Thanks Sarah.
But wait a minute!! You did Vegas!! And you didnāt drink?? Thatās actually possible?? Atta girl 
Looks like you got some strong super sober power there. This will be my first flight sober coming up. Iām pretty sure Iām ready for that. Who knows, maybe Vegas some day. I bet I wouldnāt blow as much money in Vegas being sober. Nice to see you back. Canāt wait for your party next week. 
Youāve come a long way.
Youāre awesome.

S and youtube a bed time, for me it becomes another obsession almost, Iāve been lkeeping an eye on my digital balance weekly Iām spending 35%of my week in the phone I want to get it down to around 20% if not lower a week. Il defenitely try the digital detox so did you still use t s whilst you did it or not

You know the emotional impact is worse than anything. An your correct physical pain is really bad but itās scary because the pain meds they have me on have been my DOC for 40+yrs. And thats all I have right now. If you want to talk more we can PM no need to go in to it here donāt want to seem like were taken over the room or changing the thread. And be thrown in exileā¦lol My situation is so complicated that it seems like I take over when Iām not really trying to cuz I tried to explain in detail and I donāt want to step on no oneās toes or feelings because my responses are so long is someone flags me if that makes sense. Sometimes I get on here and itās easier not to say anything here are the last couple daysā¦ scared that Iām going to overtake the thread by accident speaking what I want to speak in my heart.

Lol, I live in Vegas, I did San Diego sober though! I lived in SD in my 20ās and ohhh man did the drinking memories hit me like a freight train while I was there! I couldnāt escape them.
Iāve been sober in the ācity of sinā for 359 days now. 
Sooooo close!!

Day 66 AF
Tough couple of days with some family issues. Had to make a quick dash to hospital Sunday Evening so I was proud of myself that I was able to do that. Usually I wouldnāt drive in the evening because Iād have alcohol in my system. A positive note to reflect on during a difficult time.

To be honest, I feel that way all the time. Just ask @Dazercat 
But seriously, I do understand what youāre saying about your situation and how complicated it is. I will PM you.

I logged on once in one week, so technically yes. But in comparison to multiple times a day , 7 days a week , once in 7 days was a vast improvement

Vegas sober would be interesting. Last time i was there i was shotgunning beers in a bathroom Stall trying to hide my drinking from my wife. It was her 40th birthday and we landed there on our way to Cali. I sure was a sack of shit.

So interesting thing happened today.
I got an offer to play in a metal band that is local but touring I talked with them today he said the drummer died from an overdose right before covid hit so they went on a hiatus, very prominent, on the east coast
But has shows booked starting in the fall, we are gonna meet up and see where I fit in I got a set list and about 8 original songs he has to finish their new album,
We spent about 45 minutes on the phone, he hears some of my samples and is super excited to get to work, I was very clear with him that Iām in recovery and he was like great man. Hated dealing with Drunks on stage yeah well I was one of them.
I canāt wait to see where this goes, I miss playing out, and being a household name, nothing is more satisfying than saying I pay the bills with a guitar in my hand

Oh ok. That clears it up. So hard to keep track of everyone. Glad you survived the drinking memories of SD. 6 more days 
@Dan531 last Vegas trip for me was a bunch of high school guys reunion 11 years ago. 6 of us had turned 50 
I think we had a great time. Itās hard to remember. It could be really fun trying it sober and seeing some shows and eating out and playing a few slots.

Day 359.79
Oh man am I driving the struggle bus today. Its these damn hormones. I had yesterday and today to move out of my in laws house and yesterday I had nooo energy. I threw some boxes in the hall so that I looked busy and then layed in bed all day. Today I managed to move 3 car loads full but I am done. Iām just exhausted and my whole face is one big pimple. Im leaving for my moms at 4:30am and havenāt packed. I cant find anything to pack cuz I boxed everything up. Lol. Oh man. Just gotta make it through the day.
It was our last day to go to the gym since I put our gym membership on hold and I started driving there and then turned around and went homeā¦ to lay in bed. My daughter is gonna be so mad when she wakes up because she is in love with this boy who is there tonight and she wonāt see him again. Oh wellā¦
Iām definitely not kicking ass today. Butā¦ thatās life. Some days are good and some days are a struggle, but every day sober is better than any day drinking. Plus, no hang over.

Thank you. I need to work on developing a sense of self worth. Also need to set appropriate boundaries. Starting to realise that I have major codependency issues. Lots to work on 
Good to start becoming aware of all this.

@apes2020 , missed you while you were on sabbatical from social media. Good for you. I need to take a sabbatical as well.
Checking in somewhere after 4 months consecutive days, biggest accomplishment is that I didnāt drink today, and probably not drinking tomorrow. Love to you all!

Day 867. The man, the myth, the legendā¦got some terrible news about my best friend today. Handling it the best way I can. There is that in which we can control, that in which we canāt and that in which we can influence. I am being optimistic, being proactive, & continuing to not drink through this time. Send a prayer up for my pal & Iā¦weāll be needing them in the days ahead
