Checking in 259 days. 2 weeks until 9 months and 7 days until I board a flight for Hawaii.
Little bit of anxiety for trip but I am practicing what I preach. Gratitude for sure I get to travel and enjoy life different from what I have been doing. Although I will be responsible for laundry and meal planning I will be doing all that probably in a swim suit.

It’s so nice to see the amount of posts that have been made since I last posted. It fills my heart with hope that there are many people in this community here for one another, and that this community creates a safehaven and a place of hope and healing.
I’m quickly approaching my 1 year of sobriety date, 11/21. Another mile stone. I’ve said it already, but I’m not all that enchanted by these special dates as I once was but I do see the importance. It’s good to celebrate ourselves. Staying sober is not easy. At times it seems as though my whole life is going in directions that would pull me right back in my addiction. I’m so glad to be happy, healthy, and sober in spite of all the pulling and tugging of my addiction. Despite the trials and tribulations of life, I know that nothing thrown my way is as terrible as being active in my addiction.
I’m thankful for every single day that I remain clean. And I’m thankful for all the tools I’ve collected er the years, including this App, that helpe stay sober.

Early morning. The trains are on strike, and the weather’s OK (meaning it doesn’t
and there ain’t that much 
either) so I’ll bike to work. It’s been a while I did that. It’s a pretty long ride but it’s OK. Since I’m looking for a job in Amsterdam who knows how many opportunities I’ll get to do this again.
Saw an excellent live show, glad it ended timely so I did get some sleep. Coffee and breakfast and I’m off. Let’s have as good a day as we all can friends. Sober and clean of course. Love.

Day 213 no alcohol
Day 2 no vaping
Day 60 running at least a mile a day
Work went well today, still kind of irritated with shit but overall not bad. Today was my first time working a shift without hitting a vape since probably 2020. Parents started screaming at each other not too long ago which is always triggering/makes me feel unsafe (I’m safe, just emotionally doesn’t feel like it).
Have a long day ahead of me tomorrow so I’m trying to go to sleep early tonight. Im not sure why but I’ve been sleeping worse and worse lately. I keep waking up a bunch. Hope I can get enough rest before tomorrow. Working both jobs (10:30am-2pm and then 5pm-12am) and going for a run before all of that at like 7am. I’d much rather get it done beforehand than have to go for a run after working all day.
Hope everyone is doing well, I’m so proud of all of you

You are doing great James and I look forward to seeing your success. What a great add for Invisalign. Hope you start feeling a bit more comfortable with the appliance
@butterflymoonwoman That is beautiful Dana! Sorry to hear about the last minute overnight shift – sending you energy 
@goku2019 OOH tooth pain is no joke. Glad he is doing better. Speedy healing recovery
@Heath this really is a beautiful safe space and I’m grateful that we can all gather here to be present for one another. 1 year is a huge achievement and I look forward to celebrating it with you on the 21st . Glad you are seeing the signs for what direction your life is going so you can correct course and protect your journey 
@wahtisnormal tomorrow is a busy day…I do hope you get some rest. Are you able to create a zen space in your room …crank up the music (may need headphones) and meditate to relax
Checking in on Tuesday evening
692 days free from alcohol and weed
1107 days free from cigarettes
Got way more done today than I had planned. A bit loopy with my lack of sleep. Will see if tonight is better.
Wishing everyone a wonderful addiction free day/ evening. Sending you all so much love

As you said, being sober is hard. Being in active addiction is hard… choose your hard

I hope dinner goes well for you. Those cookies are awesome! I have to share this picture I took a few months ago of a couple llamas in Peru. It cracks me up every time, they look like they’re about to drop a new album

This reminded me of the time I decided not to drink for a week, until the night of this concert in my town. My ex(also alcoholic) said “I don’t think that’s a good idea”, and sure enough it wasn’t. I blacked out before the band even started and he ended up in jail. Sorry for sharing a counterproductive story, but I’m more sorry for the lack of support in your life What you do is focus on yourself and ignore the naysayers, bc it likely is a projection from within themselves.
That sounds like a nightmare 
(I have a weird thing about teeth) but it’s nice to see you looking at the positives 
I don’t think luck has anything to do with the outcome. Keep doing what works and you’ll make it

Haven’t had a long night’s sleep in a while, only 5/6 hrs, but it seems like quality sleep. My energy levels aren’t too affected, but I just worry there’s a crash coming soon. Idk. I should probably go to bed now in hopes I fall asleep quickly and don’t wake early 
Have a great 24hrs!

Checking in. Busy day in work but it should be positive. Thinking a bit more about self talk lately. I know I was in a bad place in that department one time but I think I’ve turned that corner. Need to build on it a bit more, it’s very powerful.
I’m going to handle today with no major issues, I’ll sit tonight and look back over a a productive and positive day where I managed anything that came my way.

Morning Sober Peeps,
@wahtisnormal those Tu-Pacallamas cracked me up…“drop a new album” 
Brain fog and feeling hungover this morning and not really sure I have anything to say but I committed to checking in daily and its really helping. If you are lurking and reading. Just do it. Check in and commit to not drinking today.
On my 9 pm meeting last night, someone shared and was very clearly upset. I felt I wanted to message them and say how much I enjoyed their shares, and I’m sorry they were upset. Well, by the time I was sure I wanted to do it, I had forgotten their screen name and couldn’t find anything I recognised in the list of everyone at the meeting. I’m so annoyed at my booze brain for taking that away - in 6 or so minutes, I forgot their name. If you are on here and read this. I saw you and appreciate you.

☆ Day 2247 
Slept bad and I’m nervous for my hospital appointment. Within 1 hour and 15 minutes I know what they decide to do.
For now I’m worrying to much and it isn’t helping one bit ofcourse
Back in the old days I would have a hangover right now because I definitely would have drank yesterday evening to “ease” my mind.
Not anymore.
Today? Doctor appointment, work, visiting a citytour light show in a wheelchair with my family tonight.
Have a good day ore night all and let’s add some sparkle to it if we can

Went to the gym this morning got some hard work in. Then gave the lawns a mow when I got home.
Wife and I headed out to run a few errands before we picked up the kids from school.
Then it was off to the gym for kids training, and maybe foolishly another session for me.
Time for a camomile tea and relax.

Wishing you the best. Please update when you can. Have a nice evening whatever happens. Claudia, if you’re not 100% healed today, I feel that you will be at some point in time. I understand your worry and also your frustration at doing less for many months now. Admire your patience and fortitude through out it all. Big hugs friend. 
Be well
Be well, your foot.

@Kitster Good to see you checking in!
@sobernow 3rd day is great. Do you have a plan what you are going to do today? Do you have tools how to deal with your cravings?
I like that attitude. I once heard someone saying: sober life is a somewhat aquired taste.

I am soooo tired today. No idea why. Glad I don’t have much to do today. I found a significant mathematical and design problem in my game and am going to focus on that. A walk and yoga later.
Today’s picture is a very green bike I spotted in Berlin about ten years ago.
Peace and love for life always
