Day 60 
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.
What a beautiful day it is

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

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.

Day 8
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!

Love those words Lighter. It’s easy to dream of tomorrow. Do you have any mindfulness techniques that help bring you remain in the present?

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.
