Day 84. During this past week, each day feels like 100. I am in the eye of the storm, knowing this will pass, and peace in my life will prevail . I will not give in. Grateful to all of you who understand exactly how it feels. Blessings.

This is the coffee I remember really liking thatās decaf and strongā¦ I donāt know if you can get it where you are?? Oh I was going to post a picture but itās not letting me do it for some reason. Itās Tribal organic coffee itās called Serene spirit and itās dark organic decaf. Maybe you can look it up and see if itās available.

For me was/is a daily meeting something that grounds me and the more I take part the better I get to know all regular participants. This is nice, because of this itās feeling like coming home.
Yes, to see the group of people as a higher power is a perfect way to enable atheists and so on to take part easier. For myself it didnāt fit, but I found my own way in reading lots of grapevine literature.
Alma, the dog, is a little suicidal and tried to kill herself with mushrooms and after that with the filling of her Teddy bear at the age of 11 weeks.
Luckily, we had to drive to the ER just once at midnight.

Thatās probably a fair assessment. I donāt know that Iāve totally given up on alcohol in my mind. Iām having a hard time finding my āwhy.ā Iām still sober today. I will stay sober today. Just not really motivated because my entire life is in pieces.

Checking in 
Had a productive day at work and am in a very positive mood. Joynd positive contacts.
Despite of grocery shopping afterworkā¦
Grumpy peopleā¦ Sometimes it seems as my smiling seems spookey to these people in the grumpy mood 
ā¦
Bought just a few additional foods for the weekend. At the checkout there was an older man behind meā¦ He had a package (6 bottles) of wineā¦
My regular ration for the weekend at least before sobriety! The man didnāt wear a maskā¦ And he was looking sooooo fucking sad and empty! Reminded me so hardly on the inner world of my past self.
Glad to leave the shop with my tomatoes, avocado, chicken and Haloumi stuff 
Very happy that itās weekend, having time to relax, for myself, sports and healingā¦
I really love being around just with myself more and moreā¦ Becoming a good and reliable friend to myself! I am wearing a calm smile most time of the day 
Sending LOVE! 
Take care, choose the cool way
and stay sober!

A rare find amongst the alcohol booths and pot smoke in the air. They have meetings at 3 and 6. Went to the 3 oclock meeting yesterday. It was fun.

Thats amazing to see the booth, im so happy to see it exists.
I have heard if you go out, the tables with yellow balloons are for non drinkers but dont take my word for it.

Had to go to the VA for lab work this morning. Took daughter out to breakfast afterwards.
We went to Samās Club after for hurricane prep. Got cases of water and boxes of snacks. Large packs of tp and several cases of soda. I also got two weeks supply of pixie sticks for just in case lol. A week of pixie sticks costs less than one day of cigs so itās a win/win. Got batteries. Only thing left is candles.
Son in law is new to Florida from California. He knows earthquakes, not hurricanes and how fickle they can be. He told us not to over do it on prep. Sorry but I live by the better prepared than sorry motto especially with this many kids in the house.
Having a much better day today. Tonight is enchiladas for dinner. Tomorrow is hamburgers, potato salad, corn on the cob and baked beans. My week of kitchen duty will be officially over. Yay!
Off to watch tv awhile. Perks of retirement. I do want I want when I want lol
Have a blessed day
