49 days AF (almost 50!). So far Iā€™m keeping up with the recovery activities planned for each day this week despite some craziness with work. Iā€™m putting up more boundaries with coworkers and not feeling like I have to get back to everyone immediately or solve every problem (too much of my happiness was based on those around me being happy, or more precisely, being happy with me!). Since quitting alcohol I feel so much more in tune with my body and emotions. Now, spending time with these emotions can feel like touring a haunted house, but the negative feelings donā€™t last as long when I stop fighting them.

The headache is back so this is something Iā€™ll have to keep an eye on, it started during recovery. Wishing everyone a lovely Tuesday/Wednesday I love reading your updates :memo:

Day 2219
So grateful for my sobriety today. I was talking to a client about how if I hadnā€™t finally had enough six years ago that I would be dead by now. Tomorrow is my 39th birthday, and I would be dead.
Geesh, guys. I am so glad I decided life was worth living.

Checking in with 42 days AF. Nice day of golfing today, but generally feeling pretty low energy. I am giving up my slot in tomorrow morningā€™s spin class to my husband - he still works and I have all day to find other activity. But kinda bummed Iā€™m so nice :wink: l
Take care all!

Day 193 no alcohol
Day 0,5 no social media
No cellphone use yesterday in bed and I already fell asleep easier than I used to.
My first swipe after arriving at the train station on my phone was to the old place where TikTok or Instagram were.
I can feel it already that I miss it. I even checked on it at work in-between when I had a minute.
I know the first week is the hardest, Iā€™m going to rock this and hang here more often to read and write :muscle:
Itā€™s raining here and it seems this will stay this way the whole day. So no biking today :pensive: Although I used an umbrella my legs are wet and I couldnā€™t find my favorite neckcloth this morning :sob: Brrrrr
Okay, then letā€™s see what this day has got for me today :grin:
Have a beautiful sober day friends, stay strong :muscle::kissing_heart:

#Day 1667 :walking_woman:
Had a rough day yesterday, but I survived.
My co worker called in sick so it was just me in the shop and it was very busy with customers.
A couple made use from that situation to shoplift :face_with_symbols_over_mouth:
At one time she had 4 bottles of supplements in her hand and then she had not. I couldnā€™t do much. Had a shop full with people, have no camera, and I didnā€™t actually see her doing it. Collateral damage, but it makes me mad always.
Checked my stock and indeed missed 4 items from the closet she was standing for.
The good part of the day was that I earned a lot of money for my shop, it was such a good day financial wise :money_mouth_face::money_mouth_face::money_mouth_face:
Did my best not to get irritated by my co worker being sick again. She is always sick. She had multiple warning conversations, nothing helps.
But I didnā€™t let her ruin my mood.
Thatā€™s my mission for today as well. I have a nice co worker from another store to help me.
So today? Work and tonight a dinner because my youngest has his birthday today :confetti_ball:


Picture from our holiday cabin in the woods last weekend. Focus on the good instead of the bad :pray:
Have a good day all of you :raising_hand_woman:

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


Travelling tomorrow morning. Doing some house chores today. Donā€™t want to give the cat sitter a bad impression. Easy enough. Thereā€™s no bottles to hide anyway. Or holes burned in my furniture, or the stench of stale smoke. Never again. X
Pic is another one from my first USA trip, April 12 2017, Happy Valley, Oregon.
@SoberWalker Congrats on your youngestā€™s birthday.

Day 11. Back in December I drank on my 11th day because I found out I was getting laid off from my job. I didnā€™t have a support network, and wasnā€™t doing any work on myself. This time is different. Hitting the pillow sober, woot woot! :sleeping:
