Day 46 AF
Pretty good weekend. Got out on the push bike a couple times, had a visit from my eldest son and daughter in law, read quite a few chapters of "This Naked Mindā€™, it really is an eye/mind opener.
Hope everyone is kicking goals.

Itā€™s becoming abit of a common misconception around me lately. Itā€™s starting to annoy me so Iā€™m making a statement, to people who donā€™t even come on here and will never see it :joy:

Had a lovely day with my son yesterday, it was a miserable day so watched a film 1917, amazing whole film was taken in one shot. Making happy, sober memories :heart:

@MolotovMoxie congratulations on your 6 months Kimberly :clap:
@Newlife5 congratulations on your 90 days Cindy.
@Becsta @Its_me_Stella love your affirmations, I remember practising alcohol ones in my early days and thinking ā€œbut these are not trueā€ and one day they are, great tools
@Bran522 sorry to read about your dog they really are integral members of the family, 20 years is impressive, but still very sad
@C_8 nice to ā€œseeā€ you Cate and great numbers
@CATMANCAM well done to making CA meeting thatā€™s a great achievement

Have a strong 24 hours all :green_heart:

#Day 1251 :seedling:
Ok, going to a big surprise party today. It involves a lot of drinking and me feeling awkward because I do not know a lot of people there.
But going anyway because I love the party animal who is in the centre of it :wink:
Bought myself a new blouse to upgrate my selfconfidence.
Tomorrow Iā€™ll be happy I survived it sober and I think I maybe liked it as well. But if it wasnā€™t for that special person I would have chicken out :hugs:
Wish me luck :crossed_fingers:


Picture from a sign I photographed during a walk. It made me laugh. It means ā€œlove is quite complicatedā€ :blush::grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:
Have a great sunday!!

ā€¦1430. Working a Sunday. It isnt bad, slowā€¦so I can get alot extra done. Re-working the schedule as one of my peopleā€™s employment is coming to an end. He is a part time worker, works 3 days a week. He is upset that he is 27 and doesnt have a life. Itā€™s not the 3 days that he works here that prevents that. He is an alcoholic and cannot see that he is drinking his life away.

He threw a pretty big tantrum yesterday in the store.

Just a reminder why I dont drink. Hopefully, one day, he has an epiphany and starts walking the sober path.

@kat261 Congratulations!

Day 558

Had a very sobering AA meeting. My zoom ā€˜home groupā€™ is very small, so we get to have long shares and know each other quite well. Two people were obviously struggling, in different ways, tonight and it made me sad. I hear people say ā€œthanks for the reminder of how serious the fight isā€ and always thought it sounded a bit glib. But I am genuinely grateful for the lesson that it is a tooth and nail fight.

Happy Sunday! I love waking up not shaking and being in a fog! Usually on a Sunday morning I would jump out of bed and have a beer for breakfast (and pay big time on Monday because I drank a case of beer by the time Sunday was over). Now I do my morning routine of prayer, reflection, and preparation for a great sober day.

Time for coffee and then the Zoom Sunday morning meeting.

Have an awesome day my friends!

Iā€™ve never heard of a baby shower that included alcohol. IMO it would extremely rude to toast a pregnant woman and drink in front of her. Iā€™m glad you chose to not expose yourself to that situation. Good for you protecting your sobriety.
