Day 666 clean and sober today :metal:t2::metal:t2::metal:t2::rofl: Iā€™m going to go look at an apartment today before work and see if itā€™s time for me to take the next step in life. Been in a sober living for the past year and a half, one room two beds and with the new job I should be able to afford my own place with no roommates :grin:. I hope everyone has a wonderful day today, love you guys!! :sunglasses::metal:t2:

Thanks! It sounds silly I guess lol I put my armor on everyday, but on days that I know could be especially hard for me (paydays or stressful events etc), I always put my armor and picture myself in battle. Sort of boost/hype myself up lol hope ur day is amazing today!

Thanks dude for the accountability. I agree the morning definitely has to start off with recovery right away. The bottle is always out to get me if I donā€™t keep my guard up. Itā€™s so powerful itā€™s crazy. The bottle could seriously say contains rabies, and Windshield wiper fluid, and Probably I would still think about Going back from time to time. Cool thing is realizing that itā€™s just a thought, and itā€™s normal to want a drink. Seems like you have a pretty cool day ahead of you. Iā€™m going to make a post here in a little bit on the main thread. But for real thanks again for the motivation. I have a pretty similar Day ahead of me

Stay strong my friend.
You are doing all the right things, just keep your nose pointed in the right direction and you will be ok.

On a side noteā€¦you have great taste in music.

Good morning everyone! 160 days sober !! Iā€™m learning to trust in this process. Iā€™m learning to not be afraid to reach out on this website, and in AA . Iā€™m learning to be OK with my feelings. Iā€™m trying to practice gratitude even when I think thatā€™s not possible. How I spend my time, and who I spend my time with greatly matters. I keep telling myself thereā€™s 24 hours in a day. Going back to a drink only sounds good if I let that delusion mess with my head. If I utilize all the tools, and continue to stay real about what drinking has done to my life, then I will never go back.

Today is ā€¦ music , food , water , commutation, exercise, prayer , love , acceptance and Not letting any person or thing get in the way of my recovery. Thank you everyone for the support. Hope everyone has a great weekend

Me toooo itā€™s soooo crazy epic and sweet to actually be part of a healthy loving relationship. Keeping my 3 meetings a week, Dharma talk meditation sits, and checking in with my sponsor and sponsee bros through it all.

Work has been good! My client has been relaxing in her room, which is giving me time to work on my very own tattoo design for hubby to do on me this Friday. Iā€™ll post my drawing in the tattoo thread and explain it there, so that it doesnā€™t clog up the check in thread lol. Anyway, thongs are good! Canā€™t complain! Hope everyone is well :heartpulse:

My kiddo is obsessed with carwashes! She is scared to death when we go through one, but she loves watching videos of them. And oddly enough, thereā€™s so many videos on YouTube. There seems to be a lot of car wash enthusiasts out there!

Checking in here early Saturday afternoon. Iā€™m 162 days in and feeling great. Iā€™m on my first bike ride of the year here. Itā€™s the first happy bike ride without combating a hangover in many years. And while itā€™s true Iā€™ve been swimming several times a week, it turns out this bike ride is kicking my butt a bit. Looks like Iā€™m gonna have to get out and do it some more!

I hope you are all well and can have a safe and sober and fun weekend!

I clearly remember my struggle to stay sober for more than 3 days. It took 7 months of trying.

Strength and hope to everyone. :kissing_heart:
