Thank you @Markjackson! It’s definitely better with this community. We all have different lives but similar struggles. :yellow_heart: most things that are worthwhile don’t come easy……ODAAT!

I think I might have a second disc herniation because I sometimes feel tingling in my left hand when my neck is really tight, gotta bring it up at the next PT appt. So for anyone struggling with chronic pain and sobriety, I just wanna let you know I’m here doing it too. It really, really, sucks the entire time. But I have other things in life that give me meaning that make it tolerable. They’re probably the only reason I’m not under a bridge. Anyway that’s my daily check in, also congratulations to Alycia on 1 year, that’s really something to behold.

This is so important and wise!! We just have no idea how to ‘be’ sober when we used for so long, you know? The who am I now? It really is a process of becoming our selves.

How can we expect to feel comfortable in our skin and sobriety, when we have no idea what it feels like to be a truly sober human?

Big stuff and glad you are working on your space…clearing our chaos…internal and external can help so much. Baby steps.

Is their a book that goes with it? I think I know about that course, but maybe there are multiple versions. Such a great thing to learn to practice.

Boring day today. Finished watching season 3 of The Boys. New season of Reacher hasn’t started yet, so I don’t know what to binge next.
Yesterday , though, I had my first dental checkup in a very oong time. The result was predictably bad. None of my uppers can be saved because there’s too much bone loss. And I have 3 on the bottom that need to come out immediately because of infection. Dentures will be $10,000 or if I get implants on the bottom, $50,000 :exploding_head:
Yesterday was my brother’s birthday. Even though it was his idea to stop talking, I have tried to contact him over the years. Every phone number I can find for him is disconnected.
Today was supposed to be the day my SSI started, but I haven’t heard anything from anyone and I’m getting worried because I always expect the worst. But I’m still sober. Have good evening, fam! :v:

Checking in with a milestone. Was a quiet day, got some chores done, played some mahjong with the gals, and watched my #2 baseball team not play well at all. But #1 won! Tomorrow I leave for a long drive to ski for the week! Spring skiing is the best! And every indication is that I will do it sober😊
Take care all!

Day 1607
Today is the the day before I cannot procrastinate any longer. Hmmm.
Well, anyway. Experienced power-packer here.
I hope everyone has a good and sober day, night.

Edit: challenge is to pack the last boxes when you move without having the other boxes packed before so you have to stay focused on not forgetting important things :zipper_mouth_face:

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


Pic is from my bike commute through Utrecht. On a three day weekend now. Just three work days left before a two week holiday for me yay! Will be making a trip to Berlin for 5 days. Looking forward to that! Clean and sober, which I sure wasn’t the last time I was there, somewhere around 2000. x

Had an easy day yesterday.
Today? Another easy day I guess. House chores and goldsmith class in the evening.
Tomorrow I have to work.


Have a good day all :sunglasses::+1:
