Checking in on day 364.
Didn’t make it to the Dirty Dancing musical last night as my wife wasn’t feeling well enough, so I ordered a pizza, watched sports, and binge-watched some episodes of Law & Order.
Got up early today, had breakfast, and headed to the gym for a couple of hours to work off last night’s pizza 
A couple of PB’s in the bag today so I’m feeling good.
Well done on your 30 days!! Now onward, one day at a time.
Today is the morning of day 620 sober from alcohol. My husband is heading out of town for three days and I have never been alone for a night sober yet. I will check in here when I wake up and before I go to bed each day here for the next three days.
Lets get this day!
Day
0 no form of Marijuana (had gummies 0.3% thc)
172 no alcohol
103 no vapes or ciggs
I’m sure you will be fine, but if you need support (or get bored) you know where to find us!
I’m in the same boat (sort of), the wife went to Disneyland without me, that meanie! Just me and the kids for a few days.
Hubs is headed to Phoenix for the World Series! He’s been a Texas Rangers fan since he was a kid and this is a trip of a lifetime for him.
I’ll either be super productive without him here or very lazy. Either way, I’ll be around here tons! Thanks Hoof.
Got really emotional, things getting to me a bit to much. Stories about depression, suicide (intentions), the near death experiences of a lot here, including mine and read the story of Mathew Perry. My sponsor uses sometime the phrase: the sober state is not the normal state of an addict to be in. Don’t like that phrase to much, but must be because it holds some truth and builds up resistance in me. All this getting to me without taking good care of myself. Called a fellow and he said right away you are l in your HALT. Now taking care of it by eating and hitting up a meeting. Like I said earlier today it’s a rollercoaster. Don’t know if I like the ups and down’s of it.
Oh wow – thank you for the background to your video. Reading this just made me feel full of life and hope. You have come so far and are now thriving and moving forward. Opening more doors and enjoying life in the process. So thrilled for you my friend. Always love seeing your images / videos.
@looking4support Oh damn the aftermath of the vaccinations is draining. Do rest and drink lots of water to flush out the blah. Grateful you have a meeting on Tuesday. Until then – we are here for you James 
@trustybird Hell’s yeah 620 days! Next three days will be a breeze. Line up things to do and keep yourself active – won’t even know where the time went. How’s the dollhouse coming along?
@noshame you are back on track today and that is what counts. Love your other counters my friend. You can kick this too 
@hoofhearted Love your wife for just taking herself to Disneyland. How awesome is that. Hope you and the kids have a wonderful time as well. We will be here for you if you need us.
@rob11 oh dear friend I am so sorry for the rollercoaster of a day. It is hard to read and take in all the emotional stories if we are ourselves going through it. You are right to take time to take care of yourself. Great job on reaching out to a fellow – HALT is so important and I do hope it helps. We are here with you so keep working on yourself and I do hope the day turn around for you soon.
@Starlight14 love the Halloween festivities and she looks adorable. Share your carved pumpkin pics when you finish 
Checking in on Sunday afternoon
I laid in bed a lot for past few days. I am grateful to have had the opportunity to do so but i am sick of it so forcing myself to move today. Took a shower - going to take my mom to run a few errands and then who knows. It is a lovely brisk fall day.
Wishing everyone a wonderful addiction free day - sending so much love 
Lol they arent great…we hollowed them out together then she drew the faces and i cut them out…
We had fun thats the main thing 
Love them and yes making fun memories is the main thing!!
I love doing all this kinda stuff with her, its priceless xx
Soooo cute 
Loved the pumpkin carvings too.
Thanks Eric, I try
Oh … my god, you’re gonna smash this!
I love them!!! Fantastic! And life long memories were made.
Checking in sober. I had a pretty big bday last week and my son didn’t stop by. He travels a lot, is married, but lives relatively close. After his wife had their boys 3 years ago, she’s done a lot to cut me out, even though her mom lives with them, has for many years, and my son supports all of them by himself. Mother’s day is another holiday that I now get skipped.
I’m pretty strong, and don’t like drama and don’t play games, so I let it all slide. But that said, doesn’t mean it doesn’t still hurt.
I do my best to stay positive, but yes, I did drink on my birthday. Drank Friday day before, and Sat., my actual bday. I’m not here to beat myself up, or feel sorry for myself. I can’t change the past, only do my best to go forward.
I live a pretty quiet life with my dog and cat, have everything I need. I bought a (almost) new car last Friday, so that was like a big Happy Birthday to me!
I love it. I have a good job and work remotely. But yes, I do miss my son. Not a reason to drink, nothing is really. But a real feeling I try to ignore.
I have a lot of gratitude, that’s why I’m usually on that thread and not here. But today, I wanted to share.
God bless everyone this Sunday, stay sober 
Day 127 
second check in
Had a nice family lunch, folks had their wine and everyone is use to me not drinking now, which really helps.
Back at work tomorrow. Will keep things open wirh my son but i will step back for a while as he must have some stuff he is still angry about
Yes, sober ones with a fully present mama, nothing less than my little one deserves
