We can only do our best… your intent in your heart is what shows through. You are loving, thoughtful of others, caring … and also busy, busy. Yes, being aware of how quickly a life can disappear and of how fast time flies is important… being kind and treating others the way you’d like to be treated is your nature … give those hugs, tell people you really care and love them … but don’t feel bad when you don’t.
It’s your
loving and comforting demeanor that your friends know and they know that includes them too.
I’m really sorry about your friends dying. Really, really sad. You can mourn and grieve them and remember the time you had together and keep a piece of them in your heart. And as @SoberGuyUSA said keep yourself clean.
Big hugs lots of love to you during this hard time of sorrow and reflection. Here’s a candle for each of your friends. May they Rest In Peace and may their memory be a blessing.

Have as good a day as you all can friends. Sober and clean. Love.
Two more days of work. Followed by 17 days of holidays. Bring it on! Did a bit too much on my bike yesterday. Never felt so much lactate in my legs. Funny how while riding I did think of @GVLNative and wondering how he’s doing. And then I see him on here this early AM! Hope you’re good friend.

@CATMANCAM thank you for the explanation, now I understand the real meal issue better.
#Day 1660 
Last day of work before my mini holiday of 5 days. Going for a surprise weekend somewhere for 2 days with hubby and kids as a late birthday present. So I do not know where we are heading. Just that I need my passport, walking shoes and swimming clothes 
We are leaving friday.
Looking forward to it.
But first things first: working today 
Keep your cool and sober/clean time folks!
And here’s a big hug from me to you 
Why not!

Day 35,
Good morning. Woke up from a dream with a magnificent idea. I’m going to keep it to myself because it’s still in its infancy but what a good plan that marries my writing, teaching, and movement practices into one very marketable and in demand career opportunity. I’m taking this idea and I’m running with it—I was invited to teach a workshop this summer in the countryside of France and I think this will be the perfect testing ground!
Gonna get up and journal. My stomach is upset because I had too much hot sauce yesterday so gotta deal with that. I can’t say it was worth it but it was GOOD.
Lots of writing today, then gym. My month long fast continues—I stopped keeping track of the days, all I know is I stop fasting April 20th. My passport is expiring soon and I keep putting off renewing it.
Reading Pleasure Activism by adrienne maree brown and it’s rocking my world.
Happy sober Wednesday!

Day 37 AF
Have had a few difficulty days with temptation running through my thoughts.
Still going and tonight went out to dinner with friends and struggled at first seeing people ‘enjoy’ a drink but kept my thoughts in check and remained sober. Spent last wandering The City with my camera which was thoroughly enjoyable.

My 1st check in at 6,929 days af.
Had a wisdom tooth pulled last Friday, which went amazingly well, very little pain. I’m now paying for it. I’m in so much pain it’s stupid, it’s effected my sinus under the eye and the tooth next to the extraction site aches like the toothache from hell, the actual extraction site burns like I’m pouring battery acid on it. If I don’t keep on top of the pain meds I pay for it for at least 40 mins till they kick in again. The only problem is sleeping, the meds last about 4hrs so when they wear off the pains waking me up and I have to do the 40 min wait, banging my head on the pillow.
The dentist told me yesterday that if I’m still like this on Friday he’ll prescribed some antibiotics and different pain meds 
That’s enough self pity, I know it will get better, but, being an alcoholic I still want everything now, if not yesterday. So I’m just going to get on with my day and fight the good fight.
I hope you’re all having a good as possible clean and sober day

Quick check in, went to bed sober, woke up grateful for that. I’m almost finished listening to This Naked Mind, great book imo. Now instead of any potential romanticizing of a drink, I imagine pouring fuel from a gas pump into a glass (not in the book, just something that popped into my mind). Works wonders to clamp down on any counterproductive thoughts/images from wiggling their way in.

If we head to a beach, you are invited! Thank you for thinking of me. I have been pretty tired, adjusting to longer days and less sleep. This will be my first sober summer since 2018.
Today there is a tornado watch, supposed to be bad weather at 3, so I’ll be getting kids early from school.
I do have a lunch date with one of my customers turned friend. Hopefully the weather doesn’t turn too quickly.
I hope you are doing well. And thank you for being such an amazing, caring, thoughtful person!
