Day 15 complete, it’s been quite a successful day today, I was not only able to wake up and actually get up at the specific time I wanted, I also achieved a lot of things today. Very excited for church tomorrow, have a good night everyone.

I tried to stay up last night to catch 800 days but fell asleep. Of course I woke up shortly after. Only 200 more days until I join the 4 digit club.

@anon9289869 You are not alone. There are plenty of people on here, including myself, who did a steller job of pretending we were okay, when we certainly were not. It does feel very lonely.

@anon35096624 That is really sad and frustrating. I know video calls, etc, aren’t the same, but can be a way to help tide u over.

I read somewhere that going to places where alcohol is pretty much the main event is like having a box of chocolates and one of then has shit in. You might get away with it, but probably wise to not dip ur hand in too often.

Evening checkin
Today has been decent. Did alittle grocery shopping. Received a new cake order for a christening. A 2 tier vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream. Went and bought some ingredients for that today too. Came home and ate supper with hubby. Also got our tub fixed yay!!! Which means I get to have nice hot bath salt/essential oil bath tonight (self care). Feeling really worn down today… but nothing stays the same. Change is constantly happening :slight_smile: hope everyone is doing well.

Maybe you can listen on your phone when you’re drawing or walking. Insight Time has so much free stuff on there. Recovery Dharma’s book is available free to listen to online. However, I prefer just the recovery lessons or meditations. You may zone out (I do) but you’ll still retain at least some. As always, I am rooting for you.

Checking in and so glad to be home after a long day on the road. Grateful for sobriety and being present with my family on this visit. Now pizza and to bed.

Thank you @C_8, @Lotusflower, @Dazercat and @EarnIt . I hate this fucking disease. A very close friend I met in AA relapsed and is now on life support. Her organs are failing and the outcome isn’t looking good at all. A sharp reminder that we all have another relapse in us but not all of us have another recovery.

Checking in 102 days AF was a good day started with service work decorating for Christmas :christmas_tree: at church. Next I got home to watch my Wolverines beat the luck eyes! Now just laying in bed with my room half packed feeling happy to be sober.
Good night or good morning
