  1. Coffee. I had a great urban hike yesterday, and slept pretty well after. Iā€™ve have gotten a bit used to my weird dreams by now. Theyā€™re part of the sober me. Also love how sober sleep is able to repair my body. I felt really sore and strained after walking 32km/20m and feel so much better already this morning.
    Iā€™m getting ready for group therapy later today, have some preparing to do, feeling a bit anxious about it. Might have to do with the fact last week there was no session. Still grateful I can go there, sober and clean, and try to work on myself, and maybe help some others a bit in the process. Just like being here actually. Very grateful to all of you. Have as good a day as you can. Clean and sober. Love from Amsterdam where Iā€™m keeping up with the urban birds theme for a bit.

    @Dayxx Welcome back Daisy! Glad to see you. Keep showing up lady. Together we can do this.
    @Bomdhil Huge congrats Thomas! Youā€™re doing this friend. One day at a time.
    @Croke You can do this. The others are not you. Yes they are a big nuisance but their voices are just that, they are not imperatives right. Keep going.
    @anon27700620 Thanks for sharing friend. You make very nice vids.

Iā€™m finding this with music as well and even podcasts. Itā€™s just crazy. Now the weather is starting to change. Itā€™s becoming quite pleasant, which is also bringing about these feelings. Glad Iā€™m not on the only one who experiences all this!!

I also used to sit and drink and listen to music. At first I found it very triggering to listen to certain music. But now I can listen without it being triggering.

Day 395. So this Saturday Iā€™m supposed to go pick that Harley up, my mind is second geussing itā€™s self and I donā€™t feel like I should do it. I really want to save my money, my mom said i should do it, itā€™s impossible to keep this kind of money forever. Yes there are some better things I could probably do with the money. But this is seriously a steal itā€™s a 2012 dyna for 6000. It books for like 13000, it would be so awesome to have something like this. Part of me feels like I deserve it, and part of me feels selfish for wanting it. But seriously Iā€™ll probably never have a chance to get a deal on a bike like this again. So Iā€™m all over the place, my mom says I should do it, that I do deserve it and that Iā€™m doing so good. I just donā€™t know. Anyways love you all have a good day

280.33 Spending the day with my older daughter. Weā€™re getting our hair done and then grabbing lunch. Itā€™s the absolute best to get time with her.

My younger daughter posted a TikTok of regurgitated crap she hears from her dad and stepmom. It was very cruel and hurtful. However, not that Iā€™ll ever file a parental alienation suit, this shit would seal the deal. Even though sheā€™s been alienated and turned against me, her home life and family situation there is pretty damn good. Her dad does have a strong victim mentality and major integrity issues. However, whoā€™s perfect, right? I hate having zero control over the situation. The harder I try, the worse it gets. Iā€™ll just patiently wait over here on the sidelines and let her know sheā€™s loved from afar.

Happy sober Thursday friends :heartpulse:

Checking in, day 119. Luckily I could finish my tasks in time, so from now on it will probably be a bit less stressful period work-wise. I still have a big task ahead of me, I try not to procrastinate, but also would like to have some free time to recharge.
After a long time I played the piano again and learnt and recorded a new piece (by Martha Mier). Canā€™t wait to start the next one.

Checking in at the end of day 60.
I know I said I wouldnā€™t count my days anymore, but I canā€™t forget who my sober twins are, so itā€™s hard to do.
Anyway, 60 days. Ridiculous. I remember being at day 1 and seeing people with 60 days and feeling like it was impossibly far awayā€¦and somehow here we are.
Played football today so Iā€™m feeling really good. The absence of other nonsense in my system enables me to feel that endorphin high much more vividly.
Life is so much better now.
Have a great sober day, wherever you are.
Goodnight. :zzz::sleeping:

Checking in. Day 4. Iā€™ve been having some crazy dreams lately, some are actually really disturbing. I look up dream meanings (whether I believe in that stuff or not, I donā€™t know) and try to tell myself my brain isnā€™t broken. :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:A positive look on it all, is that Iā€™m sleeping well enough to dream.
Anyways, I work at the restaurant today, itā€™s cold outside, but sunny, hereā€™s to a happy sober Thursday. Thanks everyone.
