An impression from London Pride
:heart::orange_heart::yellow_heart::green_heart::blue_heart::purple_heart:


I made my way to the hotel, the alcohol is flowing heavy on the streets now.
Sober head and achy feet in bed.

Checking in sober.

Bad storms right now but Iā€™m safe inside on my couch with the cats. Iā€™m glad they arenā€™t really bothered by the thunder. Itā€™s been a lazy day. Iā€™m trying not to beat myself up for not getting more done. I did get a walk in early this morning before it got too hot.

Thanks for taking the time to reply (to me and everybody else! :heart_eyes:). I just got home, and for the moment Moka he seems to be acting quite normal again. I was really worried all day long. Weā€™ll see, I live on my own, and my two cats are special to me, specially Moka! Heā€™s so funny and the sweetest thing!

Day 55. I am on a work holiday surrounded by alcohol and alcohol drinkers. The easiest thing to do would be to drink. Iā€™ve had a couple of no alcohol beers. I am coping just fine. Back at the room with my water, doritos and dip.

25 days AF. Feeling stronger every day. Met my sponsor for step work and then we went to a meeting that was so great. It was packed and rain was pounding outside. Lots of great shares on the topic of the promises. Then my mother in law came over and hung out for a while. She is doing much better. Then I went for a walk which I needed because I hadnā€™t had physical activity for a couple days. Now my body is telling me to rest so thatā€™s what im doing. I think the anxiety medication is helping so much. Hard to tell with the mood stabilizer but I have some time to see. Doing new stretches for my hip/back too.

Im really inspired by my sponsor and I love hearing her story. She has a sweet cat named Lex who curls up in a basket on the kitchen table when we do our work. The more people I meet the less isolated and broken I feel. Wishing everyone a good sober weekend :potted_plant::relieved::purple_heart:

Just to say, with respect, it is not an ā€œunexpected twistā€. A casual attitude to alcohol, not working on a program (be it AA, Dharma, one of your own creation) and this is very much an expected consequence. Start doing something regularly towards your sobriety.

Just checking in on day three. Iā€™m only a couple hours away from my three day ā€œchipā€ . Today was a lil easier. I got to hang with family and watch a WWE PayPerView. I cooked them breakfast this morning( tacos of scrambled eggs and chorizo) and pork chops, rice and gravy for dinner. It was so nice just to sit forget about the world and yell at the TV all together instead of at each other. Each day is getting easier. I got a message from my old dealer this morning and instead of placing an order o told him I was done and deleted his number which was a very big step for me
