#Day 1401 :seedling:
Tomorrow I have a wedding to go to wich involves a lot of drinking. Not my drinking but I know I still find situations like that a challenge.
It’s the 2th mariage of my sister in law so I can’t skip it. I’ll manage. I know if I see drunk people I’m always so glad I’m not there where they are anymore. So it’s a mirrow too such a party.
But there’s always that little voice in my head whining: why can’t I just have one :pensive:
Stupid addiction.
But I win, not my addiction!


Picture of yesterday evening walk: rainclouds coming in. But unfortunally the just went by.
Hope for some rain for today, it’s very dry up here.
Take care everyone :raising_hand_woman:

Coffee. Instead of group therapy on Thursday, today I’m back in class for a course in integrating my own experiences with addiction and mental health problems into my professional work. Exited about that, as well as a little bit anxious and apprehensive. That’s part of the deal right. I think it will be great.

Claudia @SoberWalker and me are getting some rain this morning. Yay! We need it. Today a rainy day will be a good day. Hoping for a good one for all of you. Make it sober and clean to begin with or nothing will come of it. Love from my balcony. Love my mints.

@Alycia That’s terrible. So sorry for your loss. They’re family. Wishing you strength. Hugs.

Good morning, everyone, I hope that you are all well today. Over here, things are going alright.
The whole “move” procedure for getting back to Switzerland is going ahead quite well, I now have a Swiss cell phone number AND I have found a nice apartment. Normally I like to get a 2-bedroom apartment so that I can have an office for work, but in this case, I have found a new and somewhat smaller apartment, but that also has (at an extra cost, obviously) an office on the ground floor! That’s kind of nice, because otherwise I tend to spend 97% of my time by myself in my apartment.
So I will sign the lease for the apartment and office space as of 01/10, so only another two months or so. In that time, I hope to get my house in Italy sold. I will be going back there tomorrow to finish cleaning the place up, next week a photographer will come by and take photos for the advertisement on the real estate website. Considering the fact that Amazon has just opened its brand-new central sorting and management centre for all of northern Italy in the actual town where my house is located (about five minutes away by car), I’m hoping that it will sell without too much trouble.
Other than that, things are going all right. I’m now at 40 days and 12 hours, and I’m sure that @maxwell is right about there as well. Needless to say, I’m pretty happy about that.
Well, that’s about it for now everyone… I should get back to work.
I hope that you are all having a good day, good and sober.

Thanks Brian, and everyone else for your kind words and support.
Pedro was 8, we honestly thought he’d live til he was 20. He was so full of life. He was ran over in the early morning, it was dark and raining, he ran out in front of a car so fast.
It’s such a shock, and honestly just hitting my husband and I so hard. We walk together mornings and evenings. He follows me around like a little shadow. I don’t have many friends, Pedro was such a great comfort, company and such a big part of our lives.
I feel so lost without him already.

**Day 2 of making a change **
Not sure how to post on this form other than replying to the last message. But today marks day 2 of making a change. Had a good day with my S/O heard my baby’s heart beat for the first time. It was magical and gave me a lot of internal motivation to stay on the right path. my S/O held my hand and hugged me and even called me baby once, I don’t feel like I’ve totally lost her and that gives me hope that I can amend what I haven’t broken.
