Thanks Sian,
I’ve been going to 12 step meetings twice a week and doing service, which is one of the main things keeping me sober. I honestly don’t believe a lot of the rhetoric behind it though so I do feel kind of a freud. I’ve been using the ‘take what works for you and leave the rest’ - and having regular groups which I am responsible at helps (but I feel pressure to work the steps)

Happy Saturday! I hope you get some great endorphins from that work on the treadmill. Being able to really exercise has been one of my fav parts of being free of alcohol!
Have a great day!

Happy Saturday everyone!
Today will be day 121 and I couldn’t be more pleased with how I feel. The cravings are behind me and the new habits are getting to be more solid and more comforting.
The early mornings are still my favorite and any morning I get to stretch out in the swimming pool and feel my strength is exhilarating. I’m making it through another Wisconsin winter, this time in a decent mood. I sleep well and am able to maintain a kind and calm mood throughout most of my work days. Anxiety is significantly reduced and I am able to be present in my relationships and my work without irritation.
I occasionally have an NA beer and I’ve brilliantly deduced that NA wine tastes like grape juice. 
Otherwise during these cold months I drink some lovely herbal teas or just water! I can’t say that I’ve lost any weight yet, but I feel good and I feel more physically fit. I’m super excited to get to spring and summer and once again really enjoy early morning bike rides and hiking. I have lots of camping trips planned and am looking forward to the way that will feel without the constant negotiation of trying to manage the booze.
Overall I understand that I have gained freedom. And for that I am grateful.
I wish you all peace.

Good morning everyone Kat here checking in on Day 206
Had to call in sick this weekend due to having gastro symptoms yesterday still but… cross my fingers… none today so far. Feeling good but still sleepy. Got my Covid PCR test back and it was Negative which is something at least to be grateful for.
I think I will not push it and give the gym a miss today, however there is a mountain of laundry to get done and some apartment cleaning.
I did miss a Zoom meeting last night, chose to sleep instead, but will go to an in-person this afternoon.
Love and hope you all have a great clean and sober day!

Day like 133 I believe, just saying hi and much love. Can’t lie last night was kind of hard… ex got the girls some toys that ended up turning into some w.w.e smack downs, I seriously hate these meds my daughter takes for her adhd I wish my ex would just let her be off them. Yes they help a little, but the shit is a drug and I can see when autumns body starts getting used to it and she will lash out and just have the hardest times bc it’s like she is withdrawing. Idk I just know I hate these fucking meds they are like drugs are body just wants more and more. Treadmill went from coming Monday and now pushed to march 8th. It’s ok everything happens the way it’s supposed too. Have a good day

Morning check in
Day 12
Currently at work and working alone with a client. Really hoping it is a smooth shift. My client seems abit on edge this morning and experiencing alot of self talk/delusions 
I will do my best to distract her once she’s done her morning routine.
My coworker (the one I owe the apology to) came upstairs to grab something. She was super distant and didn’t even make eye contact with me. I was pleasant with her and tried to chat with her to be able to give my apology. She left as quick as she came. I shouldve just blurted the apology out but that didn’t happen. Maybe I will cross paths with her again during my shift.
Grateful to be clean today. I always think back to my hard days (like yesterday), and am so grateful that I didn’t slip up.
Wanting to get back on track with my health too. But really struggling to find the motivation to get up at 530am.
Anyway, hope everyone stays clear from the addictions today! Thinking of u all! Have a happy Saturday everyone!
