That’s cool . A friend of mine would say that was not a coincidence there are none. It was a divine appointment. God bless.

Today its official, I’ve been sober longer but since joining AA I’ve never reached a 5 month coin. Its only through the grace of my Higher Power that I have bc I’ve had a shit week and would love nothing more than to get drunk and high.

Thank you, I’m in a bit of a dark place but I’ve spoke with my sponsor, they always seem to see things clearer than we do. Our own minds make up lots of stories which are rarely the right ones.

@Gonefishin congrats on your week 
@siand I’m glad you found your keys, misplacing things really grinds my gears so I felt your pain when I saw yesterday’s post!
@anon27700620 great photos! Thanks for sharing 
@JoMarch congrats on 10 weeks

@MrsOdh I hope you won’t delete, so you can still pop in when you need to, but I wish you all the best regardless 
@Desire2ChangeToday that’s an amazing connection!
195 days no alcohol.
163 days no cocaine.
Had the worst relapse nightmare I’ve had since getting clean. I don’t know where it came from or why but in all my drug related dreams since getting clean I haven’t used, but everyone around me has, but in this one it was me! I discovered a whole dressing room full of, well actually I won’t say out of fear I’d trigger someone, but yes, Inwas instantly so out of control and couldn’t stop again and it felt so real of course. So grateful to be sober 
The walk today was lovely, it’s getting a bit warmer and the daylight hours are slowly getting longer, on my way out for my walk I managed to capture the sun just going down for the day. I’ve also just started a new audiobook called The Body Keeps The Score, it’s about trauma and its effects on the body, mind, and brain, really interesting so far.

Big congrats Paul. And without trying to be a wiseguy (but still being one), I’d say there’s one thing you want more than get high and drunk and that is to remain sober and clean. With the help of your HP OK. You’re here. One day at a time. See you later friend.

Day 408.
Had a very active sunday. Feel pretty tired so I’m off to bed!
Still fighting the good fight to stay sober.
Today was a beautiful day in Belgium. Lot’s of sunshine and great temperatures. A great day to be sober! I never want to lose that feeling. The blessing of sobriety.
A good night to all!

Checking in.
I kind of though it was a busy night on here last night. Not all of it good but something we can all learn from. Well in my mind, and what I read TS, last night and then pondered about today.
Anyway I was thinking. *what is harder to do?
Being sober?
Or Forgiveness?
When I ponder. (Gosh I can’t believe I’m pondering or even using that word) I always turn to my buddy John McAndrew. Most of y’all have heard me mention him before. He’s got a great emotional song. “If You Can’t Forgive”.
I don’t know how deep your hurt is. But John sings you can’t going on living if you can’t forgive. If anyone’s interested have a listen. It’s just him and his piano probably singing at some rehab.

@Dolse71 Brilliant! Well done!

@JoMarch Sounds like things are going well!
@Desire2ChangeToday How spooky!
Day 195
Gonna try to be productive and try and get a handle on eating again today. I need to lose a bit of weight, but I need to do it in a way that doesn’t trigger binges, which is not easy. But when I am fueling my body better I feel better, I know this, but it is hard. I need to be careful about screen time too. Again, when I am busy doing actual things I feel better, but I just don’t seem to ever bloody learn. Oh well, progress not perfection, and all that jazz.
