@MrCade , very nice to hear from you.
Very nice to be heard again
How do you feel today?
Day 14, two weeks. Woot, I am tired

18 days without a drink.
Itâs all going ok but weekends are tricky. Will need to stay focused.
Hope everyone is well.
Day 559 Nicotine and Alcohol Free
Climbed higher on the spiritual mountain but only due to HP giving an helping hand.
I really donât want to forget this day , it was moving. To slip down again would be unthinkable!!
Ty Ajahn Summedo for your talk ," Traps we bind ourselves into, "it never gets tired!!
To the fellowship of friends in my life near and far(TS) Ty for all your efforts for me and the newcomers who still suffer. I feel love, love, love and look back and see that HP was always with me I just didnât Self realise, non seperation.
I will be a suitable old timer and not just grow old but give back to the community and our new comers.
Ps my partner gave years of her life to make this happen ~ Iâm indebted and Ty @Mno for leading me to this site!!
And tomorrow is another one day at a time. Thoughts have been creeping in my mind that i can have a drink again. Fuck those thoughts!
Day 21
So yesterday was the first day at work after long break. Flu seems like over but still not 100%. Have some sore throat and cough like crazy time to time. Today is Friday, having 20 days in my pocket. Really enjoying the spare free time you get by not picking the beer. It just flushes time, money, energy, everything - life!

Have as good a day as you all can friends. Sober and clean. Love.
Had a good meeting with a therapist but decided working with my individual therapist -who I click well with- and group therapy is enough for now. Need some time in my mind and body for other stuff too. Today is therapy day btw.
@Scorpn Itâs a precarious balance. Donât retract in your shell please. Keep working your stuff and share whatâs right and proper and fitting. Hugs.
@MrCade Always great to see you drop in Sir. Glad your life is going well.
@CATMANCAM I think you got some pretty big milestones to celebrate today! Great for finding somethings that work and are not unhealthy! Hugs.
@onthewagon31 Big congrats on 9 months Nate! Keep working and keep going. Those thoughts will keep getting weaker if you donât feed them. ODAAT and all that.
@Nowenbrace Makes me happy to be on this road with you Owen. Weâre in this together. x
@zzz Congrats man. Itâs good to see you living your life.
Good to hear from you, on you way to create a better life as we al do one way ore another.
#Day 1592
Had dinner with my family yesterday, it was fun and a good distraction. I love to see my children becoming adults more and more.
Hope we will keep close to eachother untill I die.
Itâs a wish and I will do all I can to make it happen but als know from my own experience it can go different than you think.
My father and I havenât seen eachother for 15 years ore so. Never in my mind could I have predict this. And yes I tried to fix it multiple times but the magic didnât happen.
Next week is my birthday. I will reach the same age as my mom did when she discovered she had breastcancer. She lived 5 years after that.
My grandmom (her mother) also died young with cancer. So my wish is to become old
Sorry for my sad mind right now. But itâs good to vent.
Joo puhun. en ois uskonu tÜrmääväni suomalaiseen täällä.
303 days
Still in a funk. But I made it through the work week. And Iâve got a nice wholesome day planned tomorrow for my birthday celebrations. Beach, good food, my hubby, kids and my best friend. So Iâm looking forward to that.
Also, we put an application in to foster two small dogs. Itâs been 6 months since we lost Pedro, and weâve seen two little dogs that need fostering. We may adopt them, but will see if we are a good fit for each other. So thatâs exciting. We miss having a pup, so it will be lovely to have them!
Their names are Snowflake and Milo
Checking in day 42. Working all day but off tomorrow and got some painting and other house projects I need to get going.
@CATMANCAM congratulations on your two huge huge milestones
@onthewagon31 congrats on 9 months
And belated congrats to @Alycia on 300 days
And anybody else I missed. Have a great day guysâď¸
Hello all,
Checking in on Day 1,644 Sober.
1 month out of TS Jail! But still not sure how long probations last before Regular status is regainedâŚI have been married for a long time though so prison a very familiar concept to me.
Thanks
Hey all, checking in on day 957. I hope everybody has a good one!
Day 20. This is definitely the longest Iâve been sober in the past 5 or so years. The IOP definitely helps keep me accountable. I just need to talk to them about my meds today. The new antidepressant they have me on leaves me so exhausted all the time I can barely function. So in a way itâs making things worse. Iâm glad itâs almost the weekend so I can rest more. The program is definitely a lot to process.
Iâm not drinking today, and probably not drinking tomorrow. Join me for another day of sobriety? Iâm sure @Dazercat will be joining us as well. You are not alone.
Those antidepressants can take a bit to adjust to, itâs why the psychiatrist wants to see you a lot in the beginning. Just know that itâs totally normal. Can they help you with your headaches?
Positives:
*Youâve hit the pillow sober 20 evenings in a row
*Your IOP group is a source of support and youâre enjoying that
*You have a job that is supportive and allows you the flexibility to take care of you and protect your sobriety
*Youâve got a wonderful TS community that is rooting for you each and every day
*The IOP group should be able to help you with a long-term plan to support your ongoing sobriety
Just checking in saying hi. Having a good morning, feel strong, excited. Going to be taking recovery coach classes In March. Then going for phlebotomy classes as well. April Iâll be registering for school to get my case act and hopefully become a counselor. I have alot of work to do, and just taking one small thing at a time. Much love
