Coffee. I declared myself 100% cured from covid yesterday after doing a day of training for work and biking 65 km to get there and back. And felt absolutely fine. I’m a bit more tired than I wished for this morning though. The weather is still awesome, it’s my weekend, and I had planned to go out on my road bike for the first time in quite a while but I am not so sure now.
Well, some people have real problems. I’m sober and clean. I’m working my recovery one day at a time. I guess today I just take it a little bit more easy than I planned. Will tell you all later what I did do. Have as good a day as you all can friends. Make it clean and sober or nothing will come of it. Love from my commute yesterday.
@Chosen2001 60 days is huge Chris! Big congrats. Good days and bad ones, drinking or using never helps with anything. It just makes everything worse. Keep going, you’re doing great.
@soberpete1 One day at a time Pete. Huge congrats on making it through the first one! If you can do one, you can do two too. Etcetera. Great work!
@Bradleyduggan86 Double digits Bradley! Yay you and big congrats!

Day 687
Another relentlessly hot day. Brain just frazzled, silly mistakes like forgetting to put things in the kids’ swimming kit, cooking half the required amount of pasta for dinner, forgetting Japanese words that I damn well know. It has never been this hot in June before, and I am just so worried everyday about my kids getting heatstroke and dying and terrified for their future as it will only get worse. I suppose I have to deal with what I can control, but I feel so helpless and panicked.

Made it through a family reunion without drinking and had a good time - not great, but much better without the hangover, anxiety and guilt that drinking would have caused. The vigilance on sobriety can get tiresome. I wish it was as easy as quitting smoking. I had my last cigarette 30 years ago and never give it a thought. The smell of cigarette smoke is repulsive to me. But drinking? Ugh. I conveniently “forget” the thousands of reasons why it’s my enemy when I’m feeling stressed or want to have a night out with friends. But! I know that sobriety is a choice that I am blessed to have. It’s in my power to choose happiness, good health and a positive attitude.

Good morning all! Today I am feeling a bit better. Trying to accept life on life’s terms. I have the day off today so I’m going to try and get some stuff done around the house. Not my favorite thing to do but it’s gotta be done. I hope everyone has a good day and God bless.

In my field of work it is normal to only get contracts for up to 3 years. A lot of people at the university and scientific institutes have this issue. Thanks all for your support!

I’m sorry that you’re going through so much pain @maxwell!!! I wanted to say that you really remind me of me a lot. When I would go through pain though mine was mostly emotional I would come here and vent like you’re doing and dump out all of the stuff that was inside me at the time and it helped so much to get support from everyone. Knowing that others heard me was one of the biggest things that kept me sober and gave me some relief. I know it’s a completely different type of pain but the fact that you’re here letting it out is the best thing you can do in my opinion. Thank you so much for sharing what you’re going through with us please keep it up!!! Proud of you for reaching out and for staying sober!!!

Day 747 clean and sober today. The last couple days/nights have been really tough for me, I’ve been thinking about Corey a lot. The last 2 days/nights I’ve been hearing the little voice in my head telling me there’s no reason to be here anymore and why am I still here in this life let alone sober. I went to bed very early last night because when I get in that spot, going to bed is the safest way for me to make it through. Today’s a new day and my day off so though I’m not feeling 100% I’m going to try and get some things done and be productive. I know from experience that these feelings will pass I just need to ride them out. Self care and self compassion have been monumental concepts that have gotten me through these days before. Have a great day everyone, love you guys!!!

…1559. “Recovering” from a lot of walking yesterday. First time to Mackinac Island. It’s a neat place. No cars allowed, lots of history…the only down side to the Island…the “emissions” from the vehicles…gotta watch where you step

Wow Rob… that takes ALOT of strength to pull urself out of that it’s so good to see that u know what u need in times like this and that u can challenge ur thinking. This isn’t easy and even tho I have not experienced what you have gone thru in this sense, I just can sense the inner turmoil that u must be feeling. I feel it in ur words. My thoughts are with u today hugs
