Checking in day 16. Pretty non eventful day today. Went to an appointment and to the gym and then worked. Looking forward to AA meeting again this week. Weirdly I quite enjoy them, it’s comforting to be around people who understand and have had similar experiences. Happy sober Monday everyone

Second check in. During early morning AA Meeting a comment was made that I smile a lot. I am happy and my face shows it. I had to take a piece of equipment to a repair shop in neighboring city today and it happens to be near a Trader Joe’s grocery store. I love Trader Joe’s. I don’t get there as often as I would like. I chatted with checker and the person who bagged my groceries. Pleasant chatter. The Bagger went out of store right before me to collect shopping carts from parking lot. I began to put grocery bags in my trunk. One bag dropped and the only breakable item (olive oil) broke. The gentleman came over and took the entire bag with broken item and went back in the store only to return with all new items that were in the bag. Wow… I probably would not have gone back into store. Such a nice gesture. I believe Positive Happens when you are positive!!! Thank you Higher Power for showing me Sobriety is the most wonderful life.

@laner YEAH 200 days! Great work on finding ways to deal with the emotional hangovers. I too get them and kinda let myself just let them pass knowing at least my body is not also healing from toxins from the night before. Hope you managed a good night of sleep 
@mxelle CONGRATS! That is a huge step in throwing that stuff out. I know it was hard and I’m sure you are feeling a lot of emotions but should be super proud of yourself. Another step in the right direction!

Checking in on Monday night
670 days (22 months) free of alcohol and weed
1085 days free of cigarettes
Was a decent enough day. Got a lot of stuff accomplished and the main item was making a few calls (why do making important calls feel so daunting and tiring). Glad they were easier to deal with then I had led my imagination to believe and they are over with.
Hoping to get some decent sleep tonight - my schedule is off again.
Wishing everyone a wonderful addiction free day / evening. Sending you all so much love

Day 981
Not a bad day today, but i am feeling under the weather. Just really stuffed up. My son and I relaxed all day basically along with doing a little cleaning as well. Once hubby got home, i had to step out to the pharmacy to grab the remaining bottles of antibiotics for my son. Got home at 7pm and now just getting my son ready for bed. Then we will eat supper. Super late to be eating but oh well. Overall tho, I am grateful for my recovery. The life i have today, is a life that i wished I had when in the midst of my addiction. So im always grateful, even for the ups and downs. Only thing i can be doing differently is continuing with my morning routine. Ive slacked on prayer and my daily readings lately, and I absolutely notice the difference in my mood. So will have to start that up again tmrw. Have a great evening everyone!
