1Y 7M 10D

I met a Senator from my state today with a group of Soldierā€™s from my unit. My wife is doing really well back home and will be operated in the middle of this month (Knee replacement). Just talked to her today and sheā€™s in high spirits. Fixing her credit, growing her business and taking online classes. Iā€™m really proud of what sheā€™s accomplished. My Plan on what am I to do when I get back home is beginning to take shape but for the moment, I have to stay focused on the Present. All in all, today was a good day.

Checking in on day 19. I dunno, somehow my body is forcing me in depression mode, itā€™s like a tidal wave. Itā€™s been hard to get out of bed or to have a positive thought lately - but my circadian rhythm and appetite are still intact, so that is nice.
Iā€™m just so tired of all my own shit, Iā€™ve done it countless times before: trying to deal with everything on my own, brain goes into overdrive, depressive episode, relapsing on alcohol. I now realize I need help getting out of this and Iā€™m glad to have all of you in my corner. Iā€™ve been ā€œoutingā€ myself to friends and it went well. Now preparing to talk to my brother on the weekend - not sure what heā€™ll say, but heā€™ll kick my ass for sure (in a supportive way) :sweat_smile:
Watched an AA-Zoom-Meeting, but Iā€™m not sure I find that helpful at the moment, might come back later. Glad to be sober though. Doing one babystep a day, thatā€™s all I can manage at the moment and I guess thatā€™ll have to do.
Thank you for listening to my rant, hope you have an awesome day :heart:

Day 275, things are going okay glad I have support today was a very tough morning but its all gonna be okay, this part of the emotional process of being sober is dealing with everything in the present without drinking to drown myself. Iā€™m hoping everyone has a great day I know mine has turned into a good day :metal:

Day 10.
7 degrees and frosty cold.
6.48am

Its officially cold here. I like the cold. I just dont like wind. I can break out the puffer coats this morning! I do want to go online and buy a new one though. Maybe il treat myself next week pay day. I havenā€™t online shopped in like 3 weeks so ive been pretty behaved. Iā€™m curbing my habit :yum:

My body is tight and achy from Pilateā€™s yesterday. To be expected I guess. Alas, I have still booked myself in for another 8.45am class this morning. I am determined to get momentum with this work out routine.

Nothing else I need to do today. I will put dry laundry away. I will read. I will meditate. I will go for a lake walkā€¦ Its a good day. No anxiety or urges. This is good :tada::pray::heart:

@Boygenius I found accepting that I am an alcoholic actually gave me a lot of peace.
