Day 2 of hopefully many more to come. Been a very long week and I’ve been experimenting with trying to find outlets for stress that don’t cost energy. So far I haven’t found anything concrete but we’ll see.

Day #53
Grateful that it’s the weekend, and I’m looking forward to an activity-filled day today. Yesterday was a bit of a nightmare at work - somebody collapsed after having a stroke. I was the only member of management in at the time, and I’ve only been in the job for just over a month, so that was nerve-wracking. Thankfully, I believe the individual is ok after an ambulance was called and they were taken to hospital. When something like this happens, it really triggers that “fight or flight” mentality. Two months ago, while I was still drinking, I honestly believe I would have struggled in a situation like that. I wouldn’t have known what to do & would have frozen. Although I’m not, my sobriety has made me feel like an entirely different person to who I was mere months ago. I’m able to stay calm under pressure, and I’m able to use rational thinking in order to resolve and deal with difficult & often stressful situations - that wouldn’t have been possible 50+ days ago.
Anyhow, I’m looking forward to attending Parkrun this morning, then I’m off to the England vs Samoa game which opens the Rugby League World Cup here in England. I’ve previously mentioned that this’ll be my first sporting event since becoming sober, but I’m looking forward to being present, having a few Coke’s & enjoying the day. In times gone by, going to sporting events was all about the alcohol consumption; now it’s about the experience & enjoying the game.
Back to work tomorrow, so I’m going to enjoy my day today. Have a good one everybody - ODAAT!

I’m really jealous, because in my country isn’t any provider for rugby game streams. I really liked to watch rugby during the Olympics.

Checking in on day 14, two weeks 
I slept looong, I needed that. Now breakfast, then grocery shopping and after that I’ll visit a Shopping Mall that’s not far away. I haven’t been there in ages!
I maybe do a second check in later bc it’s the weekend and I used to drink Fridays and Saturdays.
Stay strong friends 
Edit: my belly size went down! From 98cm to 94,5cm. In 2 weeks!

Get an IPTV box & or subscription. Admittely it’s not 100% legal but it’s cheap (if you find the right one), works like a charm and gives you (and me) 1000’s of channels for free, including all the sports channels in the world.

Checking for forty days in the path of sobriety. No beer before having lunch, just another thing (it may be not merely healthy). 
.
Happy twenty four hours!, best regards.

11pm home from Yelawolf concert still sober, man that was patience trying though, hard being around a lot of wasted people who have no idea about personal space.
Great gig super stoked to have seen him.

Checking in on day 7!
It’s been a week since my last drink. Last saturday night I got really drunk in a bar with friends. I embarrassed the waiter, argued over the check and but I don’t really remember why I did all those things… alcohol is the devil.
So glad to be sober today!

Day 855. Woke up very disoriented and almost like feeling like I’m out of control mentally??? Like I’m just mentally floating and everything in life is just swirling around me and I am not anywhere… freaking weird. I’m actually very excited to be getting back to work today I think it will help ground me into the present moment. I went on a relatively easy hike yesterday but am trying to think what could have caused this??? I did eat a lot right before bed which isn’t good, maybe that set me off. This is definitely something that I haven’t experienced before almost like I don’t feel in control of my life. This too shall pass, love you guys and I am grateful you all are here!!!
