Desperation isnāt required. You stayed sober long enough to know that there will be days of ease and days of struggle. Good to see you

Sober day 10.
Today was more of a struggle in general. But I did have a decent therapy session. Having a quiet evening at home by myself (and the cats). I havenāt been sleeping well. I hope that improves.

1185 days no alcohol.

Nothing much to say, today has be less stressful, and my UTI symptoms have gone away again.
Tomorrow I have part 2 of the āFinding My Voiceā course from last week. Really not looking forward to it, but I will make myself attend. Itās online.
Today I received a letter with my appointment with a Psychiatrist to review my meds, its on the 30th so not too long to left to wait now. I am very apprehensive about it, but also very curious, it has been many many years since my meds were reviewed by a Psychiatrist, and a lot has changed.

@mira_d MAN I donāt have kids but I would be peeved if the school was using TV/ movies to ābabysitā my child on a regular. I totally agree that parents should be aware.
@tailee17 glad that in person meetings have helped get your back on focus. You are doing great with your sobriety 
@mia Ah friend I am sorry that the depression symptoms are so darn strong. I do relate to having to keep working so hard on keeping your positive attitude going. It sounds cheesy but the more positivity we can put into our bodies, the happier and more alive our cells will be and same goes for what the negative gloom can do. I know you radiate positive energy and hopefully it will become less of an effort on your part. Have you tried upping your Vitamin D for the winter months. Iāve heard others talk about a SAD lamp ā this may be helpful during the winter too. Much love Mulan ā we are here with you so lean on us if the depression gets to be too much
@hidden Way to go with 50 days Chris. I do hope you are able to start seeing your sleep regulate soon. Keep pushing forward 
@maestro sending strength and comfort to you and your family. Grateful you are managing this grief sober. As Jenny said ā we are here if you need us.
@catmancam Man that is an annoying session ā sorry Cam. I donāt understand how some folk are so inconsiderate to others in a zoom session. Glad your bowling night was fun. My doctors appointment went fairly well. Have something to try out for next few months and hopefully will see some results. I am hopeful. Also gave me leads to some specialists to see. So thankful that your UTI has cleared
@bomdhil Hope is awesome my friend ā love the three weeks coming up ā you are doing awesome Thomas!
@katiee Much love to your determination and motivation to stay on the sober path. You are stronger than this addiction my friend ā amazing work with 136 days I try to think of all the crappy feelings associated with drinking like the brain fog, the hangovers and the drunken shopping / texting when I get FOMO to remind myself it wasnāt as rosy as my mind will have me believe.
@kareness Sorry to hear that your cat is still experiencing stomach issues. Sending healing vibes ā hope she feels better soon
@mindofsobermike So great to see you Mike and working on your day 2. Hey friend- we are here for you! We just take this one day at a time ā we got your backā¦ keep checking in and holding strong. Missed you Mike

It was a strange day. I could not keep my eyes open for more than 20 minutes at a time. Was shocked that i did get some errands run. I am grateful that i did not have any urges. Hoping everyone has a wonderful addiction free day / evening. Sending you so much love

Day 633
Today was super busy. By the time my husband and I got home i was sooooo hungry and not feeling well (due to hunger) that I did overeat on lunch. I then got super tired and napped for a couple hours instead of exercising. So i didnt get my workout in. Normally i would get sooo down on myself with not following my plan, but im a human being and days will occur where i cant eat the best or work out. Ill get right back on track tmrw. One day will not cause the world to end lol
Recovery wiseā¦ im okay! No thoughts to use. No triggers. Its been nice! I have been working on connecting to my HP more. I feel thats important. Not connecting as often as id like, but im beginning to get back to prayer slowly.
Not much else to report today. Im tired and cant wait for bed. Have a great night everyone

Such a boring day. No one came in for lunch at work. Was tired afterwards from doing nothing so I had a nap. Then went shopping and had dinner. Iām actually pretty tired already. Work in the morning again. 
thereās customers.
Goodnight

Woke up too early which gave me plenty of time to journal this morning. Half way through writing my right hand unconsciously pushed the on button on my pc while my left hand was busy writing.
Finished writing my journal for now, itās a good habit to develop. I like how different things come to mind when I write purely for myself instead of here which of course is also some kind of journaling. But with an audience and a different purpose. Which also makes me see the purpose I still see for myself to be here. A purpose for myself and -hopefully- for some of you too. Because weāre in this together. One day at a time.
Work today, individual therapy tomorrow. Missed one session due to her being on holidays which means I havenāt seen her for 4 weeks. I think I worked through some rather big personal sh*t in the meantime. Gives me a feeling of empowerment. Progress. Sober and clean or nothing would come of anything. Have as good a day as you can all. Love.

Day 753 AF
Good evening, gang.
Dude, this Wordscape Ad is killing me, lol. It takes a minute to load.
Anyways, itās been a slow night at work. Working remotely is getting to me. Itās kinda crazy with the kids and all. I need a little breather from my apartment. Iām going to a company outing this Friday. It should be fun.
I got back on my skateboard this morning and took a cruise on the pump track.
Nothing much going on.
Hope everyoneās doing well. Take care, gang. Stay strong!

Day 51:
Not a bad day at all. The work load calmed down a bit today which gave me time to get a little winter break vacation all set up. The older I get the more the Utah winters weigh on me so planning get-a-ways in the winter is a must. Headed down to Scottsdale, AZ with a friend for a few days the start of December. Even though it wonāt be hot, it wonāt be freezing with snow either! Having things to look forward to always seem to make the bad days easier to handle.
Chill night at home after work, felt at peace, calm and happy. Watched some of the Jazz game, got my workout in and getting a little reading on here done before bed.
Looking forward to another sober day. Hoping the feelings of peace, calm and happiness continue.

I figured out that when a long add pops up, anywhere on the app, close out the app completely and reopen it. You might have to do it more than once but itās still quicker than watching the whole add

Checking in sober 
Thank you all so much for your wishes (too many to list)ā¦ It realy means a lot to me
It was good to show up here with hard life facts.
Not hiding. A point to learn.
It was a real hard day yesterday, but we made a real good team in organising and staying together. We realy had the chance to say goodbye. He was still laying in his bed napping until noon and had an unbelievable relaxed smile. We expected him to make a joke every moment. Thatās the moment to remember
It belongs to lifeā¦
And it goes on.
Doing simple things.
One by one.
I am realy sad this morning, having to cry a lot but I wonāt hold back. Will stay soft and fluent.
I donāt have any urges.
Love you guys
