One weekend of work left before my holidays. Have to deal with some bs there but Iâll handle it. Iâm sober and clean. 1757 Days of Re/Discovery has learned me a thing or two about life and how to handle it. One day at a time.
Glad I took my bike and rode to the growers/grocers on the other side of town yesterday, got my self a sh*tload of healthy things and made myself a big pan of soup afterwards. My cold hasnât disappeared but I do feel a bit better this morning.
Have as good a day as you all can friends. Make it sober and clean as for us thatâs where it all starts. I will. Pic is cherry blossom. Love.
@JazzyS Sorry for your loss Jasmine.
@K_S Congrats on reaching triple digits Kenny!

Day 47 AF
Felt great last night driving through a booze bus. When the police officer asked me if Iâd had anything to drink, I happily replied ânot for the last 46 days buddyâ. He congratulated me and sent me on my way.
Peace and strength to you all

@Seb Isnât that a great feeling?! I drove thru a DWI checkpoint on the 4th of July and my previous DWIs mustâve popped up when they scanned my plate bc they made me pull over. So happy I had nothing to hide! If it happened the year before, I wouldâve gotten my 3rd one. Grateful thatâs not my life anymore

As suspected, I was pretty tired and sore today after yesterday. No school for my daughter, so she left early with her dad. Let me sneak in a nap before work. Work was fine. Got out early enough to make it to Walmart to buy Easter basket stuff. I should set everything up tomorrow afternoon bc I work 4-11 and then 9:30am-5 on Easter and have to pick up my daughter right after. Busy busy busy 
Like I said, just gotta make it thru one more week and my daughterâs party and itâs smooth sailing for a while after that. Looking forward to it

Day 1197,
Focusing on balance between recovery and living. Or just realizing that these are not two separate things and putting myself more and more into real life. So just let call it life in recovery. Empathy and compassion are some key words in living my life. Empathy to those who are âworthyâ of my empathy and compassion for the others (someone who doesnât do anything with given empathy will suck you dry). Might be put down a bit short, but this is how it works for me at the moment. Meet also quit some people outside of meetings and do less meetings last two weeks due to meeting people outside of AA/NA. But recovery is still my first priority with working the steps and a minimum one meeting a week plus meeting my sponsor (someone looking for validation here? 
).
Sometimes find it striking to notice how many people are passive aggressive and make remarks to make them feel better at the expense of others. Maybe thatâs why empathy and compassion are maybe so important at the moment. But letâs stop the analyzing there. Chatting with a woman online at the moment, which feels good. More connection with my intuition lately and trying to listen to it. A red flag is a red flag now and not âhey thatâs interestingâ let alone how interesting and appealing it was when someone showed me a whole parade of red flags. Of course me waving with all of my own red flags from the other side.
Just a little vent after a while of relatively silence and just peeking on here.
Have a blessed day

Nice day, out for a walk with the family. Nap on the couch this afternoon.
Enjoying watching the kids play with their cousins this weekend. Happy to be having another sober evening hanging out with family.
As a plus Iâll be hangover free and able to make it to sparring tomorrow morning.

60 days AF yeaj
Itâs getting easier.
But I know taking it too easy can make me relaps.
Also had hunting thoughts about restrictive dieting or fasting. And that, made me relaps last time in december on 77 days. So, I know, no.
Hugs

Itâs 2:46am local, so itâs now day 63 (alcohol free). At work, just sitting here making sure the place doesnât burn down. No tasks until 4am. Frustrated with the things I cannot change and those things that will take time. Working on the peace. It donât come easy.

Iâm here, Iâm alive and Iâm sober.
Happy Easter.
The boys had their egg hunt this morning.
Of course there was Easter eggs for the parents to,but a bit smaller.
The boys got pretty big Easter eggs so theyâll probably have candy until midsummer now 
Going to make our traditional Easter Pancakes for Brunch right after Iâm done writing here.
And tomorrow weâre going to the lake I was talking about to see the Cranes.
Today is a nice and calm Easter eve. Some egg painting, a little bbq and no drunk relatives to handle.
Wishing you all a wonderful Easter weekend.

@FoxMcCloud Sending you hope, strength and patience friend
@james83 Enjoy your spin class.
@Juli1 Congrats on your 60 days 
Good job being clear on your last trigger!
@Rob11 Thanks for sharing. Your thought process written out like that will definitely help someone else here. Thatâs at least how it works for me: Seeing myself in the mirror of otherâs experiences.
@Just_Laura I admire your power
@Mno Get well soon 
@K_S Congrats on 100!!! days I hope you find the right meds for you soon 
@Whereswaldo Your yard sure looks like a nice comfortable and relaxing place to be 
. Wishing you a peaceful and sober family gathering.
@BJonns Guilt is a very difficult feeling to deal with. We want so badly to get rid of it. I know this sounds very counter intuitive, but you might try compassion for yourself. Compassion for your illness of addiction, compassion for all youâre going through right now, compassion for being human and doing stupid things. Hugs friend
@Lighter Very glad to read youâre finding a home here with us

After yesterdayâs very enlightening but somewhat atrocious experiment with wheat I need to give my poor body a rest. Goals for today: relax and be very nice to myself.
I really am glad I made this provocation experiment yesterday with wheat flour. The symptoms are crystal clear but today I have to suffer through the consequences. The night was exhausting, I woke up with a massive headache, abdominal and joint pain, very bad mood, anxious, tired, and just feeling like a wreck. But: I donât feel bad about it.
The psyche is a fascinating thing. If all these symptoms were the consequence of me giving in to urges and bingeing, I would on top of all of it descend into guilt and self pity. Now I just feel like crap, know this will change, and am moving on. This life is so much better
Today Iâm going to take all the time in the world to heal. Whatever is going on for you today: Take your time friends
