I like that boundary plan. This particular family member relies on me too much because she’s fairly new to the area she lives now. I’ll let some time go by and then have the hard discussion. She needs to make more of an effort to get out and meet people near her and this way she can call on them to help. I didn’t mind when it was a 20 minute drive but she chose to relocate not me.
Love you more!!

Checking in today 
Today was a relatively good, productive day to be honest, I feel good overall!
For some guided mindfulness:
Everything which doesn’t serve you any meaningful purpose in life right now, let it go… Breathe and clear your mind for a bit… And let it go… You don’t want that in your life anymore… You don’t need that in your life anymore… You’re free because you have the courage to let go of what you know and fear! We were born incredibly rich in potential… Right here, right now is the ONLY thing which matters in your life right now, do you realize that…?! Yesterday, tomorrow, external negative inputs - neither can ever be or represent YOU as you were, are or will be. You are the most unique, complex, lucky, special, strange and amazing thing you could possibly dream up yourself… Who are you…? Where are you…? You’re the only you there is out there, ever… We didn’t HAVE to be born. When our times are finally up sometime, every second now will feel like a lifetime of potential. But thats ok… Because you have a conscience. And the gift of independence and down right heroism when you really need it… Let go… You don’t ever need to give up when there’s so much vast and unexplored abundance in this world… So many places… So many people… So many other life forms… So much to see, hear, feel, smell, taste, enjoy and most importantly learn! And today is one of those opportunities! I hope you have a good day or night whoever and wherever you are right now buddy, and have the strength to realize your wildest dreams one day at a time, whatever your idea of that is deep down… You’re more than capable, ready and worthy to rise like a pheonix from the ashes!

Checking in: 7 weeks no alcohol
7 days no cigarettes
First of all thanks to whole TS community for supporting me in times of need.
@icebear @Nowenbrace @CATMANCAM Thanks for the support and kind words.
I just received good news about the surgery. Everything went well and there are no complications.
My dad is doing fine ATM and I can visit him tonight.
I was really relieved when I received this news. Yesterday I was really stressed about it, but I’m so happy that I have a clear mind now and that I am doing this sober so I can give him the emotional support he needs.
With mine 7 weeks of sobriety I am Crossing some sort of line. Last year I relapsed after 7 weeks and 2 days and didnt made it that far anymore.
So this week I am moving into unexplored territory. But the difference with last year is that I have a good roadmap now and I will not get lost easily.
And with the help of this amazing community I will definitely stay sober.
But for now… Just one day at a time…

Checking in day 8. Feeling a bit knackered and low. Like I want to sleep constantly. Anyone really sick of working from home? I miss humans and change. Perhaps we have not had the variety we all so need.

Hello beautiful friends. Day 157 check in. We got some actual legitimate snowfall up here this weekend. It definitely looks like winter is coming. That means dark and cold months, but also Christmas lights and cross-country skiing 
I hope everyone has a wonderful start to a new sober week! @ShadowFax I am so glad to hear the surgery went well!

Good morning Checking in!
I 
Mondays! It’s like the best day to get back on track (lol not recovery wise… more meaning getting back on track with my routine). The weekends being at work really throw me off. Was so tired yesterday that I slept in until 7am. Missed my time for my gym workout. But that’s ok, maybe I’ll do an at home workout instead. Really focusing on balance right now bcuz when one area is focused on too much (even if it’s a “good” thing) I end up missing out on other areas that are also important. This lack of balance emotionally effects me in a negative way… which can lead to relapse. I naturally go to extremes with things so I need to watch that. So now that I realize this… I must put balance to action. Haven’t done a guided meditation recently so I’ll be doing that also. That and cleaning. Cleaning is very therapeutic for me. Anyway, hope everyone has a great clean and sober Monday!
Here’s the view from my place this morning…on the verge of our 1st snowfall!
