152 days sober
Itā€™s been a busy day here. I managed to get a solid amount of work done this morning and the translation project is really coming along well! I also finished the arrangements for the doctor that will come next week. Then I needed to deliver the sheep which was a hassle but got it done then gave the uniforms to the kids after their school was out. I was happy to hear they havenā€™t had any more hassle. It was getting late by time I got home and Iā€™m tired out from all the running around but feeling good tonight.

Checking in 189 days. 3 day road trip to Utah was I must say so very challenging mentally and emotionally. Divorce was mentioned too many times and Hubbyā€™s attitude was horrible. Back home was better and today trying to start afresh. I am off to much needed AA Metting today and so looking forward to gym pool later. Sponsor exposed to Covid so Step 4 will drag on some more. I want so much to move on. Feel a bit stalled in all areas just now. Sobriety a bright spot. Beautiful day! Stay sober my lovely friends just for today.

at noon today iā€™ll have 4 full days yall ! itā€™s all thanks to my Higher Power, who i see in all of you <3

iā€™ll be honest, itā€™s been a very emotional day so far. not necessarily bad, but iā€™ve been crying a lot. i had the realization a few hours ago that my Higher Power loves me. truly, in its purest sense, loves me. i thought he would only love me if i acted or thought a certain way, or became someone i didnā€™t feel connected to. but i was so wrong!!! Heā€™s loved me even with a pipe in my mouth yall, and i now know it to be true.

thank you all for letting me share, and if you feel your Higher Power will only love you if or when you change, i challenge you to ask yourself if thatā€™s what love truly is, if itā€™s conditional or unconditional.

best wishes to you all, and i hope youā€™re well <3

Ufffā€¦ just reading your post gives me goose bumps! I donā€™t know, I live in a country where very few people have guns, only if you live in the country side and are a hunter with a license. Iā€™ve never seen a gun in my life, and donā€™t know anybody that has one! People just donā€™t possess guns where I live, and Iā€™m thankful for that! I guess US is different! Iā€™m sorry for the things you had to go through, and I hope you process them in the right way. :pray:t2:

Checking in! :wave:t2:
Today has been a weird day, I was supposed to go back to work, but I had a medical appointment at 11:00 am, finally they attended me at 12:30 (Spain is differentā€¦ :persevere:), and as I am 1 hour drive away from the office, I decided to do home office. So finally I didnā€™t go the office. But my other blood tests from 3 weeks ago came out all fine, so thatā€™s good news.
Also my kitty Peanut is giving me some headaches! He decided that after almost a week he doesnā€™t want to use the litter box anymore! :exploding_head::scream: Iā€™ve been cleaning poop from several places the past 2 days!! And now weā€™re with severe ā€œpotty trainingā€!! :rofl: This afternoon went fine and he used the litter boxā€¦ weā€™ll see how things progress, heā€™s just a baby and needs to learn, I guess not everything can be roses and sunshine! :roll_eyes:
Tomorrow Iā€™m back to the office, and Iā€™m happy about that! Despite the horrible weather forecast! :cloud_with_lightning_and_rain::cloud_with_lightning::umbrella:

Workday afternoon check-in.
I went to 5 social activities on the long weekend, including an open bar event yesterday, and avoided alcohol. Itā€™s the second last day of a week of my wife working overnights. The office-parenting-housework combo has been demanding. Iā€™m happy to be fully present and engaged, keeping up with everything.

Sober living is the way to be.

Checking in for day 18. Keeping busy with life. 2nd counseling session today at 4 pm. Made it through Labor Day weekend and Labor Day. Getting through a holiday weekend without alcohol was amazing. First one in a very long time. Have a good day everyone!

On Day 4. Im a little nervous about the weekend coming up. I starting to notice my character defects again. I was a little snippy last night with my partner. The situation annoyed me a little but i didnt have to be snippy about it. Maybe im just irritable. Im thankful for patience and people showing patience. I keep trying to hold myself up to perfection and really beat myself down if I fail. But I also know I am simply human and not perfect. Oh well ā€¦ live and let live šŸ©·šŸ©·šŸ©·

That is a really sad situation to have to go through. Does your work offer any sort of counselling? I think they really should because that is very traumatic. Sorry you had to go through that buddy.

@Mindofsobermike this sounds like an awful experience. Take care of yourself.
@Courtni - I bet you feel so proud of yourself! We had August bank holiday here in UK and I was so pleased to see if through sober.

Day 15. Exercised, worked for 8.5 hours, went out for dinner with the family - ordered Diet Coke and laughed so much!! Feeling proud and happy. First time Iā€™ve been in a pub and didnā€™t even consider drinking.
Hope everyone has an amazing September- it feels unbelievable itā€™s Autumn already.
