#Day 1426 :seedling:
One day before holiday to Turkey.
Busy with house chorus and getting to much stuff in a to small bag :sweat_smile:
Because of a lack of personal at the airport Schiphol a lot of luggage is getting lost. So we decided to go without it and only use handluggage.
mickey-mouse-packing
Within 1 houre my neighbor is here to talk about how to take care of our cat and plants. I think she will be flabbergasted to see how many plants I have :see_no_evil:
Still in my ā€œthinking modusā€ because of the bad craving I had last saturday. But overall feeling ok.

I was having a pretty rough weekend. My husband and I got into a nasty fight and I was all set to hate my one day off (Sunday) this week.
Apologies were given and I think that was one of our moments where we really just needed to get things off our chests to re-connect.

Today we rode bikes to our state fair, 5 miles each way, and ate delicious fried foods and walked 13,000 happy steps. We saw livestock and arts and crafts and enjoyed each others company. After our ride home we cooked a healthy meal and watched Thirteen Lives which was tense and awesome.

Tomorrow I am 6 months alcohol free. I think the upcoming milestone messed with my head a bit but this weekend was a great reminder that when things are tough you just keep going. Today was a wonderful day and many times I was able to remind myself how easily I could spoil it by adding alcohol.

I still have a lot of work to do, mostly on letting loved ones see the real me without my screen of alcohol that was always up but Iā€™m getting better each day. Happy sober day friends. Keep going. :heart:

Coffee. One day off. Still very warm and hoping a storm shows up and brings us some :cloud_with_rain: later. In the meanwhile Iā€™m not going to do too much. Iā€™ll try to think up something nice to cook. Read some in my new recovery-from-trauma book. Pet Luna. Iā€™m on for a day free from whatever. Sober and clean.

Have as good a day as you all can friends. Make it sober and clean. Itā€™s the first condition to a healthier happier better life for all of us. One day at a time. Love from Amstel train station last night.

Day 6 Ā½
@Axsis Serious numbers, bro. Keep it up!
@SoberWalker Have fun in Turkey, send us a postcard!
@TrustyBird Iā€™m glad your day worked out well in the end. Congratulations on 6 months!
@Mno Iā€™m seriously going to start posting pictures of Topeka. :rofl:

Something weird happened last night when I was meditating. I was almost asleep then ā€œBang!ā€ my right ear felt like someone jammed a red hot nail into my eardrum. Even after coming to full consciousness it hurt for a second or two. Has this happened to anyone else?
Went back to sleep and rested well. Too well. I woke up at 4:30 wide awake. Donā€™t have to be at my appointment until 9:30 so I just tossed and turned and gave up. Figured Iā€™d start with breakfast, so I mixed up some pancake. One great big 7" pancake, because in 'Murica nothingā€™s done until itā€™s overdone. :laughing:
Nothing left to do now except the dishes I shouldā€™ve done last night and wait. Iā€™ll get back if anything interesting happens. Peace, fam! :v:

DAY 730 :four_leaf_clover::four_leaf_clover:

Yes, today is the 2nd anniversary of my sobriety. Its an incredible journey ā€¦ :raised_hands:

I am blessed and grateful to be here at 730 daysā€¦ :pray:

I joined this community in December 2019, relapsed many times until August 2020. Iā€™ve never stopped trying. Every day I read and listened to the journeys of different people. I did #dailycheckin here.
Most importantly, I accepted my own reality, accepted that it was a disease and that alcohol was not good for me and I couldnā€™t drink like normal people. I used all the Sober toolbox that felt good to me to heal.
This is now my way of life :blue_heart:

Never give up trying. Do what works for you, believe itā€™s worth itā€¦:raised_hands:

Proud instead of feel embarrassment, :four_leaf_clover:

calm breathing instead of heart :revolving_hearts:palpitations,

beautiful moments that I remember every moment of instead of unforgettable moments.:dizzy:

Love you TS fam , thanks for all your support :pray::kiss:

I need a lot of food and resting today :yum:
Had a shake with banana, blueberries, oats, riceprotein and linseed oil for breakfast.
For lunch a huuuge salad with tomatoes, cucumber, avocado, mango, chick peas, roasted chicken beast, olive oil, lemon juice and chili.
For dessert a Alpro Skyr Joghurt natural with Stevia and chopped dark chocolate (straciatella style, very delicious! :joy:).
And believe it or notā€¦ It is 2 pm and I am like "Okayā€¦ WHATā€™S NEXT?" :rofl::rofl::rofl:

I will stay sober and maybe go to swimming in the outdoor pool in the later evening.

Sending love :revolving_hearts:
Take care :v:t2:
