Day 47
Hey, everybody! Not much to report, but I had to check in for my own sanity. It’s been a pretty gloomy week, and I don’t know why because nothing really bad has happened. The last two days have been awesome weather-wise. Low 70s after being in the high 90s. Went for a three mile walk before it started raining.
My Peer Support guy from Valeo had to cancel today because his brother passed away suddenly. I feel so bad for Brian because he also lost his father about 2 months ago.
Had had some cardiac tests done the other day as part of a routine checkup. Amazingly, my heart is in very good shape considering how badly I’ve treated myself. Small amount of plaque in the carotid arteries, but nothing life threatening.
Still tense about the employment situation, but keeping my chin up. I tell myself sometimes: “Some days your only accomplishment will be simply staying sober, and there’s nothing wrong with that.” But I really do need to make some forward progress.
Have a great sober night, fam! :v:

Been visiting my family this week. Was nervous about my first sober visit. It’s been going well. I have not felt like drinking at all. I have even visited a couple old friends who smoked weed in front of me. I wasn’t sure if i would partake in that…i stopped that before i stopped drinking and im not even sure why. I knew when the opportunity presented itself that would be breaking my sobriety and i do not want to do that. I have fully committed to figuring out emotions and relationships in healthy ways and i feel confident in my decision.

@Benwa10 hell yea bro!
@Twizzlers i think im ready to start working a program too. When i was younger 18-21ish i was always court ordered to aa and I really did start to enjoybthe meetings. I think now at 32 and sober by choice that they coukd really be a great tool. I thibk i will check one out this week.

Checking in day 150. Lots of things have been clicking into place for me in the last week. The business i started about a month ago with a friend is starting to really gain momentum. Coaching soccer is back on. Relationships and family are all good. Im doing shit i wouldnt have been able to do while being a drunk. 150 days of manifesting positivity and success in life is paying off. Have a good one everyone! Odaat!

#Day 1466 :seedling:
Tired and having a headache, but that is usual my state after a day of work and band rehersal in the evening. I think such a day is too intensive, but I like it too much to quit the band because of it. Tomorrow we have a small performance at our city theatre. I like it but it gives me a bit of stress as well. Always anxious I forget what I have to drum. We do not play from reading music notes on paper, but it’s all in our heads (we hope :flushed:). Some friends of mine are going to watch the show so fingers crossed for me please tomorrow, thank you :pray:

Coffee. They say you can’t catch up on lost sleep but I feel a whole lot better after sleeping 9 hours as compared to 3 hours the night before. I did enjoy my day off though. Visited the revived museum in the zoo which was nice. Did a spinning class. Had some really good sushi.

Today it’s back to work and I’m still not totally relaxed about that. Not feeling terrible about it either and will see how it goes. Sober and clean and one day at a time or nothing will come of it. Have as good a weekend as you all can friends. Love from Amsterdam.

@SoberWalker You have fun tomorrow. I know you can do it. You know that too :kissing_heart:

Morning everybody. Finally back to 30 days AF after a years worth of shit. Off today so I’m gonna hit the gym early and than take a ride up to the bike shop and look around. I might grab one if I see a decent sale since the weathers getting colder and they tend to skyrocket in the spring. I haven’t ridden in about 8 years so I gotta renew my license at some point soon. Anyways, have a great day kids. Behave yourselves :grin::green_heart:

Day 774

For a few days, or a week, my cup has been feeling a little bit empty. I have been doing what I have to do, but no more than that, and not with much emotional investment. Feeling a bit more with it today, did some decent cooking, not just throwing stuff together, and did some downloading materials and reading for work. But still, healthy kids, safe home, much to be grateful for

…1646. Found this place yesterday.

Not 100% addiction, however talking to the owner…most his customers are recovered alcoholics, addicts, or veterans.

Bought me a shirt

On to day 3 of music

Rock on Sober people!
