This sounds so peaceful and rewarding! You’ll have to post a photo of your garden! It’s cold and miserable here in WA, I’d like to live vicariously through your warm garden growth pls

Hey Seb. I’m glad you popped back on, if it helps not to count, then do what feels right. We all slip, I’m glad you’ve come back though.

You do what you have to do Seb. But don’t try to do it all alone please. I’m pretty sure that doesn’t work. Take care friend.

Wake up, pray for the strength not to pick up a drink today, write gratitude list, contact other alcoholics, try and practice living the day without it being all about me, Don’t run everyone else’s life, go to bed, night time inventory.
The numbers on the screen are how long I’ve been doing these quick and simple things.
Don’t live in Hope live in the moment.
Well done everyone

Checking in. Still clean. I was impulsive yesterday and got a piercing! I got a dermal on my cheek and I love it. I am so happy I got it done and I went to a meeting and saw some familiar faces and then I am going to a meeting tonight w my sponsor. I love meeting with her and getting to talk to her. I don’t work tomorrow or Thursday so I am excited to have my days off. I love what’s happening in my life besides the unmanageability of how I think. I am just gonna keep doing what I’m doing. Hopefully get some step work in tonight…

Only 10 pounds, come and stand beside me if you want to look thin. I’m sober but I’m a heart attack waiting to happen if the diabetes don’t get me first.

Day 678
Back at work today. Knee felt pretty great when I woke up and did really good with my pt exercises this morning, but then it ended up really swollen after. Lots of icing today but sitting at my desk there is not enough room to elevate and I cannot get comfortable. Pulled my bike back inside yesterday and swapped the trainer tire back on. Excited to be allowed to do low impact cycling starting Friday.

Way to go Trevor!!
You haven’t been with us that long. But Holy Shit!! You are doing some amazing things ODAAT. You just keep doing. The. Next. Right. Thing. I’m so proud of you and you are a wonderful inspiration for all of us.
As far as family goes. I never could change my family. I can’t change anyone. And as you’re learning. It’s not even our job or in our realm of possibility to change our family or other people we know or love. Or in my case my spouse. Just keep your boundaries and keep doing the next right thing.
You’re awesome!!
And all this is possible because your sober.
God Bless.

I really appreciate the words and reaching out. Sometimes I don’t know what the hell I’m doing. More than anything I’m just trying to not forget what that drink is going to do it to me if I go back. Also to remember what the drink has done. I thought this was going to take me out. I didn’t think I was going to survive this. All I have to do is a few simple things every day. Stay positive. And when I’m craving a drink there’s nothing wrong with that it’ll go away in 10 minutes with action

Matt I’m doing the same with the phone. It’s amazing how much mindless time can be wasted instead of getting healthy sleep. Tha KS for reminding me, I planned on doing this week’s ago!

Checking in day 8.
Knocked a few big things off my to do list today: business plan and cash flow doc finished & submitted for funding; car wrap prepared & pics submitted; a couple other things I forget but they were there. Feeling good about it
Still nervous about the weekend performance.
@Its_me_Stella happy to hear about that discovery that reality is different from your mind. It’s a wonderful feeling isn’t it
@Butterflymoonwoman keep it up with the healthy fitness but! Remember to be gentle with yourself here. I say that as much for you as for me I suppose. You and I are about the same age and I’m feeling my weight too. I was listening to Type Taboo | CBC Podcasts | CBC Listen the other day and found it helpful about the diabetes feeling - you might find it helpful
