I still consider myself new…but I could see you were an important member on this forum. Well, everyone is…but I could see how well others responded to you. I’m happy you decided to come back.
Muchas gracias amigo, reading your words felt like “home,” it’s hard to explain, but I was just nodding my head and thinking “yes, that’s it,” as I read along. It fits with my feeling and thoughts, also. Well put!
Truly shocking!
This makes me smile, amigo!
Rob, I’m so sorry. I hope everything gets better soon. I know the snowball effect all too well. Praying for you.
Ack! Happy belated birthday…feliz cumpleaños (in Spanish), Milele!!!
Checking in sober at the end of another lovely, long, sober weekend. Had a nice roast with the family for lunch and then was able to drop my eldest daughter off with her friends…because I wasn’t slaughtered.
Life is so much better now.
Have a great sober day, wherever you are.
Goodnight.
- Woke up not feeling the greatest. Pretty bummed. I know I’m having a flare-up. But it’s not as bad as it usually gets so for that I am grateful. I’m getting ready for the day and going to spend it with my Parents. Just had to tell her it would take me a little longer to get there. Although, my Mom is going through a lot she’s so positive and speaks kind words about her whole situation. I am truly blessed to have her as my Mom. We all struggle in our own ways. Some more then others but I believe we choose our own paths and how we let our struggles effect us. Today, I choose to be happy even though I am in pain. Hope you all have a wonderful Sunday!
Checking in - riding a wave of gratitude, optimism and (if it’s possible) simultaneous pride and humility. Sober, life is one of endless possibility. I feel like I’m truly living now, compared to barely breathing when I was drinking. Today is day 1 of…spring cleaning, lol!!! Time to clear the cobwebs (literally) and wash away the winter dust. Sending love out to you!
@C_8 Congratulations on 500 days. Keep kicking ass at kicking ass cuz you’re doing amazing.
@CapriciousCapricorn Those are some awesome numbers that reflect an awesome person.
264 days. Totally let everything out yesterday and was happily surprised to find that my words weren’t only heard but they were acknowledged as something that he’s willing to work on. I feel a bit like I have an emotional hangover but a huge relief to have released everything and not hold anything back. I made a call to a nearby hotel today and was informed their pool and waterslides are accessible to guests. Tomorrow is a non-school day so I think I’m going to book a room for the four of us and we can have a family day and night with just us. I’m excited just thinking about it and my oldest stepdaughter has been talking about it since crawling out of bed.
@FindingJesse congrats on 50 days
@Dazercat thank you so much for the words of appreciation, I do it because it made such a difference to me in my early days here so wanted to pass that on. I’m really grateful to have had my vaccine, I slept really well last night and feel so much better today, totally worth it

I finally slept last night for the first time since Monday night, and it was great sleep too! I feel so much better today
Today I caught up on the first semi-final of The Voice UK, which I missed last night, it was so good, I don’t know why they do but singing programs are the only thing that makes me cry, and it feels good sometimes to have some emotions fall out of my face. Before I started Testosterone and MH medications back in 2014, I used to cry multiple times a day, every day, since I was a child, so although I’m grateful to be past all that, it does make me feel a bit numb, so it’s nice to feel things occasionally!
I’m off for a walk now to close the weekend, before it gets too dark
Checking in. 7 days alcohol free! Feels wonderful to wake up without a hangover on a sunny Sunday. Hope everyone enjoys this day as much as I do!
Gracias and thank you sweet, sweet Rosa!
Doing well! Working out 6 days a keek to keep myself busy:-)
Thank you Tyler! I truly appreciate your thoughts and prayers and my Mom does too.
Checking in, day 122. I spent my afternoon with friends and had a really great time. I don’t know the last time I met others, as there is a pretty strict lockdown here. It was so fun, I’m really not a social person, but missed that a lot.
I also learnt a new song, which I really enjoy to play:
