OooooâŚooooo.oooo me first me first. Good morning everyone day 410. Things are going going good. Man I shared a couple days ago about having really bad nightmares and being held down in my bed, well since smudging my room and putting crystals on every compass corners of my room and crystal in my pillow I havenât had one nightmare, I sleep like a baby now. Yesterday I was super grateful to buy my girls some new bikes for spring, we sat down and they picked there bikes out on amazon. It was really cute, autumn was so worried about making sure the bike have a baby carrier on the back so she could take her baby for rides. And my youngest just had to have elsa bike. There were a couple smack downs in between all this just in case your wondering 
. I was able to insure my bike yesterday which I didnât think the company would do it but they did and for cheap as well. Ordered a tattoo kit and fake skin going to start practicing, parts for my Harley will be here Monday 
. Much love everyone happy Friday

Day 169. I havenât checked in on this thread in a while but figured I should. Glad itâs Friday. Adjusting to life with my new jumbo rescue dog. Lots of dog kisses and fur everywhere. Snow is melting and everything is drab & brown so I look forward to green grass and trees budding. Hopefully not too long now but Iâll beware of our âfoolâs springâ and âspring of deceptionâ as likely another dose of winter on its way 
Have a great sober day, everyone

@anon60334405âŚsounds like you are busyâŚbut great busy. Choosing new bikes? An epic feat!! Seriously, new bikes in a childâs world is huge. I have to say, though, that I always shake my head when I see how kids just leave them lying around in my neighborhood. Having your bike stolen when I was a kid was earth-shattering.i guess they figure Mom and Dad will buy them a new one. OKâŚnuff about bikes.
Happy Sober Friday!

Had a lovely evening, took an evening stroll with the family after dinner to a second hand shop, picked up a board game cheap because the instructions were all in English. It was very simple, almost entirely based on blind luck, and my son randomly had the worst luck playing it, screams of âWhat? Again? Why me?â and my daughter was gleefully sending his pieces back to the start. I do wish my husband would join in but he is always âtiredâ. Anyway, good times.

Board games with the kids are the best. Our kids love them, but they love nothing more than playing them with us. I have got home from work before now to finding our 8 year old playing monopolyâŚagainst himself.

Checking in sober at the end of day 75.
Another dry Friday night. Love it. 
I âcame outâ as a non-drinker to some friends earlier today. I was getting a lift home from work with some good friends and one of them asked if I was still on the wagon. I looked her in the eye and calmly said, âI wouldnât really call it the wagon any more, I think I would call myself a non-drinkerâ. That may seem trivial to some of you, but it felt quite big to me.
Had a bit of conflict to resolve at home this evening. Nothing major, just run of the mill family stuff. Instead of just losing my mind and showing a lot of anger, as I may have done in the recent past, I unpicked it calmly and actually resolved things without everyone being too upset. I was a little bit pleased with myself.
Life is so much better now.
Have a great sober day, wherever you are.
Goodnight.

Beginning day 75, Its Friday folks and I because I worked last weekend, I am off work starting at noon today AND I am off Monday (oldest child is having surgery so need to handle all the pre appts).
Feeling rough the past few ( ok like 5) weeks, looking forward to moving forward. I feel like I am literally changing both physically and mentally. I have to remind myself that all of this change, while rapid, is really good.
Its hard though to be moving so fast and pray that those around you will accept and move forward too, in whatever that âmoving forwardâ means to them. The reality that seems so difficult to grasp for others is that me âchanging, evolving, growingâ means I will not and cannot be the same person I was before. While scary, it excites me and gives me hope. But I see the confusion on those I love face and that is hard watch, especially for those who struggle with change in general.
Its fucking hard making myself priority in this even when this is what I am purposely doingâŚevery damn day until its my new habit. So fucking hard when the reflection back at you is selfishness. That said, when I take a moment to breath, having purpose also feels pretty damn refreshing.
Ok, rambling⌠Happy Friday, checking in Day 75:-)
Love and peace to yaâall

It is hard to detach from the expectations of others. Iâm someone who wants to please others and feel validated by my caretaking. Itâs so dishonest because it makes me unhappy to try to fit into the role that others want me to play. It keeps me from living my life and it only serves to build resentments. Iâve had to work harder on this piece than I have my addiction, but I suppose theyâre two sides of the same coin of broken thinking that got me here. Itâs even sneakier than my addiction because I learned to show love by sacrificing myself for the happiness of others. While someone might pay me a compliment for all that Iâve done for others, it doesnât mean squat if Iâm miserable for allowing others to chip away at me.
And while others might try to take advantage me, I also need to be aware that playing the victim isnât fair either. I am the one who did a bad job of creating those boundaries in the first place. Setting it right is also my work to do.
Thanks for your share! It sparked some great thoughts!
