Finishing my coffee and breakfast. It’s that time of day I’m struggling in my mind to go and put my bike gear on and get ready to go outside on a chilly morning. I’m going to do it. And have a nice ride. Had a nice easy day yesterday. Got some good stuff at my favourite organic growers/grocers, enough to last me a couple of days. Love that place. Have as good a day as you all can friends. Sober and clean. Love.
Isn’t it the other way round friend? With ‘checking in’ in my mind having a broader meaning than just posting here. It’s working our Recoveries. Making our lives worth living. Not relying on obsolete coping mechanisms like indulging in substance abuse, but instead finding better and healthier ways. It’s good to see you. One day at a time for all of us.
@Binx Always good to see you friend. Here’s hoping you’ve learned the lesson that drinking doesn’t help with anything. Hope I never forget it too.
Read in Vouge yesterday that the 80’s big hair and curls are back big time. (thanks Miley Cyrus and Blake Lively)
I’m not old enough to actually have experienced the real deal but I’ve seen enough 80’s movies and tv shows to know that I totally love that style.
“The higher the hair, the closer to God” as they say
The start of another day! It just started to early, 4:00 am. Yesterday was a meh kinda day. Pretty sure the heavy rain didn’t help. Hoping today is better. For what ever reason my sleep was plagued with really bizarre dreams. On a positive note the rain is supposed to stop this morning, and my husband and I go out for breakfast every Saturday. Wishing everyone a great weekend!
Hi Jazzy
Glad your pain is more tolerable. I feel you with needing to be active in some way. Helps with our mental health tremendously. Grateful your Mom is doing better as well. As always sending love and blessings
Good morning everyone! Checking in on day 99. Have a busy today in front of me which is good, I have the type of mind that needs busy. I hope everyone has the most amazing day! and
It’s going to.be a rainy Saturday. The start of the March break for my children. Looking for to spending some quality time with each of them. Although right now we don’t have a lot financially to be out and about I’m grateful to be clean and sober and present for them and myself. Taking it ODAAT.
Received an email from my family lawyer yesterday. She is almost finished with the filing to submit the documents to my ex for child support and custody. I haven’t received real consistent support in years. It’s frustrating and makes me angry. I get mad at myself sometimes for waiting so long. Believing he would change. At the same time I feel.afarid. When he recieves the court documents i am afraid of his reaction and him just taking off completely. Awww leaving it in God’s hands for he is able. Thankful I have the support from my family and friends and my recovery community.
It started with a local gang member chasing me to a gas station cause he wanted a word about looking at him funny while i drove past. Thankfully i am well versed in de escalating situations while taking control should an issue arise hence the choice of going to a gas station with cameras. Id say he hadnt slept in a few days.
Today i am grateful for not choosing violence
Today i am grateful for making the right decision and not picking up
Today i am grateful to be able to afford the luxury of a good gym and good friends
Then witnessed a cop vs bike situation thankfully the rider was unscathed.
What was a chaotic day turned into a lovely evening with a great dinner and bowling with some friends
May what ever you do today bring you peace and happiness.
Take a minute to reflect on where youve been to how far you have come and also for those who still havent found thier way.
Things are settling down. A week ago yesterday, i ended a ‘normal’ 8 hour drinking spree. But my body rejected it completely. Like it was poison, and it is. I’ve never had it happen that I was knocked down for a week. But I am really glad. Now I know where I’m at with it, and more than ever, it’s not worth it.
I’m excited about my new life. Seems that even drinking sometimes cast a big shadow over my life. Like there was something always running in the background draining the battery, you know? Like subliminal music at the grocery store and all the sudden I bought all these weird pies. Every day, or binge takes up space and time in my life that I don’t want to give it. Adds absolutely nothing. Just a dark force. I’m glad it’s gone.
I feel good and woke up too early. It’s chilly today and I’m going to have to bring some plants indoors. It’s okay, I’d like to be cold a little longer.

Thats been a goal for me for weeks or months even. I didnt want to rush getting ready for work, i wanted to be able to.check in here… i just didnt want to feel rushed
Good morning sober fam. Got called around 120 yesterday and was told negative for covid. So i called work and went back in until 330. Im up and at work today, still feeling really shitty but pushing some sudafed. Every morning ive been so grateful and just having fun even being sick. Ive been honking my horn at everyone and it always makes me smile and die laughing. Sometimes i get dirty looks and sometimes smiles as well. But yeah much love everyone
