The Buddhist quotes, indeed. Even thát journey started here. It seems strange, realising how deeply it has interwoven in my life since. How the moments I ám aware of feelings, have been used to hang Thay’s calligrapys on my wall to memorise it.
Massimiliano Balo’s “Anger Soul” and “The Non Being” are on my toilet walls as a lasting warning. One mistake will drag me back immediately.
A small part of my living room has a small altar. A buddha statue, incense and a candle. Even though I bow to it each day, there’s nothing religious to it. With each bow I simply promise myself to stick to the teachings I found to be true.
On the wall, printed on 1.60x1.20 metres, is Thay’s poem that struck me so deeply when I read it. It still does.
Please call me by my true names, which so beautifully describes the essence of Interbeing.
It’s beauty, but also it’s painful aspects.

Checking in on day 20, sober and hanger-over free.
I just booked my hiking trip in March to Luxembourg! I am so excited to go
I am so grateful not spending all my money anymore on alcohol.
Saving money for hiking trips and start making new good memories has never felt so good.
Life isn’t easy but trying to make the best of it is the least you can do.
Wish you all an amazing sober day!
One day at a time, I got this.
@Seb Congratulations with your 
days of sobriety!

Checking in on day 257 alcohol free. After my home finally rid itself of the covid demon (we managed to limit it to 2 of the 6 of us getting it so that was a small victory) I had 2 kiddos home from school yesterday with a 24 hour stomach bug with all the bathroom trips that entails. They woke up feeling well today with an appetite so that’s a relief. Their limited 24 hour misery was a gross reminder to me that our addictions, like the puke monster that visited my home, have limited lifespans and if we treat them appropriately then life will be better tomorrow. Have a wonderful day everyone. It’s a great day to be above ground and sober. Here’s an obligatory pic of one of our 2 rescue cats Empress Pawpatine (a word play on star wars) who joined me while typing this.
