Day 502. This is about my 4th time going back to this post and adjusting the number on the day to start a new post.
Life has been busy! Iâve been really active with the kids and have been prioritizing getting out for solo exercise, too (most days!). Where Iâve gone wrong on many occasions previously, is not prioritizing my holistic health and just focusing on the number itself. It is really not enough to just ânot drink.â. Being successful in sobriety this time is truly a lifestyle.
It brings me to the âtreat myselfâ âreward myselfâ era we live in. On previous occasions, I would reward sober milestones with usually a material thing I wanted or special (usually unhealthy) meal⌠that type of thinking definitely helped me along on my alcoholism journey. âHave a drink, you deserve/earned it.â I am making a whole-hearted effort to invest in my holistic health and that IS the reward. (Future self, please refer to post next time I want Big Mac )
Hope everyone has a great day!

119 days, still sober from alcohol
I wonât go to âthatâ pool tomorrow, itâs rainy and cold and I will joyn my regular indoor pool with 50 m lane in the city where I lived, instead. So I wonât be âin dangerâ. Yesterday evening I was in the one outdoor âout in nowhereâ and it was quite nice, good set, someone with my pace aside and some socialization 
So long from the pool side lol.
Tonight I had my new yoga class and struggled so much with being bored. I noticed my thoughts. I felt displaced. HmâŚ
Which lesson is this?
Met niece today and she told me one hour about the problems with her friends from school and her feelings. I just love her so much.
Much love

Checking in day 148 AF 
. Today would always be a huge excuse to get blackout drunk as its 6 years since my dad passed away.
Today i have had a lovely meal instead and thought about all the memories i have and that heâd be so proud of my sobriety as he struggled and fought so hard to beat this terrible addiction.
Iâm not only doing this for me but all the people that lost there battle to this terrible disease.

Today was a good day but i think i overdid it. I went to the gym and struggled thru it. I just didnt seem to have enough energy to really have a good workout. Then went to pick up the remaining ingredients for my sons cake. Came home to clean and then had my mtg. I increased my food intake today bcuz i was feeling moody and fatigued. Even a little light headed. Not what i like to feel.
I got a cupcake order today also for end of June. 2 different themes of fondant cupcake toppers. So that will be fun! Lots of baking going on next month. Now just looking forward to a nice shower and a good sleep. Have a great night everyone!

Day 45
Past couple days have been interesting. Was my passed fiances birthday so that was sad, but went to my first music festival sober (just for a few hours) and even though the person I was most excited to see canceled their set, still had a good time overall. Dont think i even had an urge to drink while I was there, tbh. At least not any noticeable urges.
Worked today. Just been feeling kind of bleh lately. But thats better than full-on depressed I guess 
Have fallen off track with my eating and exercise. Need to get back on that. Might try to do that tonight. I just wish there were more hours in the day, man. Thereâs never enough time for everything.
Just had an urge to drink but i think its already gone after typing all of this. I also want to try to make some art tonight if theres time.
Hope everyone is doing well

Checking in 93 days behind me. Feeling good and have gotten into running again. Just ran my longest run ever by more than double last week so I am super proud of that. Had some hiccups with my wife but we have been talking through things and sobriety has remained so I am very happy with that. There is some shame that I feel tempting me but trying to see it all as a learning experience. Hope everyone is well!
