What’s luminary night about?
Quiet space helps me so much. I do think that overstimulation is a problem for me and I get that. Soft music can help but sometimes silence is key. And with silence sometimes comes dealing with the obsessive thoughts. It’s a powerful way to work through them, just taking all the stimulus away. Sending strength to you.

They set up those candles with the paper around them all up and down the street… Music, food and alot of Christmas decorations.
If you google it there’s pictures from past years.

Special occasions, holidays and birthdays come with their own pressures and triggers. Just think how happy you’ll be to have a sober birthday. What better way to celebrate your birth than being totally present, healthy and working at making the rest of your life the best it can be?

I just had to accept it would never be a couple of drinks to unwind. It would be a couple of drinks, intense craving for more, chaos, hangover and stress. It depends on the weather, but a cold ginger ale, a hot sweet tea, do more to refresh me these days. It takes time to retrain the body and mind, but totally possible.

Checking in 67 days sober.
Thankful feeling happy and hopeful. I know there will be many difficult days ahead in my life. That’s a part of life not just sobriety. Feeling blessed and at peace tonight. And full of guacamole. 
Happy Friday

If that’s not a great 701 day sobriety gift, I don’t know what is.
