Day 1065 AF

What up, sober fam.

Went to a sweet 16 last night with the wifey. Caught up with some old friends. We didnā€™t have breakfast that morning, and the wife and I were hungry when we got there. People were boozing left and right. The hunger got me a little thirsty for a second, but I felt fine after a plate. They had sparkling water and soda. Got myself a Kirkland lime. The wifey had only one margarita. Sheā€™s never been much of a drinker. She only drinks on special events. It was a fun night overall. We got to dance for a bit. There were a lot crazy drivers on our way home that night. Iā€™m glad I was fully conscious behind the wheel. I always imagine how shit wouldā€™ve played out if I was drunk. Probably ended up an argument, embrassed myself, or started a fight with someone. Thank god those days are over. We got home and passed out right after. We canā€™t hang like we used to, lol. I had a strange dream that my wife was drunk and woke up me up and started kissing me. It was weird because I could taste all the alcohol in her mouth, and um, I actually liked it :man_shrugging:. Iā€™m not sure what that was about. Maybe everyoneā€™s alcohol breathes at the party :laughing:.

Anyway, Iā€™ve seen a lot of great milestones here. Proud of everyone. Keep pushing. Stay strong. :muscle:

Much love to everyone. Love you all. Goodnight!

@Mno Yes, the thoughtā€™s crossed my mind more and more recently. But I absolutely loved this job for 8 years before the current situation. My longest standing coworkers, the 3 floor managers and the bar manager, agree. Weā€™re not happy and want change before she runs it into the ground. The bar manager and event coordinator are ready to say ā€˜Itā€™s her or meā€™. If that happens, Iā€™m out too bc the place will nosedive to itā€™s death. Weā€™re planning a sitdown with the GM. Iā€™ll take it from there I guess :woman_shrugging:

Usual Sunday. Not too busy, but it was hot during the golf rush :hot_face: And the pollen and air quality beat me up. I kept thinking about swimming. Wish I did more of that before all the pools closed :face_with_diagonal_mouth: Getting to bed to start an early day. Happy Monday!

Checking in again, I feel like I needed that longer meditationā€¦ ā€œWhat doesnā€™t kill you makes you strongerā€. Iā€™ll need to work on that :grin: Have a good day or night guys :pray::heart:

Home! Luna seems to be doing good. Iā€™m fine myself. Itā€™s always nice to sleep in your own bed after being away for a bit. One more week of vacation to go. Will take it easy and play the tourist in my own town some more. Sober and clean.

Have as good a week as you all can friends. Letā€™s make it clean and sober or nothing will come from it. I will. One day at a time for all of us. Pic is from the Dollard and taken by my friend, on the northeast edge of the country. Again we saw some beautiful stuff here. For a small overpopulated flat country thereā€™s still so much good to see and discover. Love.

@Laner Hereā€™s hoping it will be a blessing in disguise and youā€™ll have a sturdy roof that can stand the weather and times very very soon!
@CATMANCAM Just want to hug you friend :heart: :people_hugging: :heart:
@SoberWalker @Lola I wanna come too!
@HakeemOsman Great running Hakeem!
@Mindofsobermike 10 Months friend. Going places. Keep doing the right thing friend.
@Tomek Hope you and yours are safe my friend. What a mess out there.
@1in8billion I hope youā€™re analysing what happened friend. So you learn some and wonā€™t fall for the same trick addiction used this time. In the meantime itā€™s one day at a time for al of us. And never again really is never again. Take care.

Feeling sad. Lotā€™s of reasons, main reason being my awareness that I have plenty of friends, but I donā€™t feel close to anyone. Not a single person. It hurts.

Went for a run today, 2nd day in a row. Tomorrow Iā€™m working the morning shift instead of the night shift (I have to be up in 5 and a half hours and I havent even gotten ready for bed yet :melting_face:). The lack of sleep and opposite work schedule is going to make it really difficult to stick with going for a run tomorrow, Iā€™m probably just going to want to pass out when I get home. Then I have to get up the next morning, likely still sleep deprived, to volunteer. It feels like I just canā€™t win.

Last night at work wasnā€™t to busy so headed to the gym after dropping the kids to school. Then just had a relaxing day at home.
Currently lying on the floor in the kids room playing some songs for them while they go to sleep. Will try not to fall asleep myself haha

Honesty is a great place to start. Hiding and secrets only make us sick. Can you look back at before the relapse and see any signs or hints? They say a relapse starts way before we think it does.
