I don’t have anything to say.
Today sobriety was just worth it. And I’m thankful for that.

Day 18. Well I actually have 11 minutes until day 18 but I’m pretty sure I’m not going to get an overwhelming urge to ruin my life before the gym so I’m claiming it now.
So last night my mate came round to watch the football, he asked if I minded him having a few beers and I said it was cool.
I’m not sure if I was testing myself or I just didn’t want to be alone? I think last time I got seven months sober under my belt I basically hid away from the world/most social situations and wasn’t living due to the fear of relapsing and it got too much. so I’m trying it a different way this time.
In short… I didn’t drink, I didn’t want to drink, I watched him get drunk and I was so glad I wasn’t. I poured away the 2 beers he very kindly left in my fridge as soon as I realised this morning which was empowering to say the least.
Wanted to get that off my chest, thanks.
Hope you’re all doing well my friends

Day 373.
Adulty stuff today. Being 50, sober, and “on the front lines of my mortality” (i.e. not many left from the generation of relatives that came before me) means getting my affairs back in order. I had them in order, sort of, but the updates over the last decade were more “duct tape” than “legal”. So today, and for the next while, is emails and calls and lawyer-y things. Wills and final wishes. What I want for my care should I not be able to make these decisions. All of that. Sadly, these steps are extra necessary because of family conflict, but even if there was no conflict, they would still be needed.
I could not do this if I were still drinking. Or I would do it, but get through it and lunge for the corkscrew. Probably not give things as much thought as they deserve. So, I’m pleased with myself, sure, but more than that - I’m pleased that I recognize how effing exhausting this is. This is when I need play. Not a drink. I need fun. Not fun-and-it’s-also-good-for-you, but real fun…
…like when I’m in the grocery store line up and catch a perfect string of numbers on the sober time app! I erupt in public displays of glee! Or when I log on here and see all the great catches!
@AyBee you are the master!
@C_8 please never underestimate the joy this brings 
@Its_me_Stella and @Charlie_C nice one!
@Misokatsu bring it on!
@anon9289869 343 is a string of numbers! like my 373! and you can do 345.67 if you decide you like this kind of fun! 
Life’s short, friends. And full of some hard stuff. But sobriety gets us through it, and makes space for the fun too. See you all tomorrow at recess, yeah?
G’night all - big love.

Day 1023 
Celebrated my daughters birthday with a dinner in a restaurant yesterday. It was so much fun. Drank a alcohol free beer but didn’t liked it. Next time water is good enough. Ate to much as well 
Today a day of work ahead. Just an ordinary day and that’s fine.

Morning everyone day 14, I’m just gonna check in now I haven’t been able to sleep yet. Been up all night looking at supplies, Ink, machines, you name it 
thinking of stuff I want to draw. My girls were definitely little fire crackers yesterday, I definitely had some moments got down and asked for my higher powers help, my girls giggle when I do that hehe what r u doing daddy they say, I’m like i dont even know honestly anything to stop me from yelling at you two. Saturday I’m supposed to go to a family reunion with family I’ve never met in my life, they are coming from Florida and California, all the new York family backed out last minute so anyone I would of known won’t be there now. I know I’ll be awkward but w.e I’ll still make a appearance. When my girls wake up we will pray together and have a good day. Yeah all is good in the hood, much love be grateful stay sober

Up early waiting for Elsa to move through. Skipped my morning visit to the gym as we were under a tornado warning. I love the gym, but felt staying with the fam was a better plan. Looking forward to another sober day. Grateful, grateful, grateful!

Good Lord!!! That is insane!!! I hope you are OK. I’m thinking that is a story not soon forgotten in the workplace.

- Busy day off work. I already had a new (vintage) wardrobe delivered. And visited the vet with Luna, who got a probable diagnosis of gastroenteritis, an anti-emetic shot and some pills to take home, and some light digestive food. Hoping for the best. Now I have to get ready for therapy. No hangover to take along so that’s very good indeed. I’m sober and clean and that’s all I want to be. One day at a time.
PS. Had dinner with my old mates yesterday and got into a discussion on drinking and how the host felt sorry I and another mate both quit drinking, making these dates less enjoyable for him. He got pretty irritated when I talked about my health and about addiction. He’s still so happy to be drinking and it’s so good for his mental health and why did I have to quit I’m not an alcoholic and blablabla. Well. There’s a reason we don’t do this dinners too often anymore. Too bad. My sobriety is worth more than that. Have a good day all. Love from Amsterdam.
