Hello lovely sober friends. Checking in on day 292. The last days have been good. I received some amazing news about a particular effort that paid off at work, and this was something that I absolutely could not have pulled off if I was still drinking. Feeling very grateful for sobriety tonight. Wishing you all peace.

Day 29 of no self harm

My grandpaā€™s memory/overall mental capacity seem to be going downhill. Itā€™s really scaring me. I know heā€™s 82, heā€™s old. But my grandpa is the only person I have supporting me who is also in the same town as me. If/when he eventually passes, I have no one. My grandpa is my world. Heā€™s also helped protect me from family abusers and I fear that they will take advantage when he is gone. He is getting his gallbladder removed on the 4th so Iā€™m praying all goes well. The anxiety has been messing with me though.

I started a crimiani investigation class today. This will be 8 weeks long and I still have 8 weeks of statistics left. Statistics is manageable but I forgot how fast paced 8 week classes are. But Iā€™m almost halfway done with my associates degree (major is criminal justice) I canā€™t let myself fall behind. I plan to get a bachelorā€™s eventually but Iā€™d like to at least have an associates in case I never get a bachelorā€™s.

I got a little less than half of my criminal investigation homework done at the library today. Tomorrow and Friday Iā€™m going to clean my room so I can work on school in my room. A messy room stresses me out when Iā€™m studying.

I hope you all are doing well

Grandma had hers removed at the same age and lived another 17 years. Our old ones are tougher than we think. Praying here heā€™ll come good. The old lady was swimming by the sea like a child a week later.

Coffee. Itā€™s cold out. Snowā€™s on the way. But Iā€™m OK. Last night was stressful, too much stuff happening at the same time. But I slept pretty well, I reignited the heating, got things to do today like therapy. And even though I felt pretty low and confused at some point, using never even entered my mind. It would not help. Never ever. I know that and Iā€™m 100 sure of it%.
Have as good a day as you all can all friends. Make it sober and clean or nothing will come of it. Love from Amsterdam.

@Wakikki @Pica @AllyP Big belated congrats on your milestones!
@Mat77 Sorry for the result Mat.
@anon9289869 Very recognizable and great stuff Jesse! Happy for you, keep going.

Day 449
Itā€™s been quite a dayā€¦ The kinda day that makes me question everything. Doubt myself. And think too much. Days I just wanna go to sleepā€¦

Ready for the pieces to start falling into place. That is all.

Checking in on day 47! Sober.
Just got back from therapy. Had a nice session. Constructive, helpfull. Iā€™m gratefull for those sessions.
They give me the confidence to keep moving forward and to look at all the positive things sobriety has to offer.

Life is good right now.

Have a great sober/clean day! ODAAT

Thanks! I know. I just feel stuck. And Iā€™m fine most of the time. Just sometimes I look around like why am I not progressing?! Then I get over it and back to living.

Exactly that. At times it will keep happening. Just less and less with ever bigger intervals. I felt it last night too. Now Iā€™m facing the new day much more positive. Upward and onward. Small steps, and 5 steps forward and 4 back at times. And all that. Hugs.

What other answer is there, but a smile and a feeling of respect, when your Ukranian crew informs you they threw away the Russian flag ? :roll_eyes:

8 weeks 2 days. Life is rolling on. My family is happier and thankful for the changes. I am yet to appreciate them. Been tired the last week or so. Just want to sleep.

Any itā€™s 9.12pm. I can hit the sack guilt free now. Tomorrow is another day.
