Girl same xoxoxoxxoxo Just seeing your name makes me smile. I’m going to make a concerted effort to be here more often. I want back in the lounge lol.
Checking in day 1. Very tired and anxious on lunch break from work. Pray for me to have the strength to get through this. Atleast i know this is the last time im going to feel this way. No more using for me
Hi you, its good to see you back. You’ve been missed. Meant to say that the other day but got sidetracked lol
Checking in day 71, been really flat and unmotivated for anything over the last week or so but going to focus on some exercise and eating well this week, have a great week everyone
Checking in on my last 15 minute break of the day. Ready for the work day to end so i can rest up proper again.

This weather is bi polar. Woke up to a windy snowstorm. Friday I was outside in a tank top! Make up your damn mind So I had a lazy day at home until I had to pick up my daughter. It’s midnight and I can still hear her awake in her room. I like the other time change better. Luckily I’m actually feeling pretty tired for what my body thinks is 11pm. Think I’ll try to lay down. Have a great one!
And here i am laying on my bed melting with my air-conditioning unit still on full blast since 48 hours ago ughhh this heat wave were stuck in is my worst nightmare, yesterday it hit 38c at nightime if i didnt have air conditioning i swear i would of been floating in my bath tub with ice cubes 24/7 lol. Its unbearable the heat give me a frosty Berkshires winter snow storm over this any day lol

Did nothing but some grocery shopping yesterday. And relax on the couch with Luna, watching sports and documentaries. Today it’s back to work. Sober and clean. Thanks for being here all, every single one of you. We’re in this together. I need my alone time too but I certainly can’t do it on my own.
Have as good a day as you all can friends. Clean and sober. Love from Long Beach Washington in April 2017. Just a good memory, me and my friend riding our beach cruisers into the wind.
I would have had 1999 by Prince stuck in my head for days if I was you haha. Congrats on the nice round number
100 days
It seems like both a long time and a short time. It gives me a reason to think back to those desperate feelings of the first days and week.
Today was a good day. Swam a few laps with the wife. Had some lunch then picked up the kids from school.
Got a call today with an opportunity to take the next step in my progression to become a trainer at work. A bit last minute in that its tomorrow due to someone getting sick, but the fact im not drinking means that tonight i can do some quick study, and tomorrow I’ll be feeling fine
@Just_Laura The whole time change thing is just an unnecessary bother.
@NewBeginning1 Good to see you here back on day one
@ifs Thanks for the dam analogy. Makes a good mental picture to remind myself.
@Mindofsobermike Thanks for sharing your story. It’s good to be reminded that recovery is in the end about connections. The really valuable ones. Addiction is isolation.
@Mira_D I’ve never heard of ‘home exchange’. How does it work?
@Tomek to less overthinking!
@CATMANCAM Staying strong through a difficult day
@MrFantastik Big congrats on 100days You did great work!
@Noshame Congrats on 10months I’m so impressed!
@SobrietyForMe Good to see you back here
110 sugar
8 UPF
3 overeating/binge
Goals for today: keeping food journal, mindfulness practice while eating, practicing HALT through the day.
New Monday, new week. I am awake before 6:00. Usually I would toss and turn and try to get back to sleep. Today I decided to just wake up. I have some really fascinating projects going on and am eager to get back to them. Practicing HALT is going to take some real determination. But I’m inspired by my people here. I’m not going to neglect my needs in order to get on a destructive high. This is the only way out of addictive patterns.
I have a class later at school, yin yoga planned for the afternoon. The rest the day will bring. Whatever comes, today I want to keep at my recovery practice, today I want peace, freedom and kindness for myself and all of us
Reaching triple digits is big in my book friend. Huge congrats!
Sorry to tripple post today, but what the heck…yes i felt like crap all day but really almost thought i was through this bug i got. Ive been relaxing all evening and about 7 8 oclock my eye started getting itchy and felt like something was in it. I didnt play with and now its just pushing green gunk out my eye is completely pink. How did i just in a couple hours develop pink eye. Give me a break lmao wtf
Day 876 AF
Sup, gang.
It was a stressful week at work. I had thoughts about drinking a cold one, but I know I’m not going to. I’ve been going on walks to relieve the stress.
I worked the Saturday shift yesterday. Dropped the kids at my mom’s after. The wife and I needed a breather. It’s funny because we didn’t know what to do afterward. Didn’t do much. We went out to dinner and came back home. Too tired to do anything. Went for a walk at the park this morning and picked up the kids in the afternoon. Just got done watching a movie with the kiddos, and now we’re lying in bed.
Oh yeah. I got my tax return and paid off a couple of credit card debts. Old drunk me would’ve blown my money on booze and junk food.
It’s my o-day tomorrow. Don’t have anything planned. Prolly just chill with the fam.
Have a great day/night, y’all. Keep putting in work!
Take care. ODAAT.
Day 70:
Crazy how time flies! Couldn’t be happier than where i am right now. I have worked my ass off at staying sober and working out! I actually like who i am right now. I feel healthy, i feel grounded, i feel like I’m on the right path.
Loving the new me!
I’m here, I’m alive and I’m sober.
Day 12.
Ordinary Monday.
Nothing to report.
Went up early again, did some exercise.
Woke up the rest of the family.
Kids are going to school, my husband is still home on sick leave because of his back injury.
And I’m unemployed for now.
So we’re both enjoying our time together.
There’s a contractor coming some day this week to check the blueprint and leave a price suggestion for the porch we want to build.
That’s about all.
I’m thinking about checking in the local solarium, I know it’s not really healthy but I could definitely need the light boost.
Have a great Monday and a wonderful week everyone.
