Along with others I donate a small monthly amount to this place, to keep it running and available for all. That earns me the heart

Checking in sober on a dreary Friday morning. 112 days. I have some complicated emotions this morning that I really have trouble articulating… I am very challenged when it comes to expressing my emotions. I am not sure why. Trying to have a quiet coffee or two before it’s time to get the kiddos ready for school. Happy October, everyone.
Congratulations @Olivia on a full year! And @MagicILY on 60 days.

Day 146 today. A beautiful fall morning in Indiana. I am in the midst of a major life transition as I retire from 20 years of active duty in the Army into the civilian sector. I passed my final licensing exam (there have been 4 in total) for my follow on career yesterday. Ordinarily I would have celebrated with a dozen or two drinks but yesterday I celebrated with a 6.5 mile run and a good dinner at home with the family. The promises tell us that they ‘will be fulfilled among us, sometimes quickly sometimes slowly;’ I am amazed at how they are being fulfilled in my life in sobriety. Have a great day everyone.

Day 4! I decided to face my anxiety head on and went home last night, sometimes you just need to drive 3 hours lol. I was really nervous about what I would do when I got there. I am so proud of myself, I moved all of the alcohol down to the basement hoping out of sight out of mind. So into day 5 I go with a little less anxiety.

Hey everyone just checking in day two. Been using my exercise bike a little bit lately and feeling pretty good. I’ve been trying these new ashwanganda pills which actually seem to be helping me with a lot of my stress, and anxiety.

Checking in substance free for…
As I left the house yesterday to open my homegroup I was raging. During the first 5 months of my recovery the chance of relapse last night would definitely have been an 8/10. If I use the tools I have to gauge where my mind and body were at I can clearly see I was walking on thin ice.
Was I …
Hungry 
Angry
Lonely 
Tired
In the moment I had no other option but to get my ass to my homegroup because I had the key. Strangely enough none of my homegroup members showed up until 7 pm (when the meeting starts) forcing me to spend time with myself in a spiritual environment. Then as usual my higher power (in this case the program of NA) gave me the opportunity to chair the meeting, shut my bitchy mouth, be humble and listen. They say “Service keeps you clean”, I am proof of that today. I am not surprised I feel better today either.
I haven’t been on top of my game this last week but it’s Friday so I have made it to the weekend and I am still clean. That simple fact that I am clean means I fucking won.
Have a super Friday everyone.
