Day 3 here, quite wobbly yesterday evening but got through it and am feeling much stronger this morning. I like that the app reminded me to journal. Day 3 or 4 is usually tricky for me. Iāve been worrying about an upcoming road trip - my horses live on a gorgeous ranch in northern New Mexico & I drive from NE where I currently live to visit for a month or so (will be moving to Taos FT once my partner retires). I do this every couple of months & have yet to settle into the hotel without a couple of drinks to ārelaxā after a 12+ hour day of driving. I think all it really does is make me sleep poorly and be even more tired the next day. Iāve been doing this routine for 3 years and either travel solo or with my partner and dogs. This time Iām driving solo with my dogs as they have so much fun on the ranch & my partner canāt come. This adds additional stress but also major motivation to stay sober as I donāt want to be groggy driving (not that I ever want that) or make a stupid mistake with my dogs in my care. I found the comment above about welcoming the challenge very helpful, so thank you! Itās a mindset shift which is easy to make. I have about a month to get it cemented in my mind

Congratulations on day 3 Hoss.
We did a lot of driving from Durango to Santa Monica with our 4 cats and 2 dogs. I had about 2 weeks in being sober on my first drive on this wonderful sober journey. I always would reward myself with massive amounts of alchol after the drive. And be so hungover and sic the next couple of days. I was so proud of myself the first time I stayed sober. It was hard. I did a lot of angry power walks 2 or 3 times a day with Eminem. And I took many hot showers and cried it out. But waking up each morning with out a pounding headache felt amazing.
We got your back.
Iām glad your here.

Day 270. Saturdays and weekends are actually hard for me. They are boring and feel like to much time in the day. Might go for a jog, also need to clean the kitchen oven really good, on Saturdays we deep clean are chores. Easy enough Iāll get it done, much love

Morning Check In
Day 377
Currently on my way to work. Weather jumped from -38Ā°C to -15Ā°C. Its beautiful out! Thats definitly one reason why i love living where i doā¦ the quick change in weather.
My brother did our taxes yesterday. It was supposed to be done earlier but CRA had to approve Studio Tax or something. Either way it finally got done last night. I know that im not getting anything back but my hubby is hopefully, which would be nice.
Other than that, not much going on.
Hope everyone has an addiction free saturday!

13 days in. Still struggling with emotions from a breakup, but itās out of my control. Weekends are when i struggle the most. My son goes to his dads and Iām usually alone. I know my patterns and i need to focus on other things rather than getting that fix.

Congrats. You got this. I am right behind you with four months and 23 days. I will feel better when I am past five. But once you get one day over five, you will feel even stronger. Take care, and enjoy your weekend!

Holy shit man so many sober people hear and so many starting there journey brings a tear to my eye seriously. Such a beautiful thing man. For me itās Day 100 
Iāve never been 100%abstinent from all substances since 14 years old and that lasted 9 months. Iām 32 now and never did I think I would be willingly staying clean for myself. This place definitely has helped me a lot with people reaching out to me, and vice versa. Wasnāt long ago I couldnāt get passed 3 days for the life of me. Double digits shit forget about it, but here I am triple digits truly is a blessing. Shit has not been easy by any means good days, bad days. I really have to remind myself where I came from, alone thinking a solution was to die loaded. Today I want to be clean, I want to become a good man, a good father, son, friend. All this keeping track I need to remember this is a One Day At A Time process. I like the saying āthe person who woke up earlier than me sober today has more time than meā so 1 day or decades doesnāt matter all I have is this moment. Hope everyone is well thank you sober fam couldnāt have done it without you
