Checking in. I got an appointment to my new psychologist in a month, it seems like forever, but at least I will have someone to turn to. Today I worked and took a walk with the kids. Wearing mask on the streets is not mandatory any more (or at least noone wears it) and Iā€™m pretty anxious about it. I got so used to hide my face, it helped me a lot in the last year. The more sure Iā€™m in myself the bigger the gap is between me and my reflection.

On my 20th sober day I took my son to a 5 mile light hiking to the sorrounding hills and around a pond. It was really nice and relaxing. Saw lots of wild birds and talked with a rural living shepherd. Luckily my son wants more, so tomorrow we will go somewhere again. Actually I have neglected the kids because of the booze for so long, now I am busy to keep upā€¦

@WCan Your self-awareness is impressive. Keep fighting your thoughts and I hope this passes quickly.
@MrsOdh Keeping your Pa in my prayers.
@Rockstar24777 Getting fucked up will only fuck things up & I know you know that. Yesterday may have been tough but you are tougher. Sending love and strength :kissing_heart:
@Julied Congratulations on 3 months.
@Wakikki Congratulations on double digits.
@Misokatsu The benefits of talking to our kids about drinking can be limitless. I believe my openness with my stepdaughter has strengthened our relationship and given her a greater appreciation for my sobriety.
@Mno 23 months is amazing. Your openness and honesty about your journey continues to inspire me.
@Soundlab Keep fighting the good fight cuz you are winning.
@Tomek Happy to hear you got an appointment.
@siand Awesome numbers.

326 days. Had company over last night and stayed up until 4 am visiting. As they were sitting here drinking it felt so good to know I donā€™t drink and wasnā€™t missing out on anything. We even talked about planning a spa getaway with our families to celebrate my one year. Iā€™m quite tired this morning but itā€™s a good tired. Donā€™t have plans for much today so I think itā€™s safe to enjoy a lazy day.

Day 243: Doc says Iā€™m to drastically reduce my screen time as itā€™s a common migraine trigger. :tired_face::confounded::cry: Iā€™ve gotten a lot of good advice from lovely TS amigos and others about methods for cutting down screen time (if Iā€™m honest Iā€™d say verging on internet/social media addiction) for which Iā€™m very grateful. So yā€™all might see me a little less often, but Iā€™m not gone by any means.

That being said, Iā€™m feeling good today! Going to finally make my belated Cinco de Mayo meal of tilapia and (gasp!) seasoned ground beef tacos. Happy itā€™s Saturday. Sending my love out to you all :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Day 14.
6.54am.
11 degrees.

Two weeks. One of the more successful two weeks Iā€™ve had in a very long time. Very long time. I joined an OTP. I begun regularly going to Pilateā€™s. I made contact with estranged family multiple times. I got dressed and put make up on, three times (!) :joy:

Oh and this morning I just seen the hot air ballons back outside my window. They take off and land at the lake opposite my place , but because of covid , they disappeared. But once in a blue moon on a clear day if Iā€™m up at at sunrise, il see them glide past my window. Its definetly a bucket list item for me , to go hot air ballooning!

I feel good today. No anxiety or urges. Its Sunday, my favorite day. I feel that Iā€™m going to enjoy today so much more and cherish it a lot more than normal because now that I have something to do during the week, I have purpose and my time is being filled up, the time off on a Sunday is so much more enjoyable to me and Iā€™m that much more grateful for it now :heart:

see the little balloons in the distance :heart:
