McDonalds always sounds good to me! 12 years old! I hope he has a good day!
Iām only a couple of months in. Sometimes it gets harder than others but Iām really glad to have my family back on my side ā¦Iāve been in rehab four times prison in and out of jail and it seemed hopeless for a while but Iām glad to see thereās other people out there in the world that are struggling with the same things than I am
Good morning. Checking in into my 2nd Day. Did actually get some sleep this nigth, but feel bleaaah. Wish you all a Great day
Congratulations on the 2 days thoughā¦ 2 days sober seems like a lifetime in the beginning but Iām super excited for you and what is to come
Yes it do feel like that. Im happy Im on track again. Last time when I fell of I last longer and it felt so Great.
Thank you!
glad for you. It is hard to see at the beginning but the longer you hold out the better you will feel.
Woke up at 10.30am. Iām OK with that coz I didnt fall asleep till about 3am. I went out for a walk about the shops today because I actually felt like myself today for the first time in a while. My head foggyness is gone. I dont feel like sleeping all day. I have had ZERO moments of anxiety today which is wow yay wow the weather here today is just perfect. Its warm , clear blue Skyās and autumn leaves everywhere. Its a spring in my step kinda day. And Iām grateful for itā¦ I think Iām going to take myself out to see a film tonightā¦ I want to see nomadland, the one that won the Oscar for best film?? I will head into the city to see it and then go to my favorite Italian place to get spaghetti for dinner no urges to use at all today so thatās a win for today
Your evening sounds perfect! Enjoy
Checking in on Day 15. Busy day at work ahead then a solo pizza and film night in my lovely, cosy house.
Iām here, Iām alive and Iām sober.
Day 243
Happy Walpurgis eve everyone.
Today is the Swedish holiday Walpurgis even, its a pagan holiday. And has been celebrated in Sweden like forever.
We celebrate that itās getting brighter, that the light returns and that itās the end on the winter season.
Normally we gather at huge bonfires, listening to choirs with only men (menās choir if thatās even a real English word? It is in Swedish ) and lit fireworks to scare evil powers and demons away. To keep the animals safe, because in the old days they where released out from their barns at this time a year.
And tomorrow the 1st of May, the workers day. Where I live itās a tradition to have fika outdoors for the first time during the year if the weather is nice.
Everything is canceled because of Covid-19 ofc. But the Village where I come from recorded a concert with all the songs last year, which I plan to watch tonight. And I will use Chromecast for digital bonfires and fireworks as well.
Today me and my husband also celebrates 10 years as a love couple. On this day 10 years ago we decided that we wanted to be more than friends. Because as you guys know, I married my best friend. The towns gangsta (yes for real)
Unfortunately, I suck on dates so I had forgotten that. My husband asked if we should have something extra special for dinner today. I was like, I guess we can. Itās Walpurgis so weāll make something spring themed. And then he had to remind me that it was an anniversary too
Pa is still very sick, I talked to my Ma yesterday and he was worse when I talked to her.
This morning my brother called, he and his girlfriend had tested positive for Covid-19 too. Theyāve got a boy who is 1,5 years old and sheās pregnant so they where worried ofc.
But I still feel very hopeful about the future. Canāt help it, thatās what Walpurgis does.
Happy Springtime everyone.
I want to see that movie too! Actually we watched the trailer and talked about the pros and cons of nomadic life in discussion class today.
5 months sober today.
Feeling quiet good! Just gotta keep going 1 day at a time.
Everyone have a great day!
The trailer is great isnāt it ! Im looking forward to seeing it. Its definetly a film worth seeing on the big screen Iām thinking!
- Coffee. Finishing my first week holiday, another week to go. Evaluated the first third of group therapy yesterday. It was a fruitful session and I feel good about it. Progress is slow and tedious, 10 steps forward 9 steps back, but progress is made nonetheless. That goes for all of us in the group of 7 and thatās excellent to see and experience. One day at a time. Sober and clean. For me the combination with being here and sharing works really well I feel. Thereās a fertile interaction going on in my head and soul. Thank you all so much. Love from Amsterdam where I need to get a new basil plant although and because this one has cute little flowers.
@burk123 Welcome Will! Glad to have you aboard. Indeed the sense of togetherness, the feeling of not being alone and have like minded folks around who know the deal, is what has made this place so great and important for me. Hope it can be for you too!
@Wakikki Happy you made it through the night! If you made it through day one, you can make it through day two too. Yes you can. Success.
@apes2020 Glad to see you doing better April.
@Beforemy30s Passed the two week mark already A! An A+ for you! Congrats.
@MrsOdh Good things and bad ones Sophia. Life is life. Congrats on your anniversary and a happy Walpurgis to you en yours. Hugs.
@Freeyourmind Vijf maanden Bart! Dat is enorm! Gefeliciteerd!
@zzz Happy for you. Wish it happened here too.
Thanks Menno! Geniet van je 2e week vakantie!
I preferred Sound of Metal. Or The Father. Anthony Hopkins did the best acting Iāve ever seen. And The Chicago 7 was great! And Promising Young Woman.
@Misokatsu
Glad youāre feeling well and more yourself.
Way to go April
Promising young woman I am also keen to see! Must make some āmeā time to check them out!
Checking in on day 9. Finally got my first dose of vaccination yesterday. Hubby too. Feeling great and grateful. Waking up sober is such an amazing feeling. Getting on my knees and pray is a little weird but I do it. No matter. Anything that keeps me sober. No big plans for today. work and then tonight a meeting. Happy sober Friday to all of you
