Good morning. Up and moving after a bout with the flu the last couple days. Don’t go back to work till Saturday so I think I’ll cook a little bit and get some stuff done around here. @JennyH Hopefully the pain gets better.

I’ve always jumped from one addiction to the other. It feels great to be free from all at the same time.

Haven’t checked-in in a few daze, but I am still sober. This is day 26. I am in Ohio visiting friends and family and honestly haven’t had time to dwell on not drinking. Haven’t even thought about it. Told 2 of my closest friends yesterday that I am a recovering drunk. They were shocked. I never drank outside the home or during the day, just after supper at night until time to pass out. So no one really knew. I am slowly letting everyone know now and telling them I am in recovery.

Checking in Day 20)
Feeling good 
I got up early, showered, got dressed then ran a couple errands. Had a good chat with my sponsor who kicked off the process to me very nicely - hes up in Scotland with his family for a couple days and has said to still call or message if I need him but I feel intrusive doing that. Any thoughts people?
After that and just to preface, a friend of mine I used to drink with just so happened to be in an AA. Meeting I went to one night and we’ve actually become good mates through it, better than we were when we drank together so we met up for coffee and a good chat - before we knew it 2 hours had flown by! It was difficult for us both not to draw on the stark contrast between meeting for a coffee in the afternoon sober and not bumping into each other in a pub wasted as we used to do… tragic in hindsight but positive going forward He works in the coffee shop we went to and we’re going to make a point of going every week. Really enjoyed it!
I also sent an email with my CV to another restaurant today who almost immediately got back in touch and asked me to attend a trial shift so hopefully that sorts that issue out!
I have finally mastered the free bird solo, all 5 minutes of it. I could always play it but used to get lost and never practiced it that much, I used to just wing it (bit like life really) so that’s nice
Had a good 40 minute conversation with my Dad yesterday about all sorts - He was really just checking in with me, sobriety, my plans etc I still never did pass my driving test after the last brutal fail - he’s kindly offered to pay for it all which I think is a hint at staying sober… Maybe it’s because all 7 of my brothers and sisters had all theirs paid for and I didn’t. Maybe he just wants to do something nice for me, who knows but I’m grateful nonetheless. I told him he didn’t have to but he insisted.
Hope everyone is well.
Hugs not drugs

Day 138. Worked 8 till 3. Just feeling quite anxious and not my usual self. Think everything with my dad last week has hit me. All good. I am sure it will pass. Just need a few days to process it all.

Day 634
Goood morning TS! 
How is everyone today?
Feeling alright this morning. Woke up at 530am for a workout. Just did some cardio and abs. Now having a nice cup of coffee. Have plans to head out to the mall today to grab a Christmas gift for my husband. Im an early Christmas shopper. I want to get my shopping basically done by December so that I can focus on baking in that last month. Then home to clean and relax. Hope everyone enjoys their day!

All he wants is for you to stay sober, use him.
Ask yourself this question " what’s he going to say if you pick up and you tell him you didn’t want to disturb him?"
