I will think healthy thoughts for your son. I know thereās a lot of sickness out there Iām sorry that it affects him so much. Itās hard enough not to worry when you have a perfectly healthy child. Iām sure that it is stressful for you, but youāre right you have to keep your faith and itās so important for him to be there and Iām glad that heās excited about going backā„ļø

Day 137 no alcohol(sorry I think I may have said 138 before I thought I was there already LOL)
Day 2 no THC- Iām not going to lie, the cravings were definitely there this evening but I rode the Wave and made it through and I feel way better!!!
Iām hoping that I sleep okā¦ But I will try not to worry too much about that and just focus on this moment right now.

Day 457 AF
Went out for a walk this morning, did laundry, and chilled with the kiddos.
I had a lil convo with my wife about my sobriety and recovery, and how Iāve felt so far. It was a good chat.
Itās back to the grind tomorrow.
Hope everyone is doing well. Take care, gang. Stay strong.

I think you never went over āthe bridgeā so to speak. I find it hard to explain in the right words. For me the first 3 or so months where hard. All of my relapses where just before ore right at 90 days. For me it felt different around the 4th month ore so. Then it went easier.
Every person has his ābridgeā in another time I guess. I think you never went over it in all those years. Is that possible?

#Day 1581 
What are the things that sparkle my joy in life? 
Want to make changes for the better. Want to make my life more sparkling.
Now I have left the band Iāve played in there is much time to fill in.
Also busy tidying up and trow away stuff.
Today? Going for a walk before work and then work.
Picture from my last walk, as you can see it rained a lot. Some pieces of land are floated by the river and the footpath is gone there. I hope I can get trough it today.
Have a sober/clean day TS friends and make the best out of it

Day 1655/56
Didnt check in yesterday.
It was a good day. Life in general at the minute is very stress free, and thatās because I allow it to be. Donāt get me wrong I have all the same worries and problems as the anybody else but I just donāt let them bother me to a point of becoming troublesome for my brain.
Work is quiet at the moment which in the past would lead to fear of financial insecurity and make me overwork to pull more work in. I donāt do that anymore. I hand it over to a power stronger than me. What will be will be.
Now I use the time where Iād usually be working to be a better human and to help others.
Just because we get sober doesnāt instantly make life ten times easier. What does are the coping mechanisms and tools we use when shitty situations arise. In the past we used our DOC thinking that was the solution, only it made things far worse.
Meditation was a game changer for me. It allowed me to slow my head and everything around me down enough for me to see a way through any problem and a solution that benefits all parties not just myself.

Day 265 off the booze. Working at the restaraunt/bar has been taking a toll on me. Im beggining to realize that i dont need to work all the timeā¦ especially surrounded by people drinking and the whole atmosphere. My 4 year old told me that i should do bad at my job so i could get fired and spend more time with him and that kinda reinforced it. Will see how this week goes and may put in my 2 weeks after. Anyways its late and im just ramblin so have a good night guys!

I have heard this time and time again, about a positive shift that occurs between 3-4 months. That certainly was my experience. Iām at 22 months and the longest I had before that was 54 days. I offer up to people in the early days that the āgood stuffā really takes off for many by month 3-4. The Luckiest Club online community does a re-occurring Sober 90, and Iām so grateful they do.
For all those starting out or who goes thru relapse cycle, if it can help motivate you to do this ODAAT for 3-4 months, please know this has been the reality for many with long term sobriety. Recovery is progressive, just like the disease of alcoholism is. In fact, I stopped looking at my day count regularly after day 100. Celebrated my monthly milestones and was thrilled to have accepted that I was a non-drinker and never had to drink again.

90 days sounds so far away! Checking in day 10. I get back to the IOP this morning which Iām thankful for. These past few days have been a struggle. Barely any cravings, but serious mental health issues. I feel like Iām barely holding on. I think it might be time to try a different medication. I see my doctor again next week. One day at a time. One minute at a time.
