Yes this photo is really making me question that poll on cargo pants.

If pants are over rated, pants that carry explosive shit against your legs are very over rated.

:sweat_smile:

@CaptAZ
David hope the burns are not feeling terrible today.

Day 340

Almost the weekend so Iā€™m pumped for that but also getting things together in my life and moving on its definitely been scary but Iā€™ve overcome a lot of it without booze. My anxiety was through the roof earlier this week now Iā€™m back on track to crushing my goals and dreams, donā€™t let anything get in your way from achieving success :metal: hope everyone is doing well and has a great day!

Iā€™d say share more Kevin. Be with your peers. One day at a time, donā€™t go it alone and all that. Here or elsewhere. Classic case of trying to do it alone (or am I mistaken?)

Ask Jan (crazydutchie). Heā€™ll tell you something rather different :crazy_face: :sunglasses:. I honestly think there are nice people (and not nice people) everywhere. Amsterdam as a town is pretty laid back.

Checking in day 348
We are moving back into our house (the one I have been Airbnbing) so I will be busy the next couple of days. Looks like we will be in Vegas for another 15+ months. My daughters dad accepted a job here doing kidney dialysis and the training is 15 months before he can be relocated. (To NC :crossed_fingers:) but I guess Vegas isnā€™t so bad. The only thing I am missing here are some friends. With my daughter starting preschool in August and yoga training beginning in August as well, I am hopeful. Also, I will finally have some freedom to go to AA meetings and make some sober friends (I hope) so things should be looking up.
Anyway, thatā€™s my life update. We are leaving Saturday to go to San Diego for a week. And then I am going to visit my mom in SC for 3 weeks.
My whole body is so sore. Iā€™ve been going hard at the gym. Moving is going to be a pain in the butt. Lol.
Some days I feel ā€œnormalā€ā€¦ like, I get a glimpse of my old self before I got so caught up in addictionā€¦ (only a stronger better version of me, of course)ā€¦ Proof that life does go on. :+1::+1: Keep going!!

332 days no alcohol.
300 days no cocaine. :raised_hands:t2:
26 days no binge-eating.

Watched part of another movie this morning, itā€™s another one about Aliens, quite long though so I havenā€™t watched it all yet, saving the last hour for tomorrow. Itā€™s called Tomorrow War and is on Prime.

Had ED therapy today, we reflected on my progress and talked about a few things that have came up during sessions, and challenged some of my beliefs. We then continued my life map (of adverse experiences) and we will be completing the rest next week in our final session, then picking out how some of those experiences have created various needs that I have been trying to fulfil with substances and food, and identify how else I may be able to meet my needs. Sounds good to me.

Logging in to see my counter at 300 days for no cocaine really made me smile today. :blush::raised_hands:t2:

Thatā€™s how we do it, pull those fricken reins back in tight like we had them those first few months. If anyone knows how to get through tough times itā€™s you. When you have a minute let us know whatā€™s up, best to letā€™s that shit out.

We got you.

So interesting how when one is in pain they quickly turn the finger.

Hoping everything given to Luna helps and she is brighter tomorrow.

Big hugs.
