I am here with 198 days sober
Humor for the day. With my husband I feel I have to defend my 4 AA Meetings a week. He usually wants a report of the happenings in the meeting. Sometimes I resent this as it is my space. Yesterday he asked āso tell me about your meetingā . Well since I have been sharing so much lately and love my group I began to spill out the topics and my shared detail along with I am losing weight, keeping up on household chores and work and going to gym everyday. My husband had to interrupt the volcano of words and says āthat is so terrific but I need to go back to workā. But wait I have more! He says doesnāt have the time right nowā¦
I got the sense he was sorry he askedā¦

I am on 1 month and 1 day, and Iām struggling with my emotions big time. Thinking about my life, my choices. Why did I make the choices I did, how the hell I got where I am. āWhy meāsā. I realize that the only way I will start to be happy is to stop feeling sorry for myself, accept that the past is past, and I will never be able to have it again.
I cannot control my way into having what i think will make me happy again. Life doesnāt work that way. I have to lay in the bed I made, let people be happy, let people go.
My biggest regret is not having gotten sober and better years ago.

Checking in againā¦definitly coming down with something, which makes sense because my house has been a revolving door of sick around me. I need to stay calm, been feeling sorry for myself lately and having regrets about past decisionsā¦
Wishing in a way we didnt spend all our money renovatinf our house for my nephew, not because I resent doing it but now he needs more moneh for therapy and I dont have it to give.
Wishing we didnt spend so much onbthe family lawyer because in the end she didnt help and was very expensive. Again, because my nephew needs more money now.
I have to accept that we did at the time what we thought was best and doing the best you can doesnt always mean its easy or that the consequences arent felt. We were preparing for his future here, and didnt feel safe to proceed without an attorney. Still the figure is astounding, and lately I have been having a challenging time thinking of how my husband and I saved and saved for 10 years, and its gone. Finances are not easy, and I dont regret anything we did for my nephew but still has been a thought playing in my mind. I think especially when we are faced with other challebges I start to feel sorry for myself wondering if the decisions we made were in fact helpful and supportive or if I was stupid.
Anyway, needed to share. I am currently laying down. I could just sleep! In laws are here for the night so its nice hubby has help with the kids so I can rest. I am wondering if its covid; becayse i dont feel a usual sick, but when I have bad covid in the past I had an odd versiob where it wssnt so much a flu or heavy symptoms but just extreme extreme body fatigue, dizziness and my brain doesnt work properly. Hope to feel better soon!
Wishing everyone a beautiful day/night I am goingbto just rest until i put the kids to sleep!

Evening check in ā¦ Just getting ready to put my daughter to bed, and then start parking for a weekend camping trip.
Itās been another week of go-go nonstop from 06:30 to 21:30 or later every day.
I hit a wall right at the end of the workday, and really wanted a hit of dopamine and easy pleasure, but I pushed through on my own.
Thereās no easy way out - just me building life on my own.

I am deeply thankful for the strength that has carried me through my first five days of being alcohol-free. Each day has been a small but meaningful victory, and I am filled with gratitude for the progress Iāve made. I pray for the focus to keep my eyes on these daily triumphs, knowing they are leading me to the future I am buildingāone filled with health, clarity, and purpose. May I continue to find the courage to walk this path, one step at a time.

Felt really exhausted today. This morning I got my daughter up and made breakfast and fell right back asleep on the couch. Luckily I learned from my drinking days to set an alarm for the bus.
50 cent wing night at work and I was the only server, but I got 2 bussers which helped. We sold out, I made bank, and was out by 9 so, not a bad night. Just feeling more tense than usual. Trying to breathe and relax but I probably just need sleep. After a snack tho cause my bellyās rumbling. Hope you all have a good one

One thing about being in a room, is youāre always welcome and seat is always open for you.

That sounds dangerous, if you happen to be Dirk and love stuffing your face with greasy food!

Youāre not the only one. We started with 1,400! I doubt the profit margin was even worth the amount of work the poor kitchen staff did. With only 4 fryers, it was nonstop!

Things are going well, but busy. I got asked to lead at a meeting tomorrow that I donāt usually go to, which definitely takes me out of my comfort zone. Iām trying to decide what to talk about.
I got a card from the vet and another from Chewy, so I guess itās my cat Tazās birthday. He is the oldest of the 3 and just turned 9.
Keeping busy with work. Driving to and from school adds a lot to my day and makes it feel like I have less time. I miss the easier summer days.

Day 1062 AF
Whatās up, gang.
Hope everyoneās doing well.
Staying busy with work and the kiddos. I had to drive up to the office for my annual review. It went well. Got to see my co-workers and talk to other human beings. It gets a little lonely working from home.
Keep having repetitive dreams. Dreams that Iām in high school and canāt get a hold of my wife. Dreams about my childhood apartments.
Iāve been opening up to my wife a bit more about what happened there. Iām glad I could talk to someone without feeling embarrassed.
Nothing else is new. Hope yāall have a great sober day/night!
Take care. ODAAT

Good morning. The weekends roll around pretty quickly these days! Busy one in work today and I have a few heavy or not so nice things to deal with but weāll take on the Day and manage our way through.
Iām 50 days today. Iāve been here before, but Iām better equipped and more knowledgeable with every passing day. Iām mature and aware of the signs and have systems in place to deal with most eventually.
Iām looking forward to the weekend. I need some exercise, some rest and a little bit of clear headspace.
Hope you have a great Friday

Im so behind with posts hereā¦ I canāt catch up and itās irritating. I miss you guys! I hope all ok with you 
Here all okā¦no desire to drink. Taking care of my body (still a lot of work to make about binge eating and sugar intake but hey, baby steps are steps too). Working out pretty much. Trying to sleep enough. Etc.
This is how behind I am with TS forum:
I donāt have other social media apps and I donāt watch yt shorts (I think my husband is losing himself in YouTube short videos sometimes for real, terrible thing) so just for fun topics here are my guilty pleasure when Ihave some free time. But no free time lately
Can you imagine that happiness when finally I will see all those memes??
Canāt wait.
Ok, I have to run now. They are sleeping to long today 
Edit: I mean my kids
