That’s how I feel about work today…

This picture is everything. Did you take it?

Do you sell your work? If not you should? You have a gifted eye.:pray:t4:

For once this is not my own pic. Found it on twitter this morning. It’s in Cardiff UK.
My own pics I take with my abominable mobile phone camera 99/100 times. And I’m a total amateur. Thanks for the compliment friend :hugs:

So I’m incredibly tired today and have a few meetings with new clients :yawning_face::yawning_face:.

However, I’m showered and safe and comfortable. I am listening to a zoom AA meetings with coffee and an open heart.

I can’t ask for any thing more today apart from sobriety and peace in my soul. Get to choose a new book to start tonight, I love that moment!

Been reading a sober book alongside my fiction books: it’s the follow up to the ‘Joy of being sober’ which is the authors sliding-door style follow up 7 years into sobriety. It’s inspiring the different versions of events sober Vs inebriated…I really liked the joy of being sober a lot, it resonates.

Have some football to watch later and we plan a nice homemade curry. Life is so good Sober :pray::heart::sparkling_heart:

Hey Bec

Omit tag in the yoga thread.

Proud of you for not buying those smokes. You know what to do…come and share. Prayers and blessings sent to you and your son.

I know the frustration of working in the system and seeing these year plus caseloads especially after vivid for our youth. Devesating they are the future. Hugs my friend.:smiling_face_with_three_hearts::hugs:

It’s very good Des as it’s so easy to relate to. I’m in the UK so taps into the ladette culture here of the 90s etc, how drinking was almost a badge of honour. Worth a read x

Hello all, checking in on Day 25. I have called into the Cathedral on my lunch break and found this beautiful stone, and it called to me so now it is mine. Seemed very timely, and I love the imperfections.

I still don’t know what I am giving up for lent (alcohol seems like cheating :rofl:) I am thinking about adding something positive in instead. Is anyone else taking part?

Third time editing this post, apparently the Cathedral WiFi isn’t that good :grin:

Hope everyone has a wonderful and peaceful day

Day 105

Just checking in. 3:30 this morning, my kid jumps in my bed, I immediately jump up, put him back in his bed. When i left this morning, he was still in his bed. This folks, is progress. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: Sleep during these years is tough, but as long as the caffeine is flowing this morning, i’m good. Have a great day everyone!

When I acted out after a 1.5 yrs clean from SH I called it a slip. I managed to get 6 months again before another slip. Both times it didn’t feel right, something had changed inside me. Now at 10 months clean, I know I can’t say I will never do it again, but I just feel like I have changed.

You have a choice today. You can call this a relapse and fall back into a cycle of self destruction or you can learn from it and call it a day one.

I am very proud you, you are so strong for holding on through those hard emotions the other day. I guess you just needed some more support… and that is possible!!! Try not to beat yourself up, keep moving forward.
