Day 2292…5 months caffine free. I never thought life without caffine was possible. Turns out, I like it a lot.
Last day camping, heading home tomorrow. I really cannot wait to head home tomorrow. No peace and quite this trip. Brother in law, sister in law, grandbaby, and all the kids (with the exception of the youngest) are with us. Generally Ms. Monkey and I get a day or 2 by ourselves before eveeyone shows up.
My peace is sweet but short. I wake up before everyone and find a pine tree to count its pinecones.
Happy Birthday to @CATMANCAM !!!
Checking in day 359. days to go to one year sober, with grateful anticipation and gratitude for the wonderful support of this community.
Chilling in the garden. Might BBQ dinner if not it’s still keabab sticks just be in the oven instead.
Don’t want to put too much pressure on myself when I’m actually out in the garden - not anxious to get out here so much. So il take it easy and just not plan anything and take the day as it comes.
That is the power of the vice. The truck is to take that power away from your addiction and give it to yourself. Hold onto the joy you feel in sobriety. Remind yourself of all the heartache and misery your addiction brings and hopefully with support and faith and vigilance we can stack up the days . Super proud of your efforts my friend… keep going strong
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.
Feeling pretty good. First day off in almost 2 weeks. I find out tonight at midnight if my work goes on strike tomorrow. I’ve got a good “just encase” plan if we do. I feel good about where I am.
I cancelled my premium membership. One of my posts got flagged and deleted. I couldn’t figure out why after reading the guidelines. Even though I love this community, find a ton of value in it… I can’t be complacent to anonymous censorship.
The sun is shining and I’m expecting a good day. Have a great day everyone!
@JazzyS thank you my beautiful friend and sister. You are one who reminds me the beauty of Sober Life.
By the way I wish all my American sober buddies Happy 4th of July!!!
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
