Checking in daily to maintain focus #27

I did :rofl::rofl::rofl:. I turned it back on and they let me start again but the moment was gone.

  1. Coffee. My weekend is here, although in a couple of hours I’m attending some online seminar for work from home. It’s OK. I’m sober and clean. I slept pretty well and pretty long. And tomorrow I’ll be off too. Have a good day all. Clean and sober. Love from Amsterdam.

    @M-be-free49 To quote Muhammad Ali: ‘Don’t count the days, make the days count instead!’ and right he is. I don’t count mine. I let the counter do that for me. And I look 'm up and post 'm here daily. As a source of personal pride. As a tool of accountability. And maybe they give some inspiration to others. I hope and think you’re proud of your eight months. I am for sure. Huge congrats lady. Big hugs. Don’t get lost. See you soon.

Good morning, my friends. 101 days here. I’m so thankful for all of you and how you help me along in sobriety. There’s so much freedom in a community of people who understand your struggles and still accept you. The rest of the world simply doesn’t provide this. Truly loving and caring for other people without any care about their shortcomings is a path to freedom.

Yup. Boy, we were so wrong! Come to think of it, I was wrong about quite a few things in my teens. :sweat_smile::sweat_smile:

Good thought, there @Truckinmonster21! I truly believe that. I have seen what negativity can do.
Glad you have rejoined the fight!!

326 today. 1st day on the job went very well. I will have the honor of working with military veterans every day. It’s another example of how God places opportunity in your path if you seek him. Thank you all for the support and good wishes on my 1st day.

Went out for a run and enjoyed some outside time. Meeting didn’t pan out because of covid still but that’s OK. Thank you much for your advice

Yoh today is hard, I’m seriously craving a drink and was tempted to grab a few while @ the shops…

Then I thought about how horrible my day would end up (black out), how sick I’d feel in morning, all the good things I want to do tomorrow wouldn’t happen and the depression and anxiety…

I resisted the urge today, I am sober today

Honestly, I can’t pinpoint it exactly…

It’s a beautiful day, I feel well, got some extra cash… So why not drink and make it more awesome? That’s the alcoholic thought process… Madness

Day 264 clean and sober today. Thank you again for all of the love and support you all are giving me it’s really helping more than you know. I love you all too and have been too out of it to respond to your posts and messages so please don’t think they’re not read and felt. I woke up yesterday morning with peace in my heart knowing my son is with his mom now but later when I had to contact the coroner’s office I spent the next few hours hysterically crying so fucking hard. I did feel the urge to get wasted but I knew that it’s not the right thing to do. Corey would want me to stay clean and I’m doing my best to honor him and myself. Lots of praying. Two of my friends that I was in rehab with came by and just loved on me and listened while I cried. Then they took me downtown and parked and went on a beautiful walk through the city and around through the park. It was such a beautiful day out it was amazing. The love and support I felt from them did so much to heal my heart yesterday it’s hard to put into words. I feel the same way about you all when I read your messages to me. Today is a new day and I am grateful to be sober and grateful to be on this journey with you. I love you guys so much, have a great day. :sunglasses::metal:t2:

I guess for that particular time and the crowd I hang around with it was.
I think if I was a teen in the 90s or noughties I would definately not be a smoker. There are no Marlboro men or Virginia Slims ads and everyone and his uncle knows that Cigarettes are killers. About the drinking? Mmm… the jury’s out on that. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye::woman_shrugging:t5:
