Morning Check In
Day 441
Morning TS! Just heading to work now. Had some super strange dreams last night (thankfully it wasnt a using dream tho for a change). Grateful for another day to make a difference, to be of service, to have new opportunites for growth, and to experience new things. Today is going to be good. Already setting my mind to it 
Hope everyone else also has an amazingly super, addiction free day!

Checking in with one year! Get in!
I woke up after a very vivid dream that I had relapsed. I hardly drank that much but the results were catastrophic and I was being taken to hospital to detox. The phrase āI was in control of my drinking until I wasnāt ā was ringing in my ears as I woke. And I realised I could substitute the word ālifeā for ādrinkingā.
Iāve had some major shifts in my thinking this week. (I smudged all the rooms in my home for the first time just after my parents latest visit) I attended my second AlAnon meeting which is as close as Iāll get to an Adult Children of Alcoholics meeting in this area. That has been hugely illuminating so far.
Iāve just finished my scheduled Sunday phone call with my parents, and they never once asked how I was. My mum was wittering on about some blackbird hopping around their garden. I had wondered if theyād mention my new haircut, as Iāve updated my profile picture on messenger, but nothing. Oh well.
Other than that the day has been lovely. My daughter has a friend visiting and I suggested they make their own ice cream. The chose mint choc chip and looked up a recipe and went shopping for the ingredients. It was lovely watching them work together. 
ODAAT everybody!

Day 3 latenight checkin:
Back home safe and sober! 
Staying sober from:
- alcohol
- toxic relationships
- eating drama
I will focus my checkins on the later evening, as these are the hours of the day I am realy in dangerā¦
Had a good day at my family with barbecue and a lot of sun today. I picked up 2 plants that were in recovery at my mum. I like themā¦ I have 2 other small plants living in the little bathroom on the 1st floor where is a big window on top. Maybe I will add a few other small ones this week. Furthermore I am getting the herbs ready for this year (rosemary, thymian, mince, bazil). So I have something to take care ofā¦
Therapy plants 
ā¦ Will give an update soon!
Much loveā¦ And peaceā¦ And ease

993 days no alcohol.
458 days no cocaine.
80 days no vape.
Binged badly last night, sugary stuff too, so I slept alot and didnāt wake up properly until late this morning. Iāve still managed to do both walks, meditations, exchange some clothes, and some reading around on here.
Iāve noticed the lily pads appearing on the pond, along with some tall thin green stems growing in other parts, which I believe will become reeds. Iāve also noticed, on my other walk, that the daisies have climbed up from the soil and are close to blooming. Itās starting to get a bit warmer which gives me hope, I love sunshine and it makes me happy, Iām a summer baby through and through.
I hope youāve all had wonderful sober weekends.

Still here, and sober from alcohol. Struggling just a little, off and on with trying to find things to keep me occupied. Iām not having any cravings at all though. I just donāt know what to do with my time, lol. Cutting down on my smoking, Iām starting to lose my taste for that too and want to quit it all together soon. Cutting down on over-eating. Thatās never really a problem except for right after quitting booze, my appetite goes nuts.
Anyway, just came inside from laying out in the sun for half an hour. Feels fantastic. I wish I had a pool.

Iāve the years on TS. Iāve seen a lot of chronic relapsers turn into stable members on this forum. They never gave up and kept learning from each relapse. I believe youāll get there. I really do.
