Day 397!!
It’s frustrating how all these lockdown’s put all your activities on hold. Feel like all the things I’d look forward to may not even happen in the next few months… it drives me crazy. I’ve been able to keep my cool since march but I find myself getting angry at the whole situation more and more than I’d like to.
Alcohol used to take my frustration away tho…
I hate it. Fuck you covid 19.
How do you keep a cool head these days? Would love some tips!
Thank you! My mom is from Texas! Love that state, so much to do!
I’m so excited to check out this state! I only have a few left in the top corners before I’ve been to all of the US. Love traveling and exploring!
As a child I would travel to see my Oma in Den Haag for school breaks (Summer, March & Christmas). Nice country
How do we keep cool? I guess by sharing here. Your post is similar to my post on day 396. I just had to dig it up. Don’t know if it helps. But I feel ya friend.
This COVID-19 stuff can fuck right off.

Cool piece, thx for posting
I keep cool learning…I’m a life long learner…I went back to college (3rd time) when I quit drinking (1st time 855 days ago) and graduated (again 3rd time) during covid…there’s lots out there for me, hopefully you can get back to what stimulates you. Be well.
I play guitar in 2 bands. Just for fun and because it’s my passion. (Not my job unfortunatly).
But due to the covid mesures we can’t meet up for rehearsels or plan and play gigs…
That frustrates me.
I go to a musicschool (in the eveings after work or on the weekends) but the group classes are cancelled until further notice of our government.
I can only see my guitar teacher and go to 1 other class.
I feel like I can’t grow of get better at my craft.
It’s kind of hard to explain like this lol!
Besides the regular daily routine of going to work and barely anywhere else because of covid is driving my insane.
I wasn’t going to check in just yet, but came to post a meme and caught my counter here. So of course I have to share for Miss Cate 
@C_8
Of course, I too, am a number freak, so I soooooo get it lol. I named my company after my favorite number and I have a spreadsheet of the numbers that always pop up for me. I promise I’m normal(ish) 
Checking in, day 97. I finally have less work, so I can recharge a bit. Today I spent a lot of time outside, went for a walk and then played soccer with the kids and dog in the snowfall, it was really fun. I started my nicotine timer, although I don’t have confidence in my strength atm.
I finished another sober day!
Checking in Feb 10th 2021
466 Days no alcohol
801 days no Marijuana
406 days no Tobacco

Stunning photo and scenery. All I can think of is Narnia with the lamppost!
Thanks, that’s my favourite place, a hill at the end of our street with forest on one side, view to the city on the other side and a castle on the top. The best 
You are totally normal 
… and congratulations on your (very pretty) numbers 
congrats on your 200, I’m real happy for you and proud 
Day 156: Not much to report - I am ready for my doctor’s appointment tomorrow morning and getting started in earnest with my recovery with a whole health approach. Years of abuse of this body, years since I’ve had a physical exam, years of anxiety about my health…it’s time. I’m ready.
I’m a musician too (primarily guitar). It’s 100% not the same as playing with others or learning in person, but have you thought about YouTube?
I have used it in the past for learning guitar technique/scales/etc. Additionally, there are TONS of backing tracks on there in every key and style you can think of. Fun to jam along with.
Again, def not the same, but might help scratch the itch enough.
@marcusmaximus2000 Congratulations! 400 is such an achievement!
@Clarity 200 is amazing too! That sounds like a great book. I know I am on the introverted side, but always think that is “wrong” and really covet people who are busy busy and have lots of friends.
