Day 27
We had a baby shower for my daughter yesterday. It was beautiful and she was glowing. Lots of alcohol (it was a couples shower). I did fine but my daughter and I are the only ones that feel good this morning. 
lots of rain yesterday so the dogs (4 total) are a muddy mess. Sun is out today but it is very windy. Looking forward to a workout and watching some golf. Have a great day friends.
Im happy to see you back safe
I can totally see that being a hardship seeing your ex
Keep posting my friend
Good morning all! The sun is finally shining here, however it is cold. Amazing how it puts a pep in your step!!
Today is 167 days af. For that I am grateful! I was in a funk the last couple days, glad to feel better. Nothing major planned today, other than running to the grocery for a few things. So I will be watching the travel channel and popping in and out of here! Hope everyone has a good day! 
Oh my goodness!!! Thatās a beautiful number to behold. Youāre an inspiration!
I saw 99 yesterday and was excited to celebrate your 100 today!!! Congrats on triple digits!

Donāt talk to him

Is an aa as well
Itās four your wellness 
Yesterday went okay, until I realized the foot pain I have been experiencing was the beginnings of a flare up of plantar fasciitis, my first experience with it. It hit its peak yesterday after being on my feet all day. Iāve never felt such pain in my feet in my life! Iāve had foot issues for some time but this takes the cake. I had to ice and elevate it, attempt some stretches and massage but it was hot (pain wise) to the lightest touch. 
I realize that breaking in new shoes for work is a factor, upping my higher impact exercise and taking longer walks without proper foot support, and not stretching enough all have an impact. Iām grateful even though it was painful going to bed last night that I still slept really well and woke up with the sunrise. Itās a dull ache this morning and Iāll be sure to stay off my feet as much as possible today despite all the things I want to do. They will still be there when I can get to them. Sigh. It sometimes feels like I make gains in one area just for something else to knock me down. But my recovery journey has taught me that staying flexible and adapting to circumstances that arise is the only way to move forward in my life and deal with what comes along the way. Using substances kept me rigid and stuck. Mental health challenges can do the same. Working through both helps me learn new ways to be and thatās how I develop myself to be a thriving and resilient human. So today Iāll take this situation as an opportunity to slow down, do some reading, I can still sort through clothes while sitting down (my main goal for today) and everything else can wait.
Hope you all can find a moment of joy today. Here was mine this morning, seeing the sunshine on my newly organized library/zen den/reading room.
Itās daylight savings time. Idk where you are but I was under the impression that itās still practiced in many places worldwide 
Iām pretty it was originated to help the farming industry somehow. I know Iāve heard rumors of them stopping it bc honestly, the daylight is going to be there regardless of the time.
Thank you Rosa 
. It felt good to type it this morning! So grateful 
@apes2020 Awe girl, I am well aware of what that toxic ex can do. I finally had a couple weeks one time, and hadnāt seen or heard from him in monthes, but then we crossed paths driving and just seeing him for 2 seconds brought everything back to the surface and I caved. In the end we definitely get stronger from facing all this bullshit 
Glad you made it back so fast
Responding to your reply from the previous thread: for sure, hence why I said āironicallyā before the fact that I seek less support the more I struggle - especially when using. It takes a lot of mindfulness to snap out of it. Both the addiction and depression that rely on each other in my case. But as you said, one day at a time speaks volumes, itās good to have you around here too 
Iām in a grumpy mood for no reason. Iām going to hang out a bit until it passes. Like a cloud, right? I just got up too early. I donāt need to take any action to change it. Maybe a nap 
This part always bothers me but I know it eventually evens out.
Day 12. I left TALKING SOBER during my relapse of 3 months. When I returned I found a tally of unread topics in my profile. As of today I have only 29 unread. I have enjoyed and found helpful reading the past 3 months of others during my leave of absence. I truly believe this platform is a valuable tool and resource to remain sober and find assistance when needed.
Thank you all.
Calender alarm just notified me im 10months alcohol free

How do you feel when you are under the influence? Mentally and physically?
Itās called zomertijd - summertime here in the Netherlands, and it starts in three weeks time. Goes for the whole of western Europe I think.
Ah yes. Here in Europe we do this on the last sunday in march. Thatās why I was confused
Why do you feel the urge to pick up?
You dont need to answer
Just trying to get you sole searching
Why do you pick up?
How do you feel when under the influence?
How do you feel after?
Us addicts tend to believe it helps us picking up to solve some sorta issue whatevervthat may be
SOBRIETY helps us in every way
We might have setbacks still. Thats life. But we can learn to deal with life on lifes terms and being sober helps us with that
