Day 125
…Jasmine and her friends… 
.
Hey everyone,
Not a bad holiday morning. I’m feeling dreamy. That doesn’t happen when drinking. Not real dreams, anyway.
Been having many moments where I have to check myself and only consider, and take the step right in front of me. I’m getting healthy. That’s it.
There’s a vague grand plan that will change shapes. Good enough! Don’t pick up, and get healthy. When I get itchy I can look at maps and read history of the fabulous future place. For a bit. More than anything, stay here now! When I was drinking I lived in a fantasy world. I was not ever there, wherever I actually was. So the same habits want to pop up, anything but here and now…stop. It’s my training ground, it’s sacred. I can’t wish it away or despair. It has lessons for me still. I will leave stronger than today.

I was scrolling through posts here, unbeknownst to me, my 5yr old was peering over my phone from behind… He just said aloud ‘Im gonna have poop time with friends’ 
Well I hope you have a lovely day together, and I hope you’re feeling better today. Lots of love and hugs to you my friend

Day 950
Feeling good. I know i’ve been distant and not around for a bit. Been a mixed reason why I’ve not checked in, been supporting the family of a colleague who sadly passed away whilst driving to work, difficult enough to accept any time but factor in he was only 26 makes it even more of a tragedy so in my personal time I’ve just been making memories with my kids and wife.
Main thing is I’m still here and concentrating on the one thing I have the power to change…….myself.
I wish you all a happy, healthy and sober day.

Hi,
Yes, grounding meditation and breath work is in order 
. It’s good to have goals and strive, but I have to break it down or I become anxious. And miss today.

Day 5 check in 
Tomorrow I have plans to see a comedy show with a friend. I’m planning on getting whatever is non alcoholic for the 2 drink minimum but my brain is saying “2 drinks won’t hurt”. I know it can cost me everything. I don’t understand this bargaining aspect of sobriety. Why do I always think I have discipline?! And, trust me for a month I will and blackout central will come a calling. I’m doing the work, I just want to change that narrative in my head. I just want it to click like never ever again can we drink. We’ll ruin everything and everyone close.

Checking in 128. I was so looking forward to hubby coming home for long weekend. Last week was no conflict and wonderful. Already this morning I have been called an idiot and I make his life miserable. Therapist thinks I should end marriage. Sponsor thinks I should end marriage.
The big book says hold out hope sobriety and love will overcome!!Maybe I am a foolish idiot but I will not give up. I am where I am suppose to be and personally doing great. Health (losing fat) Mind clear. I am being responsible for the first time in my life.

Alcohol day 1786
Binge eating day 3
Im finding the binge eating a difficult thing not to do I maybe need to spend more time on the forum for it , it’s election here today and in the north of Ireland it’s mostly about what religion you are who you vote for which is a sad state of affairs in opinion and it’s the only time you’ll see a politician 
anyway I stop watching news and stuff a few years ago because I found it very negative on my thinking and haven’t looked back since , I’m still enjoying dipping into my cold plunge pool everyday although I haven’t done so yet today
Hoping everyone has a good day and happy Independence Day to all the Americans in the forum
