Most of life is mundane day-to-day stuff, I reckon. Writing about it is valuable in many ways:
It highlights little things that are meaningful to you in your day. There’s joy in the little things.
It shows how you cope with life sober, how you face issues and pains.
It gives hope for others that it’s possible to live without your doc, even though life is never easy.
Comparing with others never brings anything good to the table, IMO. I’m guilty of it and wanting to change that. You are very valuable here

I enjoy day to day musings. Having experienced more daily drama than I care to remember, I like “boring”. That doesn’t mean I expect that…things happen. But I guess I mean I am happy for everyone when they are just having a sober, regular life.

Friday! Only working half day today. I’m meeting a friend who I haven’t seen since before COVID for or lunch. Im taking the afternoon off. Last time we planned this she canceled at the last minute. So I spent the afternoon drinking. That was 62 says ago. That will not happen today!! I hadn’t planned on sharing that but am glad I did. Anyway, I have a few errands to run, plan on making tortellini for dinner, will walk the dogs and have a super sober start to the weekend!! Hope everyone has a great day!!!

At times I feel like I have to learn this lesson continuously. But that’s life, I suppose - one long lesson if you let it be so.

Congratulations on that amazing milestone, @RosaCanDo!!
@Misokatsu I, for one, find simple “still fine” check ins to be a huge contribution. It’s a reminder that we are all still in this fight together. It is a valuable addition to the sense of community. Besides, I never have any profound wisdom to add

Ok, coming to the end of day 4 and feeling pretty good. Natural energy levels are slowly coming back, feeling well rested and my head’s in a good place. In the back of my mind the weekend Demon’s are stirring though. Any tips for getting through the first weekend? Devil makes work for idle hands and all that so thinking I just need to keep myself busy and away from the usual weekend haunts? Worried I’ll start getting tempting invites though.

I value your contributions enormously. I like seeing your funny little icon thing. It’s instantly recognisable, and I know there will always be something worthwhile underneath it. It’s hard to see our own value. I’m sure that many people in here feel exactly the same. I know I do. In fact, I’m cringing now in case anyone thinks that I think I’m wise by posting this.

My birthday was a long one with many hiccups along the way but after a year and some change I finally have back my evo!! A part of me and a huge piece of my recovery are my cars-it’s been a tumultuous process that has tested my sobriety many times but patience, a strong growth mindset and the tools in my toolbox all helped me stay the course. I am beyond happy today and grateful. Have a wonderful day y’all

It’s just important to learn from mistakes and humble yourself there is no shame in starting over just remember the reason why you are starting over and remove it because it’s not helping you and you’re better than that 
keep up the hard work !!!

I love your check ins! I think they are valuable. Its the familiarity. Sometimes I come on here and I dont recognize a lot of people which makes me feel disconnected but then I see your posts among others I recognize and its comforting to know you are here even if its just you saying “I am here.” Plus, I like to know how you and the kiddos are doing! It wouldn’t be the same without your check ins.
