Have as good a days as you can all. Sober and clean. Love.
Managed to sleep in on what could be the hottest day of the year. Not biking to work today. Spare a thought to my nephew who has to row two races in this +30C weather. Iāll be fine. My work place has an OK climate control. Stay cool my friends. X
@Scorpn glad you posted here friend. Really rooting for you to get some sleep tonight. Relaxing vibes your way

Day 267
Good morning from boiling hot Germany 
Iām still laying in bed reading and writing.
I wrote Nik my thoughts and that heās emotionally not ready for anything more than a friendship. Weāll see how he reacts. This was on my mind for days and thatās the reason why I was so silent.
When I meet people Iām always 100% in. I trust very fast and I love to talk to them regularly. I just love good communication. My father told me not to do that, itās wrong because ppl are bad and always want the worst. Some do, yes. But the most donāt.
And, although this last connection I had went the unlucky way it did, doesnāt mean the next one will be the same.
So itās wrong to curl up like a snail in its tiny house.
Life goes on.
Still sober despite the dark feelings I had. Drinking wonāt help, it makes things worse.
Okay, time to get up and do something nice. Like eating leftover pancakes from yesterday 
And having a good cup of coffee 
Have a beautiful sober day friends, stay strong

Hi folks, I wonāt post much today, just checking in 
Sending good vibes, positivity, love and strength your way to keep going in the direction of your dream!
And I might fast and meditate a little longer tonight to help try to manifest the same for myselfā¦
My trauma induced dependencies are obsolete, and I understand, accept and forgive them as a part of my past and life. I didnāt know any better, but now I do. And I can feel my growth through effort and timeā¦
āWhat doesnāt kill you, makes you strongerā. I can learn from my past failures. Learn to embrace life in itās entirety, with itās journey of ups and downs. āThe journey is the destinationā. Can I muster enough effort and time to steer it from here on? I know I can! Nothing is āimpossibleā in an already seemingly impossible existenceā¦ āLife is like sailing: you canāt control the direction of the wind, but you can adjust your sails to always reach your destinationā. An overload of wise sayings but such truth!
I am grateful to exist.
I need to focus on my sobriety one day at a time again. Things to work on are: early trigger avoidance, distraction/exit tactics during cravings, healthier everyday habits & routines, and mindful positivity affirmationsā¦
Well Iāve posted much more than planned anyways
Iām glad youāre here, whoever might be reading thisā¦ No one is alone. Communities like these restore faith in humanity if there is such a thing haha
Have a good night folks (or day depending on where you are).
I intend to try to make the most of tomorrow!

It been a while Iāve checked in on here. I had a few months of sobriety on the books this winter, but the last few weeks old habits started to creep back in again. From now on I will be checking in again regularly, Iām on holiday this week and I really donāt want to waste the entire week being hung over at home. In fact I donāt want to spend the rest of my life walking around with a fucking hangover. Iām going to use my time these holidays to read through my (with quitting drinking related) books again.
Iāve been on a weight loss journey, and I was doing fine so far (7KG in 3 months), but the last weeks Iāve been self sabotaging everything with my drinking againā¦ 
Another thing I need to address is me ED (binging / bulimia) which Iāve been suffering from for 25 years. Iām determined to make some changes in my life, because going on like this is not an option.
On July 1st I will be doing the workout challenge again, itās only a few minutes a day, but thatās something that keeps me motivated. 
Anyway, apologies for the bla bla, rant is over - checking in on day 1!

Happy youāre back Jenny. Please never apologize for posting here. We need each other. Changing some stuff in your life seems like a good plan to me. Nothing changes when nothing changes. Upward and onward friend!

Day 1 For me Today
23 Likes
Thank You. I think Youāre right here. As I remember when I was giving more energy towards my sobriety, working more on it - it gave back. Every time I skipped a meeting, or did not paid too much attention on Checking-in here /// was tired /// bored /// too much optimistic // or else - I slipped. I guess that is the main point here, to work on it, work on steps, work with others. As my old friend from AA said me years ago āā[look how much energy you spend on planning on how you will use; how you plan your time for using, finding holes to fill to get what you want - use the same effort on sobriety - yet - you say - you tired - you have no time for meeting - you this - you that - but when it comes time to use - you find your time - you find the energy - you fill all the holesā¦]āā
Have a blessed Sunday!

