Nervous excited! I have a friend date to meet someone new for snowshoeing tomorrow morning. Haven’t met anyone new in way too long and I’m freaking out a little.

I’ll go first:
Quit using cocaine
Met an amazing group of people
Decided to finally get better
Stopped letting addictions take me from my kids

Now it’s your turn :heartpulse:

tonight will be day 276 of no self harm

the wind wasn’t bad at all and I got to see my grandpa at the hospital today. he actually went home today. he was okay except for he’s super unsteady. the leaning stops until he starts to get tired. my aunt is staying the night with him tonight, and my mom and I will stay tomorrow. i doubt I’ll be getting much sleep because my uncle lives across the street so i always feel unsafe. but today was okay. a little sad at points. my grandpa doesn’t eat enough, but he always wears clothes from back when he was obese (10+ years ago)so I never realized how skinny he is now.i could only tell because he was in the hospital gown. he has a very clear thigh gap and you can see the muscle definition in his thoughts because the lack of fat. and when the nurse took the tape off the IV, his skin is so thin it lifted it and tore a hole. and he was in so much pain. i almost cried. he got home and went to bed right away. i kissed him on his forehead and said I loved him before I left and that alone almost made me cry seeing how exhausted he was.

Ended a long term relationship that had already ended itself but we were both clinging to for comfort/familiarity

Started seeing a therapist and working on my mental health

Got the knee surgery I was putting off and fearful of

Started living more in the present instead of replaying past trauma or putting all hope in the future for happiness (both of which were big causes in my worst panic attacks)

Rebuilt the foundation of my relationship with my favorite person — my sister :yellow_heart: :smiling_face_with_tear:

Day 53. Not much to report on today except tonight is the first night in a few weeks I don’t actually have to get up super early in the morning. I don’t think I’ve been this excited for sleep in my life. Just had some tea, took a bath and I’m heading to bed (at 8:39pm :joy: on a Friday)
Going to close the curtains and sleep as long as my body will let me.
Have a good night, sober fam :heart:

Today is the two year anniversary of my Dad’s death. I saw my Mom and some family this morning and got some things done around the house. I’m also allowing myself to feel the sad. I won’t drink about it. I will rest up, feel my feelings, eat good food and end the day laying a sober head on my pillow. I miss you Dad.

Day 2179, a tickle in my throat is keeping my from falling asleep! So I came on here to read for a while until the tickle spasms die down. Went to a meeting yesterday and had coffee with my sponsor after. I am a little uncomfortable sharing in mixed meetings but it is a good meeting so I’ll try to go to it most weeks. My son is not doing his math homework consistently and his grade has slipped to a ‘C’ so that’s a bit stressful. He had two assingnments that are “closed” after today and I’m afraid I’ll check and they won’t be done. Maybe I’ll be pleasantly surprised. Have a good sober night, all.

Just got back from the Xmas party. I survived. We had a blast! We danced all night. I had water and soda. My wife had a few drinks. Everything is good!

You can still have fun without drinking!

Have a goodnight gang.
