day 330
7 July is Tanabata festival. It is a big deal in my town, usually a 3 day celebration. Just some online events this year, but here are some pics and explanation from the internet.

Tanabata (Japanese: 恟ćŖ恰恟 or äøƒå¤•, meaning ā€œEvening of the seventhā€), also known as the Star Festival (ꘟē„­ć‚Š, Hoshi matsuri), is a Japanese festival originating from the Chinese Qixi Festival. It celebrates the meeting of the deities Orihime and Hikoboshi (represented by the stars Vega and Altair respectively).

ā€¦1202. First my appologies this isnt really sobriety related, however, with everyone here, I was hoping someone might know. Anyone know or are a part of a good photography forum or online group. Something I did a lot of in my younger years and have started dabbling in. Thank you.

Day 8*
Iā€™m feeling anxious today. I didnā€™t mind being around drunk people in my sobriety after about 4/5 months last time. I just think it was too much for being only a week sober. Iā€™m definitely going to take care of myself today. Feeling a little fragile and definitely wonā€™t put myself in that situation again for awhile.

I donā€™t but am also interested. I recently purchased a new Fuji and their forum has been helpful. I also subscribed to their tips emails where they send informative articles on different photography topics each week.

Fortunately/unfortunately, everyone is different.
I stopped counting the resets, but took hope from those that shared their perseverance.
From the time I joined here, to it stickingā€¦. 7 months. Some folks join when they are 100% ready and able to stop. Not me.

Have you tried the online (free) ā€˜30 day experimentā€™ by Annie Grace?
Itā€™s somewhat controversial, but it helped me tremendously. Like most advice, take what you want and leave the rest.

Donā€™t let it way on you, probably a half dozen for me.

Checking in at the end of day 185.
Had a great day today. Went for a walk/run with my youngest son this morning. We walked down the hills and ran up them. I felt like a million dollars. Itā€™s the first time Iā€™ve ran really since losing a bit of weight. I discovered that I could still do it. Iā€™ve been elated all day. Feel like a kid again.
Friends came over this afternoon/evening. My friend drank, but his wife (who is also my friend) didnā€™t. It was interesting. I think he felt a bit awkward, but he pushed through. :joy: My wife had the option of drinking but decided not to, which made me happy.
Have a great sober day, wherever you are.
Goodnight. :sleeping::zzz:

You are definitely not over reacting as far as Luna is concerned. Those symptoms are nothing to mess around with. Those symptoms can cause fatty liver disease and thatā€™s not good. Donā€™t mean to scare ya. Iā€™m so glad she ate.

Checking in on day 544. Iā€™m doing okay. Still going to therapy, doing things I love to keep me busy and distracted from drinking. I feel like I have a pretty good grasp on my drinking thoughts and cravingsā€¦
Could change at any minute thoughā€¦
BUT! Iā€™m very gratefull to be sober and alive!!

Keep on fighting guys and girls!!

Midday on day 3. Had a crazy stressful morning,so Iā€™m checking in. Reminding myself of how anxious and angry Iā€™ve been and picking up will NOT help how I feel. Promised my 5 yo Iā€™d make spaghetti tonight and weā€™ll have cookies and milk for dessert. Looking forward to that and Iā€™ll do a brain dump in my journal as soon as I get home.

13 days. Heading into 14, girls are home being turds already. Iā€™m not to sore today, canā€™t wait for my gym membership. Dude never showed for tattoo yesterday, which annoys because I was sitting around waiting for him. If that stuff happens alot I will start charging a deposit to hold spots. Itā€™s a rainy crappy day
