#Day 1412 :seedling:
Sunday! :tada: A one day weekend for me.
Counting down the days before my 3 weeks holiday in Turkey. Going to travel around a bit.
2 weeks of hard work to goā€¦


Sharing my new candle light with changeable text, I like it!! :star_struck:
Have a good day sober peeps :upside_down_face:

update forgot you (most of you) canā€™t read Dutch! :rofl:
Translation:
ā€œJust now
when everything wrinkles
hangs and streches out
am I surprisingly
feeling very
well in my skinā€

My own translation so not all perfect but now you understand the text at least a little bit :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

@anon53116147 dude congrats on 60 days sober!!! There is nobody here that Iā€™m pulling for harder than you my friend.

@Cjp congrats on 90 days!!

@Its_me_Stella I love reading your posts when I see themā€¦ so insightful and thoughtful, they always seem to put my head in the right recovery space.

@Piglet86 I hope you made it through your evening good. I know that we always tell people to only worry about today, and that is very solid advice. I would like to add after reading @Its_me_Stella post (she promised herself 1 year no matter what and I promised myself 1,000 days no matter what) that setting a hard line like that got me through some really really rough timesā€¦ times that lasted over a month. Just thought maybe it would help you. I wish you well.

Checking in here. 9 months of freedom for me!
This is my note of appreciation to this group and for this app.

I check in here every day, sometimes quite a few times a day. It has been very very helpful.

9 months is the longest I have been clean since 1992. Yes, that was for the birth of my younges child who is now 30 years old.

I feel like Iā€™m bringing myself into the world now with all my presence in all the parts of my life. Im fortunate to be here and be healthy. Im fortunate to be in a good marriage and have good relationships with most of my family. Im fortunate to have a rewarding job that challenges and fulfills me with much less stress than the previous position.

Im so grateful for all of the information that is available about addiction. I really was drinking like it couldnā€™t be a problem and that the solutions were not for me. I was wrong and Iā€™m so glad to have access to this community and all that is shared.

It has been work to get to 9 months, but it has been very rewarding to do it too. I highly recommend leaving alcohol behind and digging into your life to find yourself and bring your best self to your life.

Have a great day everyone. I appreciate all of you and this community more than you know.

Agreed on making the meditations stronger, they definitely make it more immersive for meā€¦especially if I am listening to meditative music with binaural beats (which I do a lot). I cannot remember who first told me here about them, but I so appreciate it!! I LOVE mine.
