Day 14 (+250 -1 slip): today was a great day. I’m so full of life and love for my loved ones here and I’m finding love for myself again through the love of and attention from a toddler. It’s amazing. It is better than any drug. Sure, there have been melt downs and a few crying sessions, but we could probably learn a lot from kiddos when it comes to timely self care. This kiddo is firmly on a breakfast, mid morning snack, lunch, afternoon snack and dinner routine and it is working great. I am rambling but I want to do so a bit more…tonight was the first meal I have made for my niece since I was defrosting mama’s breast milk over a year ago. Something about cooking for her and how readily she ate it was pretty satisfying!
This kid really cements my dedication to sobriety, full disclosure, to try and have my first child and I’ll be 40 in January. Gotta try and not worry.
Sorry for the late night/early morning rant.

Day 984 
Goodmorning! After the weather was wet for a very long time it’s finally changing. So today it’s sunny and it’s time to meet a good friend to catch up. Going to walk to another city where we meet, walk there in the forrest with her, lunch at a terras and walk back to my house. I think I’m going to walk at least 25 km/ 15,5 miles with that. Last time I walked such a distance is 2 years ago. Wish me luck
Hope you all have nice plans for today too 
Picture from one of my walks. Try to walk 2021 km/1255,7 miles this year. Noticed that I need a challege to get me out of my house so I made me one

Cant remember feeling as happy as this in a looong time.
I just gotta keep working the steps, going to meetings and speaking with all of you so that i keep growing in my sobriety.
Lets keep going at it!
Hope you all have a great sunday!
Stay strong,
Bart

Day 1. Owning it, not going to get down on it. I got to 18 days which was absolutely huge for me. Before this, 13 days was my longest stretch in 10 years so instead of shame, I am focused on the positives and am mentally dusting myself off and standing up. There is a lot to use and build on here. I have learnt a lot about sobriety and myself which I will carry forward into this next stretch. I have enquired about some paid therapy as the waiting list could be years and I feel like this is vital to my staying sober for the long term.

- Coffee. Had fun with my bestie yesterday driving around, getting
and some more plants for our balconies, including a nice big mint like @Yoda-Stevie suggested. It smelled so nice in the car already. Today the weather is even better so now I’m getting ready to 
a good one. Sober and clean. Have as good a Sunday as you all can friends. Love from my balcony. Fresh bay leaves are so much nicer to cook with!
@MagicILY & @Freeyourmind Huge congrats the both of you! 6 Months yeah!
@SoberWalker Have fun on your hike today Claudia. Nice
.
@Best_Me On you go. Glad you’re right back to it. I do hope you’ll be able to learn some stuff from this episode too, just like you learned about sobriety before. That way what just happened won’t be all for nought.

Day 827
Still feeling completely fried but a bit less stressed out. Sun’s out so I think I’ll head out for an early walk after my morning coffee.
No plans for today which is good as I just want to rest. I’ll read, probably watch a movie, get some fresh air, maybe a nap. That will do me for today.
Have a good day folks

Hey everyone just wanted to seriously say thank you for the love and support. Knowing I have a safe place to come feels amazing, I’m sorry I don’t answer some or the questions after I make a topic I really don’t do it on purpose or am avoiding the qs, I just get so side tracked and walk away and come back to all these replies and my mind just gets so over whelmed. I am gonna stay but I think for now I will just snoop around and be quiet and not post because I really do not want to go against the community standards. I will be back and I will be the powerful mike that I know I can be, but untill then I will keep just looking around. Much love everyone, thank you again

Man, meeting my in-laws brings up so many feelings of inadequacy. The whole family plays tennis today, so not long coversations, quick exchanges between games, but I always get weirdly triggered, and not entirely sure why.

Day 506.
The only easy day was yesterday.
I don’t want to spend this day sober. I feel so lonely. Went on a little hike with my brother and his family this morning. That was nice.
But as they were making plans for the afternoon i felt the loneliness coming. I texted a friend to see if he’d want to spent some time together on this beautifull day. Nope. He had other plans.
I don’t really have any other friends that want to hang out with me. No girlfriend, my parents are gone for the day so now I sit here in the living room.
I made myself open the forum and do a check in.
My old friend alcohol is calling me hard… he would never make me feel lonely…
