Checking in at the end of day 180.
180 feels like a substantial number. Iā€™m happy with that.
Today is Golden Friday. The best day of the year for anyone in education. The start of a 7 week holiday. :boom::muscle:t2:
It is compromised this year by the fact that we canā€™t travel and that Singapore is in partial lockdown, but it is still great.
It provides a big challenge to sobriety though. Iā€™ve felt it today.
Still, Iā€™m going to bed sober, so things have started well.
Have a great sober day, wherever you are.
Goodnight. :zzz::sleeping:

Lmao @Girlinterrupted you crack me up!!! :rofl::rofl::rofl: I have to admit Iā€™m officially addicted to the meme thread, I might have to add it to my daily counter lol. I freaking love it, everyone is so freaking funny!!! :rofl:

Anyway, day 385 clean and sober today. Showed up on the job site at 6:00am and after an hour the Superintendent kicked us loose for the rest of the day with pay!!! I was sooooo tired from the new sleep medicine that they put me on that I almost called off work today but I told my brain to stfu lol and went anyway. What a pleasant surprise. It reminds of I think an old AA/NA sayingā€¦ ā€œsuit up and show up, God will do the restā€. I hope everyone has a wonderful day today, I really love you guys a lot!!! :sunglasses::metal:t2:

Girl, you got this! I got you!! :heartpulse:
Plus itā€™s super fun to people watch haha. I realized when I started people watching that sure, some people got hammered, but most didnā€™t. It was just me. I thought I was keeping up with everyone lol. Ah, the drunken mind is a joke yo!

Day 338
Not excited for this weekend. Not a fan of being around groups of drunk people as it is, even more so when they are playing with fireworks.
@icebear Im also getting out for a long morning bike. Be safe out there! Iā€™m already seeing way too many people posting on social media that they have begun day drinking.

Saw this on IG this morning between all the nonsense:

You had me really fucking confused a while ago. I thought I had mixed you up with someone else called Beth, until I saw someone else call you Beth :joy:

Youā€™re so right! I mean I do have a lot of heavy drinkers in my familyā€¦ slurring, falling, and nodding off is not unusual - itā€™s part of what made me think my drinking was normal for so long. But also many that will come and not drink, or just have 1 or 2 throughout the whole afternoon. Iā€™ll be super busy cooking and playing games but will definitely be checking in throughout the day. I appreciate you!

I have to wait 5 days and Iā€™ll have a new one. Itā€™s what it is. In fact losing it is a blessing in disguise, as today might have been the best day of the year for a bike ride to the beach. Around 20C, a mix of sun and clouds, not much wind and what wind there was, was blowing from the sea so biking home I had it in my back. Just an awesome day all around.

@anon74766472 sorry the roads are so dangerous :pensive:
@Girlinterrupted congrats on 400 days :tada:

326 days no alcohol.
294 days no cocaine.
20 days no binge-eating.

Still craving yum yums, feel worried that I may cave on my birthday this Sunday and order them, part of me thinks it would be okay as a one-off because itā€™s not like Iā€™ll be having cake, but I really donā€™t want to reset or risk triggering a whole bingeing cycle. I should have discussed it with the therapist but I didnā€™t think.

Made it back to the gym and swimming today, pleased about that after therapy day off. Itā€™s been very humid here today so I was already sweating before I left home, I didnā€™t feel like putting my gym clothes on and getting even more sweaty, but Iā€™m glad I did, Iā€™m probably alone on this but I often wish the swimming pool was colder :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

8 days and 20 hours so heading into day 9 I geuss lol, time really seems like itā€™s just flying by. Itā€™s a rainy crappy day in good ole tupper lake, the girls got both theyre new babies today, Iā€™m gonna clean the house in a little bit or clean it to the best of my ability itā€™s wild how hard of a task it is for me to clean to with my ADHD. I get so lost and side tracked and just confused on where stuff should go. But it is what it is, Iā€™m gonna crank the tunes and do what I can, and then maybe draw some stuff up. Hope everyone has a good day

4 Days down. My headā€™s a mess and my life is a mess. Addiction has me back living with my mother. Iā€™m so ashamed and embarrassed about this, but I know why it is so. Iā€™m doing the 90 meetings in 90 days this time. So far so good. Left to my own devices I always eventually fail. I am grateful that I am allowed home for a few hours after work to be about the kids. Although I feel like a complete failure, I do believe that if I put in sincere daily work on myself and accept the pain that it brings I will find my way to a better life. Love the way everyone here is able to share the highs and lows so well. Hope I get better at it, and join you on your way.
