Long day, but not too bad. When I have to wake up earlier than usual, I know going to bed early won’t make me magically fall asleep, so I don’t 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. It’s becoming so common, complaints are coming in about poor service. It’s really frustrating We don’t 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 didn’t 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

Day 11

No Alcohol & Tobacco

I woke up earlier than usual and attended an online AA meeting. I didn’t 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 I’m sober, I feel confident in overcoming any issues.

Living one day at a time

Day 2102
It was a good day yesterday.
Worked hard during crossfit and dicovering I can do more weight lifting then a month before, that’s 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 I’m 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 I’m going to dance in a club at a “40 up” 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. I’m 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. I’m very curious about her travels. And then it’s game night with friends in the evening.

Let’s stay in peace, kindness and freedom friends

I’m here, I’m alive I’m sober and I’m happy.
Day 114

Midsummer eve.
Today we dance around a fallos pole that’s decorated with Leafs and flowers.
Eat picked herring, spring potatoes,hard bread, sour cream, meatballs for the kids (I’m 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 night’s magic to reveal who we’re going to marry in the future.
If you don’t 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 it’s said to make you extra beautiful. Of course because of the midsummer magic.

Unfortunately it’s also one of the biggest drinking holidays in the entire Sweden, it’s midsummer and Walpurgisnacht.

I’ve signed a petition not to drink today to protect the children who shouldn’t have to be around drunk adults. And I probably wouldn’t have been drinking otherwise either. Never been a huge holiday drinker, it’s the everyday that’s usually get me.

14 y/o have Folkdance shows all day, so we’re heading out to Watch him soon.

12 y/o found white strawberries in the store yesterday so we’re going to try them as well.

Sun seems to shine, allergy meds seems to work. So really hoping for a wonderful day.

Wishing y’all a Happy Midsummer

Checking in day 782

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

Checking in day 245

Wow! Hello people

It feels like ages since I’ve posted I hope everyone is doing well and sobriety is going strong!

Since I last posted I’ve 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 recovery… I haven’t been able to get to as many meetings as I’d like to but I’m 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, that’s for sure.

Picking up my 8 months chip tonight. I’ve got a really busy month ahead so will probably not post much again but I’ll do my best!

Hugs not drugs

[PositiveThoughts]

Great post @DresdenLaPage !

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.
