Ah yep OK gotcha! went over the top of my head lol ta ! X
Just checking in feeling happy. I am feeling so good inside that I did some changes outside I feel amazing even with the pain in my shoulder I have never been happier. I am so blessed to find the people here.
Congrats on 90 days @apes2020!!
Iām so freakin proud of you! Enjoy your philly cheesesteak, you deserve it.
Tomo i hit 73 . Going out with some friends tomo k1 raceway go carts lol first time ever doing something fun sober or fun in general cuz nothing is enjoyable active . Goodnite sober world
Checking in on Saturday night. Sober.
Needed to check in tonight for no particular reason. I donāt know how many days Iāve been sober, March 10 was last drink. I make the decision every morning to not drink, and fingers crossed Iāll make that same decision the next day. I really canāt believe how differently I see and feel things. Without a doubt, this community is a major help in making that daily decision. Wish I could express better how important each of you are to this Kansas chick. Sleep well!
Hey Rich, welcome in!!!
Just checked out a bit of your story, glad you made it back. Congrats on your 102 days.
Congrats on your commitment one day at a time, March 10th was many sleeps ago.
Good morning, just checking in .
Congratulations April!!!
Shit Mike I missed your 30 days bro sorry!!! Congratulations buddy youāre killing it!!!
Not only do we like you we LOVE YOU!!!
That sounds great, Tyler. So happy for you. Feel for you and the train
And with every time you do something like this itāll get easier as you know you already did it.
Meeting went well tonight. One of the guys was like why donāt you chair I think it would benefit you. I wanted to say no but didnāt, Iām all over the place when I tell my story lol, but it was nice to get it out. And then we read about step twelve and literally there was everything I just said about me playing god and just a bunch of stuff. But of course as soon as I left I went through a little cruise through lake placid and you just see all these ppl out having fun, standing outside the bars having fun and my mind starts wandering and I just canāt help but think why canāt I be normal and just go out and have fun and be normal like those ppl, why do I always have to over do it. All those people just seem so care free, Iām sure some of them wish they werenāt doing that stuff and weāre sober but idk so many ppl just seem happy with alcohol in there life and manage to be successful still. Fuck I canāt be successful sober or drunk lol. Idk I came home made a smoothie ate some dinner and watched a movie. Take care
Day 390.
Such a good day. A good long sleep-in, lotsa catch-ups with pals near and afar. Oh, and I turned M-be-free51 today! My whole 50th year was alcohol-free. Astonishing. Last yearās bday was still in early days of sobriety, but the restrictions made it a bit easier. Tomorrow night is something of a reunion dinner with colleague pals. Some of these people I have not seen F2F in months. I anticipate it will be a booze fest. But me? Iām just that much older than them that I can get away with being 51 years old AF ā old as fuck and alcohol free.
@Hopeful777 put it better than I can: Love the new feeling of looking forward to things for what they are. Not looking forward to events so i can drink, and losing every bit of value of the activity.
Iām going to enjoy another good sleep. And a great wake up. Coffee on my wee patio garden, listening to the birds, coaxing the bloomsā¦ ā¦sipping from my new mug!
Whatever day it is, we did another one, friends. Letās go do this again tomorrow. I just know we can.
Gānight, big love to all.
@CATMANCAM ah, I knew it! so good to hear, friend.
@Girlinterrupted this isnāt the point, but you know what? I like you. And none of us really fit in. Which means we all do, you know?
I beg to differ. Today was a raging success for you, Mike. Every sober day is.
Proud of you.
Day 70 I guess. Still salty about wanting to add the 250 before that. It has been a pretty good day. Feeling ambivalent and pissed at mosquito bites on my feet and toes. Goodnight folks.
Day 13. Bit of a shaky one last night but full of positivity again this morning. Just taken the pooch out and broke my new hiking boots in at the same time. In 2 weeks time Iāll be going up another mountain, all stuff that drinking and using me would only ever dream about. Have a happy and sober day everyone
