@anon74766472 Ah just, the quotes ! Well, guess Iām not really gonna revive it though. But since Buddhism more then ever is an important part of my life, thereāll be some quotes here and there I guess 
@Mbwoman well look at you going at almost a year now ! Great job !
@anon57836609 Hey kiddo Guess I was somewhat different back then as well. When two argue, two are causing it so apologies as well for my part. Guess our common diagnosis conflicted sometimes which by now I believe may at least for a part have been caused by me refusing to accept the inevitable.
@Hopeful777 thanks Marie 
Off to visit a friend (yes, I actually made someā¦ my social skills have improved apparently).
A little nervous because he is one of the few I recently sent an app ācoming outā and my twisted mind still tells me people will reject me for that, especially males.
But if thereās one thing those 895 days taught me, itās that being yourself, your vulnerable self, is the being your best and only self.
Have a great day all !

I just finished Step 3 with my sponsor this afternoon. (Green and gold NA). I have learnt the meaning of hope, faith and trustā¦ Itās incredible. 
. I never had hope or faith or trust in active addiction. Today is a different story

Day 97. Finally out of my pre work out that I bought not that long ago. I think it was around day 85 I caved. So itās lasted me literally two weeks and itās like a 30 day supply. So going to try avoiding that again I do feel better when I donāt take it. Despite my little complaint yesterday I am grateful, things will look up I know they will

Day 2. My dad is responding to meds, and has good Covid care. He used his video call from ICU to smile amd tell me he knows I will be strong. So, for him and me - going to stay on track this time.

So fuckin glad concerts are back. I havenāt seen tool yet, might try and catch them when they come to Philly in February. Caught Slipknot/Volbeat right before covid hit. And FFDP/ 3 days grace right after that. Took the kids to the Hella Mega Tour over the summer. Trying to make it a point to go to a couple a year now. Have a great time.

Have so much fun! Tool was one of the best live shows Iāve ever seen (sober, even). Danny Carey is an absolute beast! Theyāre all amazing musicians and performers.

Day 13! Found a sponsor last night to do the steps and big book. Sheās very practical and to the point where I am a rambler so she will probably help me stay on topic

I havenāt been checking in much lately except to celebrate another sober day in someoneās life. I think itās real important. Every day sober should be celebrated.
Anywayā¦ā¦
Checking in 2 years 2 weeks and 3 days clean and sobah! Instead of days I like seeing that 2 years and change. Itās a great reminder how far Iāve come.
About 2 years and 2 weeks ago I checked in here planning a relapse on my big SIX-OH birthday. A bunch of total strangers with a special kind of love talked me out of it. Iām proud to be able to say Iāve never had a drink in my 6th decade of life. And Iām proud to be one of those Internet strangers now.
I know when the urge to pick up is so fucking strong we donāt even think about checking in here first. The addict brain is so loud and it devours our tool box and it convinces us we are not good enough or some shit. This place works if you work it. And you got to want it really bad. Keep checking in. Donāt let addiction win. Take a time out. Grab the app and reach out. Someone will get back to you. We got your back.
I think itās time for me to make a change. @LeeHawk
Iām not drinking today.
And Iām sure as hell not drinking tomorrow!

Well I made it to 30 days! Feels like this came fast. I felt so hopeless when I firsted started this journey. Now, I feel better than I have in years.
I feel strong, healthy, and happy enough to enjoy things in life again. Iāve started hiking and painting again. When I was drinking, I could never enjoy anything. It feels so good to be free
Happy Wednesday everyone!

Omg Iām sorry u are subjected to hearing that 
my hubby says the same thing! It seems like whenever I show any other emotion other than happy or neutral he will ask me, āDid u take ur meds today?ā Itās likeā¦ we are human and we feel emotion and STILL feel emotion on meds
