Hi everyone. Iā€™m hoping this ā€œhell weekā€ is over tomorrow. I should have my car back tomorrow and be able to go home. After the car accident Iā€™ve been forced to stay at my parents house since itā€™s much closer to where I work. This is a really triggering environment though. Theyā€™re supposed to be getting sober and they came home drunk tonight. I moved out of here last year because this place is so terrible for my mental health and being forced to stay here with none of my stuff and no car has been miserable.

I went and saw a movie with friends tonight though, it was a nice break and a chance to not be at this house as much.

Hoping my life is just back to normal tomorrow and I can start trying to recover from this week.

Day 290 AF

Whatā€™s good everyone?

Nothing much going on. Wife decided to throw away her Trulys. Theyā€™ve been in the fridge for months. Sheā€™s not much of a drinker. Thank gawd.

Got back into doing Insanity. Ima TRY to wake up early tomorrow morning for a walk. Iā€™m not much of morning person to be honest.

Anyways, everything is good.

Yall have a goodnite.

@BrianP congrats on 100 days! That pic tho! Fancy.
@Wakikki congrats on 7 months! Thatā€™s whatā€™s up.
@KellyKelly congrats on 4 months!
@Rockstar24777 congrats on employee of the month. U da man! Hey bro, question for ya. Where in SD do you stay? Just curious. Not tryna stalk u or anything :laughing:.
@Cjp itā€™s gonna happen. Iā€™m almost 300 days sober and still have shitty nights. Not sure how long it lasts, but Iā€™m riding with it. Just gotta keep pushing and moving forward. Iā€™m honestly afraid to go back to boozing. I gotta do this for my kids. Donā€™t care about nothing else, honestly. As long as my kids and my fam are happy and healthy.

Ima jump off, fam. Sorry I didnā€™t get to everyone. Iā€™ll catch up later.

Checking in day 9. Just woke up with a craving for whisky. Why not 1? It seems it is harder to quit now than my first time.
Just about to go to a wellness day, that will do the trick to ease my mind

Coffee. My weekend is here. Warm weather is here as as well. Glad I did my bike commute the last two days so I donā€™t feel the need to go out and race my bike today or tomorrow. Iā€™ll take it easy. Do some house chores. See a friend. Or two. Be clean and sober. One day at a time.

Have as good a day as you all can friends. Make it sober and clean or nothing will come from it. Love from Luna and me.

8-3-22 Eighteen (18) Months (Day 546)

High temps have necessitated more inside time in the AC. Being closed up for extended periods of time during a heat wave has always caused me some anxiety. This is my 2nd summer AF & even though anxiety has shown its face for me briefly this past week I have been better able to minimize & manage it.

I am hopeful that with even more time & practice getting through heat episodes using my ā€œtoolsā€ that the frequency & severity of them will continue to decline. Another added benefit of using some of the same tools learned when I became first smoke free and then AF? I think so. And so it goes ā€¦ one day at a time! Enjoy your AF day!

Day 95, countdown to triple figures.
My youngest is away for the day at the Young Carers Festival. Both kids are Young Carers now due to my mental health issues, symptoms of which have thankfully been minimal lately.
The teenager is still asleep :zzz:
Iā€™m about to have my breakfast smoothie and I will go to the final day of a friendā€™s painting exhibition. I wasnā€™t able to attend the private view as I was out of town, but Iā€™m keen to see his work in situ.
Glad to be doing all this sober!

Hey glad youā€™re getting your car back. Hopefully you can get back to your own place, itā€™s always easier being in our own comfortable environment. Easier to deal with the trigger. What movie yous go out and see?

Well todays day 16 went and did this cool zip line stuff and obstacles yesterday after my workout was a good day !! No urges to drink or anything work switched me to second shift again ā€¦ so thatā€™s going to really affect the home life between the S/Oā€¦ really hope she doesnā€™t cross any boundaries and bring someone over while Iā€™m working the eavningsā€¦ deff makes it easier for her to go out. Just when we had a good day yesterday thinking things might change ā€¦ ahh oh well deal with them stressers when they get here. Hereā€™s to another day being better for me and the Baby on the way
