Checking in day 20. Had a really productive kick ass dad day! Taught my 4 year old how to ride a bike without ever using training wheels. Just got back from a 5 mile run, and feeling awesome! Just laid the kid down to bed. Going to try to not be up on my phone late tonight and get a solid 8. I’m feeling very motivated and proud of my progress! Hope you all have a fantastic day. Peace be da journey!

Progress… not perfection 
That’s where step 2 starts Arno. The willingness to believe in something bigger than us that can help us with that. Call it god, life, consciousness or whatever.
It doesn’t matter what your higher power is or becomes, as long as it helps you letting go the urge to control all the outcomes of life.
Because like you say, we are áll uncertain of how to proceed, untill we accept we can’t control the outcomes of every thing we do.
As Lennon said it best : life is what happens, while we"re busy making other plans.
Just allow that uncertainty to be there and act on faith. Let go and let God is one of my favorite quotes for that matter

Good morning!
Today it means a challenge for me. I am alone at home and there is no excuse to stay to much at work because today is business half day off.
I do not want to remember what I would do in the past when I was not not sober. I only know I do not want to drink and it is enough.
I am happy in sobriety.
Best luck and twenty four hours!

Checking in. Digging myself out of my depression pit. Was able to pray this morning and it helped a bit. Grateful to wake up sober and relying on my higher power to keep me that way. This too shall pass.

Sorry it’s taken awhile to get back. It’s been hectic to say the least. Seems there are more appointments for this than anything before. And everyone is more depressing than the last. But hast to slow down at some point yeah? And today is 9 months. Am very thankful for that. Hope you are doing well.

Didn’t have a chance to read this all before, but now that I have, I am so happy I did. What a great story! It must have felt soooo good to make it though all the preparations sober AND staying sober while everyone around you is drinking! Congratulations!! I totally agree that it’s wayyyy more enjoyable to stay sober. I used to feel like I was"missing out". Not at all anymore. And your right, it’s also great to actually remember the evening😃

Oh no? Plantar fasciitis is sooo painful. Have you tried freezing a purchased plastic water bottle that is still full and then rolling it under your foot? Are you doing a lot of calf stretches? (Straight and Bent leg too to get the gastrocnemius and the soleus). Those things really helped me. I had it years ago. I also ended up getting orthotics which I think has helped it from returning. Hope you feel better soon🤞
