Today I sat in the car in the car park at the shops and had a back and forth conversation with myself about not buying alcohol. Anyone walking passed would of thought I was crazy 
The boys came back from the field with beers and I wanted to stay and chat but reminded myself I had things to do, it was hard, not for cravings, but the desire/ and breaking a routine.
8pm, watching the footy and no beer, feeling funny but Iām calm and now happy I stayed away from the shops

300 days is a bit of a landmark for me because the last time I slipped was at 295. As far as I can tell this is the longest stretch of sobriety for me in decades. It is amazing how life has improved by removing alcohol, blackouts and hangovers from the equation. Not every day is easy, but every day is worth it.
Hope everyone is doing well. Hey congratulations @Sunny11 on your double 300!

Day 98.
Sitting at the gym this a.m.(deadlifts and bench!) ruminating over something I canāt control, I thought about the serenity prayer. I really thought about being able to accept the things I cannot change. And it sang out to me.
I know what I can control and what I canāt, but it doesnāt stop me from trying to constantly analyze every situation. I realized very vividly how that is a massive sign and symptom of my cPTSD. I spent so much of the past 2 decades trying to always be on careful watch, trying to anticipate, situational awarenessā¦and thatā¦ that shit is HARD to not do, because I didnāt die. And neither did my kids.
Long-winded way of saying though I wrote a goal, manifestation, whatever you want to call it to not be afraid and stop trying to control what I really cannot control, having a little deeper insight into my anxiety, panic, and probably depression (first time Iāve ever dared to write depression) is helpful.
Hereās to another day! As so many of my friends here have said: sober, above ground, blessedā¦ the list goes on. < 3
