Melbourne, Australia
Good to hear you got to bed and all is well
- Stuck at work. My Assitant manager is spiraling out of control. She does not know it, but her life has become unmanageable. I have read āTo the Employersā several times today. I think I will have to hit a few meetings tomorrow and meet with my sponsor as well. The intellectual side of me is fighting with the compassionate side of me. Such is life. My higher power will help me thru this.
Day 9.
Woke up at 10am. Iām in no rush today. Saturday is pottering around the house cleaning day. I really enjoy Saturday morningsā¦ I filled my last journal so fast so Iām starting a new one today. Love the feel of new journals. So Iām sitting here with three of my favorite things in life - morning coffee, a new journal and a new pen. Also obsessed with fine tip pens. They are very satisfying to write with
That sounds like the perfect morning!
983 days alcohol free.
Glad you had a good morning. Glad you are here.
I am gonna give a big YES!!! to your 983 Steve. Very happy for you!
Thanks for your continued support. almost didnāt make it last week
It can be touch and go, donāt we know it. I hope you felt and feel stronger. Your kindness and helpfulness to me has always meant so much. I admire your strength.
Sorry to hear this! I hope to see u around again soon.
Hey Lea
@Lionfish

Big congratulations to you on your 3 years. Way to go!!
Hi @Lionfish I canāt find your post either, but YAY!! Congratulations on THREE, count them, 1, 2, 3 whole and hard earned years. Awesome! Go Girl!
Day 291.
Thereās a whole lot going on in the world, in my world, and in our world here tooā¦
Damn good thing Iām sober, or this week wouldāve looked much different. In the face of a bunch of stuff out of my control, Iām going to keep doing whatās been working for 291 days: guard my sobriety, try to live so fully each day - in ways I could never while I was drinking - even if only to take note of those buds on the trees! and the geese, of course (honk honk). And to check in here, with all of you, at the end of the day.
I also give a nod of deep respect to those who join in their early days, and to those who leave to carry on their journeys in ways that better work for them.
As I was cooking away tonight, I listened to one of my fave programs. An acoustic remake of No Woman No Cry came on. Beautiful. Especially the part where it repeats about 8 times: Everythingās gonna be alright. And you know what? Everything is gonna be alright.
We did another one, friends. Letās give tomorrow the best of our sober selves too.
Gānight all. Much love.
- Coffee. One more work week to go before a 18 day holiday. I can do with a break. Not sure what Iām going to do yet but will think of something. It will be sober and clean, Iām pretty sure of that. Because drinking and drugging doesnāt ad to my world and life, it just takes everything away. Have as good a Saturday as you all can friends. Clean and sober. Love from my lovely hike yesterday.
Beautiful pictures, Menno!
The sheep are like, yeah Iām just gonna lay right here!
I could see them in a frameā¦
Morning all. So this will be day 2 for me. Still coping with the shame of my behaviour from a binge drinking episode (even though some friends are telling me it wasnāt so bad - it feels bad enough for me).
Really wishing I hadnāt been that person for those hours. But, new day. Really blue skies. Iām having a coffee and journal in bed inspired by a previous poster.
Finding reading peopleās stories on here very motivational. Have a great day, all!
