Easy like Sunday morning! It’s a chill day planned just some yardwork and summer prep. Decided to not go to work yesterday which I haven’t done in about 5 years. My shop is open M-F but I go in weekends to catch up on paperwork or finish jobs. It’s a beautiful day here so will try to enjoy the fresh air. Happy Sunday people!

That’s really brutal indeed @Just_Laura That’s not how you motivate your stuff. I’m sorry.
Congratulations on your 444 days.
Hope summer is going to be fun for you anyway

The sun came out for 3 consecutive hours! It was glorious. Met friends for coffee and everyone was happy. Then the clouds came rolling back and everyone went home 
. That’s all right. Just a couple more days. I’m ready for a movie. Early night and hopefully a quieter one. Noisy weather during the day, yes.
Enjoy your sober day or night

70 days. Heading strong. It funny that 70 is the longest I have gone in a long time but yet it still feels like I dont have that much time under my belt. Now that I have some good sobriety. I need to continue to try to implement things into my life that pursue true healling and freedom and peace.

@Mno In the 9 years I’ve been at my job, we’ve changed management a few times with minimal issues. Our current manager was hired and started the day she graduated college, at 21 years old. The fact of the matter is that studying something is not the same as experiencing it, and she ignores the experienced people who are just trying to help for the sake of the establishment as a whole. Very stubborn 
@Seb There’s been a couple times I’ve had thoughts like that. Not actually wanting to drink, but remembering how I would in whatever situation I was in. Usually where it was commonplace for anyone to drink. It felt a little weird thinking about it, but I knew it wasn’t a craving. Just more of a reminiscing feeling. Glad you were able to acknowledge it and let it pass by
@Olivia Glad you can see it from my POV, bc I didn’t think I was over exaggerating. Honestly, I’m not too familiar with labor laws. One I believe, is that when someone’s schedule says ‘on call’, legally they must be notified one way or another at least 72 hours before said shift, but I’m sure there’s stipulations. Another law I know for sure is that if you show up to your shift and aren’t needed, they must pay you for 3 hours regardless. Before her, we all stayed until the work was done. Or the people who came in first, got to leave first. Now she just randomly chooses who stays and goes and it rarely makes sense. This hasn’t affected me too much, yet, but I think I will read up on some laws for the sake of my coworkers.

Check out Day 121 AF
Busy day, completed two acreage’s properties, in about 4 hours, home to mow, trim and fertilize my own acre, clean gear, put away, clear out truck, now ready for the start of the new 40 hour job tomorrow morning.
Still have 3 properties to do this week as well. Busy busy busy.
Wife just began a new job at local bar and grill, and only two days training in, they asked if she would take an extra shift tomorrow afternoon to close. So she’s a busy little gal as well!
All I know is the leaves/buds haven’t started full bloom yet, but my yard is looking spectacular 
Haha
Enjoy your eve TS friends, and be well!

@Laner something that used to help quite a lot, was typing them out in my notes app on my phone as soon as I woke from them, to get them out of my head as quickly as possible, I need to start doing that again. I also practice grounding myself when I have my really bad ones, reminding myself what year it is, how old I am, and anything else that brings me back to the present. When my heart is beating too fast I also use breathing exercises to calm myself, where the out-breath needs to be slightly longer than the in-breath.
@Danwood85 thank you and congrats on 2 weeks 
@Butterflymoonwoman thank you I’m glad you’re feeling better 🩵
@JazzyS thank you I hope the sting and your head stop hurting asap
@CleanHeart congrats on 70 days
1364 days no alcohol.
829 days no cocaine.
344 days no vape.
5 days no binge-eating.
Today I woke early, caught-up here, meditated, and read some poetry.
This afternoon I went for my walk.
This evening I watched last night’s episode of Britain’s Got Talent. I also managed to watch an episode of the program I’d been avoiding due to feeling like I couldn’t watch it without bingeing crisps.
I hope you’ve all had wonderful sober weekends.

Hope you all have a wonderful addiction free day / evening - sending you all so much love

Hey thanks for checking on me thats awesome. I am at 42 days today. My fiance got sentenced last week on some charges from 2022 and has to be gone a year so that sucks. Other than that i am all in on NA wnet and volunteered at a charity event yesterday to raise money for the fellowship hall. Mext weekend we have my home groups bbq. I never thought i would have this much fun sober. It hurts to be away from my fiancee so bad but i am just going to take the time to better myself.

Back to work. I’ve got an easy and nice looking week ahead, two days of experiential expertise work, three days off, work the weekend after that. Weather looks nice too. Weather was so beautiful yesterday I couldn’t stay in so I did a little town walk and visited the Jewish cemetery that reached its capacity in 1914 and has been slowly decaying ever since. Some volunteers have been working on making it accessible again. Quite a magical piece of nature and history in my city, I never was there before.
I’m going to have as good a week as I can and I expect the same from you friends. Sober and clean or nothing will come of it. Love from Mokum.
