I just watched the highlights. It was a very exciting match. I can’t even imagine the people in the stadium.

Okee dokee …Day 25 for me today.
It’s going great! It warmed.up a bit and they skies have cleared.
I had an optometrist appointment today, had the old peepers dilated to check for damage from my “fall”. They are fine other than still some bruising with left eye.
It was interesting driving home with my pupils dilated. Lol! But I made it.
Feeling a little agitated lately but I think it’s more out of boredom. Haven’t felt any desire to drink. I need to find a hobby … never had one so not sure what to try.
I am open to suggestions.
Hope ya’ll are doing well out there.

Today is the only day that matters as far as your sobriety is concerned. If you do step into tomorrow the only thought you should have is " How can I act better than today?"

@mindofsobermike I am so sorry that today did not start off like you had planned. I know addiction can be crippling. Makes you think you have nothing to live for and makes you feel empty inside. Leaving a hole that only our DOC can fill. I know that I have seen you kicking addictions ass and that you have the strength to overcome this beast. You have two beautiful girls that you love with all your heart and who love you. You are in a lot of pain and I am so very sorry for that. We are unable to do this journey alone – this mainly is because when we are alone we are unaccountable and have a better chance of listening to the falsehoods that our addiction feeds us. I do hope that you are able to find the strength and power within you to reach out to your sponsor and get to a meeting. If you need – set an alarm and start the day with an online meeting and then do an in person meeting.
Much love to you my friend - i have faith in you and am sending you strength so that you may find it within yourself

@BrOKenWolf Hey Richard – how are you doing? Sending you so much peace and love my friend.
Have you tried EMDR therapy? This may be helpful in untangling past memories / emotions. I did find it useful for me and hope to revisit once I get better. I also tried hypnotic therapy which was an attempt to heal so that maybe I wouldn’t drink as much. It did not help with the drinking but did help me forgive and move past some childhood traumas.
@looking4support How did your day go James? I do hope you made an appointment with your doctor- suffering for 2 months is long enough – do not want to head into winter already feeling like crap. Hope you feel better soon.
@sunny11 welcome back – great to see you doing well on day 3. Keep stacking on the days 
@rob11 HAPPY BIRTDHAY Rob. Grateful that you were able to spend with your parents and son. I know it stings when your good friend misses a Bday wish but it may be totally unintentional. I know as I grow older I miss important dates even when they are on my phone and it is not because I care less (just life gets busy). I wish you many happy returns on your special day 
@kimpantera not one drop, not one smoke – my new mantra… thank you. It is a lovely realization in our recovery and I am grateful to find that life is so rich and beautiful without. Doing awesome with 11 days
@PositiveThoughts great job on taking a break rather than hitting the beers to make the tasks more enjoyable. Whey did we do that? Grateful that we are learning to respect our bodies and listen to them as well.
@lorelai a weekend of celebration planned? Ooh now this sounds lovely – can’t wait for you to celebrate your next milestone 
@mira_d 100 days!!! Woot Woot girl – so proud of your triple digits! Keep the days rolling in.
@amy30 3.5 hours is too long for a cinema movie (even with the new recliner chairs) – I would need to take a bathroom break for sure. I do hope you find some comfort from your bout of depression. You are kicking ass in keeping up with it ALL. Be proud of yourself.

I had a hell of a day - grateful that i was able to work the shift (because of lack of parking i was sent home for the clean up portion which i did not complain about). I was in a ton of pain and super tired as i had like maybe 2 strung together hours of sleep last night. Came home and took an Aleve (the only pain med i allow besides one Midol when needed) and really the Aleve does not take much of the edge off. I am grateful that i was able to fall asleep for 4 hours - woke up groggy and just shit feeling. I am now hoping that tonight will be a better night of sleep. I am watching a some cheesy Hallmark movies to mindlessly pass the time.
Much love to all you beautiful sober souls!

Work was rough. I sold a crock of French onion soup. That was it. Boring 
Day to day life is beginning to feel repetitive. I need to switch something up before it gets too mundane. Maybe I do need to make plans occasionally.
I did do some self care, which I realized I’ve been neglecting. My toe was sore and I discovered it was bc of an ingrown nail. The last time I had a proper pedicure was before Easter! Obviously I’ve trimmed them, but the dead, calloused skin was building up 
so I spent some time on that and finished with a facial. I feel a bit fresher.
I didn’t get as much sleep as I should have, so off to bed now

Checking in on 361. I’m super exhausted this morning as I head to the office, as I didn’t get home from the game until well after midnight. Have a great (and sober) Thursday folks.

My weekend is here. The workweek was OK, not great, not bad. Going to the Van Gogh museum this morning, I like to go at least a couple of times a year. This might be one of the less jam packed days of the year there (idle hope I know).
Had a boil lanced yesterday which was done alright by a replacement doctor at my GP’s office. She did tape it up a bit too thoroughly in my opinion. Might redo it myself later. Her sweet Flemish accent made up for it 100%
Otherwise not too much to mention. Which is good I guess. I’m not too well rested, which makes me secretly wish for a job with no change between early and late shifts. But work wise I am right at the place where I want to be. Hm. Going to chew on this for a while.
Have as good a day as you can all friends. Sober and clean. Love from my misty little square. Stay safe. X

Phew! What a morning!! I did not noticed a black car got into the “blind zones” of my truck trying to curve me from the right. I was rotating right and hit that car. I never suggest to outrun trucks through right side. Although it was my fault I did not noticed it, the blind zones did not helped here either.
At the moment I felt the hit I emmediatly turned to left. No injuries. No damage to my truck. Black car got mild to severe damage. The woman driving it got really scarred. I can imagine that…
I was not smoking for 2 weeks. Relapsed on smoking cigarettes. Hands still shaking…

Celtic brings lots of juice to the CL. I hope Rogers finds a way to make it through the next stage.
