Good morning Kat here checking in. Day 2! Making it a priority to check in here daily as it was when I was doing well. Plan on doing some step work today (I have to start over). 5 questions. Phone my sponsor. Clean the dishes and the floors.
I wish all of you a great clean and sober Friday!
Kat
Day 2. Trying to overcome the great discouragement I have and negative thinking
In the meetings around my area, we also end with the Serenity Prayer. But, we all stand, join hands and someone starts by saying āTo a God of your own understandingā and then we all then chime in together with the Prayer.
Give it some time and Iām sure you will find a sponsorā¦ it took me a while also, but thats ok because itās important to find someone who is the right fit/personality for you. Youāll know when you find her 
(hmmm is that a hugs emoji? Youāve probably had enough hugs for one day 
)
*edit to add sorry @Cjp I misunderstood which Prayer you were talking about, I was thinking of a different one.
Congratulations @Mno
Your intelligence, honesty, questioning, compassion and support for others is inspiring.
It has been an absolute pleasure, and learning experience, being able to share some of your journey.
Much respect.
Congratulations Rebecca you are AMAZING!!! 
Day 728 clean and sober today. Iām wide awake and was wondering why but Iāve been getting up at this time for work the last couple of days and itās already automatic. They have me coming in at 2pm though to cover another shift instead of this morning sooooo yeahā¦ I hope everyone has an amazing day today, love you guys!!!
Welcome back @kat261!!!
Thank you @Mno!! Congrats to you too 
!!
Hey all, checking in on day 726. I hope everybody has a good one!
Awww @AyBee you so made my day 
I love your wordsā¦donāt ever stopā¦reallyā¦
I seriously couldnāt have done sobriety without this community
@Rockstar24777 thank you! I love all this love!! Big hugs
@anon74766472 thank you!!! Tis gets easier as time goes by and with TS love 
@Misokatsu hands down year 2 is sweeter than year 1! As life gets better, itās no coincidence that sobriety happened at the same time. I have identified so many personal issues and have been working on them Fleur. One canāt do that in active addiction so itās been truly life changing Thank you!!!
@Dazercat donuts!!! Now I have to go and get me some 
I promise when I come see you next time, weāll go for coffee and donuts k???
Checking in 3Y, 11 D
Insane how fast the week went, how can it be the weekend again already??
This week has actually been a pretty good weekā¦ my kids all seem to be in a happy place -this is unusual as there is often drama happening somewhere with one of them (letās hope i havenāt jinxed it!).
I caught up with a friend today which was really lovely and Iāve also been working on abit of a vision boardā¦ kinda like pictures and words on things I want to explore/achieve between now and the next 12ish months. Next to it Iām writing lists that break these into short, medium and long term goals.
I feel like Iāve made big progress with my sobriety, mental and physical health, healing relationships with my kids, friends and family but the things that I want to do for me, my future, have kind of just been hovering and not going anywhere. Itās feeling like itās time to get productive with that side of myself and move into the next phaseā¦ I love lists, visual reminders and planning lol so Iām really enjoying this activity. Looking forward to seeing what comes out from it all.
Wishing you all a safe and sober Friday x
I think she said they end with the Lordās Prayer, which being all āwho art in heavenā is much more difficult than the serenity prayer to deal with if your hp is more secular. I tend to avoid meetings that use the Lordās prayer.
Made it through the comedy festival sober. Who says you need alcohol to have a good time!
Going to bed 70 days sober.
To all those waking up a day behind us here in Oz, have a great day 
What a great post to start my day with. That 2 years went by so fast (at least for me it did, probably not so much for you).
You are such a bright shining light here. Always bringing positive and fun energy.
Congratulations on 2 years @Ravikamor!
Checking in on day 398. Going to take my daughter back to the highschool girls softball team practice today to get a one on one meet and play with the number 1 highschool softball player in the country today before they head to state championship game tomorrow. She is fangirl-ing hard right now. Glad she has a positive powerful young woman to look up to locally aside from her awesome mom of course lol. Iāll hit the gym this afternoon before we watch the original top gun movie as a family tonight before we go see the new one tomorrow. Have a great day everyone. Itās a great day to be above ground and sober.
Congratulations Rebecca!!
How does it feel?!
Ohhh oops I misunderstood it, time for bed i think! Lords Prayerā¦ wow thatās an interesting one to end on, Iād be avoiding alsoā¦
Hi hun, Iām glad you went to the womenās group. As far as the hugging goes, think of it as a way of breaking our isolating, standoffish ways we created with our disease. Hugging opens the barriers and show welcome, I understand you, Iām here for you. At the same time you have the right as well as the responsibility to let them know that you arenāt comfortable with that contact yet. I have faith you will find the words.
Now about the higher power thing. I was a pure agnostic when I entered the rooms. I was also raised in the church. Southern Baptist 
The one that preached hellfire and damnation every Sunday. I had no clue who my higher power was much less of its existence. My spiritual awakening began when I did my third step. As we worked through it I felt a warmth surround me like I was cupped in loving hands. I will NEVER forget that feeling.
Still unsure of who HP was I explored different avenues. A God of MY understanding. Today I call my HP Grandfather. Father Sky, Mother Earth. Grandfather is the universal energy that created everything. We are all one, everything on this earth. So Iām just saying find your understanding. The word God in the Lordās Prayer doesnāt have to be static. Translate it in your heart to your own HP. Donāt let a word be the thing that you focus on as differences to separate yourself. Adjust the meaning instead. I hope this makes sense to you.
Congratulations to you on 398 and wish your daughter luck for the state championship. Thatās great. Let me know how it goes. Sounds like a nice weekend ahead. I can relate, my daughter is loving her summer basketball camp, won the camp tourney yesterday. Nice to be present and share those moments with the kids.
Great movie BTW- enjoy. Keep it up TS crew 
To clarify its the highschool team going to state. My girl is 9 years old but loves the HS girls team; she also has her age level travel team championship this weekend though. Thanks much.
