Day 659.
So today we’re heading closer to the airport for 3 nights in a hotel and lots of shopping. I’m really really looking forward to sleeping in a bigger bed. I love my FIL and I’m grateful for the hospitality, but sleeping in that tiny little bed has been a nightmare. My back aches, I’m tired, grumpy, and I really miss my little dog. I’m also stressed about work, uni, stuff… But hopefully my mood will improve after getting a decent night’s rest.
Day 2238 
The plaster is off and that was a big relief. Within two weeks we’ll see if it can stay off.
Have a bit pain still when walking, but maybe my feet needs adjusting time.
Today? Reading, bake healthy crackers and going to a concert tonight: https://youtu.be/nMEHJPuggHQ?feature=shared
London Grammar 
Looking forward to it!
Have a good day ore night all ! 
Enjoy tonight! I hope you can sit down for a bit 
@Amy30 To bigger beds, better sleep and restful nights!
@Joyce19 Congrats on one whole week! Great job. This is usually the hardest time. Keep at it. We all here are very proud of you 
@GOKU2019 Ugh, what a dream! Thank god you are not trapped in that version of your life. What a relief. Get well soon 
@Just_Laura This time it’s the good clock switch of the year. You get to sleep an hour longer. Enjoy it 
@PositiveThoughts Four weeks is a great time 
If this time is more difficult, do you think there is something you could change in your recovery that might make this easier for you? Usually if we don’t change something in our lives, nothing will change.
@TrustyBird Thank you for that very zen like post of yours 
@SadMemeQueen So good to hear you are inpatient now. Sending you all the love and hopes for healing 
@Scorpn Many others already wrote many kind words. I am very sorry you are in such an awfully abusive and life threatening situation. I am very glad you feel comfortable to share this here with us and reach out. This is a sign of great trust. I feel honored to be part of it.
I also know that leaving such a situation is very, very, very hard. Friends of mine who got out of these kinds of situations will usually tell me the hardest part was to truly realize something about themselves: You yourself are a most beautiful part of creation. You are holy. The whole universe has been waiting from the beginning of time for you to be born and to be in existence. We all need you. Everyone of us. Following this thought there is nothing that has the right to diminish you, threaten you, abuse you, or hurt you. You need to be protected, preserved and cared for. You are a unique existence we all depend on. We need for you to be able to prosper and shine your light. With all my love
@SoberWalker Now that is great news!!! Hurray!!!

Had a hard time falling asleep last night due to running nose and endless sneezing. Woke up several times through the night: running nose, stuffed nose, sore throat. You know it, I know it: it’s the cold
No hike for me today even with this great sunny weather. I just feel too exhausted. Hoping coffee will help with the headache.
But that leaves me a lot of time for reading, tv, lounging on the sofa and doing exactly nothing. And I can enjoy the sun from my bed.
Looking forward to the SatiSeva online meeting from Souls Center in Spokane tonight. They are only four times a month and they are fabulously great.
Today’s picture is a very stylish buoy in ‘Delfts blauw’ from last year’s summer vacation at the seaside in the Netherlands. @Mno might know it
Peace and love for live always 
Oh shit, that’s so concerning. I wish you all the best on this whichever direction you go.
I grew up with an alcoholic abusive stepfather. I know first hand that nothing changes till things change. I’m not saying this person is alcoholic but as I’m sure you know, tread lightly.
I have zero trust for someone that lays there hands on others, zero. No respect for them no matter what their reasons.
I hope you find a resolution as these people can be very dnagerous 
303 AF days,
Sick still. Sleeping like absolute shite. I’m not good being this way. Another day of sitting around trying to rest, which I also am no good at.
Be well all 
Checking in day 230.
Have a great new week tomorrow everyone.
@Amy30 Sorry about the mattress situation. I can never sleep at the in-laws. They got me sleeping on the couch. I already got a busted back as it is, and it gets ten times worse when I sleep there. I also have a hard time sleeping at my mom’s. She has a rock solid bed. It feels like Fred Flintstone home. There’s nothing like sleeping on your own bed. Hope you get some sleep.
@acromouse Thank you! Yeah. I’ve had some trippy dreams recently. I hope you feel better, too. Looks like a lot of folks on TS are catching something . Oh yeah, cool graffiti pic, btw. I meant to reply to you sooner, but my head’s been somewhere else. I used to be a big fan of graffiti back in high school. We had a graffiti store where they sold a buncha graffiti clothing and items. It closed down years ago, unfortunately. Online shopping took over.
Yes, we have seattickets 
And thank you Menno.
Happy Sunday!
Its a great day to wake up sober. My granddaughter came over for a sleepover last night and it was fun. It has been requested that I make pancakes and bacon by her for breakfast this morning haha so I guess I will be doing that.
MAKE it an awesome sober day my friends!!
Day 247
Good morning! All is well though it’s kinda too early. Let’s get coffee and discuss…
2416 days alcohol free…9 months caffeine free.
Stay sober friends!
This community here is amazing @Joyce19
I love being although a tiny but still a part of it. I don’t post that much I’m more a quiet reader but seeing the familiar names it’s just like listening to a friend.
I’m glad you’re here with us. 
Heyhey, checking in again 
Thought this video on trauma was worth sharing too, the end got me tearing up which is rare…
Happy Sunday sober peeps I’ve enjoyed a lazy morning…going to head over to Morecambe Bay soon to walk and blow the cobswebs away 
i hope everyone has a good day 
Good morning to everyone.hope all is well and have the best day
And a fabulous day to you, too!
It is a great Sunday morning😊
Last night went to a really loud concert with booze flowing and I came home sober and happy.
5 days and counting!
FYI, in order to keep the forum tidy, and to introduce you to this daily checkin / greeting thread, I (a mod) moved your post here. Hope to see more of you on here.
I feel the frustration and was going through a similar battle in my head. Hope you did manage some rest and are feeling better today 
@Scorpn noone is shaking their heads or judging your situation. We are all here for you and just want you to be safe. Sending strength and comfort to you. I agree with Alica that you should make sure he’s on the meds every day if he is to be staying with you.
@Joyce19 nicely done with your 1 week milestone 
keep up the great work
@Raspberry I totally get the feeling of wanting to feel alive and sometimes we need to feel the pain to know we are alive. This is no way to live. You are still early into sobriety and just finishing with the detoxing. Now the journey of finding yourself begins 
. Explore things that sound interesting and find new passions in your life. Hopefully you are able to find something that gives you a thrill and makes you feel alive and gets you through the winter months
@SoberWalker oh yeah!!! Great to hear…hope your foot adjusts quickly to not having that plaster on. Have a wonderful time tonight
@acromouse hope the coffee helped and you are feeling better sounds like a nice set up … enjoy lounging and enjoying sunshine indoors 
@thirdmonkey wow! Impressive work . 9 months no caffeine is a game changer… great to see you stacking up the sober days too
@Dilettante have a wonderful day a lazy Sunday morning is always welcome
@Kitster welcome to the community!
Checking in on Sunday morning
Did get a few hours of uninterrupted sleep. Feel like complete shit as I think all the sleepless nights are adding up. Not doing great with symptoms and pain either but pushing through. Gonna push myself to get in a walk today. Have taken a few days off and it’s feels like ages.
Gonna watch some football with siblings and BIL today. Hope it’s a low key kinda day.
Sounds like the change in weather has gotten a lot of people sick … wishing you all a speedy recovery and good health soon
Wishing everyone a wonderful addiction free day… sending you all so much love
