Checking in daily to maintain focus #26

Checking in on day 839 of my journey. Without a fixed destination.
Reading the posts of many people who joined here recently with all the great achievements. Everyday without my DOC is a win.
Sometimes it makes me think, hmmmm, I am a non-drinker now. I am a non-drinker now was what I was thinking early in my first solo attempts of being sober back in spring 2018. I moved in a new city at I think was day 90 or so. I was so confident as not drinking was so easy. I didn’t listen to AA people not making great changes within the first year. Actually I rarely listened to anyone at that time. I was a victim and now I was great and the best as I rocked it, not even feeling the urge to drink. So why the hell bother about tools, preparing. This was just nonsense to me. Well, I still stand by my decision to move and start this new job and leaving the toxic environment behind but I fell off the wagon and drak again until November 3rd 2018 more or less frequently. I am humble now that I take it more seriously. I did not relapse really between June and November. I was just fighting and struggling to not drink. I couldn’t win this fight. Until I let go.

So, a sunny weekend is lying in front of me. Tomorrow will be uhhhh, appointment with landlord in the old apartment. Then this will hopefully be finished.

Have a good weekend everyone! :sunflower::yum:

3am…AWAKE! Noooooo. Saturdays are sleep in days! But 48 days while awake at 3am, so I guess I can just deal and nap later :rofl:

  1. Quick check in as I slept in (nice!), the sun is shining and my serviced road bike is waiting for me impatiently. So let’s dust of the lycra and ride! Not going to catch up with @anon74766472 I guess as she must have a headstart of a couple of hours on me. Will still enjoy. Sober and clean. Have as good a weekend as you can friends. Make it a clean and sober one plz. Love to you all from sunny Amsterdam.

Haha, noooo :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: gotta wait one or two hours. Still too cold. And it’ll be only a short balade I think. :sweat_smile:
Cleaning à bit, eating, drinking some hot chocolates and doing some Yoga first. Chilling, no stress Saturday.

Day 253 clean and sober today. The ups and downs are starting to even up a bit. The doctor said I can start using the elliptical again and that it’s ok to go on hikes now which is huge for me. Going to try and get out there today when the weather warms up. Have an amazing day everyone, love you guys!!! :sunglasses::metal:t2:

  1. I have a job interview for a promotion at work on Friday. I will, if I get it, leave the hectic operations piece of the buisness and go into recruiting. The good news, Ms. Monkey is a recruiter, so I have help getting ready for the interview. Bad news, to ensure a profesional appearance…and not knowing the person I will be interviewing with…the beard is getting trimmed back a good bunch today.

Same thing happened to me today. Must be a day 48 thing. Woke up around 4:30am and couldn’t get back to sleep. Such is life. At least we are sober.

Checking in at the end of day 48.
Done a lot driving kids around today. It becomes a part time job at the weekend. Sober Saturdays are not unusual anymore - but I still love them.
Have a great sober day, wherever you are.
Goodnight. :zzz::sleeping:
