…1247 part 2. Ms. Monkey and I just purchased
It was a compromise. When I camp I want to be in the middle of no where. She needs running water and flushing toilets. This is allows us to go camping anywhere now and both be happy.
I could have never affoard this if I was drinking. Another by product of being sober.
I like your little blue chair, 
Have fun!
That’s amazing!! It’s incredible how much money we used to waste on booze.
Amazing ! How fun! Oh the memories your going to make traveling around In that beauty! 
First weekend in September and third weekend in September we already had camping trips planned. We talked about one more in the fall, to enjoy the changing leaves. We had decided not to go, because of the little pop up camper she had would get to cold at night. We are looking for places now!
Its so exciting planning things isnt it. Having something to look forward to in life is the best feeling!!
That is way sweet! I predict more fun out on the road for you finding places to explore, then glamping each night!
Glamping was a hard sell for me. However, she did find some out of the way places that she would never go to…without a trailer…so, I had to buy one
The beginning of the 140th day no alcohol. 
But the same distance as YOU from an alcoholic drink.
Don’t pick up today 
Massive congratulations!
You made it this far by being as resilient as you are. Believing in yourself when perhaps others didn’t. Keep being an amazing soul 
Yay for compromise and saving money!
You encourage and believe in other people plenty, turn that onto yourself💗.

Day 388
Things are hard and I’m just so tired these days. Had been thinking about spending less time here and then I had some triggers yesterday and a weird relapse dream last night. Not an alcohol relapse either, but long forgotten demons I don’t talk about and haven’t had to be as diligent about. Just a quick check in while I’m hanging out here and reading posts today. Y’all give me strength just being here. 
Checking in today sober after a nice, but tiring day. I am a little anxious about tomorrow’s activities. I enjoyed friends tonight but tomorrow feels awkward and not relaxing. I am glad I am not drinking b/c that would exacerbate some issues and numb some issues and I really need to feel and live through these things to get my life right.
I wanted to mention a podcast that someone you may like. I haven’t listened in it’s entirety yet, but a neurobiologist at Stanford who has a podcast, The Huberman Lab, interviewed a psychiatrist on the podcast who focuses on addiction. Her name is Dr. Anna Lembke and the information she provides about addiction was incredibly enlightening for me and I really appreciate her compassion and admiration for recovering addicts. Super interesting and helpful to further understanding of all of this.
