Pic is from my bike ride yesterday. Weather changed from rain to dry and back to rain ten times or so. @SoberWalker. Rosa/Roos/Roosje? In the seventies many folks gave their red cats names of (in)famous “reds”, like Che or Mao. Rosa would go for Rosa Luxemburg And I just love the name.
Or maybe (Rooie) Sien/Sientje? For the Amsterdam touch. Or even more basic just Rooie.
Lady, you are such an inspiration to me. Even when things get hard for you, you still push through on your resolve to stay clean. Thank you you sharing.
That brings back memories. I used to live in Tilburg and there lived a “paradijsvogel” and her nickname was “Rooie Stien” She was a scary old lady. Small, no teeth, always swearing and the story went she has a brick in her purse to defend herself I was a kid back then and I was very scared for her. She had a son and he was in an out of jail and drank loads. He was blind to one eye because of a fight. Going to add Stien on my list but I don’t think my kids will vote for that one Will add Roosje as well, thank you Menno.
Good morning. I feel well rested today and a lot better than yesterday. Went for that run and after I relaxed at the sauna so that activated my immune system. I made soup that tasted like hamburger helper. Still have a cough but I’m on the up
Lazy Sunday today. Will have an omelet and a salad for a brunch and some kurkuma, ginger, and apple juice topped with sparkling water. Later will see my friend for a late lunch/early dinner. She knows I’m sober so no temptation.
Day 6 AF
Spent a beautiful morning at the beach and then kept myself busy the rest of the day. Sunday night in bed now listening to the rain on the roof is so calming. Hope everyone is doing ok.
Hey guys, not doing too bad so far, seem to keep myself busy enough to obstain the need or cravings. It’s not easy as most of you already know but I’m certainly starting to feel better in myself that’s for sure.
Anxiety is through the roof today. I’ll try to lower it with a walk in nature in the afternoon.
Anyway, I somehow manage not to drink Friday and Saturday evening, so I kind of feel good about it
Day 996 clean and sober today. Funny that my quality of life has gone up amazingly by having my own apartment but yet now I’m broke and unable to do the things I really want to do like backpack and travel. Kinda trapped myself into the “norm” of what we’re “supposed” to do as grown ups and for me and my life it actually doesn’t make sense when I think about it. Converting my jeep into a place to sleep and having the money to live life and explore seems like a way better use of my resources to me. Just thinking out loud. $55 for a therapy session to be informed that my sadness is valid wasn’t a very fair trade in my opinion but lesson learned. Have an amazing day everyone, love you guys
I don’t know if you like ambient music but the album Nova + 4 by Yutaka Hirose is amazing for destressing and relaxing. I put it on when I’m anxious and it’s an hour and a half of meditative living. Could be nice before or after your walk
Checking in day 182! Hit 6 months today, and so grateful for this sober time. Can’t wait to keep moving forward, one day at a time.
Spent time with friends last night, pretty tired today. Going to walk my friends dog and get out for a hike today. I have to present for work early tomorrow, so going to wind down early tonight and hopefully catch up on some sleep.
Checking in on Sunday morning. Weather gonna be nice today so gonna try and take advantage of it and get out on the bike a while after work, maybe go grab a couple of fish for the aquarium hobby. Really just try and enjoy the day.
@CueBall8n9 Hopefully your not too long without power. I do overhead line work for living so I know how long it takes to get it back up and running after these storms, and how frustrating it is for the people without power. Hang in there.. @MooseTracks congrats on your 6 months sober.
