I had a big chance to drink today. I went bowling with the family and a friend visiting from Europe. Afterwards, they left in the car and I went to go get my bicycle since that’s how I got there. I went for a quick trip to the restroom and accidentally wandered into a bar area which I did not know was there. I was alone and unsupervised. Just me and my fellow alcoholics who were day drinking with sour expressions. I could have easily sat down. Just like old times. The plan was to meet for dinner at one of my favorite restaurants tonight. I could have pregamed at that bar and been nipping cheeky pints at dinner. Just like old times. Sneaking drinks and feeling like the worst piece of shit on the planet.

Instead, I turned my ass around. I went for a looooong bike ride. I showed up for my kid’s race. I had a nice dinner and then a raspberry sorbet while I watched the moon rise over the lake.

And it was infinitely better than what I saw when I played the tape forward. I was happy and felt at peace. I was there in the moment with my partner and kids. And now my sober head is on my pillow and I have another hangover-free summer morning coffee to look forward to tomorrow. It’s hard to see it early on, but sobriety is frickin’ magical, guys. I can’t believe it took me so long to find it.

Anyway, day 425 checking in.

And a very heartfelt congratulations on two years to @Misokatsu and @CATMANCAM who I once got to be sober twins with. I am so proud of you both!

You shouldn’t, but I think we all get this feeling sometimes in all areas of our life :purple_heart:
I must say I came here lost, i found you all here when i was lost, and you helped me.
Today I still have moments I feel loss and you all still help me.
It’s the same for you, were here for the dark days as well as the good ones.
I know you suffer with pain so much, my mum does too and she has had some really dark times in her life where I dont think anyone can imagine what it’s really like to be in constant pain unless themselves have it too.
Just remember you are a big part of this community, we care about you and I feel your care for us too :hugs::hugs:
Those dark days are when you must lean on us the most. Theres enough of us here that each day there is lots of us standing shoulder to shoulder to carry the ones of us who need picking up. Sometimes that’s me, sometimes that you we all take it in turns. Let us help carry you thought the difficulties in what ever way we can, at least to make it a bit easier for you.
Thinking of you x

Good morning (or evening)!

#Day 1422 :seedling:
2 days of work before holiday.
Had a customer in my shop who comes regular. But it seems like she stopped eating. Every time when I see here she is thinner. Yesterday she came in shorts and she looks like she is dying, that thin. We started small talk and when suited I dropped that I saw she has losted weight. She said yes: last time that I looked in the mirrow I saw that as well (?)
Further in the conversation she mentioned she has a therapist. I was relieved to hear that. Her looks made me so worried. She lives alone with a daughter of 12 years old.
My guess is her weight is 40 kilo/ 88 pond.
It surprises me she can still walk.
I do not know why I write it here. Just wanna vent I guess. I felt worried and wanted to help but didn’t know how to.


I know I can’t help everyone, but I wish I could :pray:

Picture from me and my hubby walking in the evening sun.
Have a good day TS people :raising_hand_woman:

Coffee. The renovators renovating downstairs seem to make it a habit to make big rumour renovating for 30 minutes around 8 am. And then stop making noise. After I just got out of bed on my day off. Well. Maybe it is a good time to get out of bed anyway. Let’s do some useful stuff today. As well as have some fun. Sober and clean or nothing would come of it.

Have as good a day as you all can friends. For starters make it clean and sober. It’s why we’re here. Love. Here’s another sunset from my workplace. Just because.

@CATMANCAM @Misokatsu Huuuuge congrats on 2 years you both!!! Life goes on but you’re giving yourselves the best change of a better one. ODAAT and all that. Hugs and love.
