Just finished a bowl of cool watermelon cubes. On a hot day like today there’s nothing like that, for a perfect summer treat. Grateful :innocent:

I’m feeling a little “in transit” internally right now. Like the way you’re in transit when you’re waiting in an airport terminal or a bus terminal. You’re not where you were and you’re not where you plan to be, but you can’t move to the next step until the plane arrives to pick you up. I feel a bit like I’m letting outside forces distract me too much, too - like my journey is too much pulled off track by miscellaneous things not related to my core goal. (For example, selling my car. Goodness man doing a private sale of a second hand car is a pain. I won’t go into details but it is a huge pain. Maybe it’s just that I’m letting it occupy too much space in my mind but either way it is just taking up emotional space for me :persevere:)

Maybe I’m just juggling a lot of things right now and this is just the way it is. It will pass. Once that car is sold, it will be off my plate.

Sober today. Sober and emotionally present. Looking forward to some tacos tonight :yum:

Take care folks!

Good luck in Switzerland tomorrow!

And by looking at your counter, it also says 35 days. 1 month + 5 days. I noticed the monthly counter is always equal to 30, no matter what month it is. That’s why I got rid of that and the year, too confusing.

@CB103036 How are you feeling? Did alcohol solve a single thing? I know it didn’t. Be kind to yourself while the hangover is in force. Then get back up in that horse. :+1:

@icebear Yay! Congratulations! :clap::tada:

@maxwell You are brave to deal with them yourself! In Japan there are suzumebachi, literally sparrow-wasps, because they are massive, not quite bird sized, but coming from the UK I was amazed and terrified how big they were.

@RosaCanDo Glad to hear you are feeling better! What are your plans for the rest of the weekend?

@Sunny Bloody fantastic! :heart_eyes_cat:

@Matt Love cold :watermelon:!

No, this one was small. If it was even a quarter bird size, I would have had to take Dana’s advice and burn my house down. :rofl:

Quick check in. Not feeling up to par the last few days. My bronchitis is finally coming to an end but now I have a kidney infection it appears. Drowning myself in cranberry juice while waiting for my VA doctor to respond to me. A week today until my stupid brain scan lol.

I’ve been bingeing on Netflix. Started to watch a documentary called something like how to change your mind. That lasted less than five minutes when the guy started talking about using psychedelics to cure alcoholism. Clicked out of that fast. I did so much LSD back in the days I’m surprised the walls aren’t still breathing :joy: Decided to watch Alone instead.

Still here, still clean and sober despite my health setbacks. Hope you all have a blessed day. :heart:

Resting up today, hoping to feel better tomorrow and get my house straightened up a bit! I might have a couple phone dates with friends tomorrow and possibly help someone with a quick garden project. Will see how I feel.

I also really need a shower :sweat_smile: Have been sponge bathing since I got the tattoo and it’s beyond time for a proper wash. Tattoo is healing up nicely and just itchy at this point.

Thanks for asking.

Day 2 here for me. Struggling right now wanting to go buy fireball shooters but I know how they will make me feel, and even worse, I know the disappointment I will have in myself.

Only a few months away from a year. Still goin on my longest sobriety streak. Didn’t think I had it in me. Thank you all.

I gotta work on forgetting about the past. Live in the moment. Fuck it, what happened, happened.
