Day 9 for me and went to a meeting yesterday and shared. I really felt good being there and felt a reak connection. I might make it my home group. Today i took my son to the airport to fly back home. Im home here alone now and a bit sad. I think about drinking sometimes and having a cigarette but i had tea instead and dessert. I will go to bed early and start a new day tomorrow.

Evening Check In
Day 634
Overall it was a good day! Went and did some christmas shopping and ended up finding some items for a really good deal, so bought more gifts than I intended to for the family. Came home and relaxed with my son (hes on fall break from school so hes home for a week or so). I ate well today and exercised. Did a little cleaningā¦ the usual daily stuff. Feeling good overall! 
Hope everyone has a great evening!

Thank you Mira 
There are a lot about him.
His soul is hanging around 35 meters high atm and he is not stopping making jokes, twinkling and just being cool. We will miss this special guy so much. Will be at my mummy today again.

One day off work, and glad to see my therapist this morning after a month long hiatus. Lots of current events to talk about, mostly positive I feel. Too bad itās only one day off and I work the weekend, but not feeling bad about my job either, even when yesterday we had two new admissions running out before they were properly admitted, jelling and cursing and threatening violence. Nothing really bad happened and we dealt with it professionally and as a team. Happy with that.
What to say about the weather? Nothing I guess. 
. Iām not going to let it spoil my day or mood. I have plenty of other options to do that as well but Iām not going to go for those either. Iām going to go and have as good a day as I can. Sober and clean. And expect the same from you all. One day at a time friends. Lots of love.

Checking in on day 376.
Back into the office today before the site director takes a few of the team out to dinner afterwards.
Iām looking forward to choosing the most expensive steak on the menu . I think most of the team will go for a little pub crawl afterwards but Iāll probably give that a miss.
Iāll have the car with me so that I can leave whenever I want and leave the rest of them to it.

Day 52:
Pretty good day for a Thursday so no complaints. Slept a little better, almost too well. Took until after midnight to fall asleep and then I was awake at 4:30. Got up and went downstairs to get the coffee ready to start brewing at 5:30. Came back to my bed to watch the morning news and thatās when the deep sleep hit me. Slept through three alarms and luckily woke up at 6:45, supposed to be to work at 7!
With a lot of rushing I made it to work by 7:15, not bad! Employee review for one of my installers, got all the guys out to their jobs and then had a full day checking on everyone. Even though it was insanely busy, the day just had a good flow. Made it home at a decent time, grabbed a shower and off to meet my friend for dinner and TNF. Amazing meal of of blackened salmon, balsamic glazed Brussels sprouts, prosciutto wrapped asparagus and garlic mashed potatoes, amazing meal with great company. We hardly paid attention to the game.
We talked about sobriety a bit and I found out her sister is currently detoxing from alcohol, crazy how this disease affects so many. Shared a little of my story and my familiarity with AA meetings in the area. Told her I was available for any help or advice I could offer.
After 3 hours of eating and talking I made my way home, got my November workout done and now itās time for bed!
Another day happily sober, sweet dreams!

Hi all, checking in on Day 57.
I was a little disconnected from here yesterday and couldnāt work it out. It worried me as I am approaching my longest sober period and disconnection usually meant unhelpful thoughts. Turns out I had run out of my citalopram and forgotten. By the time I was in bed I worked it out, the withdrawal was pretty obvious by then. Need to get my prescription asap this morning. Between that, my gallbladder pain and being overdue I really hope noone is mean today at work, they may get it
Have a good day all, thank you for being here

3am checkin. Couldnāt sleep at all so gave up trying. Iām going to call my doctor today about the medication side effects. This is miserable. But at least itās Friday.

So sorry, that sounds horrible. Hope the Doctor can help. Can you plan a nap in?

Yes, Iāll try to nap at some point. I work from home so I have a flexible schedule.

That is something I suppose, but catching up on sleep isnāt enough to take away the misery of insomnia at night. Hope you get to resolve that

Day 139. Lousy sleep but I feel better today. Will work 8_5 then relax. Have a sober day folks. I had a real sense of just trying to stay calm and focused when my dad was ill last week. I think this week it has kind of sunk in how lucky we were
