Checking in daily to maintain focus #68

@Chance 40 years!!! :astonished: Congratulations :tada: Such an honor to have you as a part of this community. You give hope to us all by letting us know it can be done! But I think more importantly, it shows us that this really is a lifelong journey, and that we always need to stay connected to our people no matter how long weā€™ve been away from our vice. Thank you for being here :pray: (and for all the :heart:s :wink:)
@JuliaLuna Congrats on 11 months! Youā€™ve come such a long way since the day you began! Keep up the great work :+1:
@CATMANCAM Congratulations on 4 years!!! I always love to see your consistentcy and continuing progression :clap: Inspiring :sparkles:
@JazzyS Glad youā€™re on my side :wink: It doesnā€™t help that my manager is only 23. Not enough experience to think she knows it all the way she does :unamused:
@Misokatsu Congrats on your 4 years too!!! Apparently itā€™s a great day to get sober :joy: Glad youā€™re celebrating with us :heart:

Today felt long. I slept decent but had to get moving immediately in order to get stuff done before work and felt a bit rushed. Then, I get to work at 3 and find out my party doesnā€™t start until 6 and my 3 other coworkers with me werenā€™t in til 4:30! Why?! I did virtually nothing but walk around for 3 hours. Such a waste :face_exhaling: We were all there pretty late and have to be back early tomorrow so Iā€™m heading to bed pretty soon. Goodnight everyone :heart:

Day went well overall. Work went smoothly, people are glad to see me back home, and I hung out with some friends and had a fire which isnā€™t something I do often. Was nice catching up with people and made me feel valued.

Person of interest Iā€™ve been talking to has started responding more often. Iā€™m glad heā€™s actually taken action to change, that means something, although still frustrated I had to mention it in the first place. Our relationship probably wonā€™t go anywhere anyway since he lives in another country, so I guess Iā€™ll just try to enjoy it while it lasts and not get too caught up on it, as difficult as that will be. I canā€™t really do much but just see how things go. Part of me still really wants to go visit him again but I know thatā€™s just gonna strengthen feelings and make things even harder. Ugh.

Sharing meme I just found that made me laugh :joy:

Watching the ladies run the marathon in Paris :hot_face::hot_face::hot_face:. Glad to be on the :couch_and_lamp: with a :coffee:. Yesterday was good, did a long ride to get groceries and cheese. Taking it easy today, thereā€™s some very warm weather ahead. Will try to keep my cool, which will be made easier by staying sober and clean. Have as good a day as you can all. Make it clean and sober or nothing will come of it. Love.

@Chance #40# years!!! Huge congrats. Thanks for the inspiration friend.
@CATMANCAM & @Misokatsu Congrats you both!!! Thanks so much for being on the road with me and us all. Big hugs and much love.

I havenā€™t checked in for a while, I woke up this morning thinking ā€œyeah, Iā€™m 225 days soberā€ but when I opened the app it showed that Iā€™m actually 226 days sober. So Iā€™m extra happy about that.
I hope youā€™re all doing well & having an amazing Sunday :grin::heartpulse:

Day 2333 AF. 90 tobacco free! It feels good to be 3 month tobacco free.

Cut camping short. Decided to pack up Saturday night and head home. This year we havenā€™t been as excited to go as we normally have been. Our cups are so full, it seemed to be just another task.

Stay sober friends!!

On vacation.

Today is all about traveling back. Iā€™m going to prepare food, pack, clean, and take the tram to the station.
My train to Berlin is going to leave at about noon. Iā€™m going to join my daughter traveling with my mum and my brother there. Itā€™s going to be a trip of about eight hours and 1000km all in all.

Letā€™s keep our hearts open friends: in peace, kindness and freedom :peace_symbol::people_hugging::dove: ODAAT

Was at work today . Got in early and rode the stationary bike for a bit then stretched.
Was a good day, not too busy.
Took the chance to look over some new equipment that will be replacing some older stuff. Iā€™ve been thrust into the trainer role for this particular skill. It was something I was working toward but its happening quicker than anticipated. Feel I need to play catch up to upskill myself further, but its something I enjoy so its not a chore.

Wow 4 years @CATMANCAM and @Misokatsu congratulations :confetti_ball:

Iā€™m here, Iā€™m alive, Iā€™m sober, and Iā€™m happy.
Day 165.

Weather is nice again.

Sunday, boys starts school in a week.
I really donā€™t want the summer holiday to end.
Feels like we didnā€™t had the time to really have a summer holiday this year.
First it rained for like six weeks.
Then my husband got ill.
Rained some more, and then he got his TIA attack. And now weā€™re here.

Trying to convince myself that the summer isnā€™t over, and that we still can have some fun on the weekends. But the feeling of having endless carefree days wonā€™t be back again until Christmas break.

Iā€™ll try to hang on to that feeling a bit more. The boys are getting so big.
The youngest one starts 6th. The other one 8th grade.

Not sure what to do with myself now when they donā€™t need me that much.

At least I have a goal for today. Iā€™m going to work some more on the porch.

Thatā€™s all Folks :heavy_heart_exclamation:
Wishing yā€™all a wonderful day.

Morning check-in on day 4
I slept Iike shit! :poop: I think I woke up 10 times, and no deep sleep whatsoever! :confounded:
Iā€™ve just come back from my morning 7K walk, I took a trash bag with me again, sadly people dump so much shit into nature!! :face_with_symbols_over_mouth:

At least my route is clean againā€¦ for a few daysā€¦ :sweat_smile: Now itā€™s my flats turn, Iā€™m listening to this audio book that has me hooked, so the cleaning wonā€™t be that much of a bother!

Day 219 AF

Slept well, feel pretty good. Today is a day to work on my lawnā€¦mow, trim, fertilize then Iā€™ve added a 1/4 acre of topsoil that Iā€™ll seed today and set out some sprinklers.
Weā€™ve also added a new large boulder garden bed, so wife will begin filling that in and Iā€™ll pick up a few new trees for some dead ones Iā€™ve removed.

Supposed to be fairly warm here on the ocean today so good day to be outside.

Some pics of the new area after we got all prepped for lawn and garden:

Probably end the day with a motorcycle ride to a local pub for dinner as wife works tonight.
