@Juli1 Congrats on two weeks! How you holding up?
@Tragicfarinelli I hope you get some quality sleep soon. Bad sleep always knocks me sideways.
@Just_Laura This is a great story! Especially the part where you did not order vodka

40 days in the bank
Last full day of holiday, back on the ferry home tomorrow.
Glad Iāve got a few days off before i head back to work, although I might pick up some overtime before then.
Today was a bush walk to a beach, then swimming at another beach all afternoon, before a bbq dinner at another beach. Might have got a little sunburnt in amongst it all

Day 201. Working 8_5. Back to back meetings. Work is good but my God itās my main conversations. I donāt socialise or know a soul in Cornwall other than my wife and her small family. I canāt get too pally with my teams as Iām ātheir managerā god I feel dull sometimes.
My wife was talking about her younger clubbing days and her behaviour left me quite uncomfortable. Yep. Iām probably a tad conservativeā¦ I cannot wait till the weekend. Listening to the cinematic orchestra āI believeā album

Checking in. Iām still here and sober. Iāve just been lurking because I have so much going on right now with the new job that Iām exhausted. But I really like the job and the people I would with. Iāve been dealing with some cravings this week but getting better at dealing with those. I think.

Good morning beautiful sober warriors, from snowy Michigan. Iām not popular with this opinion but I do actually like snow 
I have not been checking in but I have been doing my journal and trying to catch up on this thread. I officially hit 60 days at 7:00 yesterday evening. Other than that, life is life as usual. Iām glad I finally let go of the dream that if Iām sober life will somehow become a magical Disney movie. 
Being sober does not change the fact that being a human (especially an adult) is hard and messy and very complicated at times. What Iāve noticed it does change is how I handle life and cope with feelings. Over the last 60 days I have implemented and stuck with so many healthy activities and habits, that I now find myself running to use those tools in times of severe stress. The thought of what I have to go through and how much I have to spend in order to have my DOC, now seems like so much work, where it used to feel like the only place to run for cover. Do I still have cravings? Yes I do. And something tells me I probably always will on some level. But the difference now is even when it comes in a wave I know Iām strong enough, at least for right now,that Iām not going to follow through. Just thinking of how I would feel physically makes me sick and I used to do it to make me feel ābetterā. I have had a few dreams where I went off track and it really affected me this time. Usually it just triggers another binge, but this time has just been so different because Iām actually doing the real work on myself. The last thing I WANT to do is throw these 60 days away and start all over from scratch, but I know at any moment I could fall off track. So no matter how much I think this thing is behind me I know itās not and I will not allow myself to get complacent. I will stay vigilant and continue to do the work. Have a thankful Thursday everyone.

Checking in Day 83)
Argh!! Lol and Iām back to Northants for work!
I just took 12 days off to refresh and rejuvenate and yet another staff member has walked on account of the head chef being a douche to them. They just will not learn! In a way, I kind of feel like Iām taking advantage of the situation because Iām getting paid to do the work but I also canāt do someone elseās inventory for them. This is becoming a bit of a theme for me at the moment: not trying to take other peoples inventory.
How is everyone else? Enjoying the new year so far I hope
Hugs not drugs

Day 1,308 clean and sober today. Day 1 social media. I will be busy today doing chores around the house and getting things ready for my friend who is flying in next Wednesday to stay with me for a week. Itās nice to have a place where people can come over. Work is still very stressful but I do have applications out so we will see.
Have an amazing day everyone, love you guys

Day 58. Good morning sober fam. Yesterday evening was good, just watched some TV and played a little Xbox. Woke up this morning and headed off to work, just said my gratitudes as I ride and enjoy the view. Was kinda funny trying to ride the side walks bc they were frozen slushy foot prints and I was just bouncing and turning all over the place and I was just laughing out loud and saying ride em cowbow. Idk if I didnāt notice anyone out for their morning walk they would of had a show for sure. Iāve done that a few times Iāll be talking in like a funny voice or just being a goof ball thinking nobodies around and then bam I see someone and they are staring right at me. I was thinking pretty thorough last night and this morning and I do think it the hospital calls me back I might tell them I decline the position, idk. I just think they seem pretty idk what the word Iām looking for is? Maybe nit picky and I donāt feel it would be a fun environment to work for. I mean to literally say they donāt want to hire me bc I peaked interest in being a c.n.a is crazy. But yeah anyways Iām at work and going to enjoy the day, one on one with my counselor at 3 and gonna talk about mental health counselor and my little ideation I had the other night. So yeah idk much love everyone
