You are absolutely right. I am at my worst addiction wise when I am flying around trying to do everything just right now, pushing myself to the limit.
Now I have a base again I can slow things down and focus on my recovery work.

Coffee. My weekend. The dealing-with-aggression training yesterday was a bit confronting after the incident at work last week. But useful. Now for my real weekend. Big mountain stage in the Tour de France today, will be watching that with a friend instead of riding myself, might do that tomorrow. Cook some good food too. That should do it for today.
And be sober and clean of course, just like I expect from you all. Thatās why weāre here. One day at a time. Have as good a day as you all can friends. Love from Amsterdam.

Day 702
Feeling a bit overwhelmed with work. Lots of students with Corona, so lots of emails informing absences, and as it is the end of the semester, lots of assignments, feedbacks, etc, being sent individually, and I am concerned I will miss things.
I have also twice felt like I said the wrong thing, left a bad impression, etc, with a colleague. My people pleasing feels a bit out of control. Especially when there are opposing factions in a workplace, you cannot please everyone.
Famous last words, but getting on fairly well with the husband. Still bickering as we always do, but fairly good-naturedly, and he has been quite complimentary lately.

Day 20.
Every day feels like a different emotional rollercoaster. One day Iām up, the next Iām pissed, day after that is a coin toss.
Still fighting with myself not to contact my ex. I know I shouldnāt. I know he wonāt and isnāt struggling the same way. Probably more addicted to the relationship than booze at this point, itās on my mind more.
Wish there was an app to deal with this. And donāt say tinder, the joke is too easy.
Hope everyone is doin good and flyin sober

How are you doing? It is hard to be around other people when we feel like crap. I hope your hard time passes quickly.

Good morning. Iāve started an old diet plan I used to do years ago to shed a few pounds that have been sticking around like nosy neighbor. It gives me something to focus on besides not drinking, which in and of itself is a great diet plan!
Iām tired this morning and havenāt slept well, or enough, the past few nights. I have a lot on my plate and an event with friends this eve, but Iāll get to bed earlier.
Hope you all have a day full of sober light!

I was thinking of backpacking in Lake Tahoe, but I decided to aim higher: Camino de Santiago, Spain. Itās a pilgrimage trail; Santiago is believed to hold the remains of St. James.
Although Iām not religious, the scenery is breathtaking and you get to meet people from all over the world.

This is what encourages me to stay clean. I never want to be chained down by an addiction ever again. We have the key and power to set ourselves free. Stay strong.

Day 150
This little beauty popped up this morning. It actually occured last night at 1030 or something but I was in bed sleeping (haha sleepā¦ a gift of recovery 
). I am beyond shocked! I have been on here for over 2 years and have been trying to get recovery since the age of 16 when I went into treatment for the 1st time (of many tries at treatment over the decades). And here I am at 5 months completely clean and sober. Thank you TS for all ur support! Literallyā¦ I couldnāt have done it without you all
