You be sure to wear your helmet, Michael!!!
Oh nooo, hope youāre getting better soon
56! Today was another great day. Got my photography webpage set up and finally got a real domaine lol makes me wonder why I waited so long to do this because it was quite easy Anyways now everything is a little more official which makes me happy! Taking small steps everyday to have my dream!
This was great! Thanks so much for putting it together. The scenery is amazing - but it was the Domra (did I get that right?) girls and the guys on the dueling strings (starts with B?) that were super fun to watch.
I want the world to open up for travel again soon
EDIT: and as I scroll through - thank you @Misokatsu for posting one of my faves, and @Tomek for your piano playing. Itās simply beautiful.
Congratulations on your 60 days Maggie. Thatās great. Very happy for ya.
Oh no Danni. Iām so sorry. Iām glad you still got your adorable attitude though. And Luna will be taken care of. Thatās a load off.
Congratulations Emilie on your 2 years!! That is GREAT!! You look so happy. What a wonderful gift for you by you.
My favorite artist and song
You can edit your post. Just click on the little pencil.
Havenāt checked in for a few days. Iām still on TS everyday. My routine is keeping me pretty content and busy except for days where my back says youāre going nowhere.
God bless you all. &
P.s. Just keep trying and youāre a success. Ya you!!
Day 248.
Making it through this week was a new level of āprecedent settingā for me and sobriety.
When I started out, I think I kept a list of things tucked in the back of my mind that, if they happened, would allow me to re-think this sobriety thing. But each day is just more evidence that thereās no good reason to pour a glass, and thereās absolutely nothing that would be solved if I did. In fact, things only went so well this week because I was sober. Oh - and because I had you all with me at the tap of an icon
Grateful for all of you and this place too. Letās go back out there tomorrow - into the world, into our days, the good and bad, the joy and the yuck, and come home sober. Itās the best way, hey? Gānight, big love to all.
Busy day on this thread!
@anon60334405 You and your new tattoo and a Harley. Now thatās a selfie!
@Natnat1 ahhhhh, this is beautiful news! So glad for you. Happy 204.
@anon27760155. Noooo! I wish I was there to walk Luna with my dog girl and bring you anything you need. Rest up, Danni. Youāre just so damn strong it amazes me.
Congrats on 60 days @Singtone! Thank you for posting about the letter from HR. I felt completely understood - the reflex to drink and the realization that, hey - I donāt even want toā¦
And 60 days @MagicMama! I hope whatās going on is gonna be ok.
Happy 2 years @mleclaire! and unimaginable days @Conor689908!
amazing! triple digits on nicotine? amazing. ya you.
Day 460,
Blessings
Oh heckā¦ Iām sorry you got sick, on top of everything else. Speedy recovery and all the best for you and Luna. Youāre in my thoughts
Hey nat good to see you bk my sweet. X in hard times but Iām getting there sweet. X

Weāre still in proper winter but at least the sun is getting above the horizon again. Cold but bright
However, Iām not feeling that bright. Itās a constant emotional turmoil and Iām tired both physically and mentally. I understand that being in recovery and therapy require much self observation and processing but Iām frustrated with myself atm. Itās like Iām chained to myself and canāt break free from jealousy, insecurity, immaturity, anxiousness and fear of rejection. Iād like to be more available for my friends (bc I care, not that theyāre demanding me), but these defects keep from being really present. Iām really needy and I donāt like it, I canāt put my demands on others.
@M-be-free49 Glad to hear you had a good week! Keep going gurl!
@anon60334405 Now thatās a cool ride!!
@CapriciousCapricorn Congrats on upcoming graduation! Well done!!! Iām sorry youāre in pain and in a low mood. Sending big hugs
@Natnat1 Welcome back Natalie!
@mleclaire Congratulations!!!
@Conor689908 Thatās a good looking number
- Coffee. Itās almost weekend for most, my workweek is about to begin. Thatās OK. The pay is better for one thing. And these day thereās nor risk of me being hungover in the morning after a crazy night bender 'cause I donāt do that no more. Sober and clean is my way now and itās a much better way to live.
It isnāt boring to live life sober. Quite the opposite. I get to experience life unfiltered now. Learn new stuff and meet new people. Yes it is work, and hard work at times too. Like the group therapy Iām participating in now. making slow progress but itās so worth it. Have a good Friday all, or at least as good as you all can. Clean and sober. Love from Amsterdam. Pic is from my walk on Wednesday.
@Olivia You just keep plodding along friend. Recovery is slow and tedious work at times. The benefits will come though. Promise. Youāre doing great even when you donāt see that yourself right now. I know what Iām talking about. Hugs.
^^^ That sums it up nicely Emm! You are 100% correct, if I was not sober this week my life would have had a different outcome. Ironically, it may have been an easier āin the momentā outcome, but not an easy āfuture outcomeā moment. Big love to you and all your amazing insight and feedbavk, we are blessed to have you on this journey with us .
Oliviaā¦Sometimesā¦actually more then we admit, its ok to demand attention when we canāt give it to ourselves:-) Give yourself some grace friend, there is the flip side of the coin when you will be feeling great and we need you
