224 days.

Booze - no problem. Sugar (on holiday) definitely a problem. I canā€™t resist it. But trying to maintain a sense of humour about it. :joy::slightly_smiling_face::grimacing:

Have as good a day as you all can friends. Sober and clean. Love.


Sweltering sunset last night at work. Mosquitos got me bad, Iā€™m since trying to keep myself from scratching like mad. Well. If thatā€™s my number one problem Iā€™m doing pretty good. I have the Monday off. The big heat is gone for now so will air my place well today. Will cook something nice for myself. Will remain sober and clean. Just for today. Like I expect from all of you my friends. X
@SoberMedic 30 days already! Big congrats!
@Fury Three years Chris! Excellent work. Thatā€™s an interesting way of bringing in work. You just do your thing. Been working pretty well for you in the last three years right? Congrats friend.

Second day being in little house.

What a beautiful morning. I can hear birds singing. Also mosquitos already bit my back and it itches a bit. :sob:
Iā€™m planning to make a soup for today and try to work on my books concepts. Also I will go outside to the forest. Then I will chill and relax.
My boyfriend also texted me that this day is one month already how we are together dating. It made me smile, that he remembers about it. :two_hearts: Itā€™s sweet of him.

I hope everyone are okay. Have a nice day, if something, Iā€™m here for you. :hugs:

20 days AF. Thanks so much to those who reached out about the storm situation. We made it through and didnā€™t even lose power and Iā€™m so grateful for that. The weather was wild - thunderstorm, sunshine, storm, sunshine, tornado warning, golf sized hail, :warning::warning:. On top of that we were arguing about something related to my wifeā€™s family situation again and itā€™s just so frustrating. I feel like we argue all the time now. I know a lot of my struggles are ego-driven (trying to control things I have no control over) but I also get tired of her being so defensive and not getting help for her own issues. Like Iā€™m doing all these things to try to heal and be better and sheā€™s stuck in her same patterns and wonā€™t do anything no matter how much I ask. This is very troubling to me.

Iā€™m exhausted today from 12 hours of anxiety and arguing yesterday. I also donā€™t think the medicine is helping after all and will have to wait three weeks to see the doctor again. Iā€™m anxious because I feel unstable and HALT and all that. Iā€™m supposed to work on a big work project today but idk how I will concentrate. Iā€™m so tired!!!

Day 33. Hmm not sure what to say today, did that tattoo last night . It was small, and really I didnā€™t enjoy it. I over slept this morning but still managed to make it to group, Iā€™ll be doing squats at the gym today so that will be fun. I was supposed to take my placement test for school Saturday and I never did that. Yah not sure what else to say. I feel pretty content and proud still, no negative feelings right now which is goodā€¦ @Fury well Iā€™m glad you handled that situation very well, def wakes us up and helps us see what weā€™re not missing sometimes. Glad thats over with

@timetochange The weekends are super rough. Glad you are working on your sobriety. Do you have a plan of how to maintain sobriety (meetings, sponsor, changing friend groups, changing habitsā€¦etc). Set out a plan for yourself. Wishing you the best on your sober journey ā€“ I do find that being super active here really helps keep me on the addiction free path
@nastya_is_fighting congrats on your 1 month anniversary ā€“ you are right ā€“ that was super sweet of your boyfriend to send you a reminder.
@catmama23 so glad that you were not harmed by the storm. I can understand your exhaustion ā€“ are you able to find time to rest and then attack the project? Possibly taking a Ā½ hour nap might help if that is doable? Are you able to email / call your doctor and let them know about the meds ā€“ possibly they can change something over the phone rather than you waiting it out for 3 weeks?

Checking in on Monday morning
What a lovely start to the week. At the end of the week I will have my favorite cousin from Exeter England and her youngest come by for a 3 week visit. I am looking forward to this and hoping that I am well enough to enjoy their time here. We are experiencing some power outages in the area today after the storms last night. Might have to deal with my brotherā€™s gf today since she is out of power. Iā€™m going to breathe and take things as they comeā€¦ it will be a beautiful positive day ā€“ sending everyone much love. :heart: :heart:

Day 268

I forgot my phone at home this morning because I was in a hurry. On my way to work it was boring, I missed scrolling.
I realized that most of the people in the train looked like Zombies with their eyes glued to the screen. Mobile Zombies.
Some are even looking at their phone while walking on the street, for real I donā€™t know how that works :joy:
The day was good, lots of work now with one colleague less.
I had a bad craving for cake. Guessā€¦:roll_eyes:
Of course Iā€™m so full now that I wonā€™t cook anything healthy any more. Tomorrow there will be lots of greens and fish on my plate :blush:
I hope you have a beautiful sober day friends, stay strong :muscle::kissing_heart:

Humility in place of Stubbornness

Instead of arguing about how youā€™re right (even when you know youā€™re wrong), practice humility by apologizing for your wrongs. It can feel like a defeat, but afterward, you will feel good about yourself and how you treat others.

Well I guess this one is the hard one for me :sweat_smile: need to put a bit of work on that attitude of mine :sweat_smile:

Good evening. Iā€™m here to check in on day 50. Iā€™ve made it this far. My record is sixty odd days. Right now Iā€™m feeling like Iā€™m going to smash it.
