@lisa_lou_who Congrats on your 1+ month of sobriety 
Ah love – the mind can be a dark hole if we let it and regrets are the worst! We really can’t change the past and living in the what if’s or should haves or would haves can be so destructive. You are here now! You are working on a sober life for yourself. Life will have its ups and downs but in our sober journey we can gain tools to help us live life on life’s terms. Keep up the great work 
@mira_d I do hope you start feeling better soon. Hopefully its not Covid. You made the best decisions for you, your family and your nephew at the time. No way could you have known what was going to happen or how things were going to play out. I am sorry that the lawyer was such a putz. Wishing you well and hope you are able to figure out a way to help out with your nephew 
@rikkofl Welcome to the community Rich! Great work on your 5 days of sobriety. I love your gratefulness 
Join us on the Daily Gratitude, The Air Of Recovery #7 thread. I find that adding gratitude to our daily practice really helps keep a positive mindset
@goku2019 So grateful that you are talking with your wife (hard to hold everything in) – easier to progress in the journey of sobriety and life when we can have support (especially from those closest to us). Hope you are able to ditch these repetitive dreams soon
Way to go on your 50 days friend! Love how far you’ve come and how well you are doing!
Oh that will be a wonderful day! 
Miss you too but totally understand how busy you are with all that you have going on. Excited for your new career and that you are enjoying your Dutch lessons 
@twizzlers Way to go friend – 132 days and kicking butt! Big hugs and good luck vibes your way my friend. Hope you have a comfortable and safe surgery and a quick recovery
@mrfantastik Great to see you friend – I know that life can get busy and it is hard to check in. Maybe change up the time of check in or the frequency. I know for some a weekly check in works to keep connected and accountable. Great to see you doing so well in your journey!
@rob11 Sorry friend – break ups are the worst no matter what. IMO, I would not try to reach out to clarify feelings or meet f2f. This may be hard for the both of you and prolong the healing process. I see your update. Wishing you luck with the conversation if she does reach out.
@thirdmonkey OH MAN! That so sucks! Sorry friend. Crazy how expensive some parts can be. YEAH!! Congrats on the job Scott! Sounds like a perfect fit (goes to show that we never know what is in store for us – admire your positive attitude through it all).
@rosacando Sorry you have had a rough patch but so grateful that you are finding your way out the other side (such positive notes in your message). Wishing you luck with helping your brother move (wishing that you do not experience any migraines).
@juli1 Sorry friend. I am sorry that your mind is playing these deceptive lies. You are a wonderful beautiful woman my friend (inside and out) and I do hope that you are able to see this for yourself. Remember that photo’s are moments caught in a flash and may not portray the true you. Sending you loads of hugs and love Jules – hoping you are able to see the amazingness for yourself
Checking in on Friday the 13th evening!
632 days free of weed and alcohol
1047 days free of cigarettes
My body has been giving me a LOT of trouble lately and I keep pushing through it. For one of my issues, the doctor told me yesterday that nothing more can be done besides monthly steroid injections or surgery and both are a NO for me. Still dealing with the fuck up from the last surgery and am allergic to steroids so fuck it… gonna try to figure out a better way to deal with it. My head goes in and out of a shitty space and luckily it is still finding its way to the positive.
I am alive, I am sober and I have an amazing supportive family who love me!
Bummed that the pool is closing for the season on Monday but grateful that they kept it open past Labor Day. Sure makes opening day in Spring that much better so something to look forward to I guess.
Wishing everyone a wonderful addiction free day / evening - sending you all so much love
