Daily Check Ins: Day 1
Today I woke up feeling clean and clear after having a nice shower and drinking a lot of water. Right now, I am telling myself that I am ok, I am a good person, everyone makes mistakes and that I am strong.
Quote of the day:
“Forgive yourself for your faults and mistakes and move forward without looking back.”
Stay safe and blessed always everyone:heart:
For me looking back is something I do to keep me away from a relapse 
I think for me, looking back is painful because of the events that took place around others that have made me feel embarrassed and to also see how totally different I am soberly. I regret all of those actions and teaching myself to move forward and forgive and break a cycle feels right but I do understand that in order to not make that same mistake its good to use past experiences as a references 
Day 17
This day last time, in December, I cracked and broke sobriety. I refused to do the work, didn’t want to be uncomfortable or reach within and restructure. Didn’t want to be truthful. Hell, I would even say out loud to others how much I hated the truth. I was owned and operated by my trauma. I didn’t exist. It’s been hard and I don’t know the answers most of the time, but I’m here now living honestly and having the most successes I’ve had in years. Even in my failures.
Today was a great day. I single-handedly created an entire Easter feast my family and friends loved. I was so nervous a few times but it wasn’t the first rodeo so I used my tools and ended up with an amazing drug and drama free day. On a holiday! I usually crack at these kinds of things but not even once today I even thought I needed it or wanted it. I’m so happy I’m becoming my own boss.
Tomorrow’s my best streak in years. I’m gonna be here celebrating. Here’s to us, and here’s to everyone who’s doing our thing.
Outstanding!

Instant coffee. We have one more day in this area. Lets make it a good one. Sober and clean. Visited Adrspach NP yesterday. Very pretty. Today some more hiking I think.
Have as good a week as you all can friends. Make it clean and sober or nothing will come of it. Love from Svoboda nad Upou.
@CloudzBeBlue Makes me glad to see you check in here Shanyce! One day at a time for all of us.
@mamador Love that post! Here’s to you and all you do!
@SoberWalker Enjoy your walk Claudia. I will mine.
@SadMemeQueen Great idea Megan. We could all do with that. Lots of positives your way.
Thank you!
This post made me smile! Your doing it right in the face of whats cracked before- I whole heartedly admire your courage and you rocked out making a meal for others:metal:t2: Yup I identify with that, some times can be just “that” one way-I so identify w that, Had a couple times this last week and here we are-we maintained safety and a deeper level of knowing it can work and hell yeah lets do this right?! 
! Good on you! And thank you for sharing this.
Thanks so much for the appreciation and glad to share! Lol yeah I try to wake up and sorta think let’s (metaphorically) get this bread; and some days there’s a lotta bread, some days a couple slices 
, but either way it goes I agree! Just keep maintaining and doing work bit by bit 
Have a good one!!
Lol! slices right??! lol love it! love metaphores. You too have a great one:pray:t2:. Im ready to turn a Monday into a Saturday stroll finding something to smile about and an appreciation of my life even in a some small way:metal:t2:have a good night.
Good morning all, Day 10.
Also Day 8 of covid and it is dragging on! It comes in waves and now I have a lot of pain in my head/eyes. I also have a dark spot in my vision which isn’t going away. I am technically allowed out of the house today but not sure it would be safe to actually see other people.
Lovely idea @SadMemeQueen to include something positive. I am sorry you are having such worrying times.
@Mno thank you for sharing your beautiful pictures whilst away. It has been wonderful to see.
I was on the mend yesterday so managed a lovely walk in the woods near me (noone around so able to socially distance). We discovered so much of the area that we didn’t know by foot during lockdown. I feel a bit stupid but lived in this area all my life and had no idea how many farms were around us, and footpaths to walk (love right to roam!) We always went to the same places or drove before.
Bluebells are out, and everything is looking so beautiful. Nature heals me and could feel it in my soul yesterday.
Have a wonderful day all.
55 days sober from alcohol and 16 days from vaping 
I went out last night i normally avoid going out but needed to just get out of the house. Small group of friends who all know i dont drink so i felt completely comfortable and i got my 0% beer. Only needed the one as i dont down it like i did alcohol 
they all had lots of drinks and shots but i was completely ok with this and had a great time. I then waved them off when they went to hit the clubs. I dont do late nights but i did make it till 11! Then drove home and got a good night sleep waking up refreshed with no regrets today
Have a great day everyone!
Day 102 AF

Thank you Donna:pray:t4:

Had a great Easter. The message of Easter came through louder this year, than it ever has. There is hope, there is forgiveness, there is redemption.
Hey all, checking in on day 673. I hope everybody has a great one today!
Congratulations on 5 months. Well done. Feels good to be free!
Hey all feeling better. Most of my symptoms have gone. Just a achy body remains. Will attempt to get moving up and around to get myself ready for the week ahead. Thankful ally children are feeling better.
Tomorrow is my daughter’s 17th birthday. 
I am so thankful for her. She is so kind and loving and strong. She fought to be here born at just 1 pound 7oz.
We will celebrate with her friends and some family this coming Friday night holding rollerskating party.
Strong sober 24 all.
