You also did a really good deed for your co-workers by being the DD. I enjoy providing that though itās rare as Iām older. Glad you are doing well.

Matt, I rarely reply to you but damned if you arenāt one of the kindest persons Iāve ever not met in real life. I just got a sponsor and will be starting to work the steps officially with someone. Iām ready! Good luck thru them and thanks for all you do.

Day 14
Hey all,
Trying to stay up late as I woke up way too late in the day (10:30am!!) and I just feel like Iād be spending the day in bed. Iāve got 9 days until I get paid, and I feel both restless and lethargic. Been too cold and drizzly to walk anywhere. So, Iāve been looking on YouTube for something that wonāt be annoying or triggering. Tons of outdoors videos, which just remind me that I canāt go backpacking anymore. 
But Iām still feeling worlds better than I did last night.
Have great sober evening/morning, fam!

Day 255 AF
85 hours free of nicotine.
Woke up at 5 in the morning as usual, but in stead of having coffee and nicotine I went for a 1 hour run. No traffic, juste me and the birds. Great way to start my day.
Hope you all have great start of yours!

Doing the steps really helped me. They certainly can be unsettling and upsetting, but I hope they will bring clarity and peace in the long run.

#Day 1646 
Just put my second hand cat on the scale. She is almost 11 years old and very fat. We have her for almost 3 weeks now and itās going so much better with her already. But we still have a road to go.
Iām good with projects. Like this cat is a project for me to get her healthy and happy again I made myself as a subject like that a few years ago. Drinking way to much, eating unhealthy and seeing my life crumble. I had to act!
I still have a road go too, but look where I am already! So never ever give up on yourself!
Always see the light and keep focussing on the little steps! Never quit trying!
Maybe itās 3 steps ahead and 2 backwards?Nevermind! You are still going forward
Have a good day/night all of you and my fat red and sweet project says hello as well

Checking in on day 21. I am so much happier than 3 weeks ago! Cravings have mostly gone but Iām still having alcohol related thoughts about a couple of events coming up this summer which are always very heavy drinking affairs. I havenāt worked out what Iām going to do about them yet, but I have time to solve that.
Today I head off on a business trip for 3 days. Just about to head to the airport and navigate all the opportunities to drink alcohol with no one but myself to be accountable to. In prior attempts to stay sober this trip would have been a perfect excuse to drink with no one to judge me, but I feel different this time. Being here has really helped me feel accountable to myself but also to all of you whom Iām on this journey with.
Iām looking forward to getting home on Friday feeling good (rather than hungover and anxious) and packing for holiday starting Sunday.
Have a great day everybody !

Have as good a day as you all can friends. Sober and clean. Love.
@Twizzlers Thanks for checking on me friend. I have a late shift tonight so I can sleep in and I did. Slept very long in fact, so long that Luna came and got me out of bed this morning
. I need spring and I need to move in my personal life. Small steps yes, which brings me toā¦@SoberWalker I made Luna part of a project too when I got her and her sister Rosa in November 2006. And I did start nursing school and actually learn a craft just then too. Looking back that was the first project to better myself, at 40, long before I realized I was addicted.
@james83 & @Hoss Safe sober travels to the both of you!

Things will get better friend. Or maybe not, who knows. One thing I am absolutely totally 100% sure of is that indulging in our addictions wouldnāt help. It would just put us much much deeper in the hole. The only way out is through and all that. Keep going.
