Just one day to 365. Congrats!
Day 236.working 8_3 today. Dark outside. I canāt wait for the spring!
Starting to plan holiday for September (so I can save for it) hopefully back to Venice as itās beautiful and familiar now.
Checking in Day 119)
Hello Iām doing alright, I took a bit of a break through January so I could focus on my inventory. It was rough going but really worth it. At the moment, Iām out of work but meh. Iām helping my Dad move house and trying other meetings in other places which are proving to be okay but not quite as āniceā as the ones in my hometown but my guess is thatās just a case of familiarity.
I hope everyone is doing well and keeping sober
Hugs not Drugs
I like that!
A guy at one of my regular meetings is a big hugger and he said it to me first time I met him. It stuck!
Day 16 AF
TW kind of EDā¦ bla
Bad thoughts about my body donāt stop.
Although I am the fastest shark in the pool,
I feel like shit.
Last time I did hard restrictive things (1 week shake diet) i relapsed after 77 days. Obviously not an option.
Day 4 of 35 taken my dad to radiotherapy, itās early days but it feels great to spend some time with him I can only keep praying all is well, staying clean is extremely difficult but il keep reaching out. Have a blessed day.
Good morning everyone! Checking in on day 76. I hope you all have an amazing day!
and
I just read something that said something like, there are a ton of books and programs about how to change your body but not very many about liking your body as it is.
You arenāt alone in this.
How do you feel about AI? clever isnāt it? So smart and revolutionary.
Well, it canāt self regulate or reproduce or swim or have sex or eat delicious food or go to the opera or cry at a movie or ponder EATS, SHOOTS, AND LEAVES or EATS SHOOTS AND LEAVES.
I have so many flaws that sometimes I imagine thatās all someone can see. Like a pair of comedy 80s Barbara Windsor boobs with no body or head. We must love what we have. We must care for it dearly. Iām learning too ladies. We are magnificent. Apart from the mycelium structure and cells itself (life still), there is no greater mystery and joy on earth than our own skin and bones. Much love you beautiful women
Hey all, checking in on day 1341. I hope everybody has a good one!
Day 236. Second check in. My son missed a family wedding, he messaged me to say he hadnāt been invited, so I explained well he doesnāt make any effortā¦ Then he said so why should he be at it thenā¦ Wtf? Why am I trying
Checking in Day 1
I am doing well this morning. I am feeling ready to tackle the day and live life in sobriety. I am trying to remember 1 day at a time. I want to try to lean in more to practicing daily gratitude. My wife recently has been asking me the question, āWhat are you grateful for?ā almost every day. I dont think I have been taking that question seriously enough. I also am looking forward to leaning into prayer over Lent this year to prepare for Easter. If I take it one day at a time and maintain daily spiritual practiceā¦ thats a step.
I am currently reading the book āThe body is not an apology: The power of radical self-loveā by Sonya Renee Taylor. Iām not done yet, but I realy love her take on the injured relationships we have with our bodies and on body shame.

Checking-in with yesterdayās numbersā¦
Caught the bus to the city centre, then walked to where I see the physio. No massage yesterday. We tried a strength test which was abominable! So heās referring me for rehab. Another 3hr round trip for a 10min appointment.
When I got home I sorted all my meds for the next week.
There has been fraudulent activity on my bank account, someone used my card details to make a payment last week, so I reported it and my bank said they had to cancel my card, so Iām waiting for a new one which still hasnāt arrived, Iām anxious because I have subscriptions that payments are now declining from. And I need to top up my phpne credit within the next 3 days so Iām really hoping it arrives by then. I can see all the declined transactions the fraudster is trying to make, including some international ones as well on my bank app, and itās really scary, I dont know how someone has got my card details.
Today, in just over an hour, I meet with the guy who is in recovery from addiction. Nervous but intrigued.
Time to get ready.

The card stuff happened to me once too. The people from the bank told me they just take some random card number and try it hoping the owner wonāt notice on time. You canāt protect yourself from this kind of stuff. You did everything you could. Spotting it on time and contacting the bank is the best way do deal with it.
And yeah, I had to wait for the replacement card too. No fun. Hope yours will arrive sooooooon!
Day 121. Just after 7 AM. Morning weightlifting done, over a mile on the track done, and an AA gratitude meeting done. I could not be this productive if I was still drinking. Now off to get ready for the rest of the day. Have an awesome day my friendās.
Sounds interesting
Thanks for your words Emilie @TrustyBird and @Tragicfarinelliā¦ Very inspiring. My view and mood changed during the last hours. Impermanence
Love you ladies
Oh Iām adding to my TBR list !!
