Everyone has good and bad and middle of the road days…addicts or not. Sometimes I just have to remind myself of that. Hope tomorrow is better for you.

Evening Check in
Day 124
Overall day wasn’t bad. Rough start as I was super tired but once I got going I literally got so much done. I guess I tend to forget that rest and doing nothing is sometimes doing something lol. I don’t do nothing often but I have to realize that I’m not a robot and I do need the rest somedays. I’m still waiting for hubby to come home. They had a nice BBQ there and he will get ride back. I’m happy for him that he was able to spend some time socializing with others. Both me and hubby don’t really have friends here so I’m glad he could do that today. I’m also enjoying my time at home. The quiet is incredible!!! I need alone time to recharge and this has been so nice too. I got my workout plan done for next week and lots of cleaning done. I stayed clean and sober. What more could I ask for?! I’m a happy lady today

Went to the sober bar tonight. I thought it was a burlesque show turns out it was a pride caberet lol not what i was expecting but it was nice to see people living authentically.
They had a few vendor tables and i loved this painting but didnt have cash. I spent some time adoring it and let the artist know i appreciated their work. I passed the artist outside as she was leaving as she handed the painting to me. She said she wanted me to have it! Warmed my heart.
What a great way to end the day

Just got back from my unc’s bday party. I caught up with a few cousins. I was busy most of the day babysitting my kiddo at the playground. My unc asked me if I wanted to drink a beer, but I told him that I wasn’t drinking, and alcohol gives me the shits 
. Another sober weekend! Handling it pretty well. I got this!
Have a good night everyone! Stay strong!

Hoping your new routine will help you. You’re always so helpful to everyone, is there anything I, or any of the rest of us, can do to help you? Change is scary. Have confidence in your self and your decisions. Make special time to stay grounded in routine and simple pleasures, petting the cat, what a food tastes like, what the sky looks like. Take care.

#Day 1369 
Goodmorning!
I have to kick my but today. I do not take care of my recovery enough these days. My focus is for work and the rest is slipping a bit out of my hands. Yesterday I poored a drink in the kitchen for my husband and I thought “what if I sneak a sip right now?”. What if I drink the whole glass right now? He wouldn’t notice!
Really!?
Long time no see winewitch
It made me think “where does this come from?”
It is a wake up call again. Like I get many in recovery. It’s what I do with it wich make me fail ore succeed.
So…making a little list of self care today. A part of it is venting 
Here and at home.
Another one is walking, so I’m gonna finish my coffee and get that done too!
I wanna wish you all a good sunday!

Woke up happy to be sober. Going out for a long walk today to try to shift my mood up a gear as been feeling a bit low recently.
Wishing you all a good day superstars!

Hello everyone. I am still sober, but idealizing drinking a lot. Happy to be on Antabus to get through this. Just waiting patiently in a queue to get to therapy. Because of covid and because of a lack of professionals (strikes/quitting) the queue times are a bit long but hopefully sometime in the autumn is my turn to start.

Good to see you here. Yeah, getting a therapy place is so annoying and needs a lot of patience. It somehow often felt like begging for me. It sucks.

Coffee. Feeling a little bit better each day. Yesterday I sneaked outside for a little walk in the AM, distancing and keeping to quiet streets. Really needed some fresh air and happy I got it. Today the heat is gone with some storms last night and later today. I’ll stay home again.
Patience grasshopper. I’m sober and clean. Just for Today. Just like I expect from all of you. We’re in this together and clean and sober is the way for us all or we wouldn’t be here. Have as good a Sunday as you all can. Love from Amsterdam. Love it the hollyhocks are back.
@ArnovdL @SoberWalker @Jennajen Thanks for reminding why I am here every day still. Recovery is daily work. There’s no way around it. We all choose our own way to work it but work it we must or addiction will catch up with us. Hang in there friends. ODAAT and all that.
