Day 13 no alcohol/ Day 259 no weed

Long day today ā€” in the car most of day though it was a lovely scenery. Went a longer way to avoid heavy highway traffic on a summer weekend. Visiting family and went to see my friend in a play. Pretty tired but wanted to check in before going to sleep. My boyfriend just got mad at me about something and I feel like, jesus, again?? We just made up and had this good trip. Why does there need to be a problem. Weā€™re about to be apart for several days so Iā€™m looking forward to the space and getting some more time to process. When thereā€™s a lot going on with stuff like that my mind and emotions does better with some time alone.

Iā€™m any case, good night friends! Another sober day and night :blush:

Checking in day 590 AF
3 days no sugar.
Feeling great today. Actually first day in a long time Iā€™ve felt this good. Not necessarily from quitting sugar but just everything since my health issues came up a few months ago. And my recovery from my procedure andā€¦ā€¦ andā€¦ā€¦ it just seemed like a really normal nice fucking day.

I wish my wife felt the same way. She stays depressed about ALLthe worldly issues that 590 days ago were also killing me. Politics, climate change, floods, pandemic, and I guess the earthquake in Haiti yesterday :scream::scream::scream:
I know all this shit is going on, but itā€™s just so fucking different now after 590 days of being sober. My reaction is what is so different. My calmness. I just feel so sad sheā€™s always all worked up about this shit. And of course still drinking. Iā€™m doing my part and setting a good example. Itā€™s gotten easier. And I fucking love this new sober guy Iā€™ve become.
:pray:t2::heart:
Itā€™s my choice to live a
better life!
Without it
Iā€™m just runninā€™ circles!

Substance for you .com

Happy Sunday everyone! Day 184 for me , got a 3 day weekend this one as I have my grandson Benjamin tomorrow for the day. Canā€™t wait. We are going birthday present shopping for his 7th birthday which is on Thursday but my daughter is taking him to London for 3 days to celebrate it so Iā€™m also doing him a birthday party tomorrow night! Itā€™s going to be a very busy day with him and I can only do all that sober. My daughter would have worried about me drinking 7 months ago and I love that she doesnā€™t have to now.
Some great numbers on here team ! Have a great day all :blush:

Maybe do the steps again. Iā€™ve never done them (started a couple of times) but I do hear from folks who did every time they do it again they learn new stuff from 'm. Sounds logical to me they do. And/or consider therapy. or find more peer to peer support aimed not just at addiction but at your broader problems. Itā€™s all part of recovery Mike. We got to keep working it. One day at a time.
