Days PMO free: Day 19
Days with PS5 in the closet to close the day: 27
Days went to bed the same time with my wife: 27
Good morning everyone. Wife made it in late last night so me and the boys just kicked it in the big bed, she got home after 2, i was wide awake like a concerned parent. But i’m more happy that she had a blast. It makes me happy when she can just get out with her girlfriends and have a night out. I just have to make sure i dont let my guard down and keep my mildfulness up. It was about adding an evening check-in and recovery podcast. I also need to remember the value of my plan - going over it every single day. If i want to distance myself from my DOC, i have to daily do the work, talk about it, and meditate so i can keep my mind together. Appreciate everyone who’s had a listening ear to my journey up till this point!
Have a great morning/afternoon/evening all!

Day 3
I have to put my 2 weeks in today.
Im unhappy at this job, its a high risk ill get covid in the fall or winter if i stay, and there are some real assholes in management that consistently elevate my stress.
Nonetheless it has its perks, I like the routine and some of the work, i like a lot of the people ive met, and there is. So. Much. Free. Food.
But ive been in a shit pattern with sobriety of drinking every friday and saturday, and i need change. I need to quit while im ahead. There are other options.

I’ve thought about it, trust me, but I’m worried they’ll know it was me (there’s a lot of people involved). I already had a run in with them last year, over something totally unrelated, and was paranoid of backlash for months.
I do have blackout curtains. It’s those damn blinding LED headlights! And have always worn earplugs, bc of exes who snored. It’s mostly my brain running in circles about it I guess. Thank you tho 
It’ll end eventually. It’s happened before.

Day 58. Feeling a little irritated today. I had a psychiatrist appointment yesterday that got canceled last minute. I rely on my medications for a lot at this point in my life, so I have to figure that out, but I know I will. One of my Ex’s friends tried reaching out to me yesterday as well so I have some lingering anxiety about that.
But as always, glad to be sober. Hope you all have a good day

Well good morning sober fam. Today is 90 days, three months woohoo. Ugh yesterday was a long day, me and the girls were doing good, addie was riding her scooter and autumn was with some friends and went down to there campsite for a minute. Well addie saw and wanted to go too, but the girls were already too far so i said no addie you need to stay up here for now and when they come back you can go down with them. Well she didn’t like that and started stomping her feet in the middle of the street and throwing a fit and screaming and saying well I’m going anyways and started to walk away. So I picked her up and started carrying her to the camper so she could sit inside for a minute in quiet time. Well she blew up and started kicking and screaming and I’m talking like make your ear drums pop scream. In front of everybody in the middle of the road. Then she started saying stop it your hurting me and everyone was looking, i put her down bc I didn’t know if i possibly could be hurting her the way i was holding her. I put her down and she took of running the other way and ran down to their camp site. I didn’t know what to do so i just followed. I felt embarrassed and like a terrible father. I was also so upset because it wasn’t ok for her to do that. I told her it wasn’t acceptable but I didn’t punish her for it either. Idk it was just rough. But we got through it and they played and had a good night, i came into town today and definitely have to do that tattoo today so i’m working on printing that out. Idk i hope you all have awesome days and congrats to everyone on staying sober and working through it. Much love everyone

Morning check in
Day 555
Really loving this number today! Im feeling grateful and positive this morning. Decided to sleep in today bcuz Tue is an optional exercise day for me. Just needed the extra hour of sleep. Instead I did my morning routine and then got right onto cleaning/dishes. Made some phone calls. Thats about it so far. Feeling pretty good about things and grateful to be where i am today. My health has been improving alot since i stopped binge eating 12 days ago. Even tho i still have the urge to binge almost daily, i am learning/using new skills thru my DBT program to help battle that. Its working. Ive begun to lose weight and i feel so much better overall. Hope everyone has a fantastic day!

I can totally relate my friend- don’t lose hope or momentum on what you are able to do. You also have to remember that lately you have added more to your plate which you are doing so well in (socializing, more medical appointments…etc). I do hope all goes well with your Cardiac appointment today and also that you are able to get back into your other activities. 
@louloubelle that is fantastic news! What a liberating feeling. So happy for you.
@just_laura That sounds like an awful living situation – I’m sorry for all the disturbance. We had a few months where the tenant’s above our restaurant were running a crack house – they had some serious looking bouncers outside too. It was not the best work environment and luckily they burned down the place without anyone getting hurt or causing damage to the restaurant so not there anymore. I agree with Brian that maybe a anonymous phone call would help – I definitely would not do any face to face confrontations. Damn – I can see the anxiety of backlash. I’m sorry love – I am hoping that your neighbor moves very soon.
@dustysprungfield public speaking can be a dread for most. I am grateful that it all went well. Wishing you luck with practicing mindfulness and not letting your brain go into a anxiety spiral in preparations for speaking in front of groups. You rock it when you get going so remind yourself of that. Let the confidence shine.
@flourishingperson1 You are doing great on day 5 – don’t lose hope or get discouraged. Shakiness is normal and will not last. You can and will overcome this symptom and keep tacking on them days! Remember – you have already gone through day 1 through 4 – it only gets easier from here
@bomdhil I do hope the journalling helped today. I am staying connected to the site today Thomas – I know you are not doing well and please do reach out when you feel ready. I do hope your day has started to get better.
@sabrina80 grateful that you are now back to normal – so sorry that you went through such crazy feverish symptoms. Sending you much healing my friend. Hope you get well soon
@lorelai Great numbers! Happy early birthday! How will you celebrate? Love sober celebrations
@minatasha well done on realizing that the job environment was toxic and providing a unhealthy environment – I know change can’t always be easy but its always great when you do it for the benefit of your mental / physical and emotional health. Wishing you great success. Congrats on day 3
@billy85 Hope you had a good time (some pics did not come through)… what did you do to your wrist? Great to see you Billy – well done on 198 days – 200 day milestone just around the corner
