Checking in on Day 65.
I am thankful to be sober and to wake up to such a beautiful day.
Life is a rollercoaster but if you are sober when you ride it, you are less likely to throw up! Said, “me”

Don’t give up, keep going!!! If I catch myself feeling like that it’s usually because my brain has slipped into the future or the past. Stay present, keep going one day at a time, continue building your recovery toolbox.

Hey guys checking in. Off work the next 2 days, got in really late last night, we ran into all kind of problems fixing the power lines after a driver hit a utility pole and knocked out power in one of the neighborhoods. He was arrested on site for DUI and I just kinda felt bad for him, cause you really know what he’s dealing with in his personal life. But luckily he walked away from it and didn’t hurt anyone else.
.
I’m spending the next two days trying to open the pool after a long winter, that thing is green. 
.
And than I gotta try and get this yard mowed and situated, especially where the dogs made a dirt racetrack around the pool.
Seems like it never ends.
Have a great day guys. Stay safe.

Checking in overall pretty good.
Positives
*20 days no marijuana, saved over 250.00 so far!
*12 days of no contract with any exes. I’ve blocked them all!
*I’ve done at least 1 meeting/day for the last 2 weeks. Working on 30 in 30 with my temporary sponsor. I’ve also found a full time sponsor that i started working with last week.
*I am beginning to see a lot more of how my addiction has messed with my life and relationships.
*Today my son and i are going to an indoor water park overnight. After this trip, my next thing to add to my addiction list is Dunkin coffee and fast food in general. Coffee adds up!
Negatives
*Dealing with anxiety, but i think it’s due to needing a med adjustment. Going Monday for that.
*Probably going to need some car repairs…i have a love hate relationship with cars, lol.

I’m glad you have realized that your relationship with others can be trying, and a trigger for you.
Now you get to remind yourself every single day that the only thing you have control of is yourself, and how you react to situations. You have no control over anything those other people do or say. You can only control how you respond to them.
Hopefully keeping aware of this can help you move forward. 
Keep up the good work. It’s hard but it’s worth it.

Another beautiful day to live my life. For so many years I woke up (or never went to sleep) after my birthday and felt like crap. Emotionally and physically sick. I’ve had 6 sober birthdays now and they have almost all been awesome. (My first sober bday was a month into sobriety and the undiagnosed Bipolar was having an awesome time being free from alcohol.)
Recovery is possible. It’s hard work. It sucks sometimes. But it’s possible, and feels really good once you get a hang of it.

Hello friend!
Last year the weather here didn’t hit 60 Fahrenheit until almost July so I didn’t get a garden at all. Oh it was super frustrating! This year I decided to take no chances and we built a hoop house! I just finally got some seeds in, but we should have a great season this year.
Not sure which car
my wrangler I bought last year had so many problems that I eventually got fed up and traded it for a grand Cherokee. We traded in the Corvette for a shuttle bus and have been working on turning it into a camper so we can travel more. That’s been a fun project!
How are you doing?

Day 194 alcoholfree
Day 2 Social media free
The weather is better today so I did some biking. Not much but better than nothing.
I just came home from work, standing in the kitchen now having a big glass of water mith my daily supplements.
The bathroom is cold so I have to wait a little until I can have a shower. I’ll tidy up a bit here and there, do the dishes and listen to music while being active.
After that shower, then dinner and then? Don’t know yet.
The day was better than expected because I’m alone in our office. Means 1 has to do the job of 3…but only in the dreams of my boss haha. I do what I can, period.
Okay, put the cellphone down now Sabrina 
Have a beautiful sober day friends, stay strong

The app wouldn’t let me post this last night for some reason.
Day 12. Today was the first time I actually kinda craved a beer with dinner. My boyfriend drank one beer, which is normal for him. I knew I wasn’t going to give into the urge. I just kind of acknowledged it and got back to focus on the show we were watching. Maybe one day I’ll try some of the good NA beers they have now, but I worry it might be triggering. Hmmmm…

I can’t see the point in non-alcoholic beer ( most of them do actually have a small amount of alcohol anyway). The flavor of it might be a trigger for me, It may not be, but why even give it the opportunity to be a trigger? There are even certain Virgin mixed drinks that I can’t handle because they taste too similar to drinks that I would have had in a bar. We all have different triggers and limits though. I’d say it’s pretty early to be thinking about testing it though.

Thank you! That’s kind of what I was thinking. It’s nice to hear another opinion. I’m not gonna mess with it.
Kombucha is another tricky one…I love the stuff, but it’s got that tiny amount of alcohol.
@Sober_Ninja what is your go-to drink nowadays, if you don’t mind me asking?

I actually stick with tea and water mostly. Every once in awhile I will have a soda if we are out at a restaurant, but generally they are a little too sweet and sugary for me nowadays which is hilarious considering how much sugar I inhaled while I was drinking.
There used to be a thread called what are you sipping on today? That obviously people talked about what they were drinking. It looks like it’s been sitting unused for a couple of years now.

Day 89.
Ok, I’ll try making today’s update more coherent. This week I’ve really been pushing the whole getting more active thing. I’ve been walking loads (15.000 steps) and started meditating on the beach. And got a coworking space that’s a 30 minute walk away from where I’m staying, so I stick to the new regiment.
Yeah… work, walks, more work, more walks. Everything hurts and it’s starting to dawn on me how unfit I truly am.

Back home safe from yoga.
It was hard not to take the wrong exit.
But now I am home.
This day. Sober.
Much love
