Day 960
Had 2 friends for dinner. It was nice but also was triggering me a bit. For that kind of occasions I have alcohol free beer in my fridge, so I took one.
My sober life was a subject of our conversation too. I do not hide my reasons why I do not drink. But it was so nice that one of my friends gave me a compliment about it. People around me mostly do not understand how difficult it is to quit and how you has to keep working to mantain your sober life. So it’s nice if someone says something positive about it
Happy birthday @Conor689908 , I hope you have a lovely day! Maybe get a tattoo as a present? 
@SoberSenze, @anon35096624, @Wasabi79, @BluNjaTrtl31 congratulations with your milestones!! 
And in case I missed someone: yes! You too!

@SoberSenze well done on a week! I always struggle so much to get a week, then it eases up a bit. It’s like Monday morning, once you get to lunchtime the whole thing is much better!

- Coffee. It’s our National Day of Freedom. I slept well. No building noises, because it’s a national holiday. No big parties and festivals today. You know why. It’s still wet and cold anyway. I’ll have my own little celebration, being free from addiction in freedom. Freedom to be who I want, the freedom to work on myself, the freedom to not long for some stupid substance to make me forget or ‘better’ my day. It’s the best feeling I’m telling you. Have as good a day as you all can friends. Sober and clean. The pics are from 3 years ago today, when it was warm and there actually was a Freedom festival in town. Hard to imagine it at the moment. Love from Amsterdam.

Good morning friends - day 172! We have a sick David on the way over. Both his mom and I have to work, so we’re going to tag-team caring for David this morning, with laptops at the ready. Linda is still asleep, but she’ll probably take over most of the duties when she gets up. Happy to be able to help Emily on days like this. In other news, we learned that Michael, Emily’s husband, is likely to be home from deployment mid-June! I can’t believe its already been 5 months. He’s going to have a lot of catching up with David to do when he returns - David is a completely different kid than when he left.
Have an awesome day! I’m going to do mine sober!

648 - checking in on my birthday.
I wish I were in the spirit of it more. I went got my hair done and got a nice manicure and pedicure a couple of days ago. Feels nice to doll myself up. I turn 34 today. It’s important to me that I face some heavy decisions this year to be able to move on to the next chapter of my life. I’m doing alot of great things but I’m also living a huge lie in a major way. I broke down in a puddle of tears when midnight hit. Like, crying for hours, crying right now. I wish I could stay home and cry all day but I’m so busy today. I’ll make it through. Have a good day everyone.
