@Cjp thank you! @rookie congrats on 47 days AF! I suffer with allergies all year pollen is super bad down here in Louisiana, my truck is covered! I hope youāre in position to get the best nights sleep!
Day 101!! Been in the car with the wife and kids. We came out of town, we used to live here and miss it so much, but all of our family is where we live now, thatās the reason we moved back to our hometown. Went saw Kung Fu Panda 4 with the boys, then took boys to Elevation Station, of course they didnāt want to leave either place. About to head out and pick up pizza. Overall, today was a good day. I remember days where I couldnāt stand to be in the car with wife and kids, I would always be in a funky mood, wanted to always stay in isolation.
Anyway, Iām happy, Iām at peace, I enjoyed the day with my family, without me having to be drunk to have a good time. #ODAAT
Isnāt that a cleaner? Thatās all I think about when I see that number.
Woke up drenched in sweat this morning. I dreamt I was in a beverage store, and I mustāve been shopping for a party bc my cart was overflowing with cases of beer and kegs. I pay, and on my way out I sneak a couple deuces of hard lemonade into the cart, thinking to myself āI wonder if theyāll notice, or if the theft censor will go off ā It did, but I kept walking, ignoring the clerks. They started yelling over the loudspeaker in the parking lot but I kept loading my car pretending I didnāt hear. I started getting really nervous and then they were running out of the store towards me andā¦I woke up. Didnāt feel much like a drinking dream. More like a klepto dream Weird.
Ugh, my back do be hurting. A lot of heavy lifting for the Easter setup. Luckily there were only 2 tables for dinner so we got out earlier than I expected. I didnāt get to my Easter stuff bc I really just didnāt want to do anything before work, but itās not really a lot. Iāll have time after work tomorrow before getting my daughter. Maybe Iāll start some tonight. I have some time before I should go to bed. Gotta be up extra early Blah.
Hope everyone has a great day! Happy Easter to those celebrating
The final work day before my holidays starts is here! And because the first train to Utrecht rides an hour later on Sundays I didnāt have to get up and hour early because of our clocks going forward tonight. I also was in bed very early because of the crazy Saturday I had at work. Hoping for an easier day there today. Will see. I do feel better this morning. My cold seems gone, Iām rested, my headspaceās not bad either.
Have as good a day as you all can friends. Sober and clean. I will. Love.
@Amy30 Big hugs too you friend. One day at a time. Good and shitty ones x. @JennyH Hoping this day will be better than the last Jenny. Know drinking will never help with anything. Hugs. @Lile01 @Twizzlers @Lotusflower Big congrats on 200 cocaine free days Des! Thatās huge! @Just_Laura Hoping rest will help with your back friend. Be well.
Wishing everyone of us as best of a day as possible, free from the substances and behaviors of choice ā¦
Wishing all of us to be around people who are nice to us and pleasantā¦.
Best health possible.
Sunny skies, and sunny spirits if the skies are darkā¦.
Nice Easter celebration to those celebrating.
Nice spring and nice fall day!
Bluebonnets.
The effects of my gluten adventure are still lingering in my body. At least I slept well enough. Took me ages to wake up and everything is still hurting. Apparently this takes time.
Today weāll be at the in-lawsā for cake and coffee. I donāt expect any of it to really trigger me. I already feel like crap and donāt need any of it. Itās usually emotionally exhausting but Iāll get through it. The bike ride will do me good though.
Other then that: turtle mode for today
Stay in peace, kindness and freedom
Easter Bunny was here last night and left Easter baskets for the boys.
Theyāre still asleep, and I think Iām more excited than they are for when they will wake up and see what theyāve got.
I love things like this. Moments and holidays when I can create āmagicā and make it feels special.
My 14 y/o who I thought didnāt really notice because of his autism said right before Easter that he loves when we decorate everywhere dor the holidays, it feels so special.
I already know that the 12 y/o loves it, he is super excited about almost everything. So it made my heart really happy to hear that from his big brother as well.
Today weāre planning to go and look at the Cranes, maybe do some fishing and order pizza for dinner. On the boys request.
Iām still a bit on the tired side from the daylight savings time. Felt better when I realized that thereās only a few weeks left to the summer holiday.
But first weāre going to celebrate Easter for two more days. Then Itās Walpurgisnacht, May 1st, Ascension weekend, my cousinās School graduation, the 14 y/o birthday when he actually turns 14. And a few more things to celebrate.
A busy spring, I love it as long as I donāt have to handle any drunk relatives
This is wonderful, thanks so much for replying. I have read twice to really let it sink in. This cold has meant I have been stuck in bed really, but I am re-reading some safe books that I enjoyed. I want to try your other suggestions as I improve.
Happy Easter everyone. Some beautiful messages and pictures here already. I hope everyone has a lovely day.
Checking in on Day 7, which means I will be gifting myself with 1 week when I wake up for my birthday tomorrow
Thank you for all the kind replies and suggestions, I am feeling stronger today. I still donāt have a long term plan but am taking on board all the wonderful suggestions for the next week.
Good morning all! Happy Easter! Checking in on day 121. Up extra early to make it to sunrise service at the beach and get those baskets hidden before I go . Had a great time coloring eggs yesterday, several laughs, love my babies they are truly the best! I hope you all have the most amazing day! and
Happy ! Enjoying an ADHD techno/trance playlist in bath. Just recently discovered them. Now I know why I did put some numbers on repeat and loud in the past. While some spouses were like wtf do you like that, including myselfā¦.. My brain just digs it
Off to sparring this morning then home for a chilled day, resting the kids up for a big evening at the league.
Was an awesome trip to the game, kids loved it and it was a win for our team.
Checking in 90 days AF . I canāt quite believe it I have had some urges to drink this month but i have pushed through. I take each day at a time. Happy sober sunday. I am so happy i found this forum
Congrats to @KellyKelly for 2 years! Thatās awesome @MrFantastik congrats on 120 days, we are on the eve of that 4 months, go team! @Seizetheday congrats on your 90 days! I hope you celebrate yourself today
I really feel tempted to send this picture to my brother in law and claim I took it
Glad to hear you are having a nice Easter Weekend And congrats on the 120!
