I really was wanting to use. My hubby came home, he seemed fine. He told me about the bachelor party and it sounds like fun. My anxiety eased up a bit but it still is there. I am completely running on self will and I know all yo well how that goes 
Anyway, I wanted to go out for abit to pick up some cake supplies for my upcoming cake. On the train I decided to open up my Big Book. And the book mark that I had just sort of thrown in there randomly last week was placed into the section Into Action (this was not planned lol). Along with what everyone on here posted and then reading Step 10 and 11 and it telling me exactly what I need to do step for step, I just followed the steps and it’s like it instantly re-wired my brain. I have learned that vigilance in my recovery is something I have to do right now. I can not rest on my spiritual laurels. Its about surrender and about not fighting for me. Let go and let God 100%. This was a huge risk for me the last few days by relaxing on what I need to do. Thankfully I didn’t use. Thank u all for helping and always being there. And of course I am SO thankful for the 12 steps and my HP.

Hey Cindy
Soundslike a great way to spend your Saturday. I’m sure you’ll find some great discoveries leady spirit.
Thanks menno, I’m pretty proud. I realize I am lacking in some areas and sometimes maybe not working my recovery like my first time around, it almost feels harder this time. But as long as I stay sober and just keep doing what I’m doing things will eventually fall into place. Thanks for always being here

Day 1542. Took the squirts to the local museum. I love that this is my norm. 4 years ago I was still in early recovery. By this point I had a feeling I might be able to stay sober, but doubted my life would ever be like this. But I stuck with my program and put in the work. That hard work paid off and sometimes it’s nice to look back and remind myself of that.

They an acquired taste I think. Whereas I’ve been a massive TOOl fan since my teens, since before I started drinking. Think they’ve aged better than I have

56 Days Sober
8 weeks of clarity behind me, 8 weeks of new friendships and support.
Feeling good today. Had a message from someone who read a post I wrote about accepting responsibility my infidelity and asked my for some advice, about 10 days ago, To which I responded giving my advice. Today they have responded saying it was the best and most honest advice they had ever been given, they had confronted their partner about their indiscretions and had shown them what I wrote and they were working together to build a stronger relationship out of it now it was in the open rather than just some suspicions. It was nice knowing I had helped someone although I had always hoped I had never been right, and was wishing the other persons partner hadn’t done to them what I did to my partner.
Anyway, have an amazing day one and all!
Much love, prayers and hugs to those who need it!
Stay strong!

Lmao me too! 
Just wanted to check in. Kind of disappointed in myself, was feeling pretty good today so I went and bought two bang energy drinks drank them rather quickly, and it’s crazy how out of body they make me feel and just weird I feel off them, tingly and honestly I hate the feeling once I drink them, just wanted to keep myself accountable on it. Starting over again on the energy pre workout.
I wanted to say this earlier but it’s crazy how much I still think about my ex, I kno we would never be good together again. But Everytime I see her I still feel so much love towards her. It’s clearly something I’m not over like I thought. We haven’t been a thing in over 4 or 5 years but still idk it’s weird. Anyways much love, cleaning up my house and getting ready for a much needed tattoo tomorrow. Yay, I watched king of Staten island last night and main character was a struggling tattoo artist which it wasn’t about tattoos but it was just kind of funny and he was messing his friends up and stuff and then his step dad just let him keep tattooing him and it was just a silly little sign to me. Maybe I’m wrong when I think I see signs but yeah anyways ttyl.

Thanks man
You have 2 beautiful girls with her, of course you’re still going to have love for her. That love doesn’t just disappear because you’re not together. I don’t have any advice on how to deal with it but I just wanted to let you know those feelings are normal.
I have to acknowledge your triple digit milestone. You’re sticking with it even on the shitty days and that’s commendable.
Congratulations Mike!
