Day 372 check in. MIL is here, and that means we can dump the kids on her while we go run errands (so romantic). Today will hopefully be a good day, and being sober will make it that way.
@Butterflymoonwoman those treats are beautiful and look delicious!
Congratulations @Pickles on 500 days! Amazing!
Congratulations @Seb on the marvelous news!

Checking in on a glorious morning. Itās going to be a good day. Lots of work to do in the garden, some home projects, prepping some food for a BBQ tonight and then a fire. We ended up inviting a friend to join us which will be okay. I like time with just my husband and me but this young fella is nice and not rowdy or a big drinker. Plus heās pretty lonely and is a good conversationalist.
I am appreciating a level of comfort (Edit to say comfort being around alcohol) these days that I wasnāt sure would ever come - living with a normie who brews his own beer and loves to talk about it used to drive me mad. Not so much anymore. I am not exactly sure when this shift happened but it was like I suddenly realized it recently. I mean, he can get a little obsessive and deep dive into the specifics, but heās like that about everything as an engineer minded person would. It no longer feels like a personal affront. And why should it? Itās not about me. I donāt drink. But I can feign interest in the process just as well as I do about his hydraulic systems at work 
In all honesty, I am grateful he is so passionate about things he is interested in and that he has a hobby that brings him joy. Itās a relief that I donāt have to fight my urges or feel pressured to be involved as much like I used to. It helps that I donāt have to repeat myself anymore: āI need you to not ask me if I want to taste it, please.ā āOh, yeah, Iām sorry. I keep forgetting.ā 
Hope you all are doing well and hanging in with your goals today. Letās do another day sober!

Those cupcakes are amazing!!! Thatās a great side hustle!
Itās hard having patience and working on perspective adjustments. My husbandās famous line to me is, āYou catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.ā I try to remember that. Itās definitely easier to do sober when one has more self control.

Day 14. Made it through yesterday with no urges to drink. Friday was usually my binge day. I almost typed āisā there.
I teach a class in a little bit and then doing the cleaning that I didnāt get to yesterday. I was too tired from teaching so much this week and took a rest day. Feeling much better today. Have a great day!

Weāre practically twins, I just entered into day 9. Like you, I used vodka to get rid of pain, or more often, to simply stop caring. Right now I have some inexplicable pain in my left shoulder. Canāt say Iām not tempted to go for something stronger than aspirin. But Iāve damaged my life enough in the last month. 
So, Iāll just deal with the pain.

Day 245 AF
Went to the SD County Fair with the wifey last night. It was pretty fun, we got on a few rides, and ate some fair foodies. There was booze all over the place. Peeps were walking around boozin. I wasnāt even tempted, honestly. Gonna go to my uncleās bday party at the park later on this afternoon. Iām sure there is gonna be a lot of beer there to. Iāll probably be busy with the lil man at the play structure, that will keep me distracted and away from the poison.
Have a great day everyone!

Thatās what Iām trying to do today, vodka is an evil bitch, so cheap, yet so destructive! Congratulations on Day 9!! 
. What do you do to get your mind off the pain? Someone suggested to make a list of things, so I have that. Just watched Impractical Jokers, laughter seems to help.

Laughter does help. I spend more time on YouTube than I do actual television. Favorite channels: Pitch Meeting, Honest Trailers, How It Should Have Ended, and Cracked. When Iām not watching comedy, I like the hiking and camping videos.

Hey everyone! Working through day 7 right now. Had some strong urges, but used the tools I have been building during this experience and have remained sober. Feeling good about myself, but need to remember to never let me guard down. Working through it. Hope everyone is having an amazing weekend!
