Seems like you are doing all the right things - i do hope the family / in laws aren’t too much of a temptation. We are right here if you do feel the urges getting stronger!
It is One Day At A Time and we are stronger together.

Day 95. The morning anxiety while I was getting the kids out to school this morning was quite high, but as soon as I was alone I went back to bed with a pack of ice in my hands and just lay there. Eventually I felt up to doing a twenty minute breathing exercise and then I booked myself into the lunchtime gentle yoga session. I had my shower finishing with three ohms under the cold and then got dressed and I had a lovely mango kefir smoothie. I then headed out to the yoga, which was really very restful and then I took a gentle walk through my local park to get the few groceries I needed. When I got home I rested on the sofa for a bit until the kids got home. I’m still sipping the pot of tea I made for my daughter and I (I always make her a cup of bubble tea when she gets in from school)
Last night I enjoyed drawing on my iPad for an hour or so and I think I may do that again this evening. I also have chapter four of my audiobook to listen to once I’ve finished with dinner, I’m making spaghetti carbonara tonight.
The guitar gets picked up from time to time. My fingers had softened after neglecting to play for a long time, but they’re starting to toughen up now. I’m glad I put new strings on as it sounds so much better now.
Wishing everyone an addiction free day.

Checking in on day 16. I’m going strong, attending TLC meetings most days, sometimes multiple meetings a day. Texted with a sober friend. Plenty of NA beverages in the fridge. It’s so hot here today I could only walk the dogs, but we still got two good walks in and I went for a short motorcycle ride, now we’re chilling in the AC, which I’m very thankful to have. Hope everyone is doing well.

It has taken me a while to come on here today and check in, mood has been super low, I’ve always had bad anxiety, and depression (since my sister passed) but there’s day’s where the dark fog just rolls in and I struggle to get out of bed, today has been one of those day’s, I’ve took in some sun and done some meditation and rested, what I haven’t done is touch alcohol and I’m 10 days in, it’s been a struggle I won’t lie, this change in my life is a struggle and not reaching for a bottle of wine when I’m feeling so down is really really hard, but I’ll keep trying to fight it and have an early night, hope everyone’s had a great day/night

Evening checkin.
No shit in the fridge.
All was a bit overwhelmimg, topics about a possible new appartement, timeline, furniture, planning…
And then waking up with this ear.
Was at the doc, it’s a swimmers ear.
Congrats 
Another sign?
I believe in signs.
That’s why I like @zzz 's kind of art.
Acceptance… Siiiigh
So i am pausing, just a little, gentle yoga sequence. I will joyn another meeting on Friday. I felt welcome and remember back in peace.
Although my day was stressful, somehow I managed to wear a gentle inner buddha smile and received lot of smiles back… Like over 15 for sure 
Okay, it’s for sure a question how we step out in this world!

Day 42. I’ve been doing really well in work lately and it’s no coincidence. I sometimes still get up in the morning and think how did I ever do it with a 4 day bender hangover. In the past I would feel like death and I mean a level 10 hangover with nothing ate in days family not talking to me and facing into meetings with clients. How I managed I’ll never know. Sometimes I didn’t and “went home sick” only to sneak some beer into me. Next day? Level 10 hangover all over again.
I don’t want to experience that again.

Those level 10 hangovers are insane, I worked at Starbucks at the time and would have to wake up at 4 am and I would stop drinking at 12 and would wake up and take a shot 
then feel like death for two days straight. NOT WORTH IT

Sorry thats been a bit of a rough day today Michelle
grateful that you did check in - i do hope that it made a bit of a difference. a soak in the sun with meditation and rest sounds heavenly.
ROCKING it Michelle - congrats on your double digits! I know its hard not to reach for that bottle but remember why you are on this journey and that nothing good would come from it. You are kicking some serious addiction ass! Keep strong my friend.

Day 514
I wish that I would have been able to understand that life could offer me sobriety and serenity at an earlier stage of my life, to be fair still working on both topics 
But I guess I had to live what I have to live and thankful to be here, even if late, or maybe it is the right time.
Good Wednesday everyone!

Checking in sober day 52.
Back to reality and routine after a week of vacation. I had a great time. It makes getting back to work really difficult. I didn’t get home til about 10pm last night and of course my cats would not let me sleep. At least they missed me.
Continued health issues. The ADHD medicine caused increased heart rate and blood pressure. Even after stopping a week ago, things aren’t back to normal. So seeing my PCP tomorrow to get that checked out.
