Day 3. It’s technically more. However, I have adopted 4.3.21. as MY DAY. I like numbers. This countdown number calls to me. So be it. I accept you.
Yesterday was a rough, icky day for me. There was a moment of WTF (why the fuck, not what the fuck) should I bother? It’s not uncommon around 5-10 days for me. I know why. I have wanted to quit drinking for 1/2 my life. I know that. Anyone reading here can see that. I have been here off and on since 2016.
Vanquishing demons is not something I have been very good at and it will take far more consistency than I have participated in. I think my max is 50 days. Each and every time, there is a pattern: Stop checking in. Start skipping online meetings and meditations. Stop reading. Become less mindful.
Tick tock, tick tock, relapse.
Read and learn, those who think, “maybe I will just skip that today.” Until you have numbers way into the stratosphere, you are standing near a gas can with a lit blow torch.

@Wasabi79 congrats on 6 months 
sorry for your loss 
@Conor689908 congrats on 600 days
@manishc sorry to hear about the accident and the scary situation, I hope you will find an answer to resolve, do you have insurance that will cover it?
@EarnIt welcome back 
238 days no alcohol.
206 days no cocaine.
12 days no binge-eating.
Haven’t done much today but did do what I had planned which was sealing the packed boxes up, and they are now stacked neatly ready for moving.
This anxiety is clouding my mind about committing to the tenancy before we’ve exchanged, but if I don’t pay the rent deposit and sign the tenancy I will lose the flat, and it’s taken me a year to find somewhere that will allow my cats so I feel like I can’t risk losing it. I made a stupid mistake cancelling the loan from the council, I thought I was doing the right thing, but I have left myself with nothing whereas I could have used my holiday pay to cover the next 2 months rent if the sale doesn’t complete when planned. Hating myself so much over this idiotic decision. I’ve ordered another take-away, it’s either a coping strategy or a punishment so I can hate myself even more.
Trying to be hopeful that I might hear something from the solicitor tomorrow after the Easter holidays, that would be amazing

@CATMANCAM I checked, my insurance will not cover plastic parts and accessories. I will pay the guy, but it be on my terms. He is just a bully. I know his type very well (rough childhood). Usually they aren’t very smart. I can negotiate with him, without offending him. I am not going to pay a huge amount for a plastic wheel cover. I will pay him what it really costs. On my terms. Not his. Or maybe I will order it for him from Amazon 
I won’t allow myself to be bullied.

Super proud of you. You’ve had a lot of hard stuff going on lately - anniversary of your wife’s death, sore back, no heating - and yet you just keep going along, day by day, one day at a time. Amazing!
Your commitment to your sobriety and recovery is inspiring. 
ps don’t you forget how grateful i am/we are for you - ya you!

Good evening friends, finishing up a successful day 142 at a meeting. Had a really great day. Even went out to the grocery store with my wife after work and thoroughly enjoyed it. We get along great when I have nothing to hide and she knows it. What a wonderful blessing this life we’ve chosen is!

360 days reminds me I have to change my view and look all around instead of just in front. It allows me to see things clearly and make better choices. I’m grateful for sobriety

Checking in, had a great day with the family to start our spring break. We went to an aquarium, grabbed some lunch, and took a stroll on the pier in Nags Head. Did see this good sized alligator on the way home too! Then grabbed a good dinner out and called it a night! Hope everyone else is having a great sober Monday!
