Good morning TS fam!
Woke up feeling grateful! Grateful for the opportunities that God has given me, the people He puts in my path, and the ability He has given me to help others 
Every morning I ask God to direct my thinking and acting, to help me turn my will and my life over to Him, to help me to keep God in the foremost of my thoughts. With God ALL things are possible!!! I am grateful for another day to build a stronger relationship with God and to experience new things that life has to offer! I am realizing that in order for me to stay clean and have any sort of long tern sobriety I NEED to have that connection with my HP. I am learning that me running on self will is a recipe for diasaster. I absolutely do not know how to live life (I mean realistically I haven’t had the chance to learn bcuz I started using at a young age) so it only makes sense that I’m having to learn this now. I am regretful for the things I have done and haven’t done in my past. But my past is just that… my past and it can’t be changed. So onward and up I look, changing my actions and thinking today (for the 24 hours ahead). Doing the next right thing, connecting to God every day and turning my will over multiple times a day. I am tired of fighting myself. I am tired of struggling with my demons. I want peace and serenity in my life and each day is a day of new possibilities to strive for that! I love you guys! Hope you all have an amazing Tuesday

80 DAYS SOBER
I honestly don’t know where this time has gone. I can’t remember the last time that I felt I needed a drink or even consciously thought about having one. I know harder days will be waiting and I’m prepared for them, I just feel that what used to be conscious thoughts are now not and the thinking about how I won’t drink has now simply become a normal state of mind.
Promotion opportunity has arisen at work and having failed in my attempt last year through the haze of days between drinking, trying to rebuild my relationship and just being in a general bad state of mental health I just have the feeling that I am going to smash it this time.
I have Clarity of mind, I am able to focus on what I need to do and I feel more prepared than ever!
@Twizzlers & @TigerMatriarch thanks for the chats over the past few days, hope you’re both doing well!
Everyone else keep fighting!

Day 571
Leaving tomorrow for North Carolina. It’s a 9+ hour journey but I was able pay for the plane tickets with my points! 
At least it’s not a red eye. So, last minute packing to do today. I didn’t get anything done yesterday. (Except made our roommate birthday cupcakes and then ate 5 of them 
… oops.) My daughters dad had to work so me and my daughter went on a Valentine’s Date to Hooters LOL… the girls doted over my daughter which was fun.
@SoberWalker Glad it wasn’t a heart attack! Hope he is doing okay today. Very scary!
@Charlie_C Nice one!!

Day 124. Was super tired so just slept way more then I should have, my mom even called me out on it and did her googling research and says it’s severe ADHD, I’ve already said and been diagnosed for it for a long time now. She says I need to get some Adderall so I can atleast live a little. Like noooo, I will not be touching Adderall no thank you, and the doctor last prescribed me a non stimulant for my ADHD which did absolutely nothing for me… life isn’t going to be all rainbows and peaches just because I’m sober, I am sober tho so just be grateful. Man ppl expect to much out of you sometimes

What came up reading this: don’t compare your insides with everybody else’s outsides.
This is what TS makes so special for me. We can come as we are. And that is for most of us an up and down. Well, for me at least.

Day 16 —
I haven’t posted in a couple days, haven’t been too happy, more emotional and filled with Regret , I’m assuming it’s part of the process but over the last couple days I have had so much regret for everything and anything, keep thinking if I hadn’t did this or done that things would be different, or if I hadn’t drank I could have saved my relationship and family, and now that I’m sober I wonder if it all was just mistakes I had kept making drinking.
I’m trying not to over whelm myself with these thoughts or let me get the best of me , I have been loving being sober and it’s not making me want to drink at all , just wish these feelings would settle or pass sooner than later

I hit the 30 day mark! Woo hoo! We made dinner plans with friends and I let them know that they didn’t need to buy expensive bottles of wine to go with the dinner. I told them I would bring sparkling water with a dessert
