I checked in earlier but I came back to share the happiest news that my 7, almost 8 year old nonverbal autistic child said all of the planets in order today for the first time ever! I wish I could share the video because it is so precious but heās not wearing a shirt in it and I donāt think that would be allowed on here. You can hear the pure excitement in my voice and his adorable giggles and excitement on his face at my reaction 
I hope this is the start of him trying to talk. 
he has the sweetest little voice. Heās tried to copy little words here and there just starting this year but never anything like this I was in disbelief!
I at least attached a photo of him currently in bed snuggled up with his planet book that he was pointing at while saying each planet

What a weird dream I had. All the time chasing cigarettes and being angry at my family (sister, cousins) that nobody have some, although they all smoking.
That remind me that about a year ago I was still smoking this shit. I was smoker since i was 14, with some breaks in between. I stopped while pregnancies and breastfeeding but about 1,5 years ago started again and it stayed with me few months. I donāt care about smokes right now, I totally forgot I was a smoker. Now I hate cigarettes. Such a disgusting thing.
This dream reminds me about something else - I have a sister 
She is 5 years older than me and lives in London. We never were super close but lately itās crazy how little contact we have. She seen Sacha once! only when we both were in Poland and twins not at all. I know I could visit her too but with all my gang is difficult and expensive. Her daughter is adult. Itās weird that my kids donāt even know they have aunt, that their mommy has a sisterā¦
Iām gonna talk with her today, I donāt like the way it is now. Iām sure she feels the same way (I hope).
Well, itās 6:22am here, time to get out of bed. Anybody else like to read some TS after waking up or only Iām that addicted to you?

Man, I havenāt been able to be very active lately. I do read thru everything before allowing myself to post for the day, which is a weird rule I made for myself 
Lately Iāve had to squeeze in reading here and there so not to get too far behind. I wish I could respond so much more than I do but donāt always have the time. It is great to see so many active in this thread 
I never used it when I originally joined but, upon returning, decided I needed to be accountable. So thanks for being here and reading about my (boring) life, as well as sharing yours with me. It helps me more than you know 
Well, I definitely caught up on some obviously needed sleep these past few days. A couple nights ago when I said I was going to bed, I was planning to finish 9 minutes of a show first but I didnāt even make it. I woke up on the couch 2 hours later! I never fall asleep on the couch at night(at least not since being sober). Then I slept til my alarm, fell back asleep while waiting for the bus alarm, layed back down for 3 more hours, had lunch and a shower and napped for another hour before school was out! 14 in total! Last night, after all that sleep, I was still tired early and got a full 8 hours, 2 more before work, and 1/2 hour after! Crazy amount of sleep for me. Everything from the past week finally caught up (with some added pms fatigue). Totally cool with it 
and all the crazy vivid dreams that came with it. Itās silly to find sleep entertaining in that way! Anyway, Iām off to bed

Good idea to speak with your sister. If thereās no real reason for the silence then donāt let it last! I donāt speak to one of my younger sisters. She wonāt forgive the fact that I donāt see my alcoholic father any more because heās a waste of my time and energy. Iām the eldest so dealing with his shit always fell to me.
I often start my day with coffee and TS. For me itās become a great support first thing in the day to see so many others out there making the same choices for their own sake too.
Have a great day everyone. Oh and: day 29.

@Just_Laura You canāt keep up with all that is going on here. Itās just too busy 
Iām glad to hear you finally have gotten there much needed sleep.
@wahtisnormal Great job 
You did it! You got through this one awful day. Make it stick. If only for today. Sending you strength and kindness for today.
@Mischa84 Active TS morning addict here 
I used to wake up with all kinds of gloomy thoughts. Not anymore. Now my brain has to think about posting in a foreign language. I hope you and your sister will have a nice get together soon. My daughter loves her uncle.
@Lainenicole96 Thanks for sharing this miracle with us. He looks so happy 
@Mira_D The heart is where the hearth burns brightly
@john_connor1337 Nice to see your journey here with us 
@DanaM56 I find itās always a tricky thing to navigate, how much time Iāll spend with my family/partner and how much with others.
@Seb Congrats on 60 days 
@Mali Youāre back here. Well done Anything you could do differently next time? Choose a different coping strategy in a difficult situation?
@Elisabeth Nice to meet you here

