I deleted my FB app today as I was wasting a lot of time on it. I’m going to check in on it once or twice a day and see how that goes.
I hope you get the chance to relax today. X

Day 453
Kind of a wierd AF # to be checking in here with but “it is what it is” lol. I’m happily out in the 3d world dealing with life and its ups & downs. And doing it AF even if I didn’t know if I wanted it in the first place. More time, more money, more clarity of myself are some of my ongoing benefits so I’ll take it and just keep going. I hope those who are struggling look at my # and see that it is doable for themselves. It definitely is worth it. Don’t give up on yourselves. Best Wishes.

Thank you.
My faves are the LaCroix especially the Pamplemousse, grapefruit flavor. And I’ve been getting into the Spindrift lately. It has more fruit flavor and still 0 calories I like the new Pink Lemonade and Lemon flavored ones.
And just plain soda these days too.

Thanks so much I appreciate it a lot! There’s definitely always work to be done right now and I’m trying to stay humble about the progress I’ve made so far. Honestly it’s hard sometimes when I already feel such a big difference, but I have to watch out for the pink cloud lol.
I think in the next few months especially, I’m excited to see where my possibilities will grow. We’ll see though and thanks again for all the support!
Day 32
The work continues; heeding the reminders that I need to have caution not to let my enthusiasm get the best of me.
I know about the pink cloud syndrome.
There’s still a lot of rose colored glasses moments where I need to remove those and look at it from an empathetic broader point of view.
Continuing with all the baby steps being part of the picture. I won’t let those small but important skill sets get pushed to the wayside as I have done in the past.
Had a lot of honest conversations yesterday with my husband; it was a good point of reflection that there is plenty of repair left. Not to say what I have done doesn’t matter but I certainly need to not lose focus of the bigger picture in my life right now.
I’m not just doing this on a whim, but to make lifelong behavioral changes ultimately and not be an aggressive apathetic dick all the time, to be honest.
Yes, I’m being kind and patient with myself, as much as I can at least, but also starting starting to have real talks internally about other people needing to absolutely be given the same treatment, especially those who have walked with me prior to sobriety for such a long time, hoping for better. They deserve that so much as well.
Empathy is my thought of the times

Going strong on day 7 sober.
With everything going on I’m still super stressed out, but the desire to drink is nonexistent.

Today is day 14. After today I think that’s my longest spell of abstinence in 34 years.
I’ve not had alcohol in situations I never thought I’d stay dry. I’ve even been for a meal in a pub & stayed alcohol free.
I’m still waking up & telling myself “I will not drink today” everyday.
