Morning all, checking in on Day 8, meaning I made 1 week sober. So proud of myself 
We have a busy day today, kids parties, shopping etc. and it is so nice to be facing that sober and refreshed (although still struggling a little with fatigue). It was a beautiful sunny day yesterday, although cold and windy and we were able to make the best of it - lovely walk seeing the Spring bulbs and amazing local history. If ever there was a symbol of hope and new beginnings it is seeing your first daffodil of the year!
Congratulations to everyone posting their amazing milestones, and those checking in when struggling. You all give me hope for the future that it is possible.

Oh my gosh did they really?!? So all the girls in the windows are gone?
Thatās what Amsterdam is known for here, and the weed cafes lol.
So the adult entertainment industry , the window girls have all been shut down?

Day 551
Glad to see the back of today. The kids had a major case of the sillies, all morning singing loud songs about pee and poo and farts. This afternoon I got the wavy lines in my sight and spacy feeling that signals a headache so had to go to bed. My husband was kind enough to make dinner, instant ramen though it was, but he started nagging me to death about eating more calcium and iron, and that that was why I got a headache. I appreciate the concern, but it really was constant.

I can relate to lots of the stuff you said there, lots of anxious thoughts and worrying that things will not turn out as they āshouldā. What if your purpose was just to be you? To be here in this life wherever it takes you? What if you saw and appreciated how you make a difference and help people in the life you already have? Being sober and taking it one day at a time sound like pretty good ways of fulfilling that purpose if you ask me 
Thatās not to say that change is a bad thing. Change is inevitable! I know that when I am reaching for change in my external circumstances, it is often a reflection of something out of balance internally. When I focus on that, my perspective can change. And that helps with the external stuff.
Hope you had a lovely calming lavender bath
