Hello family just checking in at 146 days!

Still have my 2 middle sons who are almost 12 and 13, I said weā€™d go to the virtual reality place today which they love.

Apparently my homegroup in NA is still open tonight so will pick up my addict friend and go to that. Keep meaning to call my sponsor so that will definitely happen. And it wouldnā€™t kill me to do more stepwork, a few questions at a time. There are 69 questions in Step 1 in the NA guide and I have yet to get through them!

And of course will hit the gym again for some treadmill looking forward to it. I used to get all overwhelmed with the pressure of ā€˜lifestyle changeā€™ and having to go every day, but through this program I have learned to take everything ODAAT and it is a privilege.

Love you all and have a great sober day!

Day 522
Checking in! You have no idea how much you all stay on my mind throughout the day. Thanks for sharing your stories here! @anon27760155 has been heavy on my mind. Praying we hear from her soon and she is recovering. :pray: If you read this we miss you Danni!
@Hopeful777 Huge congrats on 1 year. Itā€™s been amazing watching you grow so much this year and step out of your comfort zones and succeed!! Excited for year 2! :relaxed:
@Rockstar24777 Corey and you are always in my thoughts. So much love for you! :heart: I had a friend reach out to me from SD yesterday that his best friend just overdosed on Fentanyl. He says the gangs are doing it on purpose. I really hope they find these people! So far I know of 4 people from CA that have died from this drug. Itā€™s so fucking helpless and sad and unnecessary. :frowning:

Load up on the zincā€¦ Get lots of vitamin D. Iā€™ve been drinking lemon water each morning and havenā€™t been sick for 3 months! Which is a record for me! Hoping you donā€™t get sick. :pray:

I missed my morning check in because I got up early to go fishing! We had a blast and caught some fish. And one of the best parts is that I was not nursing a hangover. Yay!

Itā€™s on the previous check-in thread, now locked, but just wanted to shout out @YeeYeeViking.
Had been wondering about you! Glad you checked in and glad youā€™re doing well, Monty. If Iā€™m not mistaken youā€™ve got to be close to a year now?

Good to see you.

Checking in! Day 3 for me. :slight_smile:
To be honest, Iā€™ve never gotten to a day 3. Iā€™ve been drinking daily for probably close to 3 years? Iā€™m not sure. Iā€™ve taken breaks every once in a while but rarely more than one day and never more than 2. The last 6 months or so Iā€™ve struggled with the idea of wanting to get sober. I joined Facebook groups, downloaded a sober counter, etc. This community is what helped me the most, and realizing that thereā€™s not going to be some big epitome moment where I magically stop drinking and this becomes easier. I need to bring out motivation in myself, and I need to put in the work. So thatā€™s where Iā€™m at now and I feel like Iā€™ve set myself free. Iā€™m so happy.

Iā€™ve been sober for 726 days And itā€™s never not there. We live in a society where our triggers are everywhere.

If I take a drink in the next couple of days because itā€™s New Years or any other excuse. Thatā€™s :100: on me. No one else can make me take that first drink.

Oh and I just tested positive for Covid. This is bullshit!! I actually feel pretty good today. Iā€™m glad Iā€™m triple vaxxed.
So Iā€™m not drinking today. And Iā€™m probably not drinking tomorrow either.
Fuck Covid.
Dani :pray:t2: Iā€™m praying for you every fucking day :pray:t2:
