Been confronted by some negativity…using my tools…breath…not effected. Nice how your sober muscles get stronger the more you use them.
Cold day today. Inside fireplace kinda day
Kids on line school…maybe some warm chili for dinner.
Virtual MTG yoga later for me. Good strong 24 hours all:purple_heart:
Love this. Thank you
Happy Birthday Roland. Enjoy!
Thank you 
Day 573 clean and sober today. I don’t understand why the things I need to get done seem so overwhelming to me that I want to avoid them. Weird… I need to push through and do some things that I’m not looking forward to doing but have to get done. Have a wonderful day everyone, love you guys!!! 
Checking in sober day 6!
Hey guys I’m checking in day 141 no alcohol I’m about to go have a cyst cut out and I’m a little nervous about getting pain killers those were never a problem but just to have my mind altered sounds gross but if you cut me open I want a pain killer then and for tonight then I’m cool with Tylenol anyway just wanted to get that out my anxiety is doing its thing but I know that I won’t drink today
everything else will take care of itself as long as I do that that is my part to do I give away the rest
Have a great day
Day 17. Not the easiest day. It’s exactly 6 months since my engagement ended. I feel alone and would probably be drinking but I don’t want to ruin my progress. Just need to get through today.
Checking in day 5 
so so tired super short staffed at work so im exhausted when home. Majorly greatful to be doing it sober however. This time last year i was likely hungover alot working and it was not good at all!
If you use painkillers to kill the pain and you never had a problem with them I don’t see the problem. Just make sure that’s what you are doing. Success with your minor surgery.
Now this is the best TS news today.
Thank God.
Thanks for popping in Danni.
I love you.
Sorry for that Pica. Use your tools. Like you are already doing by posting here. Getting through today will help you in making your sobriety stronger. There’s nothing alcohol helps us with. Maybe it would give you relief for a brief moment. Followed by regret, pain, shame, guilt, remorse, relapse. Play the tape through to the end. I’m glad you’re here. You can do this. Sober. Hugs.
I’m glad you checked in Pica. I’m sorry you feel alone. We are here for you if you need us. I know it’s not the same. But we can be here for you. You’re doing a great job keep it up.
The reminder is helpful, that’s what I’m trying to tell myself. Thank you so much, it means alot
Thank you this community is so kind
Checking in
Day 8
This morning has been so busy! Woke up at 7am, made coffee, got ready, did my reading and prayer, then started tidying up the apartment for an appointment. Feels good to be clean and to be able to have the energy to take care of things instead of miserably suffering thru tasks. Anyway, my mood has been iffy. I have been waking up super grumpy lately. But I realize that I can change my day at any point! Finished the appt and then my husband got that $100 prepaid visa card in the mail today (the covid incentive). Even tho I know it can’t be used at the atm to take out $$, my mind started spinning about using and for a brief second my mind went to, “well if we could take out $$, it would probably be okay to make only one call”. Stopped that thot right away. 1st off, it’s never one call and 2nd of all, I can’t emotionally or physically use again. Took me a sec to process all this and I was abit slow in remembering my tools but Im emotionally okay now. Not triggered at all or holding onto it. Just let it go. So now I’m going to the gym in about an hour Saw this today and thought it was funny lol hope it doesn’t offend anyone but recovery can be such a crazy roller coaster sometimes lol Anyway, luv to all! Hope everyone’s is having a great day!
What a relief! Hope u continue to get better and stronger.
You’re allowed sweetie!!! 
Wonderful to hear from you!
Hahah! This made me giggle hard! Thank you!
