#Day 1391 
Husband has Covid but is feeling a bit better again after a few days with high fever.
I have a sore troat myself but still test negative. Hope it stay that way, weāll see.
Sleeping in the guestroom for days now.
I hope the bike viewing goes well tomorrow and works for you. 
Oh wow Charlie!!! U got some serious skill and talent there!! Iām impressed! Great job 
190 days dry. The urges are now stronger than at the beginning of the sobriety. Feel like now Iāve done 6 months that its mission completed and I deserve it, in some messed up way. The fear of missing out is strongā¦ just wish I could be normal.
Never done AA (nothing against it, I actually agree with it all, just gone at it alone) but maybe itās timeā¦
Congrats @David1 for 6 months! Thats not easy. Ive found hope and joy in the fellowship of AA. the only requirement for membership is the desire to stop drinking. FOMO is no joke but its just the addict mind trying to trick you. I hope in the next coming days you find recovery and not just sobriety. We are all here for you! Keep checking in
Thank you! Thatās very supportive and just the words I needed to hear 
Good afternoon, sober peeps! Had an interesting couple of days. Friday I got on the bus and ran into this dude Kevin. He was the roommate of my friend Michal, who passed away last Sept. He and I didnāt always get along because of his Jekyll and Hyde personality, but he was quite cordial. Probably because heās been clean off meth since May. We had a good convo till I had to get off the bus.
Went camping last night. This guy called from the tree line wanted to come in and say hello. Turned out it was an old friend I knew from rehab. Still, it made me realize my spot isnāt as concealed as I thought it was. Slept great though. Left the rain fly off so I could watch fireflies through the mesh. Had a good 3.5 mile hike to get home. Exhausting, but I reminded myself Iām getting in shape for future adventures!!
Hope everybodyās having a great sober weekend!
12 days is amazing! Glad you are here. Keep reading and posting. It really helps!!!

Grandpa Day 1.
Emotions are high. Iām exhausted.
Iām not drinking today.
And Iām probably not drinking tomorrow.
Wait what?? The baby came?? Congrats grandpa!!! Pics or it didnāt happen 
Pretty sick with bronchitis right now so suffering from brain fog if Iām not remembering right. Donāt you have another one coming in December or so?
Next one is in January. 
I hope you feel better.
9 days 13 hours, since I smoke the last of my marijuana, Iād been using it to when my self of other addictions for a year and let it get carried away, thinking I was doing okay just being a pot head, itās now been 2 years since I used cocaine or alchool, and almost 10 days without da Mary Jane.
I feel great and strong, focusing on my reading and journaling calendar exercise and eating schedule and plan. Finally starting to have long periods of time without thinking āI need an escape,ā or āI canāt handle this shit today.ā I have my 2 parents I live with my child when I have custody, and now that she has messenger when she chats with me from her motherās and my 1 one best friend.
Iām glad I found this app, because no one I know understands what those escapes feel like. And Iād felt so isolated and alone trying to deal with it all myself, and focus on myself control and recovery as a team of one!
I can, you can, we can!

Have you given popart or abstract expressionism a go, that my focus, and no one sees the finished works but meā:smiley: and I donāt care, it feels good and I like them, I see something in it for myself. 
Day 716
I owe yāall an update! Iāve been snooping around and reading all your posts the last few weeks. Oh man! I got an offer for my house. Tomorrow is the inspection, and if everything goes as planned, I will be driving 2000 miles to my new home in just a few weeks! Crazy right? Iām also 31 weeks pregnant now, so it is super crazy lol, oh man. Where there is a will, there is a way. Iām going to cry tears of joy when I leave, I am so close to my freedom! Itās been a long time coming. Iāve definitely missed you all but felt like I had to step out of my comfort zone and get as uncomfortable as possible to motivate myself to finally make these changesā¦ I did it! So far so good. Wish me luck. Much love to you my sober friendsā¦
@Joy congrats on 3 years! 
@Charlie_C OMG youāre so talented! Iāve been watching so many remodeling shows lately and yours takes the cake! 
My mom likes me to keep her updated on my sobriety journey. I sent her a screenshot of 70.70 days and her reply back was"im so happy to have my daughter back" i have mixed emotions about this reaction. Shame/pride/love/gratitude. While in active addiction i kept my distance because i knew she worried about me. One reason why i wanted to kick this is because i know my time with my folks is limited. Weāve spent alot more time together since ive gotten sober and grown closer. And for that im greatful. I just feel bad for being distant so long but only time will heal
Awe this is beautiful. We canāt change the past but we certainly can do what we can to have a future for ourselves and with our families. This was so wonderful to read!
When life gives you lemons 
There is so much in the effort of putting this together that is meaningful, in so many ways - including the lemonade.
Checking in sober on day 394. Iām traveling for work so I am a bit behind.
Congratulations on 30 days @Daishippai and @maxwell!
@Joy itās great to hear from you and way to go on three years! Youāre always such a positive energy here 
Congratulations @KellyKelly on 100 days!
Congratulations to the other milestones I missed. Keep up the great work everyone!
@Charlie_C amazing work on the remodel! Iām so impressed; I can barely change a light bulb! 
So happy to hear the move is going along as planned @Clarity. To do this all while pregnant in the heat must be exhausting. Youāre one strong cookie. Canāt wait to hear when youāre all settled in your new home. Take care of yourself and baby. Much love to you lady.
Congratulations on the offer (and the pregnancy)! Exciting changes coming your way!
