Thanks @JazzyS , I was a little overly ambitious thinking I could do a pedi and a massage on the same day in different parts of town. I ran into a friend and she came with me to get a pedi and then we went and had coffee. Very relaxing!

@acromouse Toilet paperās a good example bc you always need it. When I was a member at a wholesale club, they had 36 roll packs I used to stock up on(Walmart has 20 packs). I got a 50lb bag of cat litter instead of the 15lb one that only lasts a week. 2 gallons of dishsoap so I can refill the small one. 16 pack of bar soap. If itās something I use all the time, itās cheaper in the long run and far less waste.

Today was tiring, and angering towards the end. Iāll write about it tomorrow bc I just want to watch a movie, not think, and go to bed 
Goodnight all

Yesterday was my 2 week mile stone, my first day back at work and a day I decided to get serious about the next stage of my sobriety - getting fit and healthy. Went for a run yesterday out for a walk this morning, feeling positive about this week.

Second day of my holidays. Writing that down it makes me think about the past, seeing the start of a holiday as just another reason to get drunk. Seeing holidays as a reason to get drunk every day; until I got drunk every day, holidays or not. Never again. So glad I donāt feel the need to do that no more.
Living well is work but itās a work of love. Todayās work for me includes cleaning my place a bit more as I got a friend arriving tomorrow morning. Canāt receive anybody in a pigsty let alone this friend. Have as good a day as you all can friends. Make it sober and clean first and the rest may follow. ODAAT. Love from my little square.
@Bluekoolaid Huge congrats Trevor! Thatās great news. Very happy for you. Thanks for sharing your journey friend 
@SoberWalker Iām sorry Claudia. Healing thoughts and vibes your way friend X
@Alicat22 Congrats on 2 weeks! Upward and onward friend.

Yes it is, itās to honor and recognize the American labor movement and the works and contributions of laborers to the development and achievements of the United States. Everything federal is closed on Labor Day and also the banks but pretty much everything else stays open

Labor Day weekend was good, our little guy spent most of Sunday with his grandma and grandpa which gave us a chance to catch up on some much needed rest. Weāre all still a little congested from having covid but I think weāre at the tail end of it. Other than that it has been uneventful.
I hope everyone has a great Tuesday

Another day of my sober life has just started, enjoying it with the good and also with complex stuff I need to work on. Back to cooking which was always my hobby, so having warm lunch as well as dinner servings, and breakfast vary so itās all healthy and diverse. Happy day all

250 days.
I could be 875 days sober today if I had stuck to my first real attempt at stopping drinking. Or two years and four months. Thatās a bit sad, but whatever, Iām doing it now again. I can honestly still take heart that at least 750 or so out of the last 875 days have been spent sober. I have 250 ādaysā but much more than that in emotional wealth. Also, I know people I love around me still drinking their life away, so Iām proud of myself for at least committing to myself.
Need to get out my head at the mo, itās a very active place! I often feel like if I didnāt think at all, I could be the happiest person on earth. Make like a rock and chill. 
Slept a little better (6 hours) as I used my Loops ear plugs and an eye mask. I still felt two little lumps on the bed making biscuits at 5am, but that always warms my heart, I canāt be mad.
I have double class shortly: RPM with the drill sergeant and weightlifting class straight after with the other drill sergeant. Letās get it.

Checking in, 54 without of alcohol and weed. But I had to reset my benzos counter today because I took few benzs with doctorās orders to help me through the worst one. I got severely anxious and panic attacks couldnāt breath, so I truly hopes the meds will kicks in soon. Luckily I still have my alcohol and weed counters

The freedom I have being sober is one I want to keep forever. Itās the best gift I can give myself. I try to remind myself of this as often as possible.
Have a wonderful day friends x

@Lefty624 Thanks for the information. We celebrate a labor day here in Europe too, but it usually is on the 1st of May and it is a public holiday with everything closed. I hope you get well soon.
@MrMoustache Sorry to hear about your anxiety and panic. That sucks. I really hope your meds will help. Itās always difficult to wean yourself from benzoes.
@Tragicfarinelli Congrats on 250 days! 
I hear you on the aspiration to become a rock. My mind tends to run in circles these days and I sometimes wish for it to just shut up. Enjoy your workouts. Iām sure they will help you with an overactive mind at least for a bit 
@ASP Congrats on day 3. These first days are the worst. And it is such a sweet thing to be sober for your childās anniversary Enjoy it 
@Bunto People who enjoy cooking are magicians 
Enjoy the good food.
@Mno Have fun cleaning. Itās quite an exercise 
@Alicat22 Congrats on two weeks. Way to stack the sober days Nice to hear you started exercising.
@SoberWalker I really am sorry to hear about your foot situation. Not being to stand and walk properly is a total pain. I hope you get relief 
Otherwise treat yourself and do lazy stuff you havenāt been doing in a while
@Just_Laura Thanks for explaining. That does sound like serious bulk buying. I imagine itās cheaper and you donāt have to go to the shop that often.
@AZeke Congrats on 30 days friend 
Great job! What are you doing for your sobriety, what are your tools, if you donāt mind sharing.

My hormones are playing rollercoaster again, I woke up at about 4am with the usual wave of heat, racing heart, dread, and all kinds of pain. Iām grateful I had enough sleep though, the episode did not turn into a panic attack, and I fell asleep afterwards.
My daughter came back home yesterday evening with a migraine again. The new meds worked well in terms of pain, but she is still light and sound sensitive. So no school for her. I hope we find a way to prevent theses attacks somewhen in the future.
Iām going to work on the game and party prep for the weekend. There is a start up party at the school for the afternoon activities this year at about noon and Iām going to attend. There was a change of personel in charge of this part of school life last year, and after a wobbly start they seem to be far better organized this year.
Yoga in the afternoon, and there is an arts event nearby I want to attend in the early evening. Recovery Dharma later to chill out.
Keepin my heart and mind open for today
