#Day 1622 :walking_woman:
Do you believe in faith?
I do!
I said to myself a few days ago: if someone ask me if I want a certain cat then I have to seriously think about it.
Yesterday when we are in German for a weekend my neighbour called. If I was interested in a new cat?
So today Iā€™m going to meet this one:


She is 7 years old. I hope there is a click.
Still very sad about the loss of Buts, but I hate my empty house right now. And this way I can help this cat find a good forever home.
Wish us luck! :crossed_fingers:

Keeping my fingers crossed for you. She looks like a peaceful soul and curious.

Have as good a day as you all can friends. Sober and clean. Love.


Remind me never to predict a quiet late shift like I did yesterday! :face_exhaling:. So for today letā€™s just hope for a good one.
@SoberWalker Cuuuute! She reminds me very strongly of Rosa, Lunaā€™s sister. Including the little tufts on top of her ears :heart_eyes_cat: :heart_eyes: . What a cute little lynx! Hereā€™s hoping for a click. Positive vibes for you both.

Day 62 today. Feeling ok. Few things going on at the minute that are triggers but Iā€™m getting there and staying sober as I know it will make it all worse otherwise :slight_smile: Iā€™m going to be doing some nice things for myself today to distract myself and to feel better :slight_smile:

You are sober for nearly half a year, what a super achievement :muscle:t3:!
And I know what you are talking about regarding the review, my one was scheduled for Friday and I was really nervous, although I knew I do a pretty decent job. Good luck with your one :ok_hand:t3:!

Day 43.

I feel exhausted, yet have a loads of shit to do if I wanna send my invoices in the 1st (This is probably the most adulty sentence I ever typed up.) My carpal tunnel is acting up too, so fun times all around. On the bright side, this morning I did a really cool meditation on self-compassion, and Iā€™ve stopped drinking 6 whole weeks ago. Thatā€™sā€¦ something.

I think that means you have been quite active for a while and now get some extra privileges a newbie would not have (like commenting more than X times within a certain time) for your efforts.

I am also on day 62 (so this is also my check-in for today) and yes, that little voice sometimes also gets back into my ear, but we are stronger than it and can be so proud of what we already achieved!
Have a splendid and sober Sunday :+1:t3:, yā€™all!

Thatā€™s some something somethinā€™ for sure! Way to support yourself. Mindful Self-Compassion is a great thing to work on in early recovery. There is even a workbook you can order with that exact title.

Love your profile pic. Did you like the movie?

Oooh! Iā€™m gonna look into getting that workbook. I need all help I can get right now. So far, Iā€™ve been using guided meditations from the Smiling Mind app. Theyā€™re brilliant and completely free, but expanding on is part of the plan.

And thanks! M3GAN is brilliant, Iā€™m obsessed haha

Checking in day 175! Had brunch and hung out with coworkers yesterday. They drank at brunch and then all day- nice to be able to hang without desire to partake (it actually puts me off). I was able to drink home and relax for the night, instead of the old me who wouldnā€™t have stopped til I passed out.

Iā€™m off work today. Have a couple little things to do- getting some furniture delivered and then running some errands. Wanting to take time to relax as well.

Hope you all have a super sober Sunday!

Day 378
Morning TS fam! Hope everyone is having a good day so far. Currently on my way to work for another shift. Had a haaard time falling asleep last night. Late last night i found out an old friend of mine had passed away. She was in her 30s and it was very much a shock. We used to work out together, grab coffees after meetings, chat. She was a wonderful woman but never was quite the same after her baby boy passed away years ago.
I laid in bed for awhile trying to process this news. And its not like im trying to make it about me but i couldnt help but ask myself what i am doing to lengthen the time i have left. Since getting clean and sober i seem to have a fear of death now. I guess bcuz i love life today and can see what i have in my life today that i dont want to lose. But with yet another friend passing away, way too soon, i am almost reevaluating my daily choices. I definitly am creating the potential for a longer life by staying clean and sober. But my physical health needs working on. I was stuck wondering how to make an impact on this world while im here. How do i want to live my daily life? Being stressed out and miserable? No. By not telling others how i feel about them? No. Life gets busy but i need to get my priorities straight a bit. Life is just wayyy too short to waste it on being ungrateful or miserable or stressed etc.
Anyway, thanks for letting me get this out. Hope everyone has an addiction free day
