I think I know the documentary you mean, but I think here they got help by some kind of in house treatment.I know I probably should try something, we have a AA not far from me, I have to consider this a bit, just so afraid to be ātold outā, an everyone will know all around the City, its so small here like everyone knows everyone. But at least I have to do something.
Thank you so much for your replies

I will try to find it out! 
Morning Check In
Day 188
So I took .5mg extra of my medication last night (doctor is aware and is on board with this). I do feel actually a bit better mentally. It was harder to wake up as my meds make me groggy. But I will manage that and hopefully my body adjusts to the increase sooner than later.
Work is going well. Had a couple times where my client was signing something to me and I didnāt understand (he has a board with diff signs that he regularly uses but they werenāt up there). He doesnāt like it when u donāt understand him so I had to figure it out quickly and thankfully it was correct 
Working until 4pm and then home to my family, as well as doing laundry, bathing my son, and getting everything ready for school tmrw. Not a bad day anyway.
Hope everyone has an addiction free day!

Checking in on day 22
Iāve been off and went to the pool this afternoon. Iām nervous about my appointment with my therapist tomorrowā¦ how stupid, that we ruin our current good mood by focusing on BS that might not even happen somewhere in the future! 
Anywayā¦ workout challenge is done, and Iām another day sober!

Made it through work and responsibilities for today. Pretty good morning and day so far . Have some small chores and house stuff to get done but other then that mostly just chilling . Learning to be ok with some down time and not every second is go go go!! I will enjoy the air conditioning and stay inside till it cools down this evening then I will play basketball most likely
Grateful to be pushing through another day ā¦ and these sobriety days just keep adding up . Itās crazy how much Iām really learning about myself and what kind of person I am . Iām keeping my mental health and sobriety before everything. Learning tools to make it through anxious days and not run or have a mini break down . I Always run through HALT even on some what good days
I feel so much in my heart and soul currently I canāt fully put these feelings into words . Maybe itās this spiritual change Iām experiencing and so many feelings and memories coming back to me . Relearning and in some situations learning for the first time how to live in this world . Iām making it through this scary change . This new way of life that is a complete 180 from the way I was living before. Not sure if any of this makes sense but thatās ok 
Iām just Losing my mind a little bit but in a good way if that makes sense
Thanks for listening to my random/ all over the place check in
Hope everyone has a good day , stay strong and God bless

I thought what you wrote was beautifully put. There was so much in it that I can relate to, especially feeling all over the place emotionally and really getting to know myself again. I couldnāt have put it better myself.
It sounds like there are a lot of positives there. Keep going! You are doing great.

Day 8 - I had another great day today, spending even more time with my boy before taking him home tonight. That hurt when I dropped him off with his mum and I had a little wobble when I got home but I picked up my reading and it really really helped.
I am sad that I am not with him right now but really grateful for the fantastic week we had together. Iām so proud of him and his sister. They are such good kids and I hope that I can be a positive influence for them going forward.
Part of this is that I need to do some work on myself, who am I? What do I want? And how am I going to walk that tightrope between doing too much and burning out and doing nothing and falling into the addictive traps. Itās a lot to ponder but Iām pleased with the progress I am making.
I hope you all have a wonderful sober day.

Thank you. I Always over think everything I write and post . Trying to just not over think everything and post whatever Iām feeling. Glad you can relate. One day at a time we keep pushing forward.

Day 169
Time flies. I cant imagine what would have happened if i hadnt stopped when i did. I never have to do it again. Idk.
Went and got groceries. Have to be up early tomorrow for work. No idea where i will be assigned and need to make sure i have all my tools together.
Going to make the viral tiktok pasta to welcome my sister to town. Im not a feta person normally so im excited to try something new.
Not sure where the big 40x30 canvas is going but i think i want very thick layers of paint, an āadditiveā piece. Maybe i need to get more into drawing, tbh. Hung a nice watercolor painting in the kitchen and selected 2 for the hall. Grateful for art, it channels my anger and lets me express love from a distance.

Makes perfect sense. Thanks for sharingā¦. Even though Iām 10 days in I have the same feelings at times.

I donāt fight anymore. Itās surrender and contentment. I believe to fight is to regress to s state of my teen years. Iām an alcoholic an adult and I have 35+ years of continuous sober life from alcohol and I feel victim to my own thinking, nearly lost my wife and daughter. I spent away our bank account and she would have been right to get rid of me. Iām nearly 71 and I cooperate. (most of the time lol).

Remember it does matter to live in the moment and yes years build wisdom so celebrate your sober life and say you have been sober from alcohol 35+ years. Be honest and kind. Thatās mew. Work your own program.
