Hey April
I love your nails too. Yesss loving the fact that money is going to self care instead of self destruction.
Long time needed hair apt for my daughter and I tommmorow…might even do a Mani pedi after. Thank ful…thankful that I am loving myself enough to care about investing in my self again 
By the way that sky high masacra you recommend from your beauty thread…is everything.
Thank you April.
Great work . Day 9 is huge. Almost double digits. 
1246 days sober from alcohol.
Thought about scotch the other day though. Luckily it was just a fleeting thought.
Going to do some intense workouts more often. I need to. I am just…it’s almost like I have giganticism or whatever. I’ll lift weights, get bigger, then eat, and then I’ll need to lift weights again, and I just keep getting bigger, but nothing is super toned yet. It looks weird, but I gotta be strong. I want to be in shape, but also healthy. Nothing better than your health.
Stay strong all
Day 66.
Happy Hump Day.
Feeling good. Yesterday was a good day and today will be also. Got half of my Yoga assignment completed with the goal of completion today and he submission tomorrow. Will soon be officially certified as a Yoga Educator for children and teens and can start putting action to my business goals.
My youngest is turning 10 on Tuesday. So planning his at home party…as we are still only restricted to 5 people. Again being creative and ensuring the house is decorated like a Wonderland. He wants blue and gold decorations this year. I spend the entire night decorating and they wake up to a house full of decorations. I’ve done this for all my children…it’s what I’m good at. Thankful🙏🏾
A good friend gifted me a fit bit versa…wow has the world opened up too me on another level…I just donated my CDs 
Good sober day all
Isn’t it SO GOOD! 
its really the best I’ve found in a while, that is affordable.
That’s so exciting you get to spend that time with your daughter together doing that 
that’s special 
My hair Is so overdue I’m dying 
lol. But I can’t splurge just yet till I’m all moved into the new apartment. Doing the clean and sober adulting thing means I actually prioritise my bills first now… never thought I’d see this day come lol. It’s a great feeling being responsible 
Post me pics after you and your daughter get your hair done okies 
Thx Mel! 
Checking in on day 263. Temperatures here in the American midwest took a sharp downturn with windchill around -20°F this morning so the kids’ schools turned to a digital learning day. Poor kids can’t get winter closure days like we had as kids, now they do it at home. Call it covid “progress.” At any rate, it will take the morning to get them through their work and then I’ll hit the gym. The new year resolutioners should start to fade away as we approach the end of January so I’m looking forward to that lol. Have a great day everyone. It’s a great day to be above ground and sober.
I am thinking about this a lot. It is in our nature and the trere I mean human nature that we always would grab the good feelings that come right away instead of accepting or believing that in the long term our hard work will pay off. That is why we are here, I guess, as we all have seen that the short term good feelings are not forever and in the long term it just sucks.
I can see this that no matter how bad and end-of-my-life I feel, there is a chance it will be better tomorrow.
Day 70
Just checking in, hope all is well. Everyone have a great day/evening!!
Day 1179 AF and 25 days without diet coke. Time flies by. Not feeling strong about it.
Have a good and sober day!
Hey all, checking in on day 591. I hope everybody has a good one today!
I think Stella nailed this. You are a good kind person Charlie and you’re gonna work thru this and be better and stronger for it.
Congratulations!! That’s huge!!
This is so true. I’ll let you into a little secret, it’s absolutely impossible to become an alcoholic if you don’t drink alcohol.
Unfortunately for those of us that have and discovered we are powerless over it we now have to become the person who chooses not to drink it.
Once we 100% make this decision we must 100% do everything possible not to pick up that first one. If we don’t pick up the first one all the rest will take care of itself.
Can you go 12 hours without picking up that first drink?, Of course you can bc we can do anything for 12 hours that would appall us if we thought we had to do it for the rest of our life.
I’ll worry about tommorows drink tommorow but just for today I’m going to give it a miss thank you. 
Absolutely 100% feeling this!!! Thank you for the amazing self awareness reminder that I don’t have to worry about "forever " !!! Just for today it’s going to be a HARD PASS on taking that first drink!!!
Day 114 AF. It’s frigidly cold here but the sun is shining. Work, work and more work today. Heigh Ho! Off to work I go!
I’m going to join you. Great sober days BTW 
New here- 31 days and feeling strong, motivated and very grateful.
Just out of residential rehab and in my part-time intensive outpatient program.
Grateful for this community.
It’s great to have you here and well done on your sober days read lots, post lots and always reach out when your struggling. Personally I like to use my energy helping people before they fall than having to pick up the pieces after.
