Checking in sober and grateful for no strong cravings for alcohol.
Energy to do things is pretty good.
Looking forward to new tires put on the bike.
The further I am from my last drink the less I want it.
Will phone my kids (adults) this w/e , itās been too long.
Good ride and nature walk with my mentor yesterday, generous and so warm hearted and patient.
What elseā¦
Work is going good. Very friendly coworkers, feel blessed.
Oh and sense of confidence is growing in me Ty Lord Almighty, with courage to get out and do things, Yay
Take it easy as we do and peace in the present moment

Thats absolutely horrible. I donāt blame you for feeling so deeply about it. Death is such a heart-wrenching, scary thing, amd especially when it happens young. Iām sending you hugs and strength. Take care of yourself

Day 61, checking in. Today has been a really warm day and no sight of autumn yet. No cravings at all, but feeling quite depressed. I took a long walk in the nature which made me feel a little bit better. I havenāt heard from my a-hole āfriendā whom I blocked yesterday. Heās still giving me creeps, he really got under my skin with his insults. But Iām sure time will heal my wounds. Overall this has been a good day, Iām happy to be sober with a clear mind.

Day 190
Sad and weepy this morning. Remembering my Dad who passed away, and just feeling lost. I had bought some red shoes online, and they were on the doorstep this morning. Suddenly I remembered myself at age 7, begging my Dad to get me red shoes, and the happy day that he did. I wore them out quickly I loved them so much. When I opened the box and saw them I remembered that day so clearly. I sure miss my Dad, and wish I could drive over. Itās hard sometimes.
Sometimes grief flattens you. I lost a lot of people during the pandemic time. Some of the grief I couldnāt feel and keep going. It was overwhelming. So maybe today is needed, this sadness.
Thank you for letting me share.

Well another night out and not in bed till midnight. Thatās an avg of 11:30pm to bed past three nights. Me no like that.
That said our guests and wife partook in drinks each night (albeit only one night a bit harder) and I weathered it well. Another weekend of friends and drinking where I was able to quite easily not worry about the drinking. Iām very happy that Iāve weathered these events well and even enjoyed myself.
Our friends head back home early in morning, I work an OT shift tomorrow and need to move son back to his apartment tomorrow also as he returns from his tripā¦ busy busy and then back in for Mon workweek and 8 mows facing me in Eve this coming week. Itās already feeling tiring, lol. But Iāll persevere 
Sunset from the other night (and rare for me to be awake for them), and a large rain storm hitting us today.
Enjoy your sobriety TS fam!

Second check in for today.
Decided to take a break from here.
Been thinking about it since last time I said so. Been thinking all day, and all night and decided that Iām going to do that.
Thereās just to much in here that doesnāt resonate with me anymore. And it hasnāt been for long. Still planning to stay sober.
Thatās all Folks 
Wishing yāall the best of luck.

156 days sober
I had a rough night. Had bad nightmares then woke up feeling shaky and very anxious. I couldnāt get back to sleep so Iāve taken it pretty easy today. Had my morning hike and then relaxed at home which was nice and needed. It was a snowy day so perfect for staying in baking and cookingā¦only not thrilled to have to be using coal for heat already.
My anxiety has been pretty high today which isnāt unusual after a bad night but Iām dealing. I hope tonight is betterā¦Iām really tired but I fear sleep tonight because Iāll probably dream again. Tomorrow I have plans Iām looking forward to but need energy for.

For you Sophia. This pindo palm is in my front yard. You said you like palms. This is actually of the palmetto family, which is more common in South Carolina.
