Closing out day 406, I need y’all to send me strength for these next two weeks. I am approaching a child custody hearing for my daughter, I don’t forsee any issues but you never know how these things go, especially when your ex is a narcissist. Fingers crossed for me folks, I’m going to need it with all of the mess I have going on! (Sobriety is not an issue, just stressed out). Thanks!

She’s not part of the community but my partner is on her own journey, she defies all logic of recovery - no fuss, no talking about it, no daily counter she wouldn’t even know she had 4 months if I didn’t tell her and when I do it’s just a quick smile and that’s the end of that. Goes to prove there are no wrong ways to recovery, if it works for you keep on doing it.
Oh, if it doesn’t work for you, Change It!!!

@vaariesga , sending posits vibes your way. That is so stressful. Blessing that you are sober.
@KellyKelly, this is exactly the thing to share about on TS. Completely appropriate. We support you. Major pay on the back for two weeks. A big deal.
I didn’t drink today. Today was good. I’m probably not drinking tomorrow. Much love to you all.

Day 5 no alcohol / Day 251 no weed
The high point of today was paddling a boogie board past the breaker and then catching a wave back in. I’ve never done that before and it was SO exhilarating!!! What an amazing feeling. I also have just started teaching yoga again and led a class this morning. During both of these experiences I felt very alive and present. My life before quitting drinking would have included drinks at the beach and definitely at home this evening. Instead I feel like I lived a full day. I’m tired in a beautiful way because I actually feel my experiences from today instead of clouding them with alcohol or smoking weed.
Have a great weekend everyone!

85 days done . So every Friday we go out together as a soberhouse … its called forced fun fridays lol. Tonight we went to the movies and they say 1 year to not get involved with girls. I found myself meeting a girl at movies and exchanging facebook its so tough because all honesty im feeling myself again and I want to talk to girls but I know I have such a dark past I got called out on it by my house manager and I thought he was just hating on me but sitting with self before bed I see the seriousness in this . Venting for anyone else that reads and might be able to relate . Can’t wait to get that 90 day coin been searching whole life for it . Goodnite everyone sober world

For sure man. It’s nice your feeling yourself and meeting girls absolutely, but it’s definitely true, right now your on a pink cloud and kind of getting high of your sobriety with your milestones. Eventually it does taper off and you just have alot of feelings to deal with, a girl could almost make you feel to good and cause you to relapse, or if it doesn’t work out cause you to feel shitty about yourself and worthless and relapse. So your emotions are just still gonna be all over the place for a while it’s tricky trying to date. Just keep focusing on you and recovering. Even after I hit my year I still was very unstable and all over the place with my feelings and not knowing what to do next lol. Much love

I know man that is all so true . My spirit tells me its wrong my heart tells me its wrong. My head tells me go for it . I think cuz I work now get a haircut pay rent that im stable and deserve to hangout with a girl . Truth is my addiction still whispers still wants me to suffer . I still don’t know how to fully sit with self and that is what had me understanding why its so dangerous to fill that void . I feel so powerful finally escaping that prison like im some he man lol when really my addiction laughs everyday like wait till he slips and his lifes over . I need to stay humble and not steer the wheel

- Coffee. Back to work. It’s some time ago I did an early shift. The alarm wasn’t welcomed just now. Well. At least I’m sober and clean. I got news last night the barman from my once favourite bar on my favourite holiday island in Greece died from a heart attack. I actually biked past my old Amsterdam local after. In the past I would have been in there and drink myself senseless because of this news. Now I went home instead. Was on here for a bit. Started the mindfulness/meditation course @siand shared about. And went to bed on time although I had some crazy vivid dreams for the first time since I quit the antidepressants. So no totally rested but will make do. One day at a time. Have as good a weekend as you all can friends. Clean and sober. Saw this drawing by Rembrandt yesterday in his old house turned museum. Sad story about Hansken the elephant. Awesome sketch. Love from Amsterdam.

Checking in! Day 379. 3 more days on the farm. Glad for the weekend cuz my mom doesn’t have to work. I’ve been a little lonely this week. The foster kids have been at camp and it’s just been me and my daughter mostly.
My friend who is sober is moving in with us!!! I am sooo excited. Took a lot of convincing of my daughters dad but he finally said yes and she got to Vegas last night. California is just way too expensive and she asked if she could move in with us. She is my closest friend of 18 years so I hope it all works out.
Congrats on 1 year @anon27760155!! Glad to see you are back because I missed your posts and glad to see you were showered with presents on your one year because you are amazing.
