Been a really busy day. Son went off to school and i immediately took the wagon to go grocery shopping. Came home, put everything away, and then off to the gym. Felt sooooo good to be there! I havent worked out in a like 4 days so this workout was really looked forward to. Just going to have some lunch and clean up the apartment a bit. Really not much else going on for today. The weather is beautifully hot out and Im loving every minute of it! Hope youre all having a great day!

@Steve14 @Mno @JazzyS @acromouse @cjp @CATMANCAM thanks for your messages. It was nice waking up to that this morning, it helps so much 
ā¦I had a meeting with my accountant yesterday and he reassured me everything was ok even though Iāve done very little accountancy in 8 monthsā¦itās been playing on my mind so Iām glad Iām dealing with it. Got through a lot at work today, got home and was planning to go to the gym to hopefully give me an energy boost but fell asleepā:joy: Hope youāve all had good day. Day 51ā:v:

Day 74 here.
Just a quick check in before bed.
Went to my usual meeting today and one guy travelled 8 hours in total just to be there.
I absolutely admire his dedication. 
Heās living proof that itās worth it.
Otherwise doing good, showered and shaved so feeling some self love as well.
Goodnight you lovely people.
See you tomorrow and sweet dreams

Delightful June downpours! Cooled off nicely. Thanks @tailee17 for the support! Itās amazing whatās possible, sober. It opens up new realms of trouble for me to get intoā¦haha. Itās bad: when I drink I actually lose all sense of adventure. You just canāt, drinking. Same office, same bars, same backyards. Yet the myth persists thats itās interesting. That sorry life! Iām excited that I have many more options now

I got such happy glowy feelings reading this today. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. I think being let go was a blessing in disguise, for lack of a better term, as I donāt want to be bound to a desk, either, and seek healthier situations for myself. Whether thatās volunteering or in employment. And time outdoors is so valuable to me and my well being, too! I had a down day today but it was okay, not all wasted and I have a few hours to get back outside and do some chores. My poor pup is missing her papa and itās obvious, she jumps at the sound of car doors and is sulking a bit, so a second walk tonight will likely do us both good. I need to enjoy this lovely evening before 90 degree temps show up tomorrow. I guess this post turned into a general one for me, sorry @Lighter!

@wahtisnormal AAH that is a lot to ponder friend. Wish I had the answer. All I can do is keep a positive attitude and have faith that things will get better. We do only have this one life (the one that we do remember)ā¦ so have to find the light through the darkness. 
58 days girl ā look at you go Look forward to celebrating your 2 months shortly.
@mischa84 LOL that Luna is a smart little vixen 
She has surely figured out a way to get what she wants. I am sure it is just a phase ā hopefully it will be over soon. I know a friends daughter had similar issues like that and many tantrums until she started school and had her own friends and social engagements. Much love
@catmancam thank you dear friend. 1400 Days no alcohol 
Iām sorry that they wonāt let you keep up your sessions in the interim time frame. Glad you are going to keep working on your meditations and maybe pop in here more often to connect. I know at one point you were writing yourself letters (speaking kindly to yourself as you do to all of us here)ā¦ maybe restart this and talk out your emotions. You are amazing my friend and I hate to see you dealing with such turmoil. You are loved and most definitely not alone. Please reach out at any time if you feel vulnerable or alone. Sending you loads of love and hugs. I do hope that the psychiatrist reaches out soon (maybe give them a nudge). Great news about the gym ā glad they were able to come up with a solution.
@marinetc6925 Welcome to the community Nick! This is a wonderful community to be a part of. Loads of loving support here. Hope to see you around

@emwiz Welcome to the community Emily! Great to have you here and wonderful job on day 2. I find this place to be an amazing resource for support, advice and also great threads to keep me distracted when the urges hit. You are welcome to check in as often as you want / need. During the early days I was on this site all the time. This place is what has kept me on the path of sobriety. You are not alone 
@danwood85 Glad that all is well with your accountsā¦ I know that can be a source of major anxiety. Sometimes sleep is what is needed and Iām glad you listened to your body. YEAH 51 days and counting
Checking in on Tuesday evening
Been a busy day - got a lot done and i feel fairly good. Had a crazy incident with my car this afternoon where the alarm would not turn off. Both my keys are malfunctioning with the batteries so the FOB hasnāt worked in over a year on either of them. I tried to enter in the security code but that wouldnāt work. Google said to turn on / off car multiple times and that does work but after like 20 times. My neighbors did end up coming by to make sure i wasnāt stealing the car Finally was able to get the windows down and after the 3rd attempt to unlock / lock the door with key manually it finally let up. So much excitement - my head is still pounding.
Gonna try and get some accounting work done while some of my braincells still work.
Wishing everyone a wonderful addiction free day / evening - sending you all so much love

Itās ok! Weāre in similar situations. I will do some volunteering and part-time stuff if I need to. Terrifying and quite fun to pivot. 
. Itās so weird to have audacity sober, and none while drinking. Liquid courage was basically a myth, for me. Living sober is actually living

That is such a good point. Drinking kept me hiding. Being sober helped me find my strength and bravery again. I was at the point of agoraphobic when I was drinking heaviest and tonight I walked my dog in the meadow near my house with no fear. The Catalpa trees are blooming such beautiful blooms - Itās a joy to see the meadow waking up and enjoy it changing with the seasons every day.
