Hello, friends. Checking in on day 267. I am up early making pancakes for the fam. Big snow storm is in its way supposedly. There must be flowers stirring down under all that snow, ice and frozen ground, right?
@Mno congratulations on 1000 (and 1001) days! You are very much an inspiration.

Good morning friends! It is another Saturday and now it is March! I’m pleased to have made it through another week without the troubles that alcohol brings. I worked hard this week and made progress in the classroom. I swam in the pool a few times and slept pretty well.
I am struggling with the emotions that come with reading the news about the war in the Ukraine. Im 57 years old and have spent my life being attentive to events. It is so hard to see the suffering and feel so helpless. And then I just don’t feel right about avoiding it either.
And my anxiety about the potential for nuclear war is not helping. Ugh.
In other news, the hubby and I just reserved a little cabin in Missouri for my spring break in two weeks. I’m so looking forward to hiking and relaxing with him and the dogs. And having enjoyed our Christmas vacation in sobriety, I know how to keep my safe routines going and really enjoy the time. I just bought new hiking shoes too! The sober time app has kept track of how much money I’ve saved in sobriety, and now that is going to something very fun!
I wish you all a peaceful week ahead and I encourage us all to keep focused on our sobriety so other good things can come along!

Checking in day 6. Finished the work week successfully. Feel better now than I did day 1. Listening to a Michael Sealey sleep hypnosis (highly recommend) on youtube and taking a nap. Exercise later for a boost. Sober is better

You’re not at all alone. I am also very much struggling to process these emotions as the war drags on. It is a helpless feeling.
Your spring break plans sound like a perfectly timed peaceful respite! I hope you and your husband enjoy some time to de-stress.

@Miranda I’m feeling better. I made it through the two most stressfuls days on the job I have had in a long time. Taking the time to just rest my mind for 10 to 15 minutes to meditate really helped. I too got myself some fancy things to drink, I got some nice sparkling water. Makes me feel good!
@Chiron I’m looking forward to this weekend. I picked up reading again. I started a series of four books that I have wanted to read for the longest time, but just felt like I never had time to because of the drunken weekends. I’m discovering other things that I might want to try as well. I’m in this discovering phase about myself right now. Which is a little scary, but also really exciting!
I’m on day 6 now and am feeling good about today. But I also know that feeling good means I can’t let up. I need to still be vigilant, or I’ll let myself slip. And just knowing that puts a smile on my face this morning.
I’ll see you all tomorrow when I add another day to the tally! Take care everyone!

21 days! That’s super! I’m on day five, and absolutely need to remind myself the same thing. I can NEVER have just one drink!!! I’ve tried to convince myself that I can, and it just didn’t work for me EVER… Not in ten years, so why would it work now? It’s my brain chemistry. As soon as I take one sip, my brain is like ZING💥…"more more more more.
I won’t do it. I won’t ever lie to myself again.
I can not drink-ever.
Glad you’re here.
This place is the reason I’ve made it to day 5, and I’m so excited to keep going.

I’m on day 5, and so excited, but Im also aware of the fear that this feeling good can lead to letting it all go. I get a little anxious when I think about that, so I don’t want to feel tooooo good and I’m also really trying not to think too far ahead. The thought of this feeling slipping away scares the hell out of me. I just keep reading and feeling inspired that others have made it so far.
