Day 201 . It was a busy week, finally Friday… Two weeks ago, my daughter came from Italy for a semester break. It had been 5 months, we missed her so much. The first thing she told me is “Everything seems fine at home, my father and you are also very calm and peaceful” Keep doing whatever you are Mom :slight_smile:

Eating too much, grumpy and over-sensitive, and my eye twitch has come back.
Trying to drag some gratitude out of myself.

Was just about to say Phwoooooaaaaahhhhhh. Then I saw a picture of a kid eating spaghetti, which would be inappropriate. And it’s not the sober selfy thread :joy::joy:

Checking in, Day 5 alcohol free. Troubles sleeping at night, I ended up in the spare room by myself the second night in a row. I’ve awoken with a headache so that’s not fun. I’ll have to get rid of it before work today.
Looking forward to my Friday night, my kids and I watch a tv show together every Friday (Wandavision) and my daughter has suggested we watch Soul after that. I’ve never seen it, they tell me it’s good. I’m also going to make an effort to not be on my phone so much tonight, I find myself just staring at my phone screen way more than I should, so I’m making a mental note to dial it down again.
Happy sober Friday everyone!

Happy Friday - slept decent enough, enough to feel alert and energized this morning. So grateful I don’t rely on caffeine in the mornings anymore these days! And grateful that things have turned around for me this week. I know that I worked hard to get here, but sometimes I feel like my mood and mindset is blowing in the wind, subject to gusts around any corner. I’m doing my damnedest to make whatever changes I can to find balance and a survivable baseline. Staying sober to save my life. It’s good to see this community busy, and don’t forget, if you’re struggling and need a hand this weekend, come on down and join us BEFORE reaching for that bottle. If you reach for the bottle, come on down and tell us you reached for the bottle and let us help you pour it down the drain. Stay brave, you’ve made it here and that’s a triumph. Much love, amigos :heartpulse:

Hey all, checking in on day 264. @anon27760155 I’m so sorry to hear you have covid, I’ll keep you in my thoughts! @anon60334405 can’t wait to hear how the bike is if/when you buy it.

Not much going on for me, just chugging along and glad to be sober each day. I’ve found that sobriety has really given me the ability to enjoy the small things in life and that makes each day so much better.

Have a great one guys.

Day 267 clean and sober today. I have another procedure to be done today at 2:30pm in regards to my kidney and I hope it goes well. I found out the police have my sons cell phone so I’m going to call today to see if they can find out who the person was that sold him the drugs that killed him. I don’t think they’d give me the persons name but I’m really hoping that they might be able to track him down and hold him accountable for what had happened. I really don’t believe my son would buy straight fentanyl, it’s more reasonable to imagine he had bought coke off someone that was laced with that shit. Prayers please for me and for the police department that they may find the person who did this. Have a great day, love you guys. :sunglasses::metal:t2:
