Day 405 clean and sober today. Got invited by a girl I went to high school with to hangout and go to the museum but had to turn her down due to me not having the money to afford to go. In regards to what she may think it’s embarrassing but to how I think about it is it is what it is. I’m not ready to do things like this yet. My life is in transition right now and I’m ok with that but others may look at me like a flake or a loser but I know it’s not the case. Anyway, quality problem for sure. Actually not a problem, I’m learning to love myself no matter what. I don’t know if that made any sense at all lol. I hope everyone has an amazing day today, love you guys!!!

Day 635. I struggled for a little over a month but it has passed, I’m truly grateful to be living a sober life.
I read this thread and I’m inspired by the strength so many of you show. The horrible things that life throws at us and yet most of you stay sober, it really is remarkable, you are remarkable.
My experience has been that this sober journey has highs and lows. Battle through those lows, they will end, they will pass.

Day 358
Yesterday was weird. Was clocked in for 20 minutes at work and then the internet went down. When I first started working remotely at the start of the pandemic we lost internet a lot and I would use it as an excuse to drink all day. I didn’t have the urge to drink but felt pretty restless knowing I was supposed to be working but was unable to.
After a few hours puttering around the garden I decided to use the time to make some phone calls I’ve needed to. Sat down and had a notebook ready where the phone number for the orthopedic specialist I needed to call was written. Got to talking with my SO for a moment and my phone started ringing. The number matched the number written in my notebook. I had submitted an appointment request form on their website last week and they just happened to call me right at that time.
So I got my MRI scheduled for next week Friday. The moment of truth - finally going to figure out my hip & knee issues. It makes me nervous and I spent the rest of the day cleaning in a bit of a manic way until the internet came back right before bed. Coffee now, a new sober day! Hopefully no more internet problems.

Checking in, day 259 no booze, day 9 no smoke. It’s the last evening of our „holiday”, tomorrow we’ll go to pick up the kids. I have some work to finish and then will probably go for a walk, watch some episodes of peaky blinders, maybe cut my hair before sleep and go to bed early because I couldn’t sleep last night.
I finished learning Sunny, it still has to be practiced - it wasn’t easy for me, because I’m really not used to play chords.

Checking in at the end of day 200.
First day of lockdown and everything that it brings. A bit frustrating, to say the least.
Played cards with the family this evening. Precious time.
Hopefully things will settle now that this milestone has been and gone.
Have a great sober day, wherever you are.
Goodnight.

Can someone please send me a link to the gratitude thread? I’m useless at navigating in here. 
I tried the search thing, but I got too many results. I was slightly overwhelmed. 
I’m old, I need the human touch.

Thanks, Tomek.
Didn’t think it was possible. Even now I’m looking at it in disbelief and thinking that they must be someone else’s numbers.

Thank you, Rosa.
I still think to myself seeing 100+ numbers that wow, they are rocking it, how cool it must feel to be there, I wish I could reach that one day. I guess my inner counter stopped at around 80-100 days as it stopped at around 25-28 years of age.
I hope you’ll find a way that fits you to celebrate it!
