Checking in 2nd time. Been a good day. Spent whole day with family, aunt, cousins and their Kids. I actually wanted to stay home because of anxiety, but I did go and are happy for I did. Only time I was thinking of drinking was when we sat down in the restaurant to eat, even no one ordered alcohol, I wanted, and felt like throwing away a meal out when not drinking. But I did not drink

Just into 34 days. AA this morning and chilled out at home today. Heading to IKEA tomorrow with my daughter to buy a wardrobe. It’ll be a bigger job taking old wardrobe out of the room than building the new one. Take care everyone.

@KellyKelly Always play the tape forward. Having “a couple”, looks fun, but for me, having a couple always leads to a terrible craving for more and more and more.
@Tomek Take care!
@Its_me_Stella Exactly, we need to always be vigilant and have our tools ready.
@anon83587935 Wonderful! Congratulations.
@Bigbear That sounds like more than ts can deal with. Make sure u get support.
@Soundlab Keep fighting. 17 days is a great start!
@littlemisschatterbox Nice catch!

Day 356
Felt rough as old boots yesterday, due to vaccine the day before. Spent a lot of time laying down, and really remembered my drinking days. The kids laying next to me, endlessly watching screens because if I’m not up to suggesting things that it what they revert to.
At one point my daughter was looking through old photos and videos on my phone. She found a video of two years ago, her dancing with her friend at pick-up time at nursery school. “This day… oh, I shouldn’t talk about it” she said. Of course, I had been half-cut when I picked her up. And that day had been an exhibition of the kids’ art stuff. Even on a day that should have been about her, I drank.
Grateful to have seen a meme earlier “don’t live in the past, it was a lesson, not a life sentence”

Sorry I’m so late to the party Ethan. The first year celebration should go on a really long time anyway. It has been a pleasure having you here always lending us a very positive word. And always picking us up and supporting us. I wish you all the very best in your sobriety. And thanks for the music. Don’t know if I’ll get into those 9 Inch Nails. 
But you’ve turned me on to some real good stuff. A Rose For Epona.
Thank you sir. And congratulations again on your first year of freedom!

Checking in from Santa Monica. Big day for me. Flew out here sober. First time flying sober for me in probably 40 years. So I’d say it was a big day. I did not like the crowds of people and all the full flights. A bit nerve wracking. But not worth throwing away 577 days of sobriety.
Now I’m alone at the condo and it’s the first time I’ve been alone sober. Usually that would be a great big Hall Pass to get all liquored up. I have no desire to do that that today. Probably not tomorrow either. I’m going to so enjoy not having that severe hangover tomorrow morning.
Sober is worth it and so am I.
And so are you.
Man I really wish I never got sober.
Said nobody ever
And poor Benson has been waiting by the back door all day for me to come home
