Another day sober, morning all. Looking forward to a positive week, i need to get in gear to hit my wednesday deadline, got my therapist on wednesday as well, had a great weekend, overall, i just feel like i want to stay sober for where i am with my wife and for me. Itā€™s taken me 6 freaking years to get back here, so i just want to every day take steps to move forward.

@Wakikki Big hugs love. I am sorry that you are going through this. Grateful that you are not going to drink or self harm. Neither will provide you any comfort or create the void you are craving to hide into. I am sending you positivity and good vibes and hoping you are able to find a way through this without collapsing. :pray: :hugs: :mending_heart:
@DanaM56 So lovely to see you posting! Great to hear of all the positive changes in your life! This is what sobriety is all about :hugs: Love that you are getting this chance to hang out with your grandkids :heart:
@Tragicfarinelli Way to go friend! 10 months is amazing work. :tada: :muscle: Hope you and the boys enjoyed the bed hangs :heart:
@acromouse youā€™ve had a great productive morning and should feel like a hero! Wishing you luck with the medical procedure - hope its nothing serious. Healing vibes and love to you :heart: :pray:
@MrFantastik 331 days is great and coming close to the 1 year mark. This could be the cause? Sometimes a major milestone can play havoc on our mentality. Hoping you are able to find calmness and get past this off balance :pray: :hugs: Keep kicking butt my friend :muscle:

Nah girl ā€“ this is not you and we all know better. You are feeling run down and feeling ill and of course with the minions at home you have no time to rest and recharge. Sending you loads of hugs and healthy vibes. Hope you are able to enjoy the rainy day indoors and start feeling better soon. :pray: :hugs: :muscle:

Checking in on Monday morning
Not a great night of sleep but it will do. Iā€™m enjoying some pb toast and coffee this morning as I catch u here. Hope to get out and enjoy a walk before getting some of my to do list ticked off. I have very little energy but more than yesterday so that is a plus.
Wishing everyone a wonderful addiction free day - sending you all so much love :heart: :heart:

I am checking in on my 54th day clean and sober. Just 60 days ago a simple life seemed so far out of reach. I needed pills just to get out of bed to get ready. Then throughout my day constantly using pills either sneaking off in private or wasting time waiting around in cars to get off being sick. From spending around $200-$300 a day on my habit to $0 and paying off debts. The first 30 days were rough but since hitting the 30 day mark and my body feeling better I fully embraced N.A. and group meetings and havenā€™t felt this good in a few years since I relapsed. Iā€™m checking in to remind myself on the daily that MY WORST DAY SOBER IS BETTER THAN MY BEST DAY HIGH! All praises to the most high :pray:

207 days sober
I woke up really early today so I could have a longer morning hike.

it was such a good morning being out. I got home in the afternoon pretty tired out but still managed to get a load of work done on the translation project. I had been thinking about some of the more difficult translations during my hike and was able to work through a lot of them. I think hiking is when I do my best work. So Iā€™m feeling pretty good about things today. Iā€™m wicked tired this evening and hoping to get in a good long sleep.

I get in some good thinking too when I hike (although not consciously most of the time, itā€™s more the space it creates in my head). Being physically tired is another good thing about hiking, makes for great sleep after usually! Good night! :people_hugging: :sleeping:

Checking in. I had a good weekend. The fundraiser Saturday went well. I was worn out Sunday, but didnā€™t want to waste a beautiful fall day inside. Went for a walk at the lake nearby. Saw a guy catch a muskie - they have scary teeth, wish i would have taken a picture and also saw a pheasant. The leaves are still so pretty, but are falling quickly. After my walk, i decided to stay active and went bowling. I was definitely worn out after that. I went home and made dinner then spent the rest of the evening watching football and doing my nails. Back to work this morning. I have a busy week ahead with something going on almost every evening after work. Itā€™s supposed to be unseasonably warm most of the week - i love it!!
Hope everyone is having a great sober Monday :purple_heart:

Good morning help friend this weekend. Hopeing that it didnt mess up any of my chances to talk to my daughter about leaving where im at feeling stuck today. Its so much nicer when you have someone to bouce ideas off them. My past has made times this days harder in some way lonely too. Because trust and be betrayed. My choices of my circumstances of making my circle smaller and not having a vehicle to lower my debts is idk good or bad not sure. Time isnt on my side but im starting to think about things like life insurance never thought i would be thinking about that lol. Well hope everyone has a good day. Thanks for the great shares i have read makes a difference

Checking in day 244. First want to sayā€¦ Tough for me with no likes to start my day to share. As soon as I get my daily allowance I will be on it to express love for all the wonderful posts.

Sunday was my 8 month markā€¦ I am ecstatic. Hubby proud and shared my milestone with his people. Weekend was beyond busy with hard labor.

Off to my AA this morningā€¦ taking my cookies to share as they were so good but not sugar free. Best to get them out of the house.

My friends may you find life worth living sober. May you be or become as happy as I have on this amazing sober journey.

Day 23

I just told my husband of 31 years that something has to change. He drinks from the time he wakesā€¦ usually a big nap is part of his day. I need to move on from this pattern . He cannot remember anything I tell himā€¦ We have amazing grown children and a sweet grandson. I offered to help him change his waysā€¦. He seemed shocked. He makes fun of me with his friends because I am not as loving as he wants. I know the pain in my back is stress related. We donā€™t have to worry for much but as I told him we are both alcoholics and things need to change. Stay tuned. I am done. Pray for us.
