I have a hospital appointment later to check out a tiny blister near my eye, I thought it was an age spot, but my dentist told me to get it checked out, so I did. If I was drinking I would have ignored it, but I am sober so doing the sensible thing. Not thought too much about it, shall wait and see.

@siand how exciting moving to a farm, hard but rewarding work, hope you getter sleep sorted.
@Rockstar24777 congratulations on 20 mo ths you rocking it :slightly_smiling_face:

And besides that @anon53116147 you know tattoo lines change over the years on a body. They never stay as sleek as you first put them on the skin :see_no_evil:
Again, your tattoo looks great! Be proud of your work. I have many tattoos as you know. If an artist wouldn’t be proud and confidence about the ink he ore she just put on my body I won’t be back. It would make me less happy with the result beside how nice it is.
So be confidence even if you’re not.

  1. Coffee. I have the Monday off. Makes me miss a work meeting I won’t be missing. Going to the gym, I haven’t been on the elliptical for ever. High time. And there’s an old friend coming over for dinner. It will be Tuesday before I know it. Sober and clean.
    Have as good a week as you all can friends. Make it clean and sober. It’s the only way to a better happier life for all of us. Love from Amsterdam.

Missed it by. 1 lol :laughing:

But yay 300 :heart:

It’s amazing seeing the months add up
 it’s amazing what change can happen in your life with a little bit of time. Anything is possible. Everything Is possible. You just have to stay clean and sober and take daily actionable steps towards your goals. And slowly your goals will be achieved. It just takes time. And time is all that’s guaranteed in this life until its not :pray::heart::innocent:

The best kind of meeting!

Love the pic. Reminds me of a book I read when I was young - The Wheel on the School. Dutch book although I read it in English!

Morning all, checking in on Day 9. Got through my first weekend so really pleased with that.

Seem to be a little gloomy the last couple of days, and my husband seems a little down. I don’t really know how to help him. This is going to sound so selfish too, but I feel like I am having to be self obsessed to stay focused. He is very quiet and grumpy and I don’t have the energy to tackle that. I ask him how he is and if there is anything I can do, but past that I can’t give it headspace (although I obviously am as cried about it last night). I worry that me being sober is shining a light on the evenings sat in silence.

It is half term here so I have the day alone with my boy so excited about that. It is sunny as well so determined that we should spend some time together outside. It is so rare that it is just the two of us, and he is 12 so it won’t be too long before he wants to see friends over me.

Have a good day all :blush:

@Rockstar24777 20 Months! Awesome work Rob! Congrats!
@Its_me_Stella Beautiful Stella!
@apes2020 Ever stronger lady! Huge congrats on 300!
@siand Indeed :sunglasses:. Funny thing is that the first time I heard of that book and the writer it was here on TS. The writer was born here but moved to the USA as an 8 year old.
@JennyH Congrats on making it through the weekend and on to your next full week! Please don’t feel guilty for what you are doing. Yes, you are choosing for yourself. Its a cliche but totally true nonetheless: you can only take care of others when you have taken care of yourself first. And you are by being sober.
And yes, being sober indeed will shed a light on dysfunctional patterns, in your life, in your relationships. There’s work to do up ahead. It’s called recovery. It’s a chance at a better happier life for you and for yours. I’m glad you’re on this road, and I’m glad you’re on this road together with all of us. You’re not alone. Together we can do this. Keep going. Hugs.

Day 40 AF.
I think I remember reading something here like ‘It’s not about counting the sober days, it’s about making the sober days count’.
Can anyone confirm? Can’t find the quote via google.

Congrats @apes2020
