Bunch of random stuff happened today. A wheel fell off my mower, and so I mowed with three wheels. I diced up a snake with the mower unintentionally. I found a tree frog on my porch. My pickup truck wouldnāt start, so I couldnāt carry off my broken mower. Instead, I gave it to my neighbor, who offered to take the truck as well. Iām thinking over that. A hot chick wants to date me. I donāt know if sheās right for me, and I told her so. But sheās so damn hot. Her move. Weāll see. Any day I say no to casual sex and masturbation is a good day!

Checking in day 244
Feeling a little sad as the one mom I was trying so hard to be friends with suddenly ghosted me after I mentioned being 8 months sober. I guess it was too soon to mention that or maybe she is legitimately busy and its all in my head. But I feel like a loser.
Glad to be back at the gym! Did a yoga class last night and today. The one last night I didnt know was outside and I was in a tank top and it was sooo cold, windy, and rainy, I froze my ass off. Yoga mats were literally blowing away we had to use weights to hold them down. Not how I pictured my first day back but was glad to be there nonetheless.
I signed up for this 40 classes in 60 days challenge so that will keep me busy.
Thankful to be alive, thankful to be sober.
@TSan Congrats on 6 months!! No more hangovers 
@TMAC Thanks for sharing! Makes me not feel so alone in the no friend department. I like the guy that says to make friends you just lock them in your basement lol.
Congrats @Joy for 600 days smoke free! Woot woot! How is your running going these days?
@Stupidrummer Great work on 10 days!

I resonated with this while reading your check in because wow itās so true. There is something about connecting with a higher power, a source to siphon and gain strength from and knowing that Iām not alone in this lifeā¦starting the day like this really sets the tone, mindset wise. The gratitude portion is huge. Thanks for the reminder!

Well done!!!
@Fireweed Congratulations!
@Singtone My partner (the most normie drinker possible) stopped drinking totally the last time I quit (last August). I also felt bad about him quitting. I felt guilty. But recently as it has got warmer, and maybe as he trusts I am totally done, he has been having the odd drinks again. Your wife may start drinking again in her own time. But also remember, for us it is ādeprivingā to not have a drink. But for people without a problem with alcohol, they probably donāt care.
@TSan Great job! It is so great to remember those times and that that is not you anymore.
@Jennajen Fantastic!
Day 228 (I do love it when @icebear and @CATMANCAM tell me my day count)
Yesterday on the way back from taking my daughter to play with her friend I tripped on uneven ground and fell into the side of a building and then slithered down the wall onto my ass. It was right by a crossing too so there were cars waiting who saw everything. So that was embarrassing, but even worse was I then remembered times when I did similar things because I was drunk. Especially picking up my daughter from nursery, I kidded myself that I wasnāt that drunk (yet) but I sure as hell tripped and stumbled a lot on the way home. I also rode the bicycle sometimes and was weaving from side to side. Or just having to concentrate to walk normally, holding my daughterās hand, but it was her helping me really. A not so pleasant trip down a half-remembered memory lane.

Itās a confusing business, isnāt it?! I think Iām coming to the conclusion that I just have to do me, and let her do her. The second guessing and the over analysing is becoming quite wearing for me, and Iām sure itās irritating her.
The difficulty is that I know we are in different places with all of this. From conversations that we have had it is clear that she feels that she is giving something up that she still derives a lot of pleasure from. It feels like she is being punished for my inability to control my drinking. I try not to be a selfish person, so this causes a lot of inner conflict for me.
Thanks for your response, sober twin. It always makes me smile seeing your days.

Could you call the dear friend that you were awful to? Six months off the booze indicates a strong conviction that you and truly unhappy about what was said, and that you want to make it better.

Iām starting to love normal things. I honestly never thought I would. I too am from the āI deserve a treatā brigade. Iām also from the āI must make the most of every momentā brigade.
In my short time sober, Iām starting to value just being still and doing nothing.
I canāt explain why, but the biggest treat of my weekend so far has been to take my daughter to her friendās house yesterday evening. She was running late and couldnāt get a cab. I was sober and had nothing pressing to do, so I just took her. I hate driving in Singapore, but I loved it last night. Not sure what my point isā¦ 
Edit: I have just discovered that I canāt send more than 3 consecutive responses in this forum. Itās the first time I have ever tried. It makes sense. Donāt need people like me hogging the mic.
Anyway, I just want to say to @Jennajen that you give a lot more than you take from this place, Jenna.
And to @Misokatsu that you make a very good point about a normies attitude towards booze. I am trying to work out her thoughts with my mindset, which is not compatible. Thanks, Fleur.

Glad you were okay! Flashbacks of our drinking days are the worst, I have them a lot too. I guess at least they remind us not to drink anymore.
