Good luck tomorrow.
I always bring my ear buds and put some good tunes on during the procedure. It helps me a lot.
You’ll be fine.

- Back to work. Big meeting today. It will be OK. I’m sober and clean. Yesterday I biked to and from my group therapy, so I had over 4 hours of solo therapy too. It was a good day. Now on we go. Have as good a day as you all can friends. Clean and sober. Love from the polder.
@Dolse71 huge congrats Paul!

Day 325.
On paper? Shoulda been a rough one, a “just make it to wine o’clock” one. But in real life, not such a bad day at all. I guess it just takes a good long while for it to sink in - bit by bit - I can really only control how I react to the stuff around me. Some of it is maddening, for sure. Frustrating or overwhelming. Sad, even. Oh, and beautiful. And there were some deep belly laughs too, of course! (I guess all these work zoom meetings have to be good for something!) To feel it all, without fear of the feelings, without being ruled by them - just feeling 'em - this is new. Feels good. Helps that I can take it all to the trails after work. We do an exchange: I leave the day’s stresses behind and the dog girl finds another stick for our growing collection… 
Much better than anything I ever thought I’d find in full glass of wine. Not an even trade there.
So? Let’s swap sober stories again tomorrow, ok pals?
G’night (or g’morning!) - big love.

I’m in! I’m in! @CapriciousCapricorn, @Squirt, and @Misokatsu!
I sing off-key and ad lib lyrics too! (Though not as bad as “We Built This City on Sausage Rolls” or “In a Bacon Tree”…)
Save me a seat please? I’d be grateful and honored and thrilled!

Morning! Day 36 here. Heading into my 6th sober weekend. I have cinema plans, getting my nails done, catching up with family, clearing out the house and putting things in storage and a lunch with friends. A busy one. I will be doing it all sober and then looking forward to a quiet Sunday evening of reflection at the end of it.

It certainly is Tony, previously I would have been eating waiting for others to finish their drinks so I could order another large glass, totally over ruling the occasion, been the last woman standing, and waking up feeling crap and then work, ridiculous. Pint of lime soda lasting all eve and enjoyed my meal. Thank you
