2 and a half years and a day
Iām in Amazon Prime Heaven over here. Everything is next day delivery where Iām living now
Iām going to need a 12 step program for Prime Shopping
Ah heaven ! You guys have Amazon groceries delivered there. We donāt have that yet !
7 months!!
Iāve been going though some shit at work and home, but not picking up the bottle!
Sobriety is worth the work! Be good my friends!
Same here!!!
day 474.
I have been working hard to recommit to life beyond the treatment center and 12 step meetings. Donāt get me wrong my recovery will continue to come first. Itās the only way anything else stands a chance at success. Starting some free online computer classes just to get a feel for it again itās been over 20 years since I was in school. Working with an employment counsellor as well on my resume and getting normal things done like doing taxes and booking a driver license test. I will say to myself the same thing I want to say to @apes2020 Congratulations on the outpatient program. Reminding myself and you Patienceā¦ with others and your counsellorās and particularly ourselves. I didnt become homeless and addicted in one day so why should it be a quick thing to fix.
Congratulations to everyone celebrating there milestones and for being here today. God bless you all. &
p.s. you rock. Ya you!!
Checking in on day 122.
Forgot to check in yesterday.
Actually, that isnāt true. I went to bed early and thought about checking in after I had turned the lights out. I made a decision not to disturb myself. I check in to stay accountable, and I think I was all accounted up, lay in bed, early and sober.
Anyway, Iām checking in now whilst I think about it.
Not a great deal to report. Singapore has had a very minor spike in covid cases, so have stepped up social distancing protocols, but hopefully not a huge disruption to normal life.
Have a great sober day, wherever you are.
Day 309.
Quite the day. Busy, busy at my desk with annoying-ish things. (So many emails! Forget drinking. My work world needs to learn some email moderation! grumble grumbleā¦) We head back into lockdown, too. Doesnāt actually change that much for me, as Iām already working from home and being pretty careful about things. This is also way easier than the first time ā 14 months ago. Thatās when I thought stocking up at the wine store would helpā¦
But you know what? Maybe, in a kooky way, it did help. Maybe it got me fast-tracked to a place where I just had to change, and so I reached out and here you all were.
Grateful I stopped when I did, and grateful for all of you here on any given day.
What do you say, friends? Wanna go climb sober trees again tomorrow? Supposed to be another beauty day!
Gānight, big love to all.

Today I wonāt use even though I really want to. April was a test of my sobriety not only dealing with the sudden death of my uncle but finding the more than 3,000 pain pills he had stashed. Just when I thought I was over it, life has thrown me a knuckleball.
As I write this, I am sitting at the airport in Seattle waiting for my connecting flight to Alaska. Having not heard from my brother since the 24th, I frantically called everyone I knew that would know him to help find him. Thankfully he is alive, but circumstances are so dire that I booked a flight right away and here I sit. I want to numb the pain so bad. Since I threw away all pain pills, my addict brain is tell me to get a drink. The problem is I donāt drink. Yet, here I sit, 2 hours into a 5 hour layover considering getting a drink. So instead of getting a drink Iām tell you, my sober family. The family I have shared many cravings with, now gets another post. Iām not going to give in. Iām not going to use/drink even though I want to.
IāM NOT CRAVING ALONE
So much to celebrate! I swear, if I had āonly when company comesā linens and china, the table would be set!
