Checking in!

I am lucky enough to have a very supportive family and do not have to worry about being around alcohol as they know I still have a hard time controlling myself when itā€™s available.
We had a sober Thanksgiving and it was the best Thanksgiving in a long time!
No waking up worrying about what I said or did-

everything seemed so much more authentic that felt really good.

Sending love and support!

Checking in! :wave:t2:
I havenā€™t checked in in a few days, but things are going fine! Busy days at work! Iā€™m still abstaining from any self destructive behavior! (No booze, cigarettes as well as controlling my ED - hitting 2 weeks today)
As of today Iā€™m off 2 weeks! Thatā€™s also a first one for me, usually I only take one week at the time.
Tomorrow I have the charity concert I mentioned some days ago, where Iā€™ll be helping as a volunteer. Theyā€™ve scheduled me for 4 hours at the food stand + all the setup beforehand. At least Iā€™m not at the booze standā€¦ :partying_face::sweat_smile:
Peanut is doing fine! No more wounds at the moment, they have all healed and nothing new has appeared, fingers crossed! :crossed_fingers:t2:

Day 1. Sigh. Here I am again humbly restarting my timer.

I traded 35 days of sobriety for 5 days of binge drinking, lying and hiding it. Enough is enough.

@Jesile so happy to hear that no new woundsā€¦hope that Peanut keeps healing and stays wound free :pray:t4:
@james83 sorry that you relapsed and had a 5 day bender. Grateful to see you back at it and doing day 1. :muscle:t4::muscle:t4:.

Quick afternoon check inā€¦had two marketplace appointments today. One lady told me she was unable to come 20 min after her scheduled time and the other one in the guys showed up 1.5 hrs late. Just grateful that the pool table sold so thatā€™s one more thing gone. Really testing my patience and trying not to get worked up with peopleā€™s inconsideration.
Back home and in bedā€¦ enjoying the snow from a warm indoor setting.

Wishing everyone a wonderful addiction free day - sending you all so much love :heart: :heart:

Second check in of the day. Just finished up my workday half an hour ago. As I noted earlier this morning, Iā€™ve been up since 2 AM due to not getting back to sleep after a daughter wake up.
I still managed to get through my workday ok, walk to the grocery store and run an errand at lunch, and have got into the lots of snow shovelling and some light housework since after work.
Just doing it all through force of will. Today wouldā€™ve gone very differently if I had gone into beers at lunch like I would have up to a few years ago.
Enjoy the rest of your Friday. See you at bedtime!

Day 273

Foxes are currently screaming just after sunset. Wow! It is so very spooky on a cold clear night :fox_face:

All ok after a cancelled holiday. We each have parts of the dinner to eat today. I am very glad I didnā€™t grab the pie! Weā€™ll make up for it at Christmas Iā€™m sure.

Day 1140 AF

Wud up, gang.

Went back to my momā€™s and the in-laws today for a bit.

Thereā€™s not much going on right now. Weā€™re back at the apartment with the family. Gonna go for a walk, and then watch a movie or something.

We donā€™t do Black Friday. The wife and I went in our early 20s before we had kids. We sat outside for hrs in the cold just to get a flat-screen TV. I wanted to swing on mathafudgers left and right, lol. That was the one and only time we went.

Well, thatā€™s all from me. Another day off the sauce.

Take care. ODAAT :heart:

Day 1020
Today was okay i guess, except that we travelled a long way to purchase a pair of brand new snowpants for $30 off marketplace, and it turns out that they dont fit :frowning: And oddly enough i feel super stupid, like i shouldve known not to buy something like this off marketplace bcuz my son is a big boy for 8 years old and clothes can be iffy to buy for him. Anyway, outside of feeling a little down, im alright. Work this weekend so gotta prepare for that. Have a great friday evening everyone!

Just checking in. Great week at work and starting to slowly investigate teachers college. It is now 2 years here where I live, but there are some prograns where practicum and teaching is a large part of the equation. Maybe not yet, but I am just loving where I am and what i am doing. In laws are hefe for a few nights and hopefully we get to do our playdate with our friends this weekend that got cancelled last weekend becayse they were all sick. Not much else to report just starting to hustle on that xmas shopping xo.

Itā€™s been a minute checking in Day 531 AF. Quickly approaching 18 months sober. Attending a lot of meetings in person. Have a sponsor but Iā€™ve been told by others in the program to find a sponsor that has something I want. While my sponsor is very sweet sheā€™s got a lot going on in her life and not much more time than me. Itā€™ll work out.

Hoping everyone enjoyed the holiday. Have a wonderful evening everyone!
