Just had engineers come out … My carbon monoxide alarm was going off. They capped it all off (gas meter and boiler) and said an air sweep needs to be done for safety.
I was ready for bed 2 hrs ago and had to emergency call out. The boiler is in my son’s room where the alarm was going off.
I don’t think il be able to sleep ![]()
Checking out Day 125 AF
Today was much more enjoyable. Out on road doing repairs to street. Had a fun time of it. I can see road crew work being hot as hell though in summer, but for a weight loss tool, woo boy it should be great. Add into that the 6 properties to take care of, as long as I watch my food consumption (which has been on point) it should rock along.
Like I mentioned the gym has suffered a bit, but it’s top of mind to get down there once I’m not doing 12-15 hour days… which I have all week.
Feeling good but tired now, off to bed for a 4am wake up call, though I’ve woken before the alarm every day this week…
Good night all!!

Checking in on day 197.Hope everyone is well!
2y2m25d
Evening check in… day was super good! I had a killer leg workout. Came home, ate well, and went on my zoom mtg for work. Increased my water intake today and ate a well portioned supper. I also got everything planned out for my sons field trip tmrw. I am attending as a volunteer to help out with the class but will also be there to assist his school nurse in anything medical related. Im super excited to go with him
I also did a health review today and sort of planned what my goals are moving forward and how i will achieve them. I think i needed to refocus myself. I feel like i sort of got side tracked for awhile. But im back on track now! Ya thats about it for today. Just gonna put my son to bed, shower, and relax until the nurse arrives for her shift. Have a great evening everyone ![]()
Impressive number friend!
Day 25
Not doing great today, but not terrible.
Everythings pissing me off today. Been feeling very spent, socially, and my threshold for interacting with people has been way lower than normal the past few days. Just want to be left alone. Have had a headache all day for whatever reason, and it won’t go away. Feeling guilty for not working out on a consistent basis, but have no motivation to do anything about it today, which is just making me feel even more guilty. But i feel so stressed out and burnt out, i just want to be allowed to have some time for myself and to just do nothing.
Still grateful for a lot of things today. Was supposed to work today, but I got the day off, and the same goes for tomorrow. Grateful for that time to have to do what I want to, and what I need to. Also spent a lot of time outside today which was nice. Was kind of hoping being outside and having a couple extra days off work would help me feel better mentally, but for some reason my mood just isnt budging.
Stocked up on more n/a drinks because some of my family drank a lot of them which was also a source of irritation. Realistically i cant be mad at them, im glad I was able to share with them, and we do live in the same household afterall. Just frustrating because it was a small thing I did for myself to treat myself, and to help me get through not drinking, so it kind of struck a nerve that I spent money on these drinks and didnt even get to try all of them. But it is what it is, and I bought more. Also ordered a mini fridge for my room, so im looking forward to using that, and being able to organize it exactly how I want, without anyone else touching it or making a mess of it. Still have to make space for it though, which is another task that needs to be done. There’s always something. But ODAAT I guess.
Hitting the pillow sober on a crappy day and with a headache is a HUGE victory Zoe!!
There were many days in my early sobriety I had zero motivation. None! As long as I didn’t drink. I was winning.
Keep up the great work. Very inspiring share.

I hope tomorrow is better. At least you won’t be starting off with a hangover.

Woke up not feeling well. I have no idea how much of the festival I’ll manage to attend. At least it’s just a short walk away and I’m staying in a comfy place.

This sentence under it from TS fits.
I like it.
I like being sober.
After all my trials the last 2 years and times of sobriety, I realy choose this life for me!
Now it’s about working on recovery, odaat.
My mood is good ![]()

Started my writing routine of perspectives how I want to c me and the world again.
It is a bank holiday, I will just get myself dressed after meditation and then try my bike about the tire pressure for a short round, breakfast and head to the outdoor pool for a longer session. In the afternoon mum and I will have a Spanish siesta lunch (papas arugadas, mojo, squid and salad!).
Sun is ON ![]()

Day 71
It went well on the dentist, didn’t expect anything else either the boys never had dental problems. 14 y/o won’t need braces after all I’m happy for him. And he is even more happy. (I had one for years)
Both the 12 y/o and the 14 y/o still have some baby teeth left so the dentist booked another appointment after the summer vacation to check on that.
Today we’re going to another Folk Dance event around lunch.
Weather forecast says it’s going to rain. But I don’t mind as long as it’s accurate for next weekend (Sunny and + 18 C) which will give us amazing weather for the season Opening day of the Old Western/Wild West theme park.
Wishing y’all a wonderful day ![]()

it was a really nice ride yesterday, even when the first half was a bit boring with too many big roads, ugly commercial areas and traffic. Once I got into the Rhine/Meuse delta area and beyond it was beautiful. Also learned that taking ferries gives me a nice natural break from riding, where my natural tendency is to keep going until I can’t no more. Maybe a good lesson.
Today it’s sunnier, but I’m not going to do much. It’s a holiday so it’s going to be crowded out there, in town with tourists, and on the country roads with elderly couples on their e-bikes. Have as good a day as you all can friends. Sober and clean. I will. Love from the ferry across the Lek.
@AyBee Huge congrats friend. I’m still following you.
@TheWolf A full year is one of the true huge milestones. Enormous congrats!
@HolySquid 14 months already! Yay you!
@Juli1 Julia!!! 100!!! Hurrah!!! Excellent work lady. Keep building yourself a life you don’t want to run from Big congrats.
@JennyH ODAAT for all of us Jenny. Glad you’re here.
@EarnIt Recognizing all the negativity anjd why we do it is already a big step. I’d say it’s 50% of my therapy time in the last months, identifying and talking about negative self talk and where it comes from. It helps. Hugs.
@CHASE.E.U I used to think that all I needed was me for 50+ years. But now I know I need connection. I didn’t find it in na either. I did find it here, I do find it in my work, I do find it in totally unexpected places. indeed smart recovery might be an option, or dharma. Or find something totally different. Life is change and in flux. Just don’t go it alone. Isolation means death. And you’re not alone friend. Hugs.
@SadMemeQueen It’s always good to see you Megan. And damn it lady, you’ve come a long way! Beautiful numbers there.
Day 56. 8 weeks. Had dinner with a friend last night which was good (and sober).
Day 320. Off till next week. Wife in alot of pain. Been to a and e. Nothing showing up in her bliss etc. Waiting for rheumatology in June. Could be muscular? Is just causing her immense pain.
I remember a trapped nerve in my back at one point and I was hobbling around like an old man. I couldn’t put my socks on. But it passed.
Horrible to see someone in pain.
Waiting to hear back from the doctors and then the rheumatologist in June. Which all seems way off
