Who knows lol Have a great day everyone!

Day 2 afternoon hello.
Nice to be back healed after my Sunday night mistake, and have another day sober on this thread with you.
I crushed this morning. Got lots of work done, had a solid workout, and some morning time with my daughter before the daycare drop off.
Powering back up and levelling back up!
Have a great one!

Today work has been ok. Still trying to avoid BS drama! A customer gave me a bottle of Rioja red wine as a gift todayā¦ 
I left it at the office, itāll go into our X-mas raffle.
My āgymā project is moving forward! This afternoon a lady came to pick up my guest bed! The plan is to set up a small home gym! 
Taking into account that I had the idea/thought yesterday, things have progressed fast!
Feeling motivated!

2:30am here.
I have had almost 2 hours sleep.
Have to be up at 5 ready for hospital transportation to physio. My appointments at 9am. They said be ready for 7am.
Wish I could sleep until alarm time set for 5 am. But since the operation my sleep has been pretty all over the place. More tired than usual as my body heals. Sleeping randomly which then messes my night time routine I thought I had fixed 
Iām just going to take today as it comes, my goal for today is to be adaptable - run on no sleep if thatās what ends up happening and not get overwhelmed, anxious of stressed about it.
Everything is organised in my life so not too much stress there just the sleep had a knock on effects on my mental health. Understanding the Drs words that I had a major surgery my body needs to heal, I need to slow down and just sleep when my body needs it and rest with my leg elevated ā¦ itās been 3 weeks 
I need some structure back.
Apart from the sleep everything is actually going really well. The hospital have arranged transport there and back all I have to is be ready. Sleep if I need. Eat when I need 
sounds ok when I put it like that.
Canāt wait to actually see the physio.
Just worried il be moody inside with no sleep and anxious but Iām done with let things like this throw me off anymore. Iām sure, at my age 
, I can manage being up for another 24hrs with no sleep 
ā¦ I think ha ha.

Thanks everyone I do like numbers, but for me, 6 is just meh 
So, no callback from the adjuster. But they did just send a survey about their serviceā¦hmm. Whatever. Iām sure theyāll call when they realize I havenāt paid the bill I shouldnāt owe.
Today was pretty chill. Literally. First time Iāve felt cold. I cleaned alot yesterday, so since it was crappy out, I dyed my hair and watched a couple horror movies 
I do love the holidays 
Maybe Iāll soak my feet before bed. Have a good one

Second check in of the day. Just tucking into bed. Big dayā¦ I was productive all day until I hit a wall late in the evening raking the lawn.
Thinking about my reset the other dayā¦ I think my strategy for a little while will be to visit this thread or my story thread when a drinking opportunity arises or Iām going somewhere where alcohol will be offered. Even constantly knowing how bad alcohol is for me, I think I still need fresh, in my face reminders to remind myself the fun buzz time isnāt worth it, and my next day is guaranteed to be ruined.
Thank you for being here. I hope you take care of yourself for the rest of your day and night.

Experience work can be a balancing act. To be vulnerable but not overly, to share my own story but give all the space to the other at the same time, to be fully involved and invested but at he same time to give myself some healthy space so it wonāt take me down. Itās intense. But at the same time I can only do so much. When itās good itās really good. Like yesterday. And Iām going to try and repeat that today. One day at a time. Have as good a day as you all can friends. Make it sober and clean or nothing will come of it. Love. The pic is one of my favourite spots in Amsterdam.
@PositiveThoughts Iāve been coming here and posting for 1950 consecutive days now (ok thereās a one day hiatus when the site was down). Thatās too much for most I know but I am sure thereās a correlation with my 1950 consecutive days of sobriety. I do notice in myself that many of the bad memories fade over time. I need to keep my sobriety fresh and this is one way I do. Iām glad youāre here. ODAAT friend.
@Twizzlers Good morning and success today friend

Just back from my trip to Poland. It could very easily have been a disaster but it wasnāt. Alcohol was freely available and being on a trip it would have been easy to slip up. I held firm stuck to my commitment and did not drink a sip of alcohol. I did indulge in a small frw Alcohol free beers but on triggers presented. I can now warmly look back on the trip with no regret or shame.
Since I got back Iāve been active and productive, if I had indulged I would have been in a heap for a few days.
A win win all around, Iām over the moon with how I handled it if Iām honest.
Pushing into day 80

Day 634.
Iām trying to get back in the habit of daily posting. Connection is the opposite of addiction and so I need to stay connected. Right now, my anxiety is through the roof. Thereās so much to do, I donāt know where to start, so I justā¦ freeze. Itās definitely something I need to work on if I wanna stand a chance at finishing this degree. Itās attempt no. 3 and probably my last chance at it. It isā¦ a lot. 10 separate classes and about 30 books/essays that need reading + the grammar exercises and shit that needs memorising. Itās a lot.
Oh and I have a trip to the UK next week, so thereās this small niggle in the back of my mind worried about relapse. Not that Iām ever going back to previous insanity. But the worry is always there. Gotta stay vigilant and present and all that jazz.

Checking in early. Have had a busy morning with work meetings and going over translations with my Kazakh colleague. Things are looking good so far! Itās gonna be a busy afternoon/evening so am having an hour break to just be alone and recharge some. This evening I will meet with some Kazakh members who attend an AA group (amazing they have this here!!) and am really looking forward to that but gotta be honest this is a lot of socializing for me.
