That suuuuucks @FeelingBetter! But every sober day is a victory, so good on you for making it through the BS without alcohol.
Day 35. Slept poorly and it was raining all day, so that was my excuse for not exercising. At least I ate healthy. Definitely had some hormone-induced crying for no good reason. It is what it is.
Checking in sober hope everyone is well

Have as good a day as you all can friends. Sober and clean. Love.
Had a good talking therapy session yesterday. Just talking doesnāt solve it all but it can be very enlightening with the right person. She is a fine therapist with who I have a good connection which is all in therapy. And Utrecht, where sheās based, is a lovely town. Back there later today for work. X
It is a satisfaction share with you my eighth month of sobriety.
It is indeed a new life, a new way to deal with other and to be other and better person.
I pray to continue to be sober and encourage all of you of renounce absolutely to the booze.
We can do this, happy 24 hours!
Excellent work friend! Big congrats & keep going!
Brilliant stuff!
Day
I think We just divorced with my Girlfriendā¦
Accept - is first what I do.
Accept because I live by fundamental rules of life.
I am believer, and told before - I no longer look at Life the same.
I seek light.
āāAnd may you have the power to understand, as all Godās people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is.āā
No longer I percept the situation from only my perspective of view.
I go deep into undergrounds of morals.
Deep into underwaters of our emotions and waves of patterns.
Tear off from my limited views and soar high with the stars.
They know. The Cosmic rules. They never lie.
We need to open Wide
See Farā¦ More far than Eyes can See.
Seek Highā¦
And dig Deepā¦
To fully feel the Light!
All darkness fades far far away.
All what superficial drown deep into darkness of underwatersā¦
All what is temporary becomes dust in undergrounds.
And the Love and Light always Fly above everything.
It is actually the very important Moon Eclipse. For certain individuals. Pluto plays big role now and it is very important planet in my life.
To be honest, divorcing on days like this, makes big shifts. Bigger than I can understand at the moment.
But I am open to accept it.
8 day AF with so much gratitude to go to bed sober and wake up sober.
This weekend is my mother in lawās 80th birthday and thereās a bunch of family in town. There was a dinner last night and a party this afternoon. This is the first time Iām around people drinking and alcohol since trying to get sober. I havenāt been tempted to drink but itās been totally exhausting. I canāt believe how much focus there is in alcohol at these type of things. āWhat are you drinking? Do we have enough beer for tomorrow? Look how old this bourbon is!ā And the SMELL omgā¦ the smell of alcohol hangs in the air. It saps me of energy plus the draining aspect of meeting new people. And my routine is thrown off and thatās just the way it has to be.
Just checking in here to fortify myself for another event. Itās not really fun at all so I look forward to the eventual day when these types of things wonāt sap so much energy. Had a meeting yesterday afternoon and will go to one tomorrow. I hate alcohol so much and it sucks that it has to be a part of these events.
I found this to be very true. Itās okay to just not know, or just not understand.
@FeelingBetter ong Jean - i am so sorry that you are dealing withvallbofvtgat but oh so happy tobhearcthat you are doing it sober. We will have many messes in our lives and the key is always goung to be how we deal with them- turning to our DOC is never the right solution. You are amazing my friend- hope they fix the leak today.
@GenG i totally get crying for no reason. Been doing that a lot for the past 2 yearsā¦sometimes our body just needs to release EVERYTHING. Hope you felt great after the cry. Have a great weekend
@Mno thank you do much for posting the beautiful pics with your check-ins. Absolutely lovely- have a wonderful sober day
@EFountains a huge congrats on 8 months
@zzz sorry about your break-up. You have such an amazing outlook. I do belive that the planets have a major role in our emotions which lead to our actions im just not that in tune with how all of that works. I often think if i could study the movement of planets i may be better equipped to handle my emotional shifts Hope your heart heals quickly
Day 217
My day started with me kneeling halfway in my fridge. I found a bell pepper that kinda got liquified and a lemon that used to be yellow and turned fluffy green. It was everywhere.
In the past this wouldāve been a good reason to go buy some alcohol.
Now all is nice and clean and Iām on the way to the grocery store. Today I take the longer route to the city center because the weather is so nice.
Laundry is getting clean already too, the apartment was done yesterday.
Now: me-time
Have a beautiful sober day friends, stay strong
