- Coffee. Day off. Got myself a little joking gift for the milestone. Also going back to spinning class after 10 days of absence due to injury. Today is for me. Sober and clean. Have as good a day as you all can friends. Make it clean and sober.
Love from Amsterdam and the beach at Fort Bragg CA in 2018, to continue my 2018 USA trip theme for a bit. Bandon OR might be more scenic, but I really love this place.

Morning all (at least were I am) waking up on day 7 and not feeling it today, not at all if I’m honest. All in my mind I know but it always seems to be my toughest opponent in this. I’m going to work from home, stay in the house and maybe if I physically lock myself away today I will get through it sober. Arrrrgghhhh guys worried about today!!

Drink water like you’re putting out a fire. If you’re full of water you don’t want to drink anything else, and a hydrated brain makes better decisions. Put an alarm in your phone to remind you to drink water every 30 minutes, or something. It gets you through the very tough early days.

Good morning to all of you in this fight for peace! Peace of mind. Peace of home….
Checking in at 6 am on my first day of thanksgiving break. I’m so pleased to be up early and clear headed.
Early morning with coffee, this check in, and some reading before the hubby is up is a great way to start my day. The next few days include some visits with family, some delicious food and a chance to keep enjoying the peace I feel with my decision.
I wish you all a happy day filled with kindness.

I really love this time of day when everything is still and peaceful before even the sun is awake. I used to think morning people were crazy now I realize not knowing a hangover free start to the day is the insanity. Have an amazing day!

Day 166 check in. Having coffee in the quiet before the morning craziness getting the kids off to school. Life has been busy and I have have been worried about not being able to focus much on recovery. I am keenly aware that this is how the ever-present seeds of relapse are nurtured. I will try to take time to catch an online meeting today.
Great numbers @Mno and @Dansig! Please stay safe out there @Its_me_Stella and friends in BC.

Good morning, my friends.
Day 9. It’s such a small number and feels like it should be so much bigger. I do wish I had tracked days not drinking. That’d be a much more palatable number. Those numbers do build though.
Today is way busier than I wish. Kiddo has a counseling appointment and I have sat in on the last two for background. I am not sure if she’ll expect me to sit in again. I am not certain I like this counselor but at least we’ll get some background and evals done. Entering counseling is always scary but having a gender non-conforming kiddo makes it terrifying. I am basically leaving someone alone with my kid’s mind and heart. Scary.
My father is having hip replacement surgery today. I am really hoping for a good outcome. He’s been in horrible pain for a long time. Maybe he can lay off the pain killers and the booze with a new hip. 
I had a chat with my mother yesterday. I have been pretty open about my childhood trauma with her. She said, “What do I do with that? I just feel so guilty.” At least she is finally admitting that she stood back and just let shit happen, maybe she is. It was likely momentary. I told her she had to deal with her own shit and I have to deal with mine. She can’t fix what’s broken and guilt is a wasted expense of energy and emotion. Gah.
I am not sure which I have a harder time with, my father being such a domineering ass when I was a kid, or my mother pretending she was such a good mother. Fuck! In the long run, it doesn’t matter. It’s just me and my shit. AMIRIGHT?
Have a good day!

Checking in on day 11. All is good. A little bit of cravings yesterday night but then I did an intensive cardio workout for an hour and then I went to bed. So managed to keep them under control…
Hope you guys have a great day. Already midweek
