Yeah Iām over chatting away with her this evening. It is what it is.
@MrsOdh beautiful post 
Iām so happy you had such a wonderful day and that things are better now than they were back then, you deserve it. 
@KellyKelly sorry to hear, welcome back 
@Lilemm congrats on 3 weeks 
@Sunny11 congrats on 11 months
340 days no alcohol.
308 days no cocaine.
34 days no binge-eating.
I was up and out early today, my dad and step family were out of squash (cordial), so I went to the supermarket at 7am and bought them 6 different bottles all kinds of different flavours, and a variety of oranges. Delivered it to their doorstep at 8:30am while they were still in bed (they rise about midday), then headed for my shot and blood tests, then home for breakfast.
Had to go back to the supermarket again at 10am because the electric toothbrush I bought came with a shaver point plug, so I needed to buy an adapter. Itās charged now ready to use before bed, Iām excited about this.
After all the walking this morning my feet are really hurting so I gave the gym a miss but still went swimming and swam for a bit longer than usual. On my way home I went back to the supermarket a third time because my dad and his family ran out of toilet roll, so I bought them a pack of 24 rolls and went to deliver those too, they live in a different town to me.
It feels good to be able to help people. My dad and step family are making slow but steady improvement (they all have Covid) and Iām grateful for that.
Wishing you all wonderful weekends

Checking in on day 33, was abit of an oh right day . Realised how not drinking alcohol does actually isolate you , not that I mind , well not a lot but it was an , Iām here people , moment . A get together was arranged at a local pub and as I have spent a few weeks not drinking I was passed over for an invite . It was actually discussed in front of me and I was just dismissed. I was abit taken back then thought , itās ok , I would be challenged anyhow, still hurt abit , felt abit lonely but I will put my sobriety first .

666 days. Failed to catch all 6ās on my counter. I tried though. I looked at it a few times while working and then missed it.
Taking my daughter to the carnival tonight. Iām tired from a long stressful week at work and the last thing I want to do is walk through a huge crowd of people in the terrible heat. It wonāt be as bad as it was during my using days so I have that going for me.

I did! I wasnāt crazy about it because I wanted to train people for competition, not noobs. I didnāt have the patience for people who literally could not figure out how to hold a dumbbell. You know, those mammer jammers with the built in handles 
I have so much passion for it. So I hang out on a bodybuilding forum to keep up with trends. Iāll talk your ear off about the stuff if you let me

You are my hero! That sounds like something I would not enjoy as well, but your daughter will. Youāre such a good mom. You really are. I bet you end up having a decent time. Congrats on those sixes!!

You know what I noticed here? The word again! You are doing it. Youāre winning
Yes, you just have to train that brain. You are literally missing out on nothing. The stuff you think your missing is a lie that your addiction tells you. Poisoning your body isnāt missing out on anything, waking up feeling like shit 
, nah.
It may take a while, but after youāre stronger, you can still enjoy these things, but even more so because youāll be sober and actually remember.
I go out with friends and for business often, I donāt even notice people drinking anymore and people donāt give a ratās ass that I donāt. True story 
. I noticed they definitely drink a lot less than I did, how embarrassing. I thought I was just keeping up. You never have to be ashamed of the night before ever again. You never have to feel hungover. Itās legit the bomb.
It might take a minute to get there, but you will.
Youāre making it through another day, week, month. You are doing it. Your weekend is going to be amazing because you are amazing!!

Day 340
Had a weird relapse dream last night. I relapsed, had the guilt and shame, finally got to acceptance and got a few days sober, then woke up. I was convinced it had happened, and bummed about my year, but then remembered I had ārelapsedā with my sister, who a. barely drinks, and b. lives in the UK!

For the past few months, I have been given opportunitiesāboth great and smallāat every turn, to practice what I have been learning over the last 20 years about standing up for myself, expressing why I am not happy, and not backing down when given vague, taciturn, and even slimy low-key emotionally manipulative / abusive replies and excuses.
So, this is my official request to: Vishnu / The Universe / Isis / Buddha / YHVH / Morgan Freeman / Zeus / Quetzalcoatl / or whichever great being is currently in charge of my case-- I am currently behind on telling people why my experience / product / contracting / service with them is unacceptable and so is their response. Please put a hold on my account until further notice. 
@Alisa Thank you. I know I have felt that way about the sick care system. Why not just walk up, punch in your symptoms/problems, then have a script come out with instructions on how to take care of yourself. At least you wouldnāt spend a huge chunk of time in a waiting from, then in the room, before you get a five minute visit. 
@Girlinterrupted Itās so nice to hear someone talk about increasing muscle mass while reducing fat percentage instead of saying āI want to get tonedā.
@Sunny11 11 months! Congrats!
@RosaCanDo Youāre doing great! I really hope the result is everything you want it to be.
@icebear Glad to hear youāre on the mend!
@Rockstar24777 Are you seeing a psychologist or a psychiatrist?
@Lisa07 So close! Well, we can just pretend youāre only going one digit after the decimal 
Great work!

Day 519~ Tuesday was my 17 month sober anniversary! 
its wild to think 17 months! 
my life is so different now. Iām so different now. Everything I do, the way I think about things, and live are completely different. Itās been a long journey of self discovery and self love. If you asked me 17 months ago if I ever thought I would be sober 4 months pregnant and being successful both with my personal and work life I would have sad no frigan way. Itās amazing once you take back control. Some days are definitely better than others but you know Iāve learned those dark days always teach me somethingā¦ in the end I learn something and improve something. Sober life is absolutely the best life.
PS: went to the doctors the other day and the baby is doing good. Annnnd itās a girl! 
I thought Iād share a bump pic.
