43 days is so great. If sleep is what you need and can get it without avoiding other responsibilities than that is perfect.

Afternoon TS fam! Feeling pretty good today. I went out with my son this morning to buy a birthday gift for his friend. We are going to his friends birthday party on friday and my son is super excited!
I treated myself to a Starbucks coffee also. A hazelnut oat shaken espresso (4 shots). It was wayyy too good!! Its always a nice treat 
I wish i could afford $8 a day on a coffee beverage. Id get this everyday if i could lol
Not much else going on today. Just the usual cleaning. Will be spending some time on my recovery today also. Prayer, journalling, that sort of thing. Hope everyone has a great day!

Second check in of the day. The weather forecast said thereād be rain this afternoon but it ended up being quite sunny in the end. I decided I needed to get out the house so I went to see a couple of art exhibitions.
This is a detail of my favourite piece by artist El Anatsui. It was a beautiful exhibition featuring thousands of bottle tops and wire.
Iām now tucked up in bed and will listen to a podcast for the next hour or so until itās time to go to sleep.

Hello to you!
Checking in 25 mins before the end of my workday. I hit a wall.
My 16-month old daughter is teething, and Iāve been operating on 2.5-4 hours of sleep every night for the last 2 weeks. We went to a cottage with friends for 4 days this past weekend. If I had been going to bed with alcohol in my system, I would not have survived all of the work needed to make the weekend logistics possible.
Today my wife decided to spontaneously sort through everything in my home office because the unsorted documents, greeting cards, and receipts on the shelves and my desk bug her (sheās a compulsive micromanager :P) Itās a good feeling that I never have anything to hide. I could see how this would have bothered me at a previous time of life awhile ago.
I hope you enjoy the rest of your day.

I so understand but my spouse would look at me so disappointed I had not got it cleaned up. Then ride my ass daily until it got done.

Had a rough couple days because of a stomach flu and anxiety being high but made it through. Iām facing so many obstacles and stress from life but Iām trying my best to stay in today. Even with these last couple days being kinda hard over all I feel like Iām doing pretty good. Iām starting to get into a routine with life but lately it seems my days off from work are the hardest even if I stay busy with meetings and biking. From time to time I still get in my head any worry about my recovery and my life. I have a lot of damage to repair and everything is not going to get
Solved right away. I will be recovering the rest of my life. Iām grateful to be sober and moving forward.
Iām grateful I wonāt wake up withdrawing tomorrow morning or sick wondering how I will get more alcohol or drugs. Im grateful to be at this sober living house learning to be a part of society and learning how to deal with life as it comes. I been reflecting a lot on my life and my choices and Iām amazed Iām alive. These last 10 years have been crazy and I have put myself in to many dangerous situations. Im glad I donāt have to ever go back to drinking or using. As long as I donāt forget where a drink or drug will take me. For today I have all the things I need and more.
And Iām especially grateful for my family and friends and the support and motivation to continue to improve my life. I donāt know why I been looking back on my life so much this attempt at sobriety but maybe itās because I want to learn from my mistakes.
For today my obligations are done and Iām going to try to relax and find a good movie to watch and clear
My head. Maybe call my brother and see how he is doing. Thatās about all for now. Iāll check in again soon. Love you all!
