Congratulations on 190 missed hangovers, mornings without hoping that tomorrow will be better, that tomorrow I will only drink one, 190 days remembering what you did last night. 190 day missing out of potentially making a fool of yourself, driving drunk. I am happy that you missed all these things during the last 6 months.

Checking in, last day before my husband leaves for Korea in the wee hours tomorrow. All in all gone a couple weeks (last trip away was Jan 2020!). I’m looking forward to rewriting my script, making the most of my time alone for lots of things, including rest and reconnecting with myself. His long business trips used to mean I could drink without hiding. Now I’m excited to live without hiding behind the bottle when I am alone. Because that really is what I was doing - hiding from myself and my feelings without the distraction of a husband to “take care of,” if that makes sense. Living with codependency, particularly as it relates to being alone and not feeling like I had a strong sense of myself as an individual. I get to dive in and practice what I’ve been working on and looking at it this way is helping me manage anxiety. Look for me on the tattoo thread tomorrow after I get some new ink! I’ll be continuing to be on here less, but I know my amigos here (and elsewhere) have my back if I need support. I appreciate you

Day 37. I picked up some extra classes this week. COVID is back, I guess, and people are calling out. I’m hoping I don’t catch it again as I’ve had it twice now.
I realized yesterday morning I have not been expressing gratitude at all lately. I am trying to get back into the first thing I do before I get out of bed is say 3 things I’m grateful for.
I am not feeling as cranky the past 2 days. My husband is being pretty understanding about it for now. I’m not going to drink today. Have a great day!

Checking in 2035 days. I’ll spend the day getting ready for our vacation tomorrow. Need to do some laundry and get the twins and myself packed up. We need to be at the airport at 7:30 a.m. tomorrow morning so that will be a challenge! The twins like to sleep late, especially my son. We’ll fly to Spokane then drive to Idaho. Can’t wait to get some R&R and I can sleep late without my cats whining for food every morning!

I mostly walk in nature. But I live in a flat country so no difficult trails here. So I guess I walk instead of hiking here

Day 17. TW: weed
17 days alcohol free. In the middle of May I lost a job working nights, since leaving I’ve been trying and failing to reset my sleep schedule. I’ve seen every sunrise for weeks.
My roommate has one friend who doesn’t really drink, it makes her really sick almost instantly due to gut health issues she experiences. She does however, smoke a lot of weed. In the past I was the assistant manager for a dispensary, so it’s never been an issue to consume or be around.
Last night I did choose to smoke for the first time in about 3 months. The feeling of not being 100% sober was weirdly foreign, like my brain was taking just a little too long to connect dots. After the initial high turned to munchies I made a small tuna snack with chips and settled in for a movie, and fell asleep 10 mins in.
Best sleep I’ve had in weeks, not gonna lie. I’m awake at 8am and not because I haven’t gone to bed yet, but because I slept 7hrs straight. This feels really cool, coffee actually even feels appropriate. Not hungover now or feeling gross, either.
Not that I missed smoking, but I did forget it can be largely beneficial in reasonable doses. I don’t think it’ll be something I take up daily but it might help in this ongoing battle with sleep.
Hopefully everyone is having a great start or finish to their day! Hugs from Northern CA

Good Morning,
Checking in
tackling another day.
I am in the office. @Mindymoo our building has AC and they ran it from early morning till 3pm. However the suites get hot after 3 LOL. so from 3-5 its warm in here. I have to take off my blazer.
Lucky you to get to work from home. I wouldn’t mind a hybrid schedule.
I have task to get done. My mind goes in and out of my grandma’s news. I tear up and then I get back to telling myself I must be strong.
This will be interesting to see play out for myself. I have always numb my feelings. Now that I am older I tell myself that its ok to experience the lows of life and enjoy the highs as well.
Still Sober and looking forward to many more days sober.
Thank you so much to this community and to all those who connect with me on a daily and or very frequently.

See you there

Morning Check in
Day 147
Am truly having a wonderful morning so far. Had an amazing workout early this morning, than at 9am I decided to join in on my online Bible Group that’s held back home. I haven’t honestly attended in about 1 month or so. It was on courage and how fear can paralyze us and prevent us from reaching our full potential. It was wonderful! From there I had a phone call appt. Now to do some cleaning. My mom’s birthday is coming up July 22 and it felt sooo good to buy her alittle something and send out a card. I can’t even count the number of times I didn’t have the money (due to using) to spoil her (or any of my other family members for that matter) on their special day. I feel so good being clean and sober! It just feels good to be involved and to be a part of my family and not be so distant. Gratitude is in full force today 
Hope everyone has an addiction free day!
