  1. Coffee. To take some time to read through this thread, and share in your struggles and victories, is always a great start to my day. Always good to feel the connection and know Iā€™m not alone. Alone itā€™s too much. Together we can do this. One day at a time.
    As for myself, Iā€™m good. Very busy day at work last night as the IT system went down and I made a mistake with giving out medication. All ended well and I didnā€™t feel the need to numb myself afterwards. At all.
    Todayā€™s a new day. Iā€™m sober and clean. As part of my battle against the avoidance monster (thanks @M-be-free49) I decided to think of something Iā€™ve been avoiding and meet it head on. Just one thing each day. Today Iā€™m going to the gym. Have a good week all, or at least as good as you can. Clean and sober. Love from Amsterdam.

Day 349
What is the line between caring about ur partner and being controlling? I wanted to take the kids to the sea and my husband is against it, because of the worry of drowning; there are drowning news stories every day here. But I was planning on paddling not swimming. And there are traffic accidents everyday but he still drives. HE drives, because he doesnā€™t let me do that either. I know I didnā€™t help myself in my drinking time when I was unreliable, but the not letting me even get a license was before my drinking was too bad. I canā€™t shake the feeling he just wants me in the house doing kidsā€™ stuff, but God forbid I try to do anything else. Feeling very frustrated. I want to enjoy something a bit different in my sober life.

Good morning friends - day 254!
Sleeping ok, but my dreams are just strange - not scary, but odd. I guess thatā€™s what happens when you let your sober brain loose for 7-8 hoursā€¦
My gigantic data migration effort over the weekend is basically done, and pretty much on-time. There were some hiccups, but we got past them and I think my customers will be happy. I have a status phone call in about an hour, but Iā€™ve emailed them the full status update anyway. There are some housekeeping tasks that are running now, but the data is moved - thatā€™s the big part.

Rainy morning here in NE Florida - thatā€™s fine with me. I like to listen to the rain and everything stays nice and green.

Have an awesome day! I am going to do mine sober!

Two weeks today. I have had thoughts about drinking and how nice it would be to just have one. But I tell myself that is not possible for me. I have enjoyed waking up in the morning and feeling great and not hung over. Keeping this sober train going. Not sure when it will stop or if it will ever stop but we are enjoying the ride.

Good morning day 45. Halfway to ninety. I just completed a number of deadlines at work, and I donā€™t really have anything pressing until August starts. I am actually going to try to take a week off without thinking about work. Without feeling overwhelming guilt. That will be a difficult task for me. My parents are are visiting this week, so perhaps that makes it easier to distract from the guilt. I recently got a dosage adjustment in my psych meds and itā€™s making my head feel strange and giving me the urge to nap every afternoon. Hopefully temporary.

Hope everyone is well. Sorry to hear about your frustration, @Misokatsu. That does sound quite aggravating.

Congratulations on a successful data migration @Charlie_C! Improving cyberspace one byte at a time :grin:

Congratulations on 1095 days @SoberGuyUSA! My calculations are 1095/365=3. I guess we had a leap year last year so big day coming up tomorrow? :wink:
