Please stay connected here. And thank you for telling us about your hard time and your past hard times.
You are clearly a very strong person to have worked through as much as you have and to continue to take care of yourself and do the therapy.
I hope you have a day of peace and rest.

Good morning and happy Sunday from the state of Wisconsin in USA. It is cold and dark and easy to go to bed early for the winter hibernation. That also gets me up early.
Iām planning another day of low key packing for vacation and resting to get past this cold I have. Then it will be back to the classroom for 4 more days before holiday break. Weāve got this!

Checking in this morning. Have a super busy day of work (cleaning) and then fun (more baking). If Iām being honest Iām struggling my mind keeps wondering and i almost I just need to stay in my house protected from it all. That discourages me for sure because hiding isnāt going to fix this. Anyway, I really hope everyone has a wonderful day!!

Hey 
everybody ā¦
It has been a while since my last public post,
Little steps, so for now a reset on smoking again and one more that bit me in the bum last couple months but in this crazy times where my country locked-down entirely again I started to see that I was putting myself in a psychological lockdown already for a while.
I have been feeling really alone and upset about everything that happens around me lately but fortunate for me i came to see that I really should pick up checking in again, just to start for now.
Now that the Netherlands is in lockdown again I weirdly feel way more safe and confident to get and go out in the fresh airā¦ But I have to stop being scared and here I am.
Still, and again
Iāll get you all up to speed soon but thereās a little puppy that (as you see) is ready to ride out and run.
Imma going to hit the reply button below really quick so I donāt run into the wrong direction again 
Special thanks for a couple of you ts members, for sending PMās , keeping in contact and reaching out.
Bless yaāll

Just checking in this morning. So this will be the first holiday season without alcohol. Yesterday was a little overwhelming for me but just for a minute. As I sat at the kitchen bar with the family/n-laws everyone started to talk about when will the drinking begin and what will everyone be drinking today/tonight. My sister n law went around the room asking everyone what they wanted from the liquor store but skipped over me. I didnt know she knew that I was living that sober life now and felt a type of way because she didnt ask me what I wanted and I could have my moment to share with the family that I gave up drinking and I am good. I still had a great time playing family holiday games without getting drunk and was still able to enjoy myself without alcohol. But for a minute I did struggle and was worried what the family would think but no one cared that I wasnt drinking.
Keep going my friends and stay together/strong during this holiday season. We got this.

Love this! Thank yoy so much for sharing. I donāt read the Bible but I do believe in God and that fact is fascinating. Iāve been really focusing on having faith and removing that fear of addiction. It helps!!!

Day 1 - coming up on 2 days clean!
Woke up feeling amazing. I truly love sobriety and what it offersā¦ the little āsimpleā things that I love about sobriety (like sleeping and waking up clear headed and full of energy) is not so little to me lol. I got ready for work. Stood at my bus stop and prayed. Working on building a healthy habit of morning prayer, so I do it where I can. Ive been really into this fear or faith thing. I have a day coming up where I was worried/fearful about using. Itās Friday (Christmas eve) and itās payday for both my husband and I. I have been planning what to do and how to approach this day. My plan is to continue on with my recovery routine as usual but also to make it known to my husband 1st thing that I donāt want to use that day. I want to focus on building memories during the holidays and not waking up (or have not yet slept) Christmas morning and feeling like shit. Iām NOT using. I donāt give a āFā how much my addict mind wants to use. Itās not happening. Iām not giving in. Iām connecting to God and to you all on TS and living with faith that I can get through anything. This will be a test and I will get through it. Iām going to be so proud of myself when I can work through a payday for us 
Anyway here is another little thing that I love about sobriety. Noticing things like the beautiful moon on my way to work. Hope you all have a wonderful 24!

Checking in Day 137
My 8 year old is lovingly driving me nuts but all
Is well going to make bacon and eggs for the boys in a bit.
Had a great Zoom meeting last night and weāll see about tonight, supposed to be in-person but dealing with the provinceās restrictions. My sponsor said though our gatherings are not āsocialā so shouldnāt be included in the 10-person restriction. Hmm.
Well thatās it I hope all of you have a great 24 hrs.
@CATMANCAM stay here come back on the sober road with us
@Butterflymoonwoman congrats on almost 2 days and not listening to that addict brain!
@Charlie_C congrats on 400 days!

@Butterflymoonwoman iām not a religious person, in the sense of I donāt read the bible I did study a lot of religions and I have my own beliefs. You do t have to be religious to have faith.
Simply be the change you want to see in the world.

Great mindset Dana.
That moon through the trees is like something from a horror movie, it is beautiful though.
Youāre already giving yourself the greatest gift you can for Christmas, the gift of control over your life and actions! Itās your present to yourself, enjoy it!
Hope you have an awesome day!
