Thank you all (@CATMANCAM , @JazzyS and @Rob11 ) for the supportive messages 
Much appreciated!
#Day 1719 
Had a lovely saturday with my family. As a late mothersday gift we went to my favorite place in another town to have an high tea.
The weather was great so we could be outside, so we did.
Today? Another high tea, but somewhere else, this time only with my daughter
Itās a total coincidence, but nevertheless a bit odd.
But, going to enjoy it anyway! I also have many weekends without such activaties.
Havenāt had cravings for a while now, thatās a good thing. Warm weather and terras time usualy gives me cravings.
Have a good sunday all

Girlā¦ 
You know my preference to Pandasā¦
I am so happy that you showed up yesterday and happy for this long sleep. Your body needed it, obviously!
Maybe we can both show up a little again today. I will wear a light shirt (lovely oat color) todayā¦ My preference is black, but I feel like putting myself more into the light by adding light colors!
Have a āshowing upā nice day!

It really isnāt easy, hard to know what is best. Football has done wonders for her confidence and I have seen her blossom, but I obviously donāt want her to be so stressed she is in tears. She is at the age now when a lot of girls drop out of sports. I think this will be a delicate wait and see approach.

Day 6 being clean from self-harm.
Drums are waiting for me today! Canāt wait. I absolutely enjoy playing on drums. 
I feel physically and mentally better. Somewhere inside of me again woke up little soldier, who isnāt giving up and still fighting for happiness.
I hope everyone are okay. If you need, you can personally write me and share your feelings and stories. Iām here for you all. 
Iām proud of you all, no matter if you just started to be sober or youāre already long time sober - Iām glad you all are alive.

Well you sound like a good mum, who is very aware. Sometimes you just need to find the right sport. Stuff thatās not team based and competitive. Cycling, swimming, going to the gym or running. In running clubs youāll find people of different ages so itās not all teenage angst and all that unpleasant nonsense. Youāll find your way. Or notā¦ such is the world. I think as a parent we all want to achieve so much for our kids, and itās hard to always see whatās right. We just do our best.

Good morning on day 246 
There is a lot to do for me today, a big box on my balcony I have to shred and throw in the container that is 10 minutes away. Iāll have to go several times 
Another laundry needs to be done, I want to cook and check my plants and the ants on my balcony.
Guess where Iām still at? In my bed 
I think Iām a sloth.

Thatās such good advice! I used to be seething with jealousy about other peopleās accomplishments. I could spend hours scrolling the facebook or other socials and wondering " what does this bitch have that I donāt? Why is she so fucking successful while Iām here downing my wine and living paycheck to paycheck?"
I remember resenting a friend for years because she kept a job I helped her get, while they sacked me. But in reality, it wasnāt her fault I was shit at the work and got absolutely wasted during my first (and only!) shift.
Most of the time I kept my feelings to myself but it was eating me up inside.
Nowā¦ I no longer do the social media, but I learned to be genuinely happy for other peopleās accomplishments. And when do chose to share them with me, I see it as a privilege to be able to share in their joy.
It took years of therapy, but like year or so ago, my best friend bought her first house while I was dealing with yet another one of my mental breakdowns. And when she told me, I put myself aside for a few minutes to share in her happiness and congratulate her.
Now that Iām sober, Iām nearly cured of jealousy. Iām content with where my life is going. Sure, I may not be as successful of financially stable as other people my age, but I still get to chose how (and where) I live my days.
Anyway, enough rambling.
Day 141.
Greetings from the magical sea view balcony.
These past few days have been exhausting. Most of June is looking pretty quiet, but this weekend I landed three big laborious projects. So aside from the dog walks and balcony coffee, Iām pretty much glued to my laptop making words come out of my brain.
So, of course my carpal tunnel flared up. And of course one editor is turning passive aggressive.
But fuck it, Iām here. Iām doing it. Iām not hangover. And the view is pretty stunning.

@soberwalker How lovely to have a late mothersday Saturday with you mom and a one on one with your daughter today.
@dmcg1987 Thatās rough my friend. Whatever you decide Iām glad you are looking out for your recovery first. You canāt be any good to anyone else if you are not the best you. Do check out this thread Are you affected by a loved one whoās an addict? . Also possibly attend some Al anon meetings if you two decide to stick together.
LOL ā not a sloth just taking it easy on a lovely Sunday. I do hope you get it all done without stress ā have a wonderful day!
@bomdhil Man I know itās a rough road but do love how determination! Never stop quitting on yourself. Just think, even with all the slips your will and determination has so many clean days. Just keep at it and eventually with godās will it will stick! We are all here for you my friend ā Yeah to day 3
LOL ā I love it ā half the time the words come out jumbled from mine so you are killing it already! Are you able to get the little roller pad to put under your wrists while you type (maybe a rolled up towel might help) so that you arenāt stressing your wrists as much? 
Checking in Sunday morning ā¦
I am able to start a little later today as I did get everything done last night (just need to make some sandwiches for our lunch)ā¦ I did not sleep much at all but feel like iāve got this. In the past I would add something to my coffee to get me the jolt for the day but today the coffee is all i need 
I know it will all go super well - will check in at the end of the day if I donāt pass out first from exhaustion 
sending much love my sober friends
