Checking in. It wasn’t a productive day, but that’s ok. Still having some difficult time, but it’s better than yesterday. Just trying to focus on my routine and self-care.

Day 2635. I’ve been really busy with work and haven’t checked in here much recently. Still trying to exercise regularly. It’s a challenge with work and commute. Things are going well. I’ve had issues with setting boundaries recently that has led to some stress. I was a stress case last week because of it.

Checking in day 62 🩵
This day has flown by.
My sister called me today and my nephew who is 19 just graduated boot camp for the US marines got married. Just went off and got married without telling anyone. And it got to me a little. Well I guess a lot. I got married right out of high school at 18… and ugh it’s a time I wish I could go back and talk to younger me about.
Anywho… I’m sitting here fuller than I’ve ever been bc my glutinous self ate the entire Applebees menu.
Much 
everyone xoxo

Checking in again on Day 1. In 3 hours and 45 minutes Day 1 will be over. After posting and chatting online with a friend, I felt so much calmer and slept the afternoon away. Now in the virtual rooms with cup of Earl Grey with honey, and actually managed a half blueberry muffin.
Now my spirit is coming back— thinking about my new journey and all the joy it will bring. I was in a wobbly place and fell. Now building that stronger program that will carry me through. No day is more important that Day 1, as terrible as it feels. You can’t have 1000 days without the first. Going to read on here this evening and lots all week.
Thank you so much

Hey Ted I’m new here as well- welcome. Could relate to your ‘loopholes’ - very much! Taking my drinking off the table. No ‘but what if’s’ or that thing is guaranteed to happen.
Glad you’re here, take good care.

Checking in Day 72. Today was good, wife and I attempted to do some intense cleaning in between boys in and out of the house all day. Nothing stays clean here with 4 boys and 2 dogs. Overall today was a good day, I’m alive, my family is okay, & I didn’t pick up and drink!

Checking in and oh so tired. Just about off to bed. It was a good day around the house. I woke up way too early hearing my little man in his crib, he nestled back fo sleep on his own but alas I was awake with finances on the mind. Things are quite tight lightly, and thag always brinfs stress with it. Turns out the liftle guy was sick in his crib, so we stayed in instead of visifing friends but in the end a really good day.
Had a good talk with hubby the other day also, and its true what they say…little ones does make it hard to find those moments to talk!
Wishinf everyone another 24. Hang in there all. Xo

Checking in and in a much better head space today. I think my anxiety was starting to spin out of control and i was over thinking everything. I finally made a decision and bought a new car today. I went in with a plan, got a great price and interest rate and am very happy with my decision. It was a long day, but i came home and got some things organized around my house and made a plan to get some other things I’ve been putting off done first thing tomorrow. I also made plans to go bowling around noon before i have to work in the afternoon. I feel like I’m back in control instead of just worrying and obsessing, but not taking action.
I hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Hi @Lighter Everyone gets a chance to relapse but not everyone gets another chance to recover. Do not beat yourself up, instead take advantage of this opportunity to be able to start over. You can do this, let’s keep on keepin on.

Ending my evening by watching tv with hubby while having a little evening snack. Weather is getting bad out there and will only get worse tomorrow. Thanks to recovery and its ability to repair finances and relationships, my hubby did something super thoughtful. Like i mentioned… the weather is really bad (lots n lots of snow and high cold winds). My winter boots broke this morning as i was getting ready for work, so was forced to wear my runners to work. It was a nightmare. I get home from work and hubby said he needed to head out to go somewhere. Here he comes back with new HH winter boots. I was really grateful for this gesture. The fact that he would step out in this crazy weather to get me new boots for work tomorrow, was a beautiful gesture and i also thank recovery for that. Bcuz without us being clean and sober, this likely would not have happened. In fact it most certainly wouldnt have. So im grateful! Have a wonderful night everyone!
