Morning checkin
Today I woke up in a panic. Was supposed to be at work for 8am and ended up waking up at 8am! Discovered that my alarm does not go off if the volume is downā¦ odd 
Anyway, I called my work and then got ready and Iām heading there now. Normally, this would start my day off in a funk and Iād carry around that negative energy all day, but Iām not doing that. I feel great actually lol idk. I really have to watch my state of mind bcuz Iāve learned that relapse doesnāt just happenā¦ its usually a string of events that occur before the relapse. So keeping my emotions and thoughts in check will help! Anyway, I saw this on fb. I quite like it! Thought it might be helpful for some. Have a great day/evening everyone

Checking in and feeling good today, so glad to be home and had a great sleep in my own bed. Struggling a bit with angry sinuses but migraine is gone (fingers crossed!) so this discomfort is manageable. My sinuses and my plants will appreciate the humidifier running all day.
I had a great visit home. There is no doubt about that. But (yes, there is a but) I struggled with feeling like I just wasnāt 100% - and Iām talking recovery-wise. I felt self conscious and sensitive and like I wanted to hide, and I felt this too often. It is kind of my default at times, but this felt like too much. I think what I was recognizing was a trigger. And Iām not going to go into the nitty gritty psychology of it all, because itās nothing extraordinary or unusual, but I guess it was just another reminder that I have more work to do. And Iām not feeling as bad about that today.
Sending strong sober vibes your way, amigos.

Check in two on Day 13. Kiddo gets off early!! Yay! Symphony and The Goblet of Fire, here we come!
Great meeting. Feeling strong. Feeling committed to a healthy life, devoid of alcohol. I am a little weirded out that the voice hasnāt been speaking to me on this go 'round. Itās unnerving. I am filling up a damned arsenal, just in case.

Day 45, yesterday the guy couldnāt show up bc he had a positive contact with someone for COVId, grateful he spoke up. But I got to do a tattoo today and Iām happy with it. Ive actually been talking to this girl for a little while, we met way back when I was first sober on a hiking group. Sheās older, doesnāt drink and likes to work out. She asked me over for dinner.i said ok y not, but part of me is just very apprehensive, I really need to work on me, I mean I figured If anything we could be good friends. Anyways hope you all have a good day
