You get congrats from me on every platform, this one being where I had the great pleasure of meeting you and getting to know you, my amix. You have been such an important part of my own recovery, life, well being, however you want to call it. I’m just grateful for you and your friendship, your inspiration for me to work on myself and seek a life that makes me fulfilled, following your example. I’m happy to celebrate this quinquennium with you from afar with a toast of my finest sparkling water with lemon and a piece of lemon cake. I don’t usually go for cake but this is a good one. I hope you can feel my big mama hugs from afar. Much love, amix.

Quinquennium!
I did not know that word before I awoke today. I’m used to my brain and linguistic abilities declining, so this is refreshing … 
Thank you for that…hahaha

Im craving wine so much right now 
There is no particular reason, its just my shitty mood.
I had 10k race today morning but I was late so I couldn’t join. I was looking forward to this run for some time cause my last 10k wasnt a good one and I wanted to prove myself I can do better. Well, I proved myself indeed. Its not the end of the world but it put me in that “what a loser I am” mode and I started eating and now I feel bad cause I ate tons of unhealthy high processed food. Double loser. Now I’m stuffing myself even more with food cause then I don’t think about that fucking wine. What a mess.

You’re here and sharing about it. Preventing you from getting that stupid bottle that would make it all so much worse. Good you’re here. Good days and bad ones. Drinking never helps with anything. Hugs friend. We should have coffee some day soon.

Hey Joe - just sending best wishes for your wife. That’s got to be difficult, and I hope everything is calmer and easier for her now. It’s hard to switch doctors if you have any kind of medical condition. They often don’t agree with each other, and it’s frustrating to have sudden med changes thrown at you after a move! Good luck with the search for a decent local doc; glad you bought some time.

Day 152 Alcohol Free
Day 1 nicotine free
Hey all, happy Saturday. Hope everyone is keeping at it, no matter what moving forward and staying clean and sober ODAAT!
I am.doing well, trying to balance life. Reminding myself.my recovery comes first no matter what and checking in (this app/ my sponsor/others in recovery/meetings and most importantly my higher power and myself are paramount!) I have started a secound job …every other weekend overnights and a child and youth mental health facility. By the grace of God I go one day at a time. I am trying to start over again financially and clean up the wreckage from my past (i.e…my debt from my ex etc…although I didn’t have strong boundaries in place so I’m reaping the consequences) grateful to be working and.moving forward.
Had to reset my nicotine timer although it was only one ciggarette have to be honest and start the counter over. Regardless I’m proud of me, of us ever day clean/sober is a win…back at it tonight so.will relax, hang with my crew today. By the grace of God I go. Happy 24 all

Hey Foxy congratulations on 12 days that is awesome!!! I can relate to the feelings of loneliness …I find it gets better over time. Important to connect to others when your feeling isolated ie meetings, this app etc. So glad you are here! Thanks for the beautiful quote Blessings to you!!!

I have a really hard time waking up early too. When I worked 6am-2pm(10+ years ago), it took a while to get used to it. Eventually I turned into a morning person and loved it! (short lived, as I work evenings now and get out around the time I used to go to bed 
)
Consistency is key. Figure out what bedtime feels like the right amount of sleep and stick to it every night. Get up with your alarm (no snooze buttons!) and get moving. The faster you limber up, the faster you wake up. You’ll find a routine that works

2nd check in … Very happy I came to this birthday party. It’s a sober party with amazing food and festivities.
I learned that, I need to stop putting negative expectations on things. I was blinded by my thought process around the drive. The drive was awesome, took a toll highway so no traffic.
This is a really awesome day! Enjoy everyone!
