I’m so behind on this thread! I shall have to just continue on from here. It is nice to see everyone popping in though! It’s also heartwarming that we can come here and know someone is going to respond when we need a hug, a word of condolence or support or a cheer of celebration. I love this community for that very reason - we are never alone.
I was a grumpy gal last night and realized I was feeling the sinus pressure from impending weather. Took some medicine, my husband fixed me a plate of food after I said I wasn’t hungry and I gobbled it up, then fell asleep on the couch and he had a hard time getting me to bed! But I woke up feeling in better spirits and had a really good day at work. Today was one of those days where I felt on top of things, organized in my thoughts and taking care of business as needed. Tomorrow I’m cleaning the apartment my boss owns that’s upstairs, actually I think there are two that need cleaning, and I’m looking forward to that kind of tangible task that has a solid result, a rental unit ready to show and re-rent. They’re such cute furnished studios with a loft in each one and a murphy bed in the main space, lovely decor. I would have loved to live there as a college student or when I was still single…a lifetime ago. I’ll crank some tunes and enjoy the task. It will still be snowing, most likely, and the view out the window over the downtown of my old river town is lovely. For now, I’m enjoying the snow globe effect out my window and dreaming up my dinner plans for tonight.
Sending my best wishes and sober strength to all, as usual.

I’d send a like but I ran out of likes to give, yes m’am we are on that sober train!!! 
I realize some days will be tougher than other days, but anything is better than using!! Using drugs/alcohol is when every day becomes a shit day!!!

At least you can move on.
Enough is enough, and your own peace should be the most important one.
There’s a saying that goes “No matter what you do, you will always be the villain in someone’s story”
I think of that a lot, especially during the times when you need to be very direct to someone.

I must clean my room, for the garbage is making a little mountain in my room right now. Then I must workout, join meetings, and then see my sponsor but manz is feeling pretty tired after work D:
But I must do these things or else manz will fall off the train! 
I had some cravings telling me “BUY THE COCAINE, BUY THE COCAINE, BUY THE COCAINE!!!” As soon as my dad left to go to his karate class, but I resisted The temptation is still a bit there, but I know that the blowcaine will just wreck manz once again if I do it.
Can’t snort The Great Wall of China today!!! Must stay sober

@BJonns glad you’re here checking in on Day 5. I have a big problem with sweets. For the time being I just look at in a positive light, when I was drinking I didn’t eat, maybe 1 meal if it’s really even considered a meal. I normally weigh around 215, when it got really bad, I was down to 130#.
Feel like I’m just making up for all the shit I put my body through.
@Jimz congrats on 93 days, James!

Checking in on day 104! Woke up tired, I was up with our 4 y/o for quite a bit last night. He was coughing all night. Listened to Bob D, surrender, today on you tube, took baby boy to the Dr for the cough and his eczema, had some folks come by the house this evening to look at one of the pups they were interested in, my mother in law is blowing up my phone and my wife about how much we have to do this weekend getting her moved into her new apt—it’s mentally draining me, I’ve been trying to get mentally prepared for this about two weeks now. getting things situated with the boys before I leave to go to a meeting. Hope everyone had a good day today!

Day 138. Havent checked in last couple days. Doing good just busy with work and working on my bike. I have hydraulic brakes and they were sticking and so i ordered new calipers which turned out to be hydraulic brakes for mechanical brakes so they dont work on my bike and i cant for the life of me find the right calipers. Work is good, little bit of drama, but just ignoring it. Much love

So sorry to read this Steve. My heart goes out to your sister and you and all your family. So tragic. It’s so hard, I cannot imagine a mom’s pain in this. I hope she can find support somewhere to help her through this. There is absolutely nothing she could have done. That doesn’t help now that it’s so raw. Maybe she can find an Al-Anon group somewhere and just sit and listen. Or cry. I don’t know. It’s just so awful. And so far this year there have been 3 different people at my meetings sharing about deaths of their loved ones. Young loved ones, because of this disease. Al-Anon can be a great support. Maybe down the road sometime. Now may not be the best time to throw that out there.
I’m so sorry.
