Checking in daily to maintain focus #31 (Part 2)

Hey what’s up everyone, came home from the fireworks girls went home at 11. I made a nice bacon wrapped steak, some cheesy Mexican corn, mash tatoes, and several Shirley temples and watched the tomorrow war. I headed up to bed around 330, couldn’t sleep and haven’t slept just kind of thinking alot about idk everything I geuss lol. Kind of annoyed with myself even tho the fireworks were awesome, I was doing some of my old behaviors playing things over and over in my head, man that girls beautiful, man I wish I had a girl who is sober here with me to enjoy this. Normal sober stuff I geuss, but still bugs me when I over dwell on it. Rather then being in the moment. So idk I’m gonna go for a rip on the harley, I have a tattoo at ten I’ll post pics when it’s done. Much love have a great sober day everyone

Checking in on day 274, 9 months yesterday. Finishing my 2nd sober vacation, first 4th of July, and first amusement park visit sober. It was much more enjoyable than having to rush home to have enough time to get wasted.

I thought I had to work today, didn’t sleep at all last night. I got to work and the doors were locked. Yay!

Day 62 Tired of a weekend full of kids activities. My little boy had the time of his life, so I’m happy.
Yesterday it was the death anniversary of my mom, she passed away in 2001. We didn’t had a connection or bonding, because of her illness, she suffered from schizofrenia. But since my dad died 4 years ago, there is just no one left who remembers her death anniversary. That saddens me a bit.
But as I said, we had a wonderful weekend, glad to experience so much joy with family and friends.

Hope everyone enjoys the day. Much love!

Checking in at the end of day 183.
First actual day of holiday today, so I did about 5 hours of work to ensure that I can rest easy for a couple of weeks. Such is life.
Went for a walk with a mate this afternoon, and played Scotland Yard with the family this evening. :boom::muscle:t2:
The idea of taking a month off sobriety has been plaguing me for the last few days. It means that I am getting lots of cravings and feeling like I have to make a daily decision. It’s exhausting. It feels like week one again.
My wife is offering no resistance whatsoever, which isn’t helping.
Anyway, I’m going to bed sober tonight, so that’s a win. All I can do is today.
Have a great sober day, wherever you are.
Goodnight. :zzz::sleeping:

Day 346
Mountain trip was a success!
Last year when we were up there I hid in my room while everyone went downstairs and drank and socialized. This year I went down there (with my bubbly water in hand) and actually socialized. Wasn’t awkward at all and nobody tried to pressure me. My mom in law got so wasted you couldn’t understand a word she was saying. I was glad I was there to help her up the stairs. My daughters dad got so drunk he woke up at noon and missed mountain biking with everyone else, but turns out everyone else was too hung over to go anyways.
I woke up hangover free and did yoga in the forest. Man, I feel so lucky to be free from all that! FREE! Seriously, that experience made me so grateful that I don’t drink anymore.
Then we came home and our new neighbors went HAM on the fireworks. Ive never seen that many in all my life! It was a good day. I have a feeling today will be a good day too, sober. :blush:
@Misokatsu Preach it girl! I feel you!!
@liv_m HAPPY BITRTHDAY!! :tada::kissing_heart::heart:
@apes2020 Your bird posts make my day! What a dream come true!

En minäkään. Varaani-moodi päällä koko ajan. Tosin kaikki on suhteellista, kun miettii hellelukemia esim rapakon takana asuvien toipujatoverien kotiseuduilla… mut joo kyllä se puolen vuoden pimeys ja routa jo häämöttää :grin:

I love everything about this! Good for you for staying sober while being around others drinking and also still enjoying yourself. Being out in nature has been one of my favorite new hobbies in sobriety.

Checking in on day 5 !
All seems to be ok today about alcohol and craving.
On the other hand just arrived result of biopsy of my wife , it is breast cancer , unfortunately.
There will be surgery as soon as possible , probably within a couple of weeks .
Very sad for this … best I can do is to put all of myself to stay sober and support her , I think!

Love to all of you my friends
