One of those ‘aesthetic for reasons unknown’ numbers for me 
Anger is rare for me, but tonight’s shift had me there and I just need to vent 
Only 2 of us(+ a bartender) worked this 40 person party, 1 was called off. Prep and working the party was easy, boring even, the cleanup is what got me. We did as much as we could until we couldn’t do anything until after everyone left. They stayed an hour later than they should have(food was gone, bar was closed), considering this is a day we aren’t even open. When they finally did leave, I don’t think I’ve ever worked so fast to get so much done, but it was neverending! Then we find out the dishwashers bounced, so we had to clean up the kitchen too, bc we couldn’t just leave food all over the place. That’s how you get rats people! ANNOYING!!! By 10:45, I was so over it, knowing I go back in <12 hours! We got it looking presentable enough and I said I’d tweak it tomorrow, which I’ll surely regret come morning 
Only plus was, we got to take home amazing food. Crab legs, oysters, clams! Mmm 
Luckily, my mood improved quickly by blasting my music on the drive home 
Grateful, bc I really don’t enjoy feeling angry.
Excited for tomorrow! Mr. DIRECTV emailed me the tickets and I checked the seats bc I’ve never been to Keybank Center. Fucking $150, 12th row from the stage seats! Bro 
And he’s all like “I always get extras. I gave the golf pro a pair too. My wife and I haven’t missed a show in 17 years!” Lmfao! But cool to know someone else going, assuming their seats are in the same section. I’ll ask him at work tomorrow. Gonna be a long day. Hope to get out of work on time to decompress a bit so I won’t be rushing around before making the 45+ minute drive to the south side of Buffalo by 7pm. I really hope the weather cooperates Anyway, I wanted to be in bed by now, but have too much energy after that crap shift. Hoping I get there soon. Have a great 24!

‘Fuck That’ by ATLiens was the first song on shuffle. It’s synth house music. Mechanical sounding and alot of bass. I like a variety of music, but EDM’s my go to for some reason

In the end I largely stayed home yesterday. Went trough my wardrobe, threw out old and unused clothing and shoes, rearranged and tidied my closet. I can actually find something in there now. Satisfying.
So today I have to go out for a bit. Just booked tickets to visit Singer Museum, a very well known private museum not so far from Amsterdam I’ve never been to. Hope the weather don’t turn too bad. Will see.
Whatever happens, I’ll make today as good a day as I can. And expect the same from all of you friends. Sober and clean or nothing will come from it. Love from Oosterpark.

Checking in! 
I just had a relaxed breakfast (at home!), with the full program since I’m on holidays: fresh orange juice, coffee, toast, egg, bla bla… 
Tomorrow I have all my medical stuff (call from my doc about my blood analysis and mamo, MRI and at 6:00 pm blood donation)
Friday I’m meeting with a friend from work for coffee and for Saturday I’ve just registered for an excursion! (10K circular route, not too difficult)
Another step out of my comfort zone! I haven’t been on these excursions since March, cause this summer I fucked up with drinking, and that’s when I isolate myself from everything and everybody. Every time I sign up for these organized excursion I’m nervous as hell cause it means meeting a group of strangers (we’re usually approx 20 people) and afterwards I’m so proud and happy I went… anyway, baby steps!

Checking in on day 26. I did nothing yesterday apart from lay in bed trying not to move. That was hideous. Every joint, muscle, bone ached and the pain in my chest/ lungs when I cough was excruciating.
I did manage to drag myself to an inperson meeting. The only one we have in my village is Tuesday night and I really didn’t want to miss it. I am not feeling much better today but I do work from home so can sit quietly and answer urgent emails. It’s a bit hard to be involved in step work meetings when you are at the beginning of your journey with AA but I did learn a lot and enjoyed the shares.

Day 278
Good morning! It’s so early here. It got dark super early as I came into town. I’m in another state, another season, another dimension, another time zone 
I did bring some warmer clothes, luckily. Drove 500 miles northwest. Glad I did. It’s like a weekend in the middle of the week. I’ll clear my head a bit. Need it.
Will wander aimlessly today.
See you later. Have a good day.

Checking in 261 days.
We’ve moved into our new house. Didn’t have to paint the entire thing but it has been a busy few days. It feels really good to settle into a place I feel I can work on my sobriety more and get back to checking in daily and talking to more people through this app. If you were to show me the position I am in now, to who I was the day before I stopped drinking I would not have believed it.

Late check-in. I was yesterday diagnosed with POTS syndrome. That‘s where all the dizzyness, anxiety and the other stuff apparently comes from. As this has come up after an infection and I had this already a few times in my life, I assume it‘ll go away by itself with time. Only question is when. Meanwhile I‘m doing all the stuff suggested by my doc and taking it easy.
Peace and love for life always

Day 334 AF
Heading down to gym in a few moments, 3rd day in a row… feeling good
16th day in past 4 weeks 16/28 = 57% consistency
29th session in gym between doing weight training and cardio in those 4 weeks.
My goal for winter to hit at least 3-4 times per week in weight training. So equal to or better than 50% of the days. No goals for cardio but aiming for at least 3 per week also. 
See what that looks like on me by next spring…

Today I’m 8 months sober!
Had a busy work day full of constant interruptions so typical day here. I slept later than usual so didn’t get to start off with my morning hike so this made me feel a bit off…I always feel emotionally off when I don’t have proper exercise. Wasn’t a bad day just a bit off kilter. Am hoping to get my hike/run in tomorrow morning.
In the afternoon I threw a little birthday party for my friends daughter. She turned 3 today and was a fun time with them. I put 3 candles on her cake but she was afraid of them poor kid!
Came home for dinner and have been relaxing since then. Hoping to sleep well tonight.

Well, it has been another week, two weeks in. I’m doing okay today. Tired. Craving foods I don’t have, and swear I need to invest in stock for Ben and Jerry’s… Ice cream intake has been ridiculous, and alas I’m out. But there’s chocolate chip cookies, and my homemade marshmallow cream pie so I think I’ll be okay.
Adjusting to being sober, I guess, don’t feel like too much has changed yet. I’m just not drinking. See where this whole AF life gets me.
Like I said I’m tired, and hungry. Definitely kinda binge eating lately. Oh well, could be way worse.
