Day 60 !!
Day 76. Nightmares last night, probably the after effects of my strange neighbours behaviour or maybe thats ok, just my body processing things
One day at work and then off for two weeks. What i do like tho, is i have a good job which i enjoy and I have a good partner now who looks out for me
Today i will not drink
Day 237.
Yesterday was a fucking nightmare and I was too tired by the end of it to even check-in.
Soā¦ what Iāve been trying to do for the past 2 years now was get my marriage recognised in my godforsaken country. We got married in the Uk. It shouldnāt be that fucking complicated. But the government and its public servants (a job where having a God complex is an requirement) like to make it as difficult as possible.
And trust me, I jumped through a stupid amount of hoops. I read the legal requirements enough times that I can cite them. I even spoke to lawyers who knew less about the process than me. I spent more money than I care to count. Itās been a shitshow.
But yesterday! Yesterday was the day when I had everything ready and we were good to go. So we go to my countryās Registry Office with everything.
And guess what?
Computer. Says. No.
Another hoop to jump. More money spent. A whole day wasted of me trying to get that new thing sorted. Hell, I even had to call my mom to come sign something for me. The public servant dude who āservedā me even had the gall to tell me off for not bringing my mom there in the first place. And he even found a reason to fine me. Yes, fine me.
How the fuck was I supposed to know they needed that extra step??? Itās not on their website. They donāt reply to emails. And when I called, I asked over 20 questions and they still neglected to tell me that one piece of information.
This sucks.
But did I drink? No.

Vacation day 2. Not quite rested yet but working on it. Have as good a day as you all can friends. Sober and clean. Love from Oude Kerk, great place to find some peace and quiet, and some coolness during a September heatwave.
70 days.
10 weeks!
I have happy 3h free from kids so what Iām doing? Watching fotos of them on my phone
Captains log.
Few weeks later.
Still sober while writing this, but I will not last longā¦
After last crash on the dunes I managed to repair my ship, yet I failed to re-connect. Two weeks past the crash and I am still failing to find a power source. All the time I was feeling disconnected and loosing energy every day. Reached critical levels now.
To everyone who is reading: āWe cannot make it on our own technology. We need power greater than ourselves! This is very hard to find. Only one alternative to this power source that seems similar to what I have found yet is those AA Batteries. It works wonders if charged constantly.ā
This is captain Z, end of the log/ā¦
Thatās a self-fulfilling prophecy. And to change your own narrative, you know what to do too. Itās you at the wheel. You choose your course. All success.
Checking in for day 10. Sometimes the days just fly by.
Hey all, checking in on day 1181. I hope everybody has a good one!
Checking in on day 46.
Checking in day 369! Up, having coffee, and watching a show. Only have one client to see today. I have a job interview later. Iām pretty nervous for it, but itās nice to be in a position where Iām interviewing for a job I want, not one I need. Iām relatively happy where I am but the hours are all over the place, and Iām craving routine. I canāt help but to feel a little under qualified, but will go in and do my best. After thatās done, the weekend is here
Hope everyone has a fantastic sober Friday
Day 107. Good morning fam, well i finished one of my essays last night. I just have no idea if is correct, and what sucks is there are no teachers or tutors available to grade and help me fix it. But anyways today has been good, i am up early and looking forward to the day. Not sure what Iām going to do. Part of me wants to start my other essay lol but i also could use a break and some free time. I do not really have much more to say i guess. So much love ttyl
Day 28*
Saw a horrific accident on the way to my new psych yesterday. Motorcyclist and car passenger both passed on scene. It all happened so fast and I was so shaken up the highway was blocked so I didnāt make it to my appointment. Iām so grateful to be sober and aware and alert these days. It is nice to be a coherent person able to respond with clarity. Going to see John Stewart, Jon Melaney, and Pete Davidson tonight. I could definitely use some humor.
Wow that sounds like a living nightmare, Plus the fact you got fined, well done for getting through that and not touching a drop of alcohol
I appreciate reading your back to school journey so much. My partner is going back to school next week and I donāt think I have ever seen him so nervous. He is super smart but struggles a bit with reading comprehension. He had some terrible high school teachers that really impacted his confidence with learning. Anyway, I hope youāre feeling incredibly proud of yourself for what youāre doing
Checking in on day 58. Happy Friday to allš
Day 12 quick check in today as itās so warm Iām wiped out by it, itās an afternoon lying in front of the fan trying to stay cool, hope everyone has a great day/night
Thank You. That was very good message delivered indeed. I still failed but that motivates me a lot not to sink deeeper. You realy helped me a lot in the past. I need to give you a lot of credit. You are one of those persons who keeps me here thats for sure. After last reset I need to admit that being more accountable here makes a big difference / so I will come back to checking in more frequently. Thank You, my Friend.
