Hello all,
It’s been a minute since I have posted here, so just checking in. Life has been busy lately for me. After making amends to my daughter’s other side of the family, I am now looking forward to building a new relationship with my daughter. So very thankful to be able to do so and so very thankful for the opportunity to show them I can maintain my own lane and not get all tangled up in their family drama.

…1668. Blew 4 acres of leaves, dug out 45 cubic feet of mud from a retention pond and took it to the garden…moved a couple trees worth of wood…
Hot tub…then showered…now waiting on Ms. Monkey’s daughter to come over and help her cook dinner
Hard to drink when you fill your life with sober things.
Stay sober friends

Day 86 AF
Day 67 toxfree
Just checking in… Falling into bed… 
Had a family day, received lots of aunty love and hugs from my 9 year old niece 
, enjoyed mums kitchen, started day with Yoga and ended with a swim workout of 2550 m in 1 hour 
Today I just thought…
I loooove this new clear and sober mind…
Everything is getting clearer, cleaner and more focused everyday! It feels so fresssh and nice 
By the way… I am happy as I lost 6 pounds in last 3 weeks 
by a very special anti disorder form of eating, allowing everything, relaxation, sports and maybe butterflies in my stomach.
Hugs

Hey, just wondering how I change my counter from months to days? I had to get a new phone and it’s all changed.

68 sober days today. 6th day off work due to injury . Had some of the strongest urges to drink last night but locked the doors and zoned out on Netflix.
Not being able to use my hand and keep bussy is taking it’s toll

31 days alcohol free today. I accidentally offended a friend today. Nothing to do with drinking, just something that came across poorly and not as I had intended it. I apologized right away but I tend to overthink and now I’m ruminating on it. I’m not in any danger of relapse but I just wish my brain would be more quiet sometimes. I know this is one of the reasons why I would drink - to turn off my brain.

Thank you! Not yet. I should say that this is not a good friend, more of a new friend I’m just getting to know.

Checking in! Going to be laying my sober head down for my 42nd day in a few. I was off today and didn’t eat as well as I’d like- but hey, I’m sober so I’m grateful. I hope everyone enjoyed their sober weekend!

Five hours to midnight and day 52 is in the books. I am fairly new in this forum and thought I’d wait to 60 days to post. But today is the day that pink cloud finally drifted away. I was down and out most of the afternoon but held out from drinking or picking up. Was very proud of myself for rejecting a drink last night without thinking twice. Goes to show how mindless some people are. I went to my sons friends house to thank the parents for watching my son while I was away at rehab and first thing he asked was if I wanted a beer. Oh well. I made the right choice without making a big deal about it. Have a great night everyone and good job for taking another 24.
