Day 134*
Thankful to have a three day weekend. Iā€™ll be glad to get this weekend over with though, skipping both sides of family parties this year and not feeling guilty about it. I am dealing with some grief which makes the holidays/family time more challenging so I skipped our Christmas traditions this year. Thankfully my partner was agreeable to not doing any tree, decorations, or gifts this year.bah humbug. Christmas day will be a nonstop cookfest in pajamas for just the two of us which is everything I am looking forward to. No people pants or presents will be just perfect this year.

Checking in on day 925. Visiting my parents for the holidays. Nice to have a bit more relaxing schedule. Iā€™m happy that the days are going to slowly lengthen and the light will start returning to the northern latitudes :sun_with_face:

Some days are just kind of shitty. Even in sobriety. The only way to make it better is to make it through. The only way to make it worse, is to drink. Sending a huge hug.

Just getting settled in from a long trip abroad. This trip was definitely different from any other ones Iā€™ve done in the past alcohol-wise ā€¦ examples are me declining complimentary wine bottles at a hotel, and pouring out a bottle my wife had bought, opened and then sat in our fridge for a week unused.

It was nice to be offline for awhile, but nice to be back on here and seeing all of your posts and getting my thoughts aired out here.
Been staying sober the first couple of holiday get togethers so far, and plan to continue that tonight and the next few days.

I hope you have a great rest of your day.

Day 182. Itā€™s six months tomoro? Feeling okay ish. My eldest daughter sent me a Christmas card which was nice. Nothing from my son but I think that may take years if ever to improve.

Going to watch Christmas movies! ā€˜Violent nightā€™ firstā€¦ Then grabbing some shut eye

Day 292

I went to spin class this morning, the first one I did in months. It felt really good, I should do spin classes on a more regular basis again.

This afternoon we went bowling. The first two games went horrible for me. However the third game I kinda had a miracle comeback and smashed all scores from the previous rounds.

Everything is (almost) ready for Christmas. Picking up the pre-ordered turkey in the morning and after that it is Christmas family time until Iā€™m back at spin class on Wednesday morning.

Sober love to my brilliant TS fam :heart:

Did some chores and wrapped all the presents this morning. These are exactly the type of things I used to drink wine while doing. Today Iā€™m doing them sober. One day at a time. Have a good Saturday everyone!!
