That is so cute - and super awesome for her (and for you who are teaching her this super important life skill). I think of how many things in my life could have been - not avoided, necessarily, but at least they could have been much more educational for me if I had started practicing HALT earlier.
Good for you and good for her! 
@SoberWalker Claudia, Congrats on your day 2265 
, I like your cat 
Hope your leg getting better
@Mno What a number 2003, Congrats !!! 
Day 17
This morning I ordered one shirt and chino from online shopping site. When I was drinking I only concentrated on that but now Iām loving myself and changing my lifestyle.
But the problem is Lazy, I thought I would start my new online course yesterday but I didnāt started yet. My main problem is everything I put for tomorrow. I think the lazy also will go and hope this is part of my recovery.
Finding new projects online, After completing my course I need to polish my resume and apply for jobs. When I stay sober I understand value of time.
Hope you all doing well 
Happy Sunday!
A late check in. I made it to the end of a long Thanksgiving weekend sober. 4 days of no working.
Had more family over tonight and I was given the job of opening the wine and distributing it. It was like having Dracula in charge of the blood bank haha but I made it through.
Have an awesome night sleep everyone. Chat with you all in the morning.

Cute dumb cat woke me up early bc there were only 15 pieces of food in his dish. Guess I didnāt get to sleep in one more day 
But it was definitely a hibernation day. It was super cold and I had no where to go. We watched a bunch of AdventureTime. Good show. Surprisingly no snow here, even though thereās mad snow at Highmark Stadium right now, 30 miles away. Not complaining 
Iām sure itāll be here in by morning. I can feel it in my bones 
Itās making me pretty tired. Hope you all have a good start to your week!
Happiest birthday wishes!! Wishing you a fabulous year ahead 
love the gratitude and youāre soo right! Breathtaking pics indeed sure it was even more magical in person. Cheers!
Aw sorry youre dealing with that Dana but I like the attitude about having expectations and also about making the day special for you regardless. I do hope you feel love on your special day. Can def relate to giving being your love language and expecting ppl to be like you. Sending big hugs and youāre right truly there is no greater gift than sobriety! And you have that so youāre already blessed xo
Sorry youāre struggling 
glad you were prevented from doing harm. Try to remember just one day at a time and it will get better xo
Checking in on day 1269 sober
Hey beautiful people 
Checking in Day 15
Still feeling a bit stuck in my head about past actions and mistakes but trying to refocus and just be present in the moment. Did things to keep myself distracted and to nourish my mind, body and soul. Ate well, went for a nice walk with the pup, did a bit of decorating for the holidays which did help put some pep in my step and then made it to AA and met with my sponsor. She really is so great and Iām looking forward to working the steps with her. Nothing good ever comes easy. Reminding myself of this. Iām really ready to put in the work on and for my sobriety.
Sending strength to all today! Keep fighting 
Day 15 AF. I have been walking a lot. It has helped a lot. After a walk, I am always in a better mood and I feel much healthier than I did a couple of weeks ago. My wife also remarked that I was looking healthier.
Sleep is a bit of a problem. I slept for just 2 hours last night. It makes me sleepy throughout the day. I hope this doesnāt last too long.
Giving up on cigarettes is not going too well. I slipped and smoked one today. Nicotine gum is helping, but I guess I need to try harder.
@Ccn31 Congratulations 
@MrMoustache It is tough when a āfriendā undermines and hurts us. You are being strong by fighting to stay sober.
@GOKU2019 Pain is tough to deal with. Sending strength. 
@Philipwithonel Happy birthday!
@Butterflymoonwoman Early happy birthday! It is tough when people donāt remember things that are important to you. I wouldnāt want to lend money for my own birthday either. I would rather have a heartfelt letter or a massage if money is tight.

Home from brief vacation. Had such a wonderful time and feeling a bit sad and lonely that it has come to an end. Ahh well itās all good
Imagine a day when you wake up and the first thing you think about isnāt your addiction. Carry on it really does exist.
Happy Birthday @Philipwithonel
Monday morning again after a nice, relaxed weekend. Saturday meeting was a speaker meeting. The lady who spoke always fascinates me with her stories when she shares so this was a treat for my ears.
Sunday afternoon has always been a drinking, cooking and sharing time with my husband. Talking anything through and planning for the week and the future. Both of us hang out in the kitchen and spend time together until the food is ready and then he drifts off to watch TV (Grand Prix highlights usually). Iāve been buying a bottle of alcohol free red wine and drinking it from my favourite wine glass. It makes me feel the familiar pleasant afternoon of the old way with the sober mind of the new way. So far no issues but I am mindful that can change and if it does the alcohol free red will be down the sink where the other reds went.
Lovely Yoga Meeting in the afternoon. I like how calming it is and stills the mind while keeping the focus on sobriety. Lots of breath work during the meeting.
A new month, new week ahead and a new chance to be sober and present. Have a great 24 everyone.
Yay, a new day and Iām still alive! So great to wake up without a hangover! Iām drinking my morning coffee and listening to music. Itās really gray and dark outside, but thatās okay because my spirit is high as f*ck!
One of my crazy friends (I seem to have crazy friends) sent me a message where she told that cannabis is originally from Sirius star (!), she saw a video in IG. Oh my goshā¦ I didnāt reply to her.
Have a great sober day/evening yaāll!
Thank you @s_unrelax , you are doing very good isnāt it! Day 17 today!
