Day 780
Work and general life going ok. The cooler weather is giving me more energy and I have been keeping on top of work and house stuff. Binge eating is not so good. I can feel putting weight on but donāt seem to be able to stop. Feel stupid and weak. Maybe I do need to do the steps again with a OE anonymous slant. Seems so crazy that I can give up booze but not this. Maybe because I keep trying to moderate. But the alternative is what?

Hello everyone, 
well I woke up this morning, which is always a good start. 2 strike days so no work but picket duty to do.
@SoberWalker hope all goes well in management Claudia. Please keep coming here, I couldnt have made it so far without your comments. 
@Mno we have winds and rain forcast as well Menno. Nothing like Florida though.
hope everyone here and their families are ok.
@Hayleylujah 112 
well done Hayley. Yes the cost of living is hitting the majority of people now. Gas and electric gone up. They gave us a Ā£400 energy payment in one hand and took an extra Ā£1200 off us in the other while giving tax cuts to those earning Ā£150,000 infuriatingā¦but sober.

Power is halfway back 
No need to claim!!
Swim workout was beautiful, challenging and relaxing at the same time 
Wonāt get back to the half politic world topics I wrote about yesterday. Think itās not the right place, deleted my post. 
New coat, lambswool soles and new pair of dr Martens are on the way to start autumn. Hope the martens are not to hard.
My 60 days gift was a failā¦
Didnāt like the Nikes!
Have my 70 days now and special gift and treat is going to a cinema and enjoying an Indian restaurant with my mum on weekend! 
Beside that there will be some rearranging in my house, swimming, taking walks on the river and the woods, Yoga, Meditation, napping and sleeping. Donāt forget healthy delicious food. 
Checking fundamental basics:
Eating
Moving
Resting and Napping
We have a bank holiday on Monday, so weekend is longer 
Sending lots of love, peace and ease to all you peops here and to the rest of the world! 
Take care and stay sober

Day 840. Feeling better this morning mentally. I swear (for me) that just going to bed when Iām going through a sad/depressive episode works 99.9% of the time. I have learned to just accept it and roll with it by going to bed, itās too strong for me to fight it. I used to struggle to find out āwhatās wrong with meā and āwhy is this happeningā etc. but that just made things worse. Of course things make me sad for sure but Iām referring to the chemical side of depression as in the waves that come that are beyond my control. Eh, long post hope that made sense. Iām really proud of everyone here, have an amazing day I love you guys!!!

In the bath at the minute but need to go food shopping and collect some e-liquid for my wife which is next door to my old local pub, i have 2 days off work, the weather is lousey and i thought i could be tempted to drink here. Asking myself some questions
Do i really want to drink alcohol today?
NO.
Am I really missing any of my drinking partners?
NO.
How will I feel once I return from shopping in an hour still sober?
MAGNIFICENT
No further questions your honor.

Hey kids, checking in on Friday morning. Took off work today, I twisted the hell out of my lower back on Wednesday. Now itās just getting progressively worse. Last time I did this about a year ago I remember it taking a good couple weeks to feel normal again. āGetting older sucks big timeā. Gonna ride up to the Doctor this morning and see whatās up. I got somebody delivering a motorcycle to me on Saturday but thatās probably gonna be out for a little bit 
Just gonna lay around for a day or two and see how it feels. Have a great day guys, behave yourselves this weekend.

So glad to hear your feeling better 
I think the sleeping it off solution definitely does wonders, or brings us back to being able to rationalise our thoughts without them overwhemming us. I think i remember you calling it resetting the mind and for me this is exactly what i have to do.
This part of it is hard, i can relate to this feeling in my own way ans definitely glad you have woken up feeling better and worked out a way to get through it
