1079 days no alcohol.
544 days no cocaine.
59 days no vape.
1 day no binge-eating.
Woke up much later than usual, in a lot of pain, and very fatigued. Not sure why the fatigue, but the pain I guess was from the physio yesterday. It’s manageable now. Anyway, I forced myself to wake up enough to attend a Mindfulness course I was booked onto, did seriously consider sending an email with my apologies, but I’m glad I didn’t, for the most part, it was relaxing.
Then I meditated, did my morning routine, and some reading. Then went for my morning walk.
I did 25mins of colouring, only looked at the timer a few times towards the end. I listened to the audiobook at the same time.
Just did my evening walk, now I’m here catching up.
Tomorrow I have got nothing in my calendar apart from collecting my anti-biotics, so I plan to do some much needed cleaning at home.
My daughter and I are so different, but I catch a glimpse of a shared like every now and then and like to encourage her.
Massive well done for going on your course. I am so pleased you enjoyed it.
Edit to add, I have just realised that the reason I am so committed to the gym and exercise now is so we can share something, and I can be a good role model.
Today I didn’t fail but I learned from a mistake. I came home early because I was exhausted… Like really tired. I have to take sleeping be4 work and coffee intake very serious. I can’t come home early again… It caused a big fight because I needed to learn this lesson. Also I missed my fame by defeating my emotions till the end of my shift. I have the next two days off to rest enough and get back to it on Friday.
On a better note I’m 2 weeks sober and about to be 1 week no smoking or vaping. Maybe that had something to do with how I felt at work when I was so tired. I can’t do this again just got to keep the good stuff up
I was a little ‘naughty’ yesterday. I actually didn’t have work, (it was a day I usually do, but there is a ‘make-up’ day where you can schedule class if you had to cancel one during the semester) but I still put on work clothes, and went to a cafe in the station, and did grading and admin in peace and aircon with nice coffee for a couple of hours. Then in the afternoon I went for my first ever reflexology appointment. It was a little painful but I feel my legs were a little less swollen afterwards. I might start going every couple of months or so.
Delighted to make it to day 10 and had a great day
Got up this morning cleaned the house and brought my nephew to the play park for a while came home watched a bit if telly and went to soccer training this evening.
It has been over 12 years since I kicked a ball iam gone so unfit but still really enjoyed been back training again Thursday already looking forward to it.
A bit nervous about tomorrow as iam attending my first AA meeting have been going to NA so I’d imagine it can’t be to different
Heading to bed now and feeling great
Goodnight all hope you all had a great day

774 days alcohol free. Grateful for this community and these little dark chocolate covered coconut almond things l found in the pantry. Summer evenings can be so peaceful. I hope everyone has some serenity, wherever they find themselves.
Hey @Dazercat Eric! Way to go on 1300! You’re an inspiration, man!
Checking into this afternoon. Just finished work and my overall sense is peaceful and content. My home is clean and cool. My refrigerator is full of fresh food and I’m sober. I’m grateful for the peace I’m experiencing today.
Off to bed tonight. Work early, then my first therapy appointment in over a decade… Followed by a meeting with the store manager.
It’s a full day. I’m going to try not to stress too much.
Checking in sober after a shitty day. Those muscles in my ribs that I strained got worse and made me feel like I got punched. Sneezing, coughing, even breathing was painful. I iced and used a heating pad all day while hiding from the steamy heat outside. I am hoping for some better rest tonight and less pain tomorrow.

congrats on day 1
