every journey has a day 1. Stay positive. Stay strong.

:v:t3::heart::blush:

  1. I’m 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! Let’s 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.

We live, we learn, we get over it and move on.
Alcoholics of our type can never safely have one drink.

It’s not ‘Bye’ its a cry for help. ‘Thank You’ yeah stick around and you’ll have something to be thankful for. ‘Sorry’ 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.
I’m not where I am today by being on my own or learning a harsh truth or two along the way.

Checking in. At the end of the Daily Calm meditation, Tamara always says ‘have a wonderful day’. And this morning I thought huh, maybe it will be wonderful. Only one way to find out.

Have a wonderful day everyone :sparkles:

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 what’s up everyone. Yesterday was a good day. Good lift session, today will be squats. And I’m excited my buddy is getting out of jail so I’ll be going to see him after my session. I’m hoping he will choose sobriety, but if not then hey that’s 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
