Day 57 Frosty sunrise walk/run this morning made me so grateful for my new lease on life. I’m transforming into a morning person and I like her.

@Rainwater 
Our bodies are amazing machines for repairing themselves. Congrats on your 3.25 years!! I’m sure the best is yet to come for you.
@kat261 You’re doing so well. You got this!!!
@Freeyourmind Bart! Congratulations!!! I will have ice cream in your honor today!
@LAB The serentiy prayer is beautiful, no matter whom or what you are praying to. I wish you peace, my friend.
@Hailstrom What an amazing number! I am sending rays of sunshine to your heart.
Day 15. Yesterday was rough-ish, mostly in the evening It’s so routine to want to have a beer when good things happen “to celebrate.” How in the ever-loving fuck is that celebratory? It’s heavy, caloric and makes me feel lazy. Whose idea was this to celebrate with a depressant?
I sat in first on the Beyond One Year and then on a Newcomers’ meeting. I heard the life changes and then the desperation. Both were necessary to get me through the evening. I was agitated and probably hungrier than I felt. Started my day, bright and early with Laura McKowen’s meeting and it was amazing - full of some amazing shares.
From one of the shares: “People say, ‘I don’t know why I drank.’ Yes, you do. Everyone in here knows why we drink.”
I can’t answer one thing that I gain by drinking. People who still think they gain something, even normies, have been convinced of that truth.
Day 536 clean and sober today. I hope everyone has a beautiful day today, love you guys!!! 
Checking in on day 9. Hope everyone has a great day!
Day 4 after days of binging and lost attitude
Congrats on your year.
Checking in with all my numbers still in tact.
I guess things have been bubbling up and I, as any good emotional advoidant would, have been shoving it down. I can’t really name what this is, but the place inside me where I used to feel empty feels messy. I almost feel like something will break out from inside of me… It is an unsettling feeling, and has been making me withdraw from everything. I have felt like if I can just hang on until it goes away everything will be ok. History has shown me that doesn’t work, white knuckling recovery just never works.
So I am at some type of crossroad again. I do everything I am “supposed to do” yet my tool box is lacking a tool, my spirit is screaming for more. All I can do is keep using the tools I have to get by and keep trying new things until something clicks. Finding the willingness to crawl out from under the rock and save myself isn’t always easy until I remember where I was 2 years ago.
You know without willingness I have nothing, I need to be willing every single time I am faced with something. Willing to be humble and say I don’t have this, willing to put in effort and try harder, willing to get out of my comfort zone and find something my spirit needs. Willingness will save my life.
Congrats everyone on your recovery. This is a crazy road and all any of us has is today. 
Sounds like a great opportunity. Congratulations on 2 weeks 
Day 2 I made it this morning without a drink hopefully tonight I have it in me to keep going
Great job, we are here for you. First couple days were minute by minute for me. Keep checking in.
Congratulations on your 1 year of freedom Bart. That is awesome
I’m so happy to read your checkin. We are definitely not alone. What a great way to enter the Holidays.
Wicked Happy For You.
What do you consider you best, go-to, tools? What are you thinking about trying?
Day 1487.
Some days, or weeks, I just don’t feel like focusing so much on my recovery. I feel like I’ve been doing this long enough that it’s okay to just to be abstinent.
Then I log into here and see all the relapses and the people being miserable just being abstinent and then I realize why I do the things I do. I have found it helpful to learn from everyone, not just the ones doing it well.
Great catch!
Thanks alot Eric!
