Day 146
Got merried yesterday
My wife is sleeping on my chest right now
Went to.a wicked nice hotel.over the weekend
Hot tub
Heated pool
King size bed and a coffee maker in the room
Work tomorrow and I can’t wait to do them dishes and make that money
Have a good day
Welp the universe apparently thought I needed the mental health day today. 5 minutes after I clocked in to work my internet went out and is staying out. Might go jump in the river.
You shall be forgiven!! 
Thank you, by the way!
Checking in on day 31
Today is more or less a copy of yesterday! But that’s ok! My therapist says that we can do so many things during the day, if we really try. Thinking about it now, today my routine was;
• nice breakfast out on the terrace
• a bit of reading
• workout challenge round midday
• lunch
• pool time
• finished reading my book at the pool
• went to recycle some stuff at the “green point” in town (took a bag of old clothes, books that I’ve read these weeks - there is a shelve for interchanging books)
• cleaned my car from the inside and outside
Now it’s dinner and TV time!
Not that I’ve done anything really exciting, but decluttering and cleaning feels good! 
Another day sober on the books! 
Checking in day 126.
Going to a dhow tonight, not gonna drink.
Have a great day everyone.
Congrats on your marriage!!! 
May it be a happy and love filled life for you two
The universe is usually right. Hope you can find a way to have a nice relaxing re-boot. 
Oh shit! I hope you’re feeling better now Jess wtf I’m sorry that happened to you!!! 
Day 8.
Feeling like $h*t
Lately I’ve been in so many arguments with so many people its like, I want things to get better and stuff keeps happening.
Idk man I’m in my night shift and I feel like sleeping but I can’t, 2 more nights and I’m done with this job but these nights feel like forever.
Maybe working 2 jobs wasn’t a good ideea after all. Stress can lead me back to my old habits.
Anyway I’ll get through this.
Hope you guys are good.
Hey man. I know what your saying, I was on night work for at least 10 years and some nights really felt like forever. Stress can lead you back to old ways but so can being over tired. Try and get as much sleep as you can during the day. Hopefully these next two nights go quick for ya.
I personally found that I needed to fill the void of not drinking with building new habits to replace the old ones. In the meantime keep your focus ahead and keep pushing through the daily muck. You can do it! Things change with time and patience. Congrats on Day 8!
@Noshame Congratulations, hope you have a wonderful life together.
@Petri Sending strength and patience. Remember keep your eyes in your side of the road, and don’t worry about what you can’t control. Easier said than done, I know
Wow thank you for sharing. You made me tear up with hopeful happy tears. To be sober that long does seem impossible at this point. I think I made it 90 days in the last ten years and 65 when I first joined this app. Today is day 6 again. I’ll just focus on today. Thank you for inspiring me. It is possible. Congratulations:blush:
Reached out to multiple therapists offices. Hoping to get something scheduled this week. Progress
Oh I hope your ok. I had a minor head injury once and I felt really off for a bit. Did you need to get it checked out? How are you feeling now?
Oh I hate those nightmares. I hope you have a better peaceful sleep tonight:crossed_fingers:
Congrats on your 3 months clean!!! Fuck yeah! I’m so proud of you!
I think that I would feel like crying over the bike too, love that you are rising above it. Stories like that always bring me back to when I was a thieving pos kid, I am still living amends for those days.
@Twizzlers
Congratulations on your 11 months.
You are an awesome asset to this community.
I’m glad you’re here.
Day 6
Feeling tired. Headache and a little nausea. It’s 3 pm. Have to teach another class at 5. Was kind of fantasizing about a drink after class. It’s hot. My daughter will be at work…NOPE
I sat down on the couch to veg out for bit. I stopped all other expectations of feeling like I need to walk the dog or do my laundry. I checked in here. I’m feeling better(not really physically better, but I’m not wanting a drink anymore) in fact, thinking about it now makes me feel sick. I do really wish I could cancel my class. I was reading posts about “mental health days”. Unfortunately, I can’t just cancel my classes as people pre pay…but I can take it easy and not expect myself to do the whole workout. It’s so so draining sometimes putting in so much energy to teach, encourage, and participate in classes when I feel completely wiped. Oh well, it’s only one more… Just one hour. Then I think I’ll cuddle up on the couch with some oatmilk ice cream and stevia chocolate chips:purple_heart:
I’ll check in later after my class.
(Not to think too far ahead but it will be one week tomorrow so I know I can do this)… Saying that I guess gives me a bit of anxiety because I feel like it’s a lot of pressure so maybe I shouldn’t even say that but it’s written now and I know I’ll be okay.
Firstly HUGE CONGRATULATIONS on your continued sobriety.
What an inspirational story you have. Thank you for coming back to post it. If I was wearing a hat I’d be tipping it at you now
