@Luna2022, couldn’t you put his things in storage somewhere and give the key to his relatives, friends or the court? Obviously, there is a cost associated. Could he be made to pay for it? Or his family? After all, if this were someone living on their own before their arrest, they’d also have to work out something to keep their stuff safe until they are out.

Day 157
While I was on that dating app I realized that all the years when I had a partner, I never was sober. I always was under the influence of something, may it be medication I got for my anxiety (that made me addicted to it), pills or alcohol.
So, I really don’t know how love feels 
That made me kinda sad. But I won’t stay in that sadness because it doesn’t help me. But still, it feels heavy.
I’m now here, sober, on my way home. But first its time to visit my favorite asian restaurant to pick up something yummie 
Have a beautiful sober day friends, stay strong

Day 
Going to Gym now. Few hours till Day 2 left. And it was hard lesson to learn, that success of the day begins at the evening the day before. Obviously, What you do the day before / affects / the next day 
Since I usually go to sleep around 00:00 I wake up tired especially after workout day and that is T - from HALT 
@LeeHawk Thank You! I was going to AA meeting before. It really makes big impact. At this moment I start day at 6:00 and then go back after 12 hours. The meeting is about to end when I go after work.
@SoberWalker I feel like I already answered this. It’s hard to explain @Mno explained that better than me before. I need to work on different mindset. That ODAAT mentality. Concentrate on [TODAY] as I said in previous post /NOW/ is where I need to work and not concentrate my energy on certain dates.
And I really want to Thank to Menno @Mno for pointing my problem. You are a good listener.
Thank You, my Friend and all the TS family!
Big Thumbs Up for You!

I legally had him evicted. Then when it came time to remove the belongings because he had notice through the magistrate, when they came here to put them at the road, they found out he was incarcerated and the guy called the judge and the judge put a hold on it, because he physically can’t remove his stuff. They told me just to come back to the magistrate’s office once he is released. Until then, I’m legally responsible for his stuff. A lot of it that was in the yard for 5 months, where he left it, no longer works so I took the risk and started trashing stuff. If he gets pissed about anything he can legally sue me civilly. I just don’t know how the burden of proof works in that scenario. I would assume he would have to prove what he had here, or he could just make up stuff to sue for. At least I can prove with pics the condition of the stuff. It’s just a hot mess. I just don’t feel legally I should have to hold this stuff since Sept and until indefinitely…when he was charged with a crime, I was the victim, and he has been evicted. It makes absolutely no sense to me.

Day 17 after 43 days sober and 22 days before that… each time in this past few months of my fight to stay sober from alcohol I have been able to lean in more and more and keep seeing the signs more and triggers from afar- and also can call myself on my BS excuses without so much “poor me” displays- IMO…
I picked up a new sober read by Allen Car bc I’m better when I’m reading sober material.
And last I shared with this group - I got a new job - bc I had access to day drink to often in my current career - so I made the scary but right choice to leave my job and the comfort of it to be in a space where I’m not able to drink during the day which is when I ruin my life in the past.
Sorry for the over sharing but I need to publicly share with you all.
Stay Sober friends! We can do it!

First over night trip tonight within this most recent sober timeframe.
28 days sober today!!! That’s four weeks. Wow!!!
I have intentionally prevented any travel to get some time under my belt.
I have agreed to touch base a couple times today and this evening with my Sponsor.
The challenge is on my mind constantly today and don’t want to fail. Thank you all for your support and transparency!!! This group has been a major source of inspiration and encouragement for me over the past 28 days!!!

Have done some extra meditations to try to lift me a little. TV time now to catch up on last night’s episode before tonight’s come on in 2hrs from now. Time to shower in-between so planning to do so.

And I am very glad to hear it. Push past those feelings that make you want to hide away. Many of us have come here to vent and release some of the pent up feelings, stress and thoughts that get stuck in our heads and it really helps to get it out. That’s what we’re here for, to be a supportive group that will listen and not judge. Keep coming back! You don’t have to go through this alone. I’m glad you’re sober and seeking in person support, too. Hang in there.

Day 59. I’m feeling accomplished to be almost at 60 days. But the depression is bad today. Really struggling to work. Crying spells. It somehow feels worse to be depressed when it’s sunny and warm. I got outside for a few minutes at lunch. I want to crawl into bed and hide under the covers. I hate this.

Day 387
Been a really good day today. I was exhausted waking up for some reason. I think its my damn pillows lol. I havent been sleeping well for awhile now. Really didnt feel myself. But once getting my son on the bus for school, i went for a workout (even though i didnt want to). So glad i went!! Did back and biceps and a 2km incline walk on the treadmill. Felt sooo good to get moving! Hubby stayed home from work today. Has been really nice spending time with him. Weirdly enough he brought up our recovery and about how much $$ weve saved since getting clean, how much better he feels and how he loves his life without drugs in it! It was really nice to hear bcuz we dont talk about recovery stuff very often. I was grateful to hear all of this. Just another piece of motivation to keep taking the right path! Grateful for another day clean and sober!
Hope everyone is also have another addiction free day

Checking in on day 634. I’m slowly recovering from the jet lag. Having my morning coffee and arguing with myself about whether or not to hit the hotel gym this morning. Today will be a busy work day including a work social event this evening at a pub. Glad I came clean about being sober to my work colleagues, but still a bit nervous. Happy to have this place for support. I imagine that I can jump on here if things go sideways. Hope everyone is doing well today
