Hitting the bar today on day 201 before stuffing my face full of turkey and everything else on the table. So glad to be going into the holiday season sober.

Good Morning my friends! Happy Thanksgiving. I have so much to be grateful for today. I am on day 8. 
I have my daughter and her children over for the weekend, I have a partner that I adore and I feel great. Evenings and sleeping are still a struggle. But I have so much to gain by staying on the path.

Checking in Day 489 sober
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone celebrating today. This is my first Thanksgiving celebrating just the 3 of us. So this was my big debut of finally cooking thanksgiving dinner. I totally cheated and picked it up from the Cracker Barrel. Anyway, hope you all have a lovely day!
@TMAC Thank you for this post today! 
@Mno Congrats on 900 days!

Checking in Day 113 Happy Thanksgiving to all the Americans on here!
Just waking up here, noon again unfortunately but I slept well. Got some stuff to do round the apartment and have to go give a random urine test. Sooo good to do this without having to cheat (don’t ask lol).
Ok, will get at it!
Happy Sober Thanksgiving!

Checking in day 12 still struggling with thoughts about the future, but as everyone says just have to focus on one day at a time, and that’s it. Today I choose to be sober

Day 1808. Keep coming back everyone!
Today I got another abusive email from the abusive client (on Thanksgiving morning!!). It was full of finger pointing and blame and condescension. She is trying to get me to do work that isn’t required and wasn’t promised, and telling me my work is “unacceptable”. I emailed her back and said, “Happy Thanksgiving!” and stayed completely in the solution. I didn’t cave and tell her I would do the unneeded work she is demanding.
But later on I couldn’t resist. I sent another brief email that said her emails are abusive and she will need to find another engineer.
I felt the need to check in about this because it isn’t easy, and I needed the support from TS. And today there will be wine drinking at dinner. So by posting here I am using my tools and putting on my armor!

Feeling really good right now and honestly grateful to be clean.
I have a friend back home whose daughter is living on a reserve just outside the city where I live. I’ve never met her daughter. Her daughter contacted me the other day saying she needs help to leave as her bf is abusive. She is also pregnant and has a 5 year old little boy. I guided her to get her into the city and to a shelter. Today she asked me for help with an etransfer. She has no bank account, no ID, nothing. No way to accept money for odds n ends for her n her son. I accepted the etransfer, went to the bank, and met up with her just now to give her the $40. It was good to meet her. We chatted about things and I was actually able to use my past experience with my abusive ex, to help her. It’s amazing how we think our pasts are shit and useless, but opportunities come up where it can truly be useful for someone in a similar situation. Plus I was clean and sober and I was able to be present and help another person in their time of need. I used to be sooo selfish. And it felt good to do something today for someone else. Hope everyone is well today!

Checking in on day 167. It was nice to sleep in a bit this morning. Feeling grateful for what I have today. Almost feel like there should be a special day dedicated to what we are grateful for. 
Hey, huge congrats to @5th_dimension André on an entire year. Excellent work, my friend. And to @Luckyredz on a half year. And @ShadowFax on 60 days. And @RosaCanDo, those are 55 amazing one days at a time! Keep rocking, everyone.
