  1. 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 ā€œTo 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. Iā€™m 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 Iā€™m starting a new one today. Love the feel of new journals. So Iā€™m 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 :grin:

I canā€™t find your post but I believe a 3 year cake is in order. Not sure if @M-be-free49 is up for baking another one but I got the balloons.
Big congratulations :balloon: to you on your 3 years. Way to go!!

Day 291.
Thereā€™s a whole lot going on in the world, in my world, and in our world here tooā€¦
Damn good thing Iā€™m sober, or this week wouldā€™ve looked much different. In the face of a bunch of stuff out of my control, Iā€™m going to keep doing whatā€™s 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: Everythingā€™s gonna be alright. And you know what? Everything is gonna be alright.

We did another one, friends. Letā€™s give tomorrow the best of our sober selves too.
Gā€™night all. Much love. :orange_heart:

  1. Coffee. One more work week to go before a 18 day holiday. I can do with a break. Not sure what Iā€™m going to do yet but will think of something. It will be sober and clean, Iā€™m pretty sure of that. Because drinking and drugging doesnā€™t 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.

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 wasnā€™t so bad - it feels bad enough for me).
Really wishing I hadnā€™t been that person for those hours. But, new day. Really blue skies. Iā€™m having a coffee and journal in bed inspired by a previous poster.
Finding reading peopleā€™s stories on here very motivational. Have a great day, all!