1 day being in little house far away from my home town.
Hey, Iām back to daily check. I honestly missed it, because writting here is as writting to the diary. Just here I have people who can tell me and help me, while just simple diary can listen to me.
Also yeah, youāre right reading. Iām right now not in Prague, but near to MladĆ” Boleslav. Traveling here with train was really fun. I enjoyed it. I love a lot trains.
Iām right now in this house and I think of that I will clean it. Last time there was sister of my 7lt who had party with her friends and itāsā¦ Pretty a bit messy. Also I need to buy some food for next four days which I will be here because oh man! Iām so hungry. I didnāt eat properly full meals for 5 days.
Basically, some home stuff I need to do today.
Otherwise itās really here beautiful. Nature makes me a lot smile and itās here quiet. Sometimes I hear trains. Itās a lot fine here. I will tommorow go on walk here. Today I would be more likely to chill after doing home stuff.
So yeah. Thatās it. I can feel that I decided right for driving away to this place. I think it will help to me with my mental health a bit.

Patience for Others
Instead of honking your horn at the car in front of you; take a deep, deep breath and exhale. Practice patience.

I can understand the struggle with not being as present on TS and not having the time to devote to all that goes on here. Please note that in no way should you feel bad about not catching up with the threads/ postings or replying to anyone - no obligations what so ever. We know how much you care!! Some days are more hectic than others and sometimes those days are months.
That being said ā if being connected here helps keep you stay sober and keeps that sneaky addiction away then you should find a way to at least check in and view one or two threads to keep you active (the site can be so overwhelming at times). Start small and hopefully that will help ā Super proud of you and of each of us!

@catmancam so proud of you for challenging yourself and going to the event solo. So sorry that it turned out the way it did and gave you an unsafe feeling. Sounds like a productive day all around. Hope today you are able to get the questionnaire completed so that itās not weighing on your mind all day.
@scropn Iām sorry that you were still struggling with sleep ā I do hope that the sleep fairy did bless you with some shut eye last night. I think all that adrenaline and coffee you had to keep yourself awake during work shifts yesterday needed time to work through your system. Wishing you a relaxed and calm Sunday
@sabrina80 WOW ā writing it out and sending it is a huge step. I do agree that we canāt hide ourselves and not be open and bubbly just because we were hurt in the past. Our heart muscle is super strong and resilient ā we need to live life to the fullest and I do hope that means opening up ourselves to the endless possibilities. Iām sorry about the dark feelings ā you are a very positive person and I hope you can tap into that. Enjoy those yummy pancakes and coffee :yum
@jesile welcome back Jenny! Wishing you the best of luck with getting back on the sobriety track and addressing your ED ā this canāt be easy but we are all here for you. Hope to see you checking in more frequently. I do hope you enjoy your vacation and home from it a new person
@nastya_is_fighting so happy that you are able to get away to Mlada Boleslav ā I do hope that you are able to fully relax and get in touch with nature. So great for your mental health!
@soberbilly HAPPY 14th month ā Love how you are growing with your practice ā Sobriety looks good on you friend.
@pm256023 Welcome to the site Peter and congrats on your day 1. Hope to see you around ā this is an amazing community that you have joined. Full of love, support and great advice ā read around and soak it all in.
Checking in on Sunday Morning
So much love everywhere if we just look (I am focusing on this more and more these days rather than seeing all the hate all around). We do need both to balance the universe (I guess I understand this concept but not able to embrace it).
It is a beautiful day even though the sun is playing hide and seek today ā I am hoping to get out to the patio to enjoy it today. Surprisingly I do not have any tingling today (body is tingle free) 
I am enjoying my hot cup of coffee and will do a little meditating / praying shortly. Hope everyone has a wonderful sober Sunday!! Sending much loveā¦
