I overdid it today, right at the end. I tackled the rest of the floor space in my daughterâs room. I didnât plan to do it all, but I started and had to finish. We got her new desk in there last and that was what got me. You donât really think about good form when youâre cleaning so my neck and back are feeling it. The only thing is, I pulled everything out into the living room to vacuum really good and we didnât get to go thru any of it so Iâm surrounded by boxes of toys. Itâs a mess, but her room looks great 
Only 1/4 of all this will make it back in. I hope I can get to it after work Thursday bc I donât want to look at it for very long. Anyway, Iâm beat but Iâm hungry so I better have something before bed. Have a great night

Before starting dinner yesterday I had a very upsetting talk with my ex. I had the dinner already there sitting on my table and I was ready to eat. But then some part of me realised: I am not hungry. I was half an hour ago before that talk. But now I was upset, devastated, grieving, angry. All kinds of things. But I was not hungry. I did not experience any hunger signals at this moment. And then it dawned on my, like that lady says in her podcast: anger is not a food group. You can not eat anger, sadness or any other emotion away. So I didnât. I went for a long walk instead and cried a lot. Food can not help with emotions. What a lesson.
Today is a bank holiday in my part of the world. Customary Walpurgis Night and/or May Day. I donât have any plans for today. The weather is great but also a total allergy disaster so Iâm thinking about avoiding the outdoors.
I might try out a new game, spend time with some uninterrupted reading. My ex will pick up our daughter later in the day, I might visit my mother in the afternoon.
Anyways, Iâm curious what the day will bring. Whatever that may be, I wonât try to deal with it with food or any compulsive behaviour.
Have a wonderful day of peace, love, and freedom friends

Whatâs a bank holiday?
Never heard of it before
Do they give out party bags of money or something
Truly never heard of a bank holiday

Itâs a British expression for a public holiday I believe.
The term âbank holidayâ refers to the fact that banking institutions typically close for business on such holidays.

@Lighter congratulations with your 60 days milestone 
Double digits for you @SelfLove_42 and @Mali Such a lovely milestone!!
Well done for choosing sober @Twizzlers , this is how you do it! But it was a close call for you so maybe time to add something extra?
*Day 2051 
12 days before holiday
Having the day off today and going to visit an old town with me aunt. She is the youngest sister of my passed away mother and she looks a lot like her. Itâs feels a bit like home when I see her if you understand what I mean.
The weather is warm today (finally!) so we decided to book a table at a terras tonight to eat out with our kids. This used to be an event including drinking for me. Just a bit at the terras and lots more when I was back home. Not anymore!
Frehs mint tea with some honey it is! 
Picture from my walk a few days ago when the weather was stormy.
Enjoy your day all and letâs add another day sober/clean shall we? We are all just one glass/shot/pill away from disaster, who wanna choose that? Not me!

Have a great day all!

I think part of it was that eating would have calmed me down. And I did not want to calm down. I was so angry and sad and devastated. It just felt like if I calmed down it would eat me from inside out. These emotions needed out very badly.

Day 312. Website works. Added some bits and bobs last night and this morning. Working for my job 8-5 but may pop for a dog walk mid day as at the moment itâs not raining⊠Day 312. I remember how hard it was finally stopping last summer. The amount of false starts or stopsâŠwas ridiculous.
Now tho I have a bit of momentum and time. Just need to stay focused. Have a fab day folks. Stay focused

Iâm here, Iâm alive, Iâm sober and Iâm happy.
Day 63.
Today weâre going to do what we call Maying (Maja in Swedish)
It means that youâll go somewhere nice and have Fika outside for the first time of the year. Or you can stay in your own garden ofc.
And itâs traditionally done at the 1st of May.
We usually goes to our Nature Reserve which is filled with white anemones like in Ronia the robbers daughter movie. Kids call it the Ronia forest.
This year we passed by car yesterday, me and the boys went for a short walk and my husband who couldnât access with his Zimmer walker stayed on the car.
And since the nature reserve itâs not adapted for people who have trouble to move around weâre going to the local playground instead.
Itâs also day of the labor movement here today, so itâs a red day here, most people and kids are having the day off.
Todayâs picture is from yesterdayâs Ronia forest, all the green an white you see on the ground is white anemone flowers.
Wishing you all a wonderful May 1st

Itâs pretty massive for sure and there will never be an oppt to move it, it weighs in at around 850lbs. Iâm going to finish up cleaning and setting gym up before my workout today, perhaps get some pics then? Itâs kinda hard as everything is black so it doesnât stand out
But mostly Iâm sorry to hear of your upsetting call with your ex. I hope you are alright. Sounds as though it may have been something very major. Hopefully the walk helped clear your head a bit or you came to some kind of resolution of sorts as it sounds like it was left in a bad way
Wishing you well and hopefully a better day ahead

What a lovely tradition, Fika outside!! I love May, it feels like spring is really beginning ( well on the Atlantic coast of Canada anyway) and we have turned a corner headed towards summer finally!! Plus itâs my birth month, so thereâs a bias from my end, lol.
I hope you enjoy some more lovely outdoors time Sophie with family.
Have a wonderful Maja!!

Day 603. Maybe is a great record, maybe it is not. The true fact is that I have spent the last 24 hours sober, and I hope the next 24 ones are going to be the same.
This a day by day path, not a question of beating records and, from my point of view I can forget that, I am an alcoholic, I cannot consider myself as a completely recovered normal man.
I am alcoholic, being aware of this is the best way to avoid the booze. At least, the next 24 hours.
Kind regards.

Thank you, Iâm not sure the entire Sweden have this tradition but in our Province and surrounding provinces does have it.
And Because itâs labor day here a lot of Social parties around the country combines that with demonstrations,family activities and local politicians from either the socialism parties or extrem left parties speech.
Early mornings on May 1st is usually Members of the parties matching to The Internationale song (which is the socialism/workers parties lead song)
Holding banners with different political messages.
My grandparents on my father side and my father was very active in the local socialism parties when I was a kid. My father used worked for them at their unions office in Stockholm. One of my first memories is from a 1st of May demonstration with the union.
I remember sitting in my stroller waving a red flag and then when we where going to sing The Internationale and hold up our hand in the air I was to small to reach, so Grandpa put me up on the table so I could reach everyoneâs hands.
One of the last memories I have if my grandpa on my fatherâs side is me walking in the middle of a huge banner holding it together with him because my grandpa who used to do it alone was to weak, but stubborn as no on else, so he walked with us anyway. . It snowed heavily on us.
Later than year he died of a heartattack.
Great memories, however Iâm not involved in any political parties now. And we donât have this kind of activities in my village, itâs the Blue side the Right whoâs in city Hall here.
And theyâre doing a great job, our Mayor is amazing.
My father also had his birthday in May. 
Sorry for the long post, I guess I could go on all day.
