New workday, but only a half one, because this afternoon there’s some family business to attend too. Happy business I hope and think. I’m a little bit nervous about it, because I haven’t seen most folks since my dad died 8 years ago and I probably won’t be seeing them until the next funeral service. The fact the meeting’s in a bar holds no special feelings for me no more. My sobriety might be talked about or not. Both is fine.
Have as good a Tuesday as you can all. Make it clean and sober. It’s the only way to have a good life for all of us or we wouldn’t be here. Love from my little square.
@ArnovdL Good to see you Arno. We can’t do this alone. And we need to work our sobriety. We got to keep working on taking away the reasons why we drank in the first place. ODAAT. @Girlinterrupted It makes me very glad to meet you here again JoeBeth. Obviously you actually could do it alone until now. Whatever your soul needs friend. Although in the long run total isolation can’t be healthy. You’re here. You’re sober. I’m happy you are @anon74766472 Success today!!!
Good morning on day 3.
6:30 am, cold and dark brrr
A stressful day is ahead, last Thursday we got a new Server for our Department and the latest news we got was “it doesn’t work”
Okay, I’ll try to stay positive.
See you guys later
#Day 1476
When I was drumming with my band last sunday to sheer up a running race 2 amblulances came by fast. We heared 3 runners had needed a reanimation. Later I heared that I know one of them. He is still in the hospital: but alive!
He had a heartattack when he crossed the finishline. I saw him running at the beginning and it looked like he was very tired then already.
Running is a dangerous business, I better keep drumming
Drinking is a dangerous business as well. I just have read an news artikel about cancer and the change you get it if you drink.
Another good reason to never do that again
Today? Having the day off and deserve some rest. So going to the hairdresser and getting some groceries and after that: we’ll see!
10.5 months
Been a while.
Nice to read all these amazing posts by your amazing peeps.
Life is good. Real good.
I work on the recovery world and it’s an honor.
I stand apart and alone often, which ways on me.
Other than that… Life is a blessing.
Amen
Checking in Day 232
Im grateful right now for the strength God gives me. Its 158am where I am. At 12am my sons overnight nurse woke me up bcuz my sons temp was very high. Prior to this I noticed my sons temp increasing before bed so I was mentally preparing for a cab ride to the hospital with him. I prayed to God like I always do. I usually pray for his temp to be reduced, that whatever is causing his illness to be removed, to not have to go to the hospital etc etc. Last night tho, I prayed a little differently bcuz sometimes what I pray for, is not what is best. And I realized that for my son. I pray to not have to go to the hospital but sometimes the hospital is the best place for him. He gets the treatment and meds he needs to heal. So I decided instead to pray for strength, for focus, and for the ability to handle whatever comes my way knowing God is with me. I prayed for the willingness to listen to God bcuz He knows whats best for my son and if thats us going to the hospital to figure out whats wrong and to get the medication he needs, than I will for sure listen and go to the hospital with him. When it was time to go, I called for a wheelchair cab. I packed everything up and we left. He got bloodwork done and a covid test done. Now we are waiting on a chest xray. I guess thats where the gratitude comes in bcuz Im clean and sober, Im focused and im connected to my HP. If I listen to that inner gut feeling, i know what the next right action is to take. Sometimes i dont like it, sometimes im just plain exhausted, but God gives me strength like nothing else in this world to get thru it. Im glad im here and im glad my son is being seen
I am in trouble because I can’t eat
due to falling in love
Eating regular is one of the fundamentals.
Will try to slurp some very basic meals like porridge or soup.
Hugs to all ya guys and girls…
Stay sober for sure
Hello welcome back. We started out around the same time, I think. Just made me smile to see your avatar on here again and happy you are also doing so well.
English…
I read your comment, now it’s deleted.
Controverse comments are welcome!
You are right,…
Although he is not drinking, smoking or consuming anything and is much into sports and health. So we can exclude this and it’s soothing.
Anyway I am very aware about this sensitive field of emotions… And relationships.
I know its a risk.
But it’s also a possibility to practice not forgetting focus on myself.
Our pace is very slow but constant.
Thanks for your words!
Jep! And today I pierced the second one
That was always the plan but the piercer recommended to do the second one after 3 months. But I’m not good in waiting so after 3 weeks I found I’ve waited enough!
Thank you so much! Its just after 7am now. We are out of the oncology unit, he had his chest xray done, just waiting to see now if he will be able to go thru with his dental cleaning. Altho i highly doubt he will. I am beyond exhausted. I havent slept. I need coffee so bad lol
. Sounds like something is going on. I am sure you will work it out. Congrats on all your sober time.
