68 days sober
Iām feeling really proud of myself for this week. I followed my plans to keep myself well and despite having 2 days where I couldnāt get internet to get on here I still kept to my plans and did well. In the end I had relatively low anxiety, got all my work done well and had a good time. There was 1 day where I had a bit of a struggle but it was short lived and didnāt make my mood go down for the rest of that day. Iām feeling really tired out now. My brain feels tired and like it needs a bit of a break. Iāll be traveling tomorrow and hoping that goes well then I can have a day off to rest.
Hope everyone is having a good sober day. 
Had a beautiful sunset here tonight

Day 102
Things are going ok. I feel like Iām finally able to get healthy, now. Past the torturous insomnia at last. It was pure shit for 90 days! Anxiety went with it, this dread. Gone now. Iām so glad itās gone. I couldnāt function.
Iām sure Iāll have the odd night but not every night like it was. So my mind and body are much stronger. I can make decisions that arenāt trash 
. Iām starting to write again. Working on new plans.
Iām changing careers completely. But taking some of what I know to a new field. It transfers. I was up in the Ozarks and it was beautiful there, just like the show. 
(The people were fine, actually! Friendly and kind). And going through the woods to an overlook over a beautiful river valley I got an idea. I donāt have to sit behind a desk, I can do something healthier. Iām just not made for that life. So Iām going to be a bear counter. 
Iām sorta kidding but not. Working on fitness now that I can sleep. Sobriety has great things in store for me. My life is starting to change, as promised. It will take time but Iām seeing things change now.

Congrats, Drew! I hope the dreams ease up now that youāve made this milestone. Iāve been having some recently, too, and I havenāt had many at all before now. Itās just pretty annoying, isnāt it. I hope youāre celebrating your 3 years and doing something special in honor of your dedication!

Day two hereā¦. Physically feeling completely fine. Just still having the shame and sadness and anxiety.
Itās funny because right now, I feel zero desire to drink. I wish I never started back at Christmas because I felt SO good. But we can wish in one hand and sh*t in the other and guess which fills up quicker 
Anyhow, Iāve reached out to close friends and am going to a playdate for our children at chick fil a this evening. Sober and grateful and feeling optimistic š©·

I actually found a job offer that would be in the Arctic counting penguins. 6 months no internet and no modern conveniences. I am way too old today but sounds interesting.
Glad you are finding your way.
