Hello friends. Checking in on day 20. Having coffee and listening to a bunch of crows arguing with one another outside. I had a weird dream about rats last night. There were, like, five rats living in my room and I was trying to figure out how to get rid of them. I ended up getting some rat poison, but then I started feeling really guilty for killing the poor rat. I was happy to wake up to a rat-free room

Hey all, checking in on day 382 alcohol free.
Iām reading a book on optimism, written by the guys who created the Life is Good T-shirt company and there was a great concept that I wanted to share with you guys; itās focused on being grateful.
The basic idea is to live your life with the phrase āget toā always in mind. For exampleā¦Instead of saying or thinking I āhave toā go to work. You think I āget toā go to work because there are people who would do anything for a job.
The principle can really apply to anything. I āget toā go shop for food in a well stocked grocery store instead of I āhave toā go get groceries.
Iām sure you guys get the idea. Anyway, Iāve been trying to live with that mindset for a few days now and it really does make a difference. Just wanted to share with you guys.
Today I get to be sober for another beautiful day where I wonāt miss a thing.
Have a great one guys

Day 324
Even tho it is more than a month away, have been thinking about the approaching one year. Should I celebrate? How? Should I tell my husband? Would he be happy for me, or just think not drinking like I did is normal and not worth celebrating? Will I feel disappointed if I donāt celebrate? Will I feel deflated if I do celebrate and the next day is just a regular sober day?

Haha, I just saw your selfie with the LIG shirt!
Itās just another sober day, but donāt forget that itās a big deal to make it a year. Not everyone does it right away, so it is worth commemorating, IMHO. I think you should do something nice for yourself. Up to you to tell hubby, but I would hope heād be happy for you. Also, I will be celebrating as your former sober twin my āalmostā anniversary (minus a 10 day relapse)

Life throws so much shit in our way that any reason to celebrate is worth it, IMO. YOU are definitely worth it! Yet, thereās no need to build up expectations on it. I hope you can enjoy the day when it arrives

Day 11
I feel good I wake up sometimes and feel like I drank the day before. Itās weird, other than that I feel good. Last time I made it this far out was a real struggle Iām waiting for that feeling again. In a few days this will be the longest Iāve ever gone not drinking in many years. Maybe Iām more motivated. I want this so bad.

Headed to Utah today. Going to disconnect from the phone and reconnect with nature! We have this poor little baby pine tree that was left for dead around Christmas time that we replanted in our garden. Gonna give him a permanent home in Utah. My daughter named him Kristoff.
My mother in law asked me how I am coping so well (lots of drama going on, she wallows in it). She goes āIs it all the meditation and yoga?ā My answer was that I honestly wasnāt aware I wasnāt supposed to be coping. I donāt sweat the small stuff, and itās all small stuff. Lol. But she did get in my head a little bitā¦ wait a minute, am I supposed to be sad or something??
Have a great sober day yāall!
