I don’t know if it is the changable weather, but my daughter has had a couple of fevers recently, has one today. Not too bad, but no appetite and complaining of headache. So on the sofa with a blanket and dvd, and the rest of us just hanging in the house too.

  1. Ms. Monkey’s youngest graduates from highschool today. Up early cooking. 10 lbs of chicken, 10 pounds of beef for tacos…queso, salsa, guacamole all from scratch…
    Various desserts…

Started crying this morning, Ms. Monkey turns to me and says, “you have been a phenomenal bonus dad”. His real dad is extremely absent.

Sobriety has brought this to me. Recovery, has brought this.

His dad was a drunk. He quit, but never recovered…just a dry drunk.

Getting sober is more than not drinking. It’s about fixing all the reasons we ran to the bottle.

Stay sober friends…and recover!

Thank you @M-be-free49! Day 338 clean and sober today. On the downward slide to one year sober what a trip. Got a new tattoo last night. Corey and I were going to get matching ones that said “DTO” which stood for Despite the Odds because we made it through so much (multiple overdoses for both of us and also for not killing ourselves out of sadness for all the loved ones we lost) but we’re still here. Looks a bit dark but the shading is going to lighten up quite a bit. I hope everyone has a great day today, love you guys!!! :sunglasses::metal:t2:

Singapore government has said that all local schools are going back to Home Based Learning from Wednesday this week.
Feeling desperate.
When will it ever end?
Have a great sober day, wherever you are.
Goodnight. :sleeping::zzz:

Day 12 wasn’t all good but still sober. I had nasty cravings this afternoon, I knew they would show up one of these days, but still they came by surprise. I managed to get through this, but hardest thing is I can’t really talk about it to my partner. Even worse, he asked me if I could buy some beer for him. Which I didn’t do off course.
Also had lovely moments with my little boy, spent hours outside (we practiced cycling and he’s almost there!) and discovered a beautiful nature spot. Very few people but filled with birds.

At home I drank a huge glass of ginger syrup with sparkling water.

Hope you guys are where you want to be today!

Checking in sober and loving sober life… Except for… Hug your tired and overworked friends…

Last night, of course at 11:11 (long side story) As I was trying to export my contacts from my old CRM, I inadvertently emailed the ENTIRE contact list a blank email :flushed::woman_facepalming: OMG I wanted to die. Like in 2 seconds I’m getting emails and calls. So, I sent out an apology email with an explanation. Then I got a lot of nice emails. Except for the crazy CPA bitch that was harassing me a few years ago. Not sure who remembers that. Anyway, maybe it will have me reconnecting with some people. I mean it already has.

But, note to self, do not attempt certain things when you’re tired haha.

Happiest of sober Sunday’s TS peeps!!! :heart:

OH!!! And editing to add: My website has been busy AF since the email :joy:

My new CRM notifies me every time someone is on my website and my phone is going crazy. I have to turn that off for a bit haha

I already posted this on the gratitude thread, but I’m going to copy and paste it here.

Welp…🥲🥲🥲
I’m just sitting here this morning flooded with tears of gratitude. 500 days today. I could not have done this without all the support from all of you at TS. And my God given strength.
Thank y’all for getting me here. I got way toooooo much to be grateful for to list it all. 🥲🥲🥲
:pray:t2::heart:🥲

A wonderfully nurturing atmosphere is created when people help other people by being themselves and sharing their own experiences. I will contribute to this interchange today.
We meet as equals and help one another, not because some are experts and others are learners, but because we all have needs and strengths