Today I will honour my satiety and hunger signals.
I finished the current chapter in my game design studies about dramatic elements yesterday. Today Iām thinking about doing a recap. I donāt necessarily feel like starting anything new on a Friday. Iāll see whatāll come up.
There are groceries to be done today, some chores. I want to get on the rower in the afternoon.
Iām not sure about the evening. This will be my first evening truly all by myself. My daughter will be at my motherās and thatās the first weekend without my husband around here. Maybe Iāll go out? Maybe clubbing? Iām not sure.
However the day may unfold, Iām not going to use food, eating or other unhealthy behaviour to deal with it. Not interested.
For you my friends I wish a day of peace, kindness and freedom

Beginning of Day 24 
Off to the vets at 11am with stewy (cat).
Hopefully everything is okay but I feel his not himself. So a check up will be helpful.
Day off from all everything and just going to do the vets trip, shops for something nice for dinner and then just take it easy.
And enjoy the day.
Have a great day everyone I will catch up this afternoon once I know my stewy is okay

Last day off before back to work tomorrow. Went for a swim with the wife. Its cool because she is a good swimmer and it gives me something to work at.
Have been nursing the calf muscle last few days, have a fitness assessment at work tomorrow so hopefully it holds up. The assessment itself will be no problem but donāt want to aggravate the injury and set the recovery back a few days/week.

I hope Stewy is all right 
Enjoy your day.

Hi guys! Checking in with 744 days 
I wanted to reach out and say hello again. Iāve been fairly strong in my sobriety, still having those little waves of cravings from time to time. But filling my cup in other ways. My husband and I started running together, which has been really hard but really rewarding. Weāve been running along the coast with the sunrise, chuckling to ourselves about how all of our mornings used to be hungover and terrible and how wonderful it feels to enjoy our health now. If someone told us a few years ago we would be early morning runners we would have laughed at them
Still crocheting a lot, working, I even cut my work week to 4 days a week which has been so great!
Looking forward to reading and catching up on the threads. Iāll post some of my crochet and running snaps in the threads

I loved creative writing class again last night. Even when there were only three participants. I might end up with private lessons
. Some more writing today. And maybe a shortish bike ride in the afternoon. Weather seems nice enough. Will see. Have as good a day as you all can friends. Sober and clean. Love.
@Seb Right on Sebastian!
@Elisabeth Always room for more friend! Welcome to the thread!
@Twizzlers Success with the vet visit friend.
@Mischa84 Hope youāll have a good chat with your sis.
@Thumper1213 Those are the most satisfying ones in the end Billy. Good days and bad ones. Using never helps.
@Alycia Great to see you Alycia! Thanks for dropping in and giving us an update!

Hi all, I am behind after a busy day yesterday, have tried to read everything though. Checking in on Day 19. Just trying to cling to the last moments of peace and coffee in bed. I love the slow starts the school holidays brings to my mornings.
Have a good day everyone, thank you for being here

@Juli1 belated congrats on 70 days 
and belated happy birthday 
love what you said about not reacting, so true. That cat looks beautiful 
@JazzyS yep, and I already waited 3 years whilst the doctor kept reassuring heād made the referral (he hadnāt), so I had to start again. Thank you friend, I do really hope to be back on track from today š©µ Iām glad to read youāre doing a bit better mentally, and that you pushed for an appointment Iām also glad you were able to get some relief from your back pain 
@Davina_Davis thank you, Iām really not looking forward to going back for a filling on the 22nd 
@Chuckie22 I am so sorry 
sending you strength today š©µ
@acromouse thank you, I will try to plan something for after my filling on the 22nd, that will really not be a nice experience plus I have a therapy session directly before it so Iāll already be feeling vulnerable.
@Lile01 good to see you checking-in feel better soon š©µ
@Lighter congrats on 40+ days so glad you are feeling some hope too š©µ
@Lotusflower sending you strength š©µš«
@maxwell congrats on triple digits 
so glad you stuck with it š©µ
@Teresa.13 congrats on 2 years AF 
and on 1.5 years smoke-free
