Evening Check In
Day 385
Work was okay. Nothing exciting happened. Went running around after work to try and find my hubby some winter work gloves bcuz he doesnt have any and its supposed to be cold tmrw. Oddly enough i struggled to find some! I went to 3 places plus the grocery store. So i gave my husband my gloves to wear, even tho they are abit tight on him at least his hands will be warmer.
I made supper (im becoming a pro at hanburger helper lol), did laundry including his work clothes, got my son ready for bed, gave him his meds, and now am relaxing finally. I am beat. I cant wait to sleep 
Hope everyone is doing well today and getting ready for another week!
Hugs TS fam!

Day 365
I tidied for 15 min, more like 20. I hung out with my cat all day. Now my other cat is here kneading my blanket. Cats.
Reread some of my first posts here. Many still resonate. I think what my sobriety accomplished most is the aversion of another total disaster. I am not happier and my problems are fucked up. But if i had kept drinking and smoking odds something even more horrible would have happened. Now I have a boring daily routine. And im very very grateful I wasnt getting high this past year.

It’s a long weekend, doing some cooking today. I’ve been feeling flat as a tack, really trying to push forward. Going for walks and gym sessions for my stupid mental health. I’ve been playing Stardew Valley on the switch to try and calm my brain down and do something that requires absolutely nothing from me. I must say, it’s been nice.
I hate that I seem to go through such lows, and I try and remember that these lows were pretty catastrophic for me when I was drinking.
Anyway, big hugs to you all, hope you are having a good day whatever you may be doing today x

Day 156
Another monday morning 
Still cold and raining here, I’m so fed up with that weather and with the fact that you have to wear so thick clothing 
I can’t move in this and when I’m in the train it’s hot as hell 
I’ll see my dentist again today, feeling nervous already. But I know whatever they have to do, it will be okay. They just want to help.
The boss won’t be happy about me being away from work again, but I’ll ignore that.
Now that it’s not mandatory any more to wear a mask everyone in this train is sneezing and coughing. Of course in their hands like Covid never happened and we never learned that that’s bad. Awesome.
I’m masked up again until this time of the year is over.
Have a beautiful sober day friends, stay strong

Good morning from Spain. Today is specially a good one.
I accomplish half a year sober. My life has changed a lot in a positive way. I feel better physically but, even more important, spiritually.
I have regrets, of course, but I am eager to continue doing my everyday better.
Kind regards.

Checking in on day 633. I took a big step and told work colleagues that I wasn’t drinking. I chickened out and said it’s because of medication. That’s not a total lie, as my antidepressants don’t mix well with booze. I’m still terrified of the stigma and being looked down on. I guess I still have a lot of work ahead of me. But I won’t be drinking on this work trip, so that is a win.
Hey @Minatasha congratulations on a year!
@Kdog way to go 
four years! What an inspiration.
Congratulations @EFountains on a half year! Keep up the great work

And almost missed your beautiful milestone!
I still remember my first whole year! My best milestone ever I guess.
Now you did everything sober ones (birthdays, Easter, Christmas, New Years Eve, etc).
What a good feeling isn’t it!

#Day 1630 
Had an easy day yesterday. Brainstormed about a new name for our new old cat. Finally we found one we think fits her:
Wickie
Referring to the lead character in the animation serie I liked when I was little in the 70’s.
Today? Grocery shopping, house chores and maybe some creative stuff. I have to finish my “artwork” from goldsmith class.
Bye for now and keep doing the good stuff!

Day 51.
So, I’m finally starting to feel better physically and seeing significant improvement on my energy levels. And this week I’m starting a 10k steps per day goal, and within the month I wanna get back into workouts. I know I keep going on about working out, but I’m also apprehensive about starting too much at once as previous attempts at doing a 180 on my whole life ended ended in disaster. So for now, it’s daily meditation, lemon water, once a week lifering meeting, this place, therapy and now the extra walking. Baby steps.
I need to grab some Voltarol for my hands because my my carpal tunnel is a monster right now.

I had sugar cravings for a few months into sobriety. I never ate sugar before i became sober. I decided ill let it be and then once i became strong enough and in touch with how the sugar made me feel, i stopped eating sugar. I found it easy to stop thank goodness. Congrats on the 11 days!
