That is so hard 
. Be sure you are worthy of love even if your previous partner cannot provide it. And the most important love is self-love.

Two nice, sober days in the books. Feels good. Maybe this is some sort of honeymoon phase, but i wasnt affected by my in laws drinking in front of me at dinner. Weird, but good!

Day 58
Survived my first sober Thanksgiving since probably 1984. I navigated a full house and still managed to remain true to my sobriety. My daughter’s boyfriend asked her if there was a red to go with the charcuterie board and she told him “oh, no, mom is sober, now”. I was proud of my daughters supporting me and also by limiting their own consumption during their visit (yes there was alcohol they brought, but absolutely no wine) I am hoping one day the two youngest find their way to sobriety, but that is their journey.
The last of the gang left yesterday so today was a little tougher. I’ve found it’s harder when I’m tired and bored, but managed to work through that today. Nice peaceful walk this morning and lots of movies this afternoon.

That’s great Cindy.
What wonderful support you got for Thanksgiving from your daughter. That’s pretty cool.

Day 487
Drinking a rooibos chai sleep blend and just finished my evening meditation that made me want to share. I have a December birthday which always makes me feel restless and like I need to reflect on the year past to make big plans for the year to come x this is then of course further engrained with new year resolutions that are pushed around the same time of year. It throws my mind all over into some dark places.
So I chose a self care themed meditation tonight - with hand on heart there was focus on grounding. It was emphasized that you yourself are a source of support and strength. Going to bed now feeling more at peace.

Into day 9 now.
Starting to sleep better finally.
Went out with some friends last night and had a blast. It was a bit surreal because they were all having drinks and I was just knocking back pepsi, but regardless I still had a lot of laughs with them.
Hit up another meeting tonight and had some great conversations, met a few other members that weren’t there on Wednesday and now I’m just sitting in my office on the ol graveyard shift getting ready to start my paperwork

Ticking along, Monday morning with no major anxiety, no love for the my job, but I will persevere until new year and starting looking for another role in Housing Support/homeless work. This gives me light in the tunnel, rather than walking off the job causing financial issues. Clarity and thought-out decision making! phew how novel 
@anon53116147 a friend with such good habits sounds just what you need

- Coffee. New week. Late shifts ahead. My salary was paid. This month there’s a double bonus included, a regular early Christmas one and an extra one for health care workers due to COVID. For once I have an income that I really feel good about. Now not to spend it all in a wild buying spree.
I’ll practice some restraint. Which I don’t really need to do to stay sober and clean these days. It’s the state I want to be in. One day at a time. Have as good a week as you all can friends. Love from Amsterdam and the dairy farm last Saturday.
@MagicILY huge congrats on a full year of freedom! Awesome!
