Congrats on great work! Is it not Just a amazing feeling. Keep at it!
Checking in - Day 32
Today, I decided to work from home. Slept in and bought a coffee and lemonade tea for my sweetheart. Iām going to work on a presentation for an upcoming conference and I actually have a video interview this afternoon. Keep me in your prayers that God opens a door for me.
Probably going to the record store this late afternoon

Congratulations Dana heck yeah!!!
Wow thatās amazing! Youāre doing so well. Such a lot of ups and downs but Iām so glad youāre here to share. You are one of the first ones to welcome me here and Iām so grateful to be a part of this amazing community was such amazing beautiful people. Iām so proud of you!
Good morning friends - day 517! If you celebrate this weekend, I hope you have an awesome Easter weekend! My company has Good Friday as a company holiday (because NYSE is closed) and I also took off Monday. Looking forward to a nice long weekend away from work. Picked up some drywall this morning for my bathroom project - probably put in a lot of time there tomorrow and Monday. Today, Linda and I are going to the movies! First time in a while and we have a brand new theater near our house that we want to try - those recliner seats, etcā¦
Have an awesome day! I am going to do mine sober!
Day 149
Just checking in. Have a great day
Checking in 5.3 years sober. I am finally on Step 9: āMade direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.ā My sponsor is having me do a living amends to myself for negative self talk that causes me harm. I will also do an amends to my older brother for drunk-texting him back when I was drinking. The gist of it was that he used to pick on me when I was growing up and this caused me a lot of issues later in life, like lack of self-confidence, that I felt kept me from achieving what I wanted. I blamed him in my texts - so I owe him an apology. He is a good brother now!

About to leave for Los Angels for a concert with my wife tonight. Then, tomorrow morning we fly to Cabo for a week. Non of this would have been possible if I wasnāt clean.
PS Happy 4th Sober Date to someone pretty freaking awesome. Thank you for always giving me someone to chase.
Wow, huge huge congratulations, Iām so pleased for you, you deserve to celebrate, youāve totally earned it.

1563 Wanted to do a quick check-in. Iām so excited to prepare Easter for the kids this year. The twins and the baby donāt know what the Easter Bunny is, so Iāve had a blast shopping for baskets and treats!
Be kind friends! Have a wonderful Friday and weekend!
So tired. So tired. Trying to figure out what to do next.
Day 41.
Unexpected trigger at a grocery store i havent been to since i got sober. Id usually pick up some cider and wine. I walked through that aisle and got a non alcoholic soda. I got coffee and a frozen tiramisu.
The frozen food i got has clearly been thawed and put back in so i might have to call and get a replacement??? I dont even know what to do about that, it hasnt happened before.
Very overwhelmed so i might sit and commit to at least finishing art. Sold a piece i loved to a friend for a little less than it was worth.
Right back at ya Dana. Great for you. So happy to see this.
Have a wonderful Easter weekend
Iām sorry to read that youāre feeling overwhelmed. I simply donāt go down those aisles at a market. Even at 8 months sober, itās like Iām teasing myself to see what Iāll do. Know that these triggers become easier to manage, and happen a lot less, the longer you stay sober. Sending you hugs and strength.
Great job on 41 days!
Thinking of youā¤ļø it must be hard when the grocery stores sell alcohol. We only have one grocery store around that sells wine but most donāt.
How frustrating about the frozen food!!!
I hope you are feeling less overwhelmed. Did you end up doing some art?
Totally teared up. So trueā¦ Thanks for sharingā¤ļø
That is amazing! Its shocking how much money we all have saved! Congrats again!!
