Hey Chris, when addiction was not a problem why did you stop 11 months ago? Would you get your job, your partner, your kids back when you would pick up again? If that really was the case and you would feel better with drinking why bother stopping?

Stop. Going. Out.

Day 324.
Woke up to just a skiff of snow, but cold! By the end of the work day, though, the sun had come out, and the ducks and geese were back on the pond, quacking and honking away. The work day had all kinds of moments too. I guess today was a good reminder that “this too shall pass”. Maybe its not the big things that pass quickly (like, say, a pandemic, work issues, mom’s health, etc) - but my perception of them at any given time. It can change in the time it takes for skiff of snow to melt.
Good thing I don’t drink over snow in May anymore. Good thing I don’t drink over the big stuff, either. If I did, I wouldn’t be able to hear what the geese have to say. 
Pretty sure they were honking away about how we can all do this another day. What do you say, friends? I’m in.
G’night, big love to all.

Wish we could rescue the turtle and have him as our “checking in” thread mascot. Just to show - no life is worth discarding carelessly. But his life, our lives, are for living fully, and taking precious care of.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful photos. I’ve already pre-ordered my copy of your and @Mno’s photo book!
And as for your motivation - we had the same work day!

Checking in on day 927 and day 7.
Yeahhhh, two more days, then one week off. Weather won’t be the best but I really don’t care. Anyhow, spring wasn’t spring and we will have summer directly which I don’t like too much.
Have a sober day, everyone.

I survived mine! 
And you? It was a good day after all. Couldn’t get the turtle even if I wanted too. When he saw me he hit the water. But I like the idea of him being our mascot, but it has to be virtual I guess

Oooo - I’ll create an account for him and we can start a poll for his name! 
If only work were this much fun! Tomorrow (oops - today! @Buts) be better for us both (especially since you have it off - yay!).

I wanna walk a long distance today. Going to walk to a shop in another city just to have a nice walk and a goal. It’s 11,1 miles (18 km).
I walk virtual routes with “Conqueror”. Busy with walking “Ring road Iceland” almost halfway now.
