Going on 5 days off now…Yay!!! Was pretty triggerd just before leaving shop today everyone was smoking and sitting at the shop table having beers…But i managed to say no twice and got out of there sober…Now home relaxing with wife in my safe place as i call it. Thank you everyone for the Support.
Hey hey Devin, addict got 46 days today and pushing through today was a little rough this morning i found out a long time buddy passed yesterday he was in a crazy accident… but I dealt with my emotions in a healthy manner and i made it to a meeting it has actually been a good day i must say… im clean and happy cant ask for much more… ODAAT
How did you know? That’s kind of creepy LOL. That’s exactly what I did.
It helped.
I am here, AF and feeling peaceful yet still a little sad. I’m glad I did not drink.
Thank you Eric.
Got behind on this thread. Busy work day. Been going on walks with my 9 year old. I had a convo with my wife a couple of nights ago about my sobriety and all those crazy drunken nights. Opened up to her about my loneliness feeling. I think it went okay. Still feel a little out of it tho. Not sure wtf is missing. Oh well. Just gotta keep pushing and staying sober I guess.
Thank you so much. You’re right it really is! Sometimes I think oh I’m only on day 20 again but it really is a lot and the days start to go by faster and faster and they add up so much more quickly… I feel like I finally learned to really not think as much about tomorrow I know we said it so many times one day at a time but when it really sinks in what a difference it makes. that’s how the days start to go faster. Congratulations on 200!!!
I understand that overwhelming mess and I hope that your 15 minutes made you feel better.
Something is better than nothing-you have to start somewhere, and I hear that from you so much but it is so true. I can relate to many of your posts and I’m glad you’re here.
I hear what you’re saying and for me at times it feels like that too. I’m still me and my life is still my life. But. Recovery is work. Hard work. And we are the change. We got to make it happen. Recovery is a verb. We can’t change the past but we can change our present and future. And a big part of it is in what we do to actually achieve that. Maybe that’s all there is. It’s not about the goal, it’s about the journey. Take care friend.

Coffee. Weekend! For me that is. Today it’s my experiential expertise course. Don’t feel like school but I do feel like seeing my classmates. Funny how fast people can grow on you. So it is with some healthy aversion I’ll start doing my homework now. Sober and clean.
Have a good day all, or at least as good as possible. Make it clean and sober to begin with or nothing will come for it. It’s why we are here. Love from Amsterdam.
Seems like you are having a hard time, I’m sorry for you Kris. You are seen here! It’s not the same I know. Keep pushing trough and you will find your place. Maybe go to AA ore so to find new sober friends?
Hope you will feel better today
#Day 1464
Seen my kids yesterday. The 2 oldest are living at their own places but still coming home ones a week to share a meal and enjoy eachothers compagny. It’s good to have them around.
But yesterday something slipped my tongue about something that my daughter considered as a secret between her and me. I forgot
So now she’s irritated and I’m a bit sad.
I couldn’t talk about it with her because everybody was still around so I sended her an message but still no answer.
I hope it’s because she’s still in bed sleeping.
Sometimes I wish I was less direct. I speak before I think. What you see is what you get kind of lady…But it get’s me in difficult spots sometimes. Can you imagine how that was when I was drinking: 100% worse!!
Today? Off from work to go see the ear specialist for my check up. Get my second hand Maria statue from the parcel pick up and give her a forever home in my house
Picture from my last walk in nature. My hip is still sore so taking it easy but maybe a small walk today, who knows!
See you around TS people from all over the world
Thinking about you and your daughter I hope that she will respond to you when she wakes up and be forgiving. Your pics the last two days have been beautiful. Happy you’ll get the Maria. Not sure if you’re using it for an ofrenda of sorts or not. I think you said you were going to light a candle by it. Very heartfelt and loving. Hoping your hip will straighten up soon so you can get back on your long walks.
@Dolse71 2 years! Thank you for being a wonderful example of determination and perseverence. I know it hasn’t been easy but you have kept on keeping on!
