Checking in 580 by midnight. Probably be midnight by the time I finish chatting. @I.cant.We.can :rofl::rofl:
Spent about 12 hours at the hospital because of scheduling cluster fucks and delays. And a bit of bleeding during recovery. Got home finally and noticed I still had the IV in me :scream::grimacing:. I had put my hoodie on and I guess out of sight out of mind the nurse didn’t see it and forgot to take it out. It’s always the last thing they do before you leave.

But you know what? I didn’t care about any of it. I was so fucking calm and serine it was insane. The old me would have been going ballistic when they said my surgery is at 2 instead of noon like my pre op instructions said. On the paper I showed them. The doc was late. So basically I was delayed 5 hours sitting bare ass in my hospital gown. I would have been so furious. I was a bad ass calm motherfucker. Who is this guy :thinking:

Seriously, the calmness of things in life is really one of the best parts of sobriety. Of course shit is going to still happen. But they way I react now is a bazillion times calmer.

I’m grateful to God I’m sober.
I pray my heart can stay in sinus rhythm now.
I guess we’ll see. It’s so fucking out of my hands.
Thanks for all you support guys.

And I got my wonderful daughter to take care of me :heart::heart::heart:

Sober life = awesome life

Morning all, checking in from holiday in Wales, amazingly it’s another sunny day! Going to the beach and lunch in St David’s which is the smallest city in the UK I think.

Have a good day everyone :hugs: x

Nice to see ya Chris. If lurking gets you 24 days then keep lurking. I am glad you did check in and give us all an update. Sorry about all the Covidvshit you been through. I’ve heard that can be some pretty scary shit. Im happy you have such great faith in God that he has other better plans for you. Sometimes faith is all we got. And sometimes that’s good enough.
See you around when your comfortable. You’re always welcome here.

The small things in life can be rewarding indeed :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: my favorite moment of the day lately is coming home from work, kicking my shoes off and having a long hot shower. The feel of getting out of a really hot shower and putting comfy house clothes on knowing that its time to chill and be cozzzzzy is the best feeling!!! :joy::pray::tada:

Such exciting stuff going on in your life right now A.
I wish I was young and going on your adventures. I had my day doing stuff like packing it all up and moving to different countries or states. It’s such great life learning experiences.
Congratulations on your 111 days too. You definitely may/will face some challenges. It’s good you know that and are prepared. Just always ask for help when those challenges arise. Here. Or a good friend. Or a parent. It’s worth it. I just did my first sober flight Sunday. Don’t know if you saw that or not. It really was good. I was shakey at one point and realized what was really wrong. I hadn’t eaten. So I got a sandwich and felt so much better and the connecting flight was a breeze. And no pounding headache hangover.
And I’m a little old school about telling people about my non drinking. I don’t give a shit. Fuck em. I’m proud I don’t drink anymore more and I’m telling.
:pray::heart:
Send picks when you can if your willing. Lets us know you made it.

Congratulations on your

Hopefully things will settle down some.
I wish I could come help you move. You need to get out of that place. Don’t rush it though. You’ll find something. Have the patience to find something good. And quieter with less drama.

  1. Coffee and cherries. Good breakfast combi. Another late shift to go. Gym first. Sober and clean. Waking up hang over free is still such a good feeling. Having faced some procrastination at work -and dealing with it- also puts me in a good place this morning. Have as good a day as you can friends. Clean and sober. Love from my workplace.

@apes2020 Yay you for triple digits April!
@Singtone 7 Months already Tony! Congrats!
@Beforemy30s Success A! Exciting days for you.
@anon74766472 Hope you’re feeling better today Franzi. Hugs.
@Chosen2001 Glad to see you back Chris. We can’t do this alone.
@SoberGuyUSA So what’s the count Chris? Congrats on all counters.

…1230. There will be bad days, there will be bad weeks. Work has sucked: 3 out with the flu, 1 went home early because she peed herself, 1 went out on a stretcher with a heart attack, and 1 person just didnt show up. The home office folk are coming in for a visit today. 14 open shifts. Needless to say work has sucked a big one. 1230 days sober has taught me this: the bottle solves nothing. Sobriety doesn’t promise an easy life. It promises a clear head to deal with the shit that gets thrown at you.

Stay sober friends!

Hey all, checking in on day 416. I had a random drinking dream last night where I had a single beer. Woke up pissed and upset but then realized it was just a dream…I hate the stupid drinking dreams!

Anyway, I don’t have even the slightest desire to drink in reality. So onward to another productive and hangover free day. Have a great one guys.

Great job on a dozen sober AF days Kelly.

Great share there Magicily.
It sounds to me you’ve really learned a lot. Good for you. And you know you did 8 months. No one can take that experience away from you.
I hope to see you around checking in.
Checking in here when your struggling, or even when your not is when the magic happens.

Oh, I quit making my wife martinis 580 days ago.
After awhile she quit making them too.

You know the benefits of being sober and you’re so worth having it all.
