5 months sober exactly today! Makes me feel happy. It also means i made it through christmas sober. There have been some temptations but nobody has been pushy, maybe they were glad. I just said i drink some tea or juice, nobody asked why and i also didnāt elaborate. Kind of defines the superficiality inside of our family i guess. We talk about stuff but we donāt really even know eachother on a deeper level. Gonna contemplate a bit on if i want to do something about this or not. And if yes, what and how? I donāt know if iām ready. For now i just wanna enjoy my 5 months, i will celebrate by making a nice walk outside and getting myself some healthy snacks. Looking forward to that.

Great you did that! And for sure i think you should be the owner of the cat. If the owner didnāt want to pay for surgery but have him put down instead, and you went on and saved him, itās yours now! I once had a similar situation with a dog that the owners were neglecting, i went to take care of him and paid for a treatment for heartworm (which would have killed him). Luckily they were than ok me adopting the dog (who now more than 7 yrs later just recently died).
Anyway, much luck! Iām happy the cat is fine again

So SO happy for you Marie! Funny how the progress seems so slow we tend not to notice there is any at all. But at milestones like this one we see how all our tiny steps together make for some pretty big ones yes. And looking from the outside I see how much you and your life have changed for the better. Huge congrats! Thanks so much for being here and sharing your road. Hope you celebrate today for it is well earned. Love and hugs and lots of cake friend.

- Coffee. Family dinner was nice. Now itās back to work some late shifts. Life goes on. Sober and clean. The longer I am, the happier I am about it. An occasional urge still occurs occasionally. Reading around here and talking about them gives me all I need to withstand them. Never again. One day at a time.
Have as good a last week of the year as you all can all. Make it clean and sober. Love from a chilly foggy Amsterdam.
