Lol i am very fortunate that i live in a area where you dont get a bullet shot at you for stuff like that. Well atleast thenā€¦now days my town is very different, lots of people arrested for smuggling high power rifles and hand guns.

Day 101

Thank you for all the shout outs :heart:. The trips feel great!

Something happened around 90 days, everything shifted. And not in a fresh hell way, the other way. It doesnā€™t feel like super early sobriety anymore. Itā€™s calmer, steadier. Gaining a little confidence. Iā€™m getting healthier. Iā€™m more comfortable in my own skin because itā€™s actually me, not some weird toxic creatureā€¦ And further away from all the accoutrements of that life I had, you know? Iā€™m ready to start a new one. Maybe it will involve traveling. :luggage: :thinking:. Itā€™s wide open right now and Iā€™m so grateful I got the monster off my back because it kept me down and stuck.

Happy 9 months Julia.

Lots of love, enjoy your days

@PaigeTurner condolences on your loss. The year anniversary can bring up many emotions. Grateful that you are able to work through your feelings. Grateful that you are sober and working on your recovery and I can relate to mourning all the lost time we gave to our addictions. Grateful that we are no longer bound to those chains and have a chance to fully enjoy life on lifeā€™s terms. :people_hugging::people_hugging:

Checking in 104 days sober today
Physical Therapy today after 2 1/2 drive to get there
Drive is always a challenge as I am a sitting target to be told how awful I am and I do nothing good for relationship.

I have prayed and praying before I get into the car to God to bring peace to me mind and environment.

Just not drinking is never enough.

May all you stay strong and have a great day.

Day 36
Meet Jack. We met one night on Halloween at a tattoo party while drinking many Jack and cokes. I had a hole in my jeans and decided to give myself a tat. I have quite a few ā€œdrunk tattoosā€ on my body. Anytime I wear shorts he tells the world hello. My tats are great conversation starters lol. Happy to be sober today!

Day 143.
Last time inebriated by alcohol was in January.
My 13.5 month old daughter just finally started to sleep well and consistently at night in the last 2 weeks.
This combination of being sober for a long time, and getting decent sleep has me experiencing brain fog lifting, and I have better stamina to push through my days. So glad to be finding this.

Better late than never for quitting booze!

Day 36 :white_check_mark:

I donā€™t know why I feel like this but I feel like my whole life needs a do over. IV failed at everything and I need to just change everything and be different.
I feel ov wasted my life and now itā€™s too late.
Mid life crisis?

I donā€™t know.
All I know is sober is how it gets better.
I feel like every thing needs changing everything is wrong.
