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 :relaxed:

EDIT: and as I scroll through - thank you @Misokatsu for posting one of my faves, and @Tomek for your piano playing. Itā€™s simply beautiful. :orange_heart:

Havenā€™t checked in for a few days. Iā€™m still on TS everyday. My routine is keeping me pretty content and busy except for days where my back says youā€™re going nowhere.



God bless you all. :v: & :heart:

P.s. Just keep trying and youā€™re a success. Ya you!!

Day 248.
Making it through this week was a new level of ā€œprecedent 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 thereā€™s no good reason to pour a glass, and thereā€™s 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 :wink:

Grateful for all of you and this place too. Letā€™s go back out there tomorrow - into the world, into our days, the good and bad, the joy and the yuck, and come home sober. Itā€™s the best way, hey? Gā€™night, big love to all. :orange_heart:

Busy day on this thread!

@anon60334405 You and your new tattoo and a Harley. Now thatā€™s a selfie! :laughing:

@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. Youā€™re 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 donā€™t even want toā€¦
And 60 days @MagicMama! I hope whatā€™s going on is gonna be ok.
Happy 2 years @mleclaire! and unimaginable days @Conor689908!

Weā€™re still in proper winter but at least the sun is getting above the horizon again. Cold but bright :yellow_heart:

However, Iā€™m not feeling that bright. Itā€™s a constant emotional turmoil and Iā€™m tired both physically and mentally. I understand that being in recovery and therapy require much self observation and processing but Iā€™m frustrated with myself atm. Itā€™s like Iā€™m chained to myself and canā€™t break free from jealousy, insecurity, immaturity, anxiousness and fear of rejection. Iā€™d like to be more available for my friends (bc I care, not that theyā€™re demanding me), but these defects keep from being really present. Iā€™m really needy and I donā€™t like it, I canā€™t put my demands on others.

@M-be-free49 Glad to hear you had a good week! Keep going gurl! :muscle:t2:

@anon60334405 Now thatā€™s a cool ride!! :sunglasses:

@CapriciousCapricorn Congrats on upcoming graduation! Well done!!! Iā€™m sorry youā€™re in pain and in a low mood. Sending big hugs :hibiscus:

@Natnat1 Welcome back Natalie! :partying_face:

@mleclaire Congratulations!!! :partying_face:

@Conor689908 Thatā€™s a good looking number :star_struck:

  1. Coffee. Itā€™s almost weekend for most, my workweek is about to begin. Thatā€™s OK. The pay is better for one thing. And these day thereā€™s nor risk of me being hungover in the morning after a crazy night bender 'cause I donā€™t do that no more. Sober and clean is my way now and itā€™s a much better way to live.
    It isnā€™t 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 Iā€™m participating in now. making slow progress but itā€™s 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. Youā€™re doing great even when you donā€™t see that yourself right now. I know what Iā€™m 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 ā€œin the momentā€ outcome, but not an easy ā€œfuture outcomeā€ moment. Big love to you and all your amazing insight and feedbavk, we are blessed to have you on this journey with us :heart:.
