@laner Oh that is goo d to know (that you can email your counselor if you need to) ā I do hope your day got better and you were able to work through the anxiety. Sweeter dreams for tonight friend 
@conor80 Oh wow that sounds amazing. Glad you had such a great trip friend. Good to have you back with us. A holiday where you donāt see drinking as the way to celebrate is awesome!
@stand_like_an_oak YEAH 70 days and kicking ass Tammy! Keep it going strong 
You making me laughā¦ hope it was a catch and release 
@mrsodh Sorry the x-ray isnāt looking right ā I am glad that he is staying at the hospital where they can keep an eye on him and I do hope they are able to heal him. 
Sounds like you had fun with the boys and a yummy way to keep distracted. 
@icebear Hope you have a good conflict free visit with the parents. Definitely no drinking as it will not help anything. We will be here if you need us
@bobtheturnip welcome back Bobā¦ good job on day 1 ā that stupid gateway drink is so dangerous. Glad you saw it for what it was and are here back on track

@jesile 2 weeks is awesome work girl! 
Good luck with the medical check up tomorrow.
@justKaitlin First of all i was about to say Damn girl ā congrats on 6 weeks of clean urine analysis. 
Glad you are able to start spacing out the appointments ā a true sign of progress. That comment was so uncalled for and wrong. I am shocked someone in that position would be so careless with her words. Do know that 42 days is a HUGE deal! We are all so very proud of you and how far youāve come and each day sober is a day to be celebrated. Keep working it and please do not let her shitty comment ruin your evening.
@rookie Way to go with your 1 week of sobriety ā nothing to apologize for ā you are here and working on your sober journey. 7 days is amazing work. Happy belated 60th. So happy that you were able to celebrate it soberā¦ a new tradition has been formed 
Keep up the amazing work.
@Bomdhil Way to go friend ā so excited to see this! Keep up the fantastic work Thomas ā it only gets better 
@lighter So glad the lunch went well and you enjoyed going! Sweet dreams friend

It has been a day. We did finally get the storms which were on / off most of the day. This allowed me to sleep in a bit, have coffee with mom, get a lot of little tasks done, do some work for the restaurant.
The rain stopped around 4 pm and i decided to do my walk then as it was not too sunny or hot. This led to me to doing more workouts which was nice but I am so worn out and my chronic pains are screaming at me. Glad I will be asleep soon.
I did end the evening with finally ordering pizza (been telling myself i will for almost a week now LOL) and then my brother surprised me with a nice horror movieā¦ It was a surprise as he said the other day that i was not allowed to be halloweeny in August
Well - i am going to get my night routine startedā¦ sweet dreams my freinds.
Wishing everyone a wonderful addiction free day / evening - sending you all so much love

I was told something similar thing once at the medical check up at work (2 years ago). I told them I no longer drink and smoke, it had been 4 weeks at the time. Her reply was āuntil itās not been a year, it doesnāt really countā. I felt really bad, but 2 years later, and still struggling, I guess somehow she had a point.
But donāt get me wrong, youāre doing great, and you should very proud of yourself!

Today started out as a good day but kinda fell off in the afternoon but the evening has been great, work has been stressful so that hasnāt changed 
. my father in-law quit drinking as well so Iāve been trying to help him stay sober itās been going good for both of us. Now i just have to try to stop vaping.
I hope everyone has a safe and sober Wednesday

@justKaitlin First of all, I think youāre doing amazing at 42 days and you have every right to be proud of that. Maybe that woman has never been thru this struggle herself and doesnāt understand how hard just one day can be, or maybe she has 
Either way, I bet she was just making sure that fire in you keeps burning with the same intensity. Itās moments of complacency that get the jump on you, which can hit out of the blue no matter the days youāve stacked up. Donāt let your guard down

Itās been so rainy these past few days. The humidity has finally passed by and thereās a crispness to the air. I hope that helps me sleep bc I LAYED IN BED, WIDE AWAKE, UNTIL 4AM AGAIN!!! 
My day was good anyways. My boss hasnāt been at work the past couple days, which makes for a completely different vibe. No tension in the air. Easier to breathe. I wonder if sheāll be there for my lunch shift tomorrow 
(
sheās not). Not too worried about it either way. Hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday

No desire to slip and my system is holding firm and Iām good in that department. My anxiety is up a little this morning. I know Iāll be fine but work will be a struggle today. Itās been tame for the last while but out of nowhere it just popped up.
Iāll handle the day. Iām fresh & not rotting after a BH weekend bender and I have a run planned for this evening so Iāll handle whatever comes my way.

Iām here, Iām alive and Iām sober.
Day 161.
No real news from the hospital.
New x-ray has been done, weāre waiting for results.
They had the alarm go twice on him tonight because of two short heart stops. He has angina pectoris before so itās not that strange.
Today theyāre going to call our local doctors office to get his medication changed, and remove the ones that makes the risk of stroke bigger. If thatās possible. They will also have a discussion on how to monitor him when he finally gets home.
New information will come in the afternoon I think itāll be around 15.00 when he doctor have finished the round.
This morning I got to know that the doctor is alone with 52 patients and every room, even those who arenāt supposed to be have two or more patients laying there.
Husband still wants home, and we want him back if course, but for now Iām happy that he is at the hospital. Wouldnāt want the responsibility for his care when thereās a high risk still.
Feels like Iām doing last yearās August all over again. And oddly enough tye only person whoās been a real friend through all this is Engjy Benjy. Heās been visiting the hospital every day (he lives close, we donāt) checking in on my husband and us. Not even my family does that.
I might need to re consider my thoughts about that guy.
Thatās all Folks 
Wishing yāall a wonderful day.
And once again Thank you for all your thoughts,prayers and messages. It means a lot.
