Having a great time this week sober camping (well glamping)! Our fam and another got a couple lil cabins next to each other near the beach. I was kinda nervous being locked in for a few days having to chit chat and all, but I’ve been hitting it off w the husband. Theyre like nice, normal people and im pretty glad im not scaring them away with incessant drinking or anything. In fact it turns out he’s a member at a gun club I’ve been hoping to join, but need a sponsor for membership . Overall its a few days of burning things, eating and beach/arcades.
Just another example that there’s life after sobriety… and its pretty nice
Congrats on your days Billy! I was rather impressed with this book when I read it in the 70’s. Seventy years old since it was written and still factual and actual…
I’m here, I’m alive and I’m sober.
Day 8
Didn’t had the time to check in this morning because my brother and his kids came over for a visit,they just went back home. We’re going to see them again tomorrow for our Yes-day.
The kids didn’t want to go home, so we promised them to come and visit and take them to an adventure tomorrow
Our big 13 y/o kept calling his youngest cousin Mini cousin, she responded with “I’m not a Mini cousin, I’m a big girl, you can be a minisin”
And all day she called him Minisin whenever she wanted him something, it was time for food or fika.
My brother who is a professional chef was horrified by my way to make a pasta Bolognese. (All dried spices, ground chicken, Worcestershire sauce,tomatoes and vegan parmesan on top)
So I had a really good laugh when his kids wanted to taste try three times, proceed to eat two portions each for dinner and then happily proclamed “This is good, better than yours Dad”
Day 57 well went and got my classes picked out and registered. Ran into a little trouble but pretty easy to take care of I think. Finally got ahold of DSS and they sent me the paper work I need to sign, so hopefully moving in on the 1st. So overwhelmed feeling a little bit but I’ll make it happen
Same. And that’s enough. I’m trying to focus on any progress, no matter how small. I’m feeling extra rough today having woken up with a migraine. Getting through work by doing the absolute minimum.
Nearly at day 55…
Sometimes I wonder “how the heck did I always have time to drink”… and just blown away by the fact that after 4 or 5pm would be write off time. No leaving the house after that time because I’d be drinking.
Seems a lifetime ago I was reliant on the booze.
Happy days.
@anon53116147 that does suck, do you have anything in writing confirming that they are going to be paying? You could ahow this to mhab if so, maybe make a call to DSS to request they confirm with mhab tomorrow. I hope it all works out for you just seen your today post, sounds hopeful @2JTravNZ thank you! That actually sounds like a very good method, will try it next time @RosaCanDo bless you, dealing with all that pain and I still get heartache over my cat that passed in 2018, I dont think it ever goes away, because grief is our love that has nowhere to go glad you let your tears fall.

1074 days no alcohol.
539 days no cocaine.
54 days no vape.
2 days no binge-eating.
The diabetes nurse phoned me yesterday and advised me to half my medication, because my HbA1c result was so good, so I only took one of the tablets last night instead of two, but I slept for 12hrs! That never happens unless I’ve binged on sugary foods, which I hadn’t, so I hope it will just be a case of adjusting for a few days.
Today has been an okay day. I had a nice video chat this morning with my dad. Did my usual routine things, meditations, both walks, my colouring for 12 mins in the lounge, a mindfulness course, listening to some of the audiobook, and I’ve even just managed to shower. I wish doing all these things gave me some happy hormones and chemicals, but sadly not.
Tomorrow the only thing in my calendar is to drive to my hometown to collect meds. So I think I will add in some reading to my day. Im already looking forward to the drumming workshop again on Saturday morning.
Me too,every day. Thing is,no matter how hard things have been or will be, I’m always glad that I’m alive
I’m glad that we are all, and that we are all right here.
. Overall its a few days of burning things, eating and beach/arcades.
