I didn’t drink today. And I’m probably not drinking tomorrow.
As long as I stay grateful, I’ll stay sober

@CATMANCAM well done on 200 days 
@dalex77 lol now that decaf is so wicked! Nothing worse to me then decaffeinated 
hope trauma subsides 
@Mno those type of dreams really unsettle me, pleased you got out 
you mean alot to us… hope you got some more sleep
@Squirt congrats on 400 days, you done the right thing putting emotional stability over finances, it works i can tell you i changed careers 10 months ago losing lots of money, but i am happier for sure and i budget better now. Good luck
Thank god its Friday, last full week will be done. Only 3 days left next week. Nearly wrapped up. Regarding new job, references have been sent just pray i get over the DBS hurdle. Aside that bit of stress doing well, relishing sober days.
Have a good day all of you .

Day 388.
A bit of a work-a-thon today - from sun-up to sun-down. At least it afforded me a distraction from the other stressors. And that’s okay, as long as it’s a short-term thing, and not a long-term coping mechanism. I will say I prefer a good night’s sleep to self-medication with late nights and overtime!
On that note, let’s call this one done (at least here), hey friends? Time to lay my head down. On to another one tomorrow! We can do it, I believe in us.
G’night - big love to all 
@Rockstar24777 definitely not a flake, big bro. you have over 400 days of amazingness, and any one who thinks otherwise can deal with me! 
@Singtone 200! Holy moly! I might’ve bought my first car for that much money! Not recently, and let it be said your sobriety is much more robust and intact than said Datsun 510! 
Congrats friend. Thanks for your genuine, supportive shares on here.
@SoberWalker oh, enjoy! Beautiful pic. Can’t wait for the stories, lovely!
@Mephistopheles and @Jennajen Enjoy your time together!

Day 11. Didn’t really feel like the gym this morning when I woke up…. Even more reason to be sat outside the gym waiting for it to open.
Happy Friday everyone

@dalex77 Honestly Dan, I don’t understand why so surprised… there is no decent coffee in the US 
I feel you. Decaf is bad, weak coffee even worse LOL
I hope you survive this ordeal. Hit up meetings, daily if needed. Maybe there’s even a CAA somewhere

Day 881 alcohol and the big one: 365 days cigarette/tobacco free!!!
Now free from over 20 years of smoking.
I’m so glad to have kicked that particular bad habit. Much like with alcohol, I got to the point where I just had enough. It took many efforts, various methods, but it finally stuck. And actually it was going cold turkey that eventually worked.
I have been thinking about the future a bit recently, but in a healthier way. I know we are told ODAAT and all that, but there is a point in recovery where it becomes possible to look beyond that. To look forward. I’m in a transition phase in my life for sure, what with the house move, some changes at work and a few other minor things. As a result I feel inspired to try some other new things, experiment and maybe add some more beneficial actions to my life.
I have been trying yoga, just a few videos online for now. I’m hoping it will help with my posture and some back pain issues I have. I’m enjoying it and ultimately I would like to go to some classes. I think this would be a really good way of re socialise following lockdowns. I’m also considering joining an exercise class and cancelling the gym. I don’t really enjoy the gym so perhaps a regular class with others would be more enjoyable for me? Worth trying right.
I’m also looking into moving to a vegetarian diet. Because I do keto I have to be careful that I can get my macros right without meat (and not having to eating a dozen eggs a day!!). Maybe do a month and see how it works for me. I need to research and plan more before doing that tho.
I’m just trying to think ahead, get my life in a position to handle winter better. None of us know exactly what next winter will be like, but one thing is for sure, I don’t want another like the last. I really struggled.
Have a good day folks

Day 22. Put to the test last night. Some neighbors showed up. 1 had been drinking quite a bit. We always offer him a homebrew when he comes over (especially since I don’t drink anymore). 2nd neighbor shows up and wife offers him a bourbon. I have to go to bed now, it’s late and I had been up for 19 hours. Do you think I could sleep? What a frickin night. Got about 3.5 hours. What’s up with that? I had no issue they came over and no desire to drink which I am proud of but why couldn’t I get to sleep? I am so tired but have to start my day. TGIF?
