Checking in at the end of day 40. @Danwood85 congratulations on 2 months
Good day today. Am getting back to the gym. Iāve had this membership for over a year and barely used it. Today I did 30 minutes of weights and 30 minutes cardio. It felt good.
Long day, but not too bad. When I have to wake up earlier than usual, I know going to bed early wonāt make me magically fall asleep, so I donāt even bother. I did sleep deeply, the 5 hours I had, and woke up ready to go
As usual, our boss made us look incompetent without even being there. Itās becoming so common, complaints are coming in about poor service. Itās really frustrating We donāt know what to do anymore.
I crashed after work, so luckily my daughter wanted to play at a friends and I could lay down. Afterwards, I didnāt feel like doing anything, but decided we should get out of the house. Had dinner outside by the canal where there was a car show, live music, and a playground. Good decision Off to bed now to rest up for another weekend
I woke up earlier than usual and attended an online AA meeting. I didnāt have enough time to hear the sharing because I had to go to the office today. I arrived at the office and had a black coffee. Today is Friday and the weekend is coming; I need to stay strong during those days.
Life is going well. Problems come and go, but when Iām sober, I feel confident in overcoming any issues.
Day 2102
It was a good day yesterday.
Worked hard during crossfit and dicovering I can do more weight lifting then a month before, thatās progress. Visithing my friend in the hospital who is doing a bit better after a stroke.
She has been in the hospital many times and has a frail healt but still positive always.
So if Iām irritated because of my temporary hearing loss I think of her.
It was nice to see Aga and Menno yesterday. Always fun to see the people in real life behind the internet. We had a good time together and nice Italian food
Today? Well off from work so I go for a walk today!
Tonight Iām going to dance in a club at a ā40 upā party. Looking forward to it!
Just me, a group of nice ladies and music
Have a good day ore night all!
I had a very nice day in Rotterdam yesterday, meeting up with Aga and Claudia . And seeing part of the collection of museum Boijmans for the first time. The museum itself is closed for renovation but their arts depot is opened to public and my visit there was an incredible experience.
Easy day today, do some chores, have a good meal, get ready for my working weekend. Later Holland plays France in the Euros . We always lose to France but who knows. Have as good a day as you all can friends. Sober and clean. Love.
Today is travel day. Iām going to say goodbye to Rotterdam. I had a great time. Then on the train home. My daughter will be coming home from her school trip to the UK later in the afternoon. Iām very curious about her travels. And then itās game night with friends in the evening.
Letās stay in peace, kindness and freedom friends
Iām here, Iām alive Iām sober and Iām happy.
Day 114
Midsummer eve.
Today we dance around a fallos pole thatās decorated with Leafs and flowers.
Eat picked herring, spring potatoes,hard bread, sour cream, meatballs for the kids (Iām a kid today) and strawberries with cream.
We wear flower wreaths in our hair, stays quiet to climb over 5 or 7 jackleg fences (depending on where you live) to pick 5 or 7 different kinds of flowers to put under our pillow, so we can allow the midsummer nightās magic to reveal who weāre going to marry in the future.
If you donāt have any fence to climb you can just stay quiet and pick flowers.
Some people also collect the morning dew today or tomorrow to wash in because itās said to make you extra beautiful. Of course because of the midsummer magic.
Unfortunately itās also one of the biggest drinking holidays in the entire Sweden, itās midsummer and Walpurgisnacht.
Iāve signed a petition not to drink today to protect the children who shouldnāt have to be around drunk adults. And I probably wouldnāt have been drinking otherwise either. Never been a huge holiday drinker, itās the everyday thatās usually get me.
14 y/o have Folkdance shows all day, so weāre heading out to Watch him soon.
12 y/o found white strawberries in the store yesterday so weāre going to try them as well.
Sun seems to shine, allergy meds seems to work. So really hoping for a wonderful day.
202 days
Got the gym for some rounds this morning, great way to start the day.
Then just chilled at home, made dinner for the evening then picked up the kids from school.
Back to the gym for kids training. Dinner, mario kart and then kids to bed.
Another good day spent sober
I will try my best not to let work steal my peace. A job i was really interested in closed. I guess it wasnt meant to be. My next steps will reveal themselves to me if i let go and listen for my higher power
It feels like ages since Iāve posted I hope everyone is doing well and sobriety is going strong!
Since I last posted Iāve moved back to my parents for the next year, got a job, got a promotion, started clearing some debt, made a bunch of friends mostly in recoveryā¦ I havenāt been able to get to as many meetings as Iād like to but Iām making sure I get to 2 a week and still practice the principles daily. My problems definitely still lie between the promises and the preamble though, thatās for sure.
Picking up my 8 months chip tonight. Iāve got a really busy month ahead so will probably not post much again but Iāll do my best!
Day 154 here.
Got a very busy day ahead of work, errands, housework, and dad life on another short sleep.
Trying to manage my stress, and am barely staying afloat.
Just gotta keep reminding myself that the most difficult roads lead to the most beautiful destinations.
Sore, but itās good sore. Yoga tonight, itās so humid here so might turn into unofficial Hot yoga. all good this end as I near six months ever closer.
