Day 761

Yesterday my husband was at work, the kids did nothing but squabble and postpone homework. I was a bit stressed to be honest. Today was my husbandā€™s only day off but I made plans to have lunch and coffee with friends this afternoon, so he had to make lunch while I finished up helping kids with English and left over homework, and then watch the kids after while I was out. I had a lovely tempura bowl, frappuccino and chat and feel much refreshed. I am grateful for his cooperation and support today.

I thought you already get rid of all the stuff on your car?:wink:

Itā€™s a good thing that you can celebrate birthdays again and get in connection with other people.:+1:
For me it was nearly the same.

Youā€™ve done all you can. Now itā€™s also the time for you to see how it goes.

I know the feeling and hope, that It will quick a thing of the past.

@Planipennia you can only reply three times in a row, so Iā€™ll help you out :grin: now your counter has reset

AA is definitely a good starter for stocking a lot of tools and also to go into connection with other sober people.

Give it a try and see if the concept of the higher power of your own works for you.

Good morning all just wanted to say hi its me Mickey from Las Vegas :grin: almost 2 years never ever thought i would be here. I have a great relationship with God, wife and xwife lol, kids relationships restored, job is just that but im sober when i go in so that takes away the anger and bad vibes i caused. A little more money in my pocket , bills are paid on time, not afraid to learn new things, my confidence in my life is just skyrocketing im even learning Spanish. I can be around people oh drink but i still do get some gravings at times. I was a drunk and drug addict for 40 years. Thank you all for your support. God Bless you all

Day 93 :heart:
Got my 3 months yesterday. Iā€™m so proud of myself. I definitely see benefits. The biggest one is that Iā€™m happy to be in my own company. I think of all the wasted years when I couldnā€™t sit with myself because I hated myself so much. Such a shame but it is what it is. I canā€™t change the past, only today. I made a thing to remind myself who I am. I couldā€™ve put a lot more but these were the three things that stuck out for me today. What would yours say?


Keep on keeping on x

I was thinking by myself: wow, what a pace. Well, you are over 20 years younger than me. I still think you got yourself a lot on your plate. Which is possible to get along with well for some time. Until itā€™s too much. Slowing down, admitting yourself some time in nature with your dog, not having to do anything.

Day 821 clean and sober today. Went for a hike after work yesterday and I freaking love being outside!!! I spent so much of my life getting drunk and loaded inside that itā€™s all so new to me being in nature even for a little bit. I am loving my new car so much and the fact that I can just get in and go without the fears of it breaking down. I didnā€™t realize how restrained I was until the freedom that came with the new one. I feel so calm and balanced when Iā€™m outdoors itā€™s crazy. I hope everyone has a beautiful day today, love you guys!!! :sunglasses::metal:t2:
