Thanks @Cjp. It becomes automatic the more I practice. But my eyes did stay a bit too long on an unclaimed bottle of wine. Iām staying the course.

I do understand 
when we are sooo used to feel crappy all the time, it becomes comfortable and notmal for us (even tho it is toxic). But overtime, feeling good with be the norm. Anything that is unusal to us is going to feel weird in the beginning. But keep pushing thru it. Keep doing all this amazing work ur doing! Derailment from how i understand it, means to keep off track. As in to get off track from what we need to do for our recovery. I could be wrong tho lol but It will come. Trust the process ur doing great!

Coffee. Getting ready for a Sunday day shift, which should be as flex as it sounds. Will see. It will be sober and clean for sure. Just for today. Which I expect and hope from all of you. Itās why weāre here friends. Have a good one, or at least as good as you can. Love from Amsterdamse Bos. Picture isnāt new, but one of my favourites.
@Crazy_Dutchie It got extended because of closures earlier. Valid till the end of November.

Day #47:
Feeling mindful and blessed this morning. Itās something that Iāve noticed quite a lot since Iāve decided to give up my alcohol addiction. On the whole, my sleeping pattern has improved ten-fold, my quality of sleep is better, and Iām waking up feeling fresh and ready for the day ahead. Whereas before, my life revolved around when I could get my first dose of an alcoholic beverage, now, every day is a new opportunity to be truly present & to do something that I enjoy.
Also, Iām feeling rather reflectful; looking back over the person I used to be while under the influence and some of the people Iāve lost along the way; some for the better, but also many through my own wrongdoing and addiction. Nevertheless, I can only focus on making a conscious effort to improve myself day by day, and to continue on my own sober journey. Iām a believer that those who are meant to be there for me will continue to be so.

Checking in on 870 days free from
Alcohol.
I donāt come on here too often now but I did stick with it lots to begin with due to the fact that there lots of people going through the same motions, who could openly talk of how the feel which was a great help for me as it times it was a lonely journey. The support on here was superb, there an amazing bunch of regulars that are always there to help and support others which is awesome 
i wonāt mention any as I wouldnāt like to miss anyone out, but they know who they are.
To some that are just starting out in there own journey, stick with it, stick with here no matter how often you delete and restart, thatās all part of the journey to freedom and a better life, eventually this will stick with you.
For me personally, my journey and life is just getting better and better, and it is purely down to removing this drug from my life. I actually had no idea the natural high you can get from life it self when your in control. At times if feels like the big drop is going to come, the wake up in the morning, and the shit has hit the fan, due to uncontrolled behaviour from the night before as fuelled with alcohol like in the older days, but itās not the case and that makes me smile.
Donāt get me wrong there still plenty shit that life throws at yeah, thatās for sure but can deal with these things just that wee bit better with a clearer head and better outlook in life.
Sorry lol my wee bit over, but wanted to share and if this give anyone that reads it a little bit of hope and helps in anyway then, thatās brilliant, stick with it guys itās worth it!
Have a lovely day and rest of the weekend all where ever you are Xx

Checking in on day 8
I had a bad night, the medicine I have to take for my gastritis has some side effects that kept me awake pretty long. It causes coughing and itchy skin 
Today my chest hurts a little but I can live with that, it wonāt last forever.
The worst part were the strange dreams I had. Do you know the feeling when you try to wake up but you canāt? I had that. And I dreamed that some kind of bomb hit my city. I can tell you I was happy to be awake but Iām still pretty confused.
I think Iāll need some more hours to calm down.
I forgot how awful the dreams are when becoming sober.
Yesterday I had a beautiful day, I felt happy and calm. Today is meh, but that wonāt last forever too 
Have a beautiful sober day friends
