221 days sober
I finished my translation project today. All of the edits are done and all thats left is for the group of volunteers to come in the spring to teach the new material. I have a new project Iām interested in doing that is sticking with the same theme of alcohol recovery and am putting together my proposal. Iām hoping to meet with social services next week to talk about it and then Iāll need to submit for approval to get funding and some salary from it. But Iām excited. I am really enjoying to do something Iām passionate about and that will help the community. Iāve never felt so much anxiety over a project proposal before!
Itām feeling good about things. This project has meant a lot to me and am excited for what th future will bring.

Itās funny how proud you can feel of someone you never met face to face. But I do know you a bit by now, through this place where together we work on getting better one day at a time. So proud of you & so happy for you Laner! I love to see the tremendous progress you made and are making. Just keep going and nothing will stop you.

Good Morning to all been a minute since I checked in all I can say is sobriety is good Iām truly at my best when I live the sober life wake up with a clear head and feeling great is priceless I recently started a new at a warehouse itās seasonal and they hired 80 employees and after the holidays They will keep a few if any but out of those 80 I was the only maintenance/ sanitation worker hired so I will be working my hardest to try stay on pass the holidays.Thatās pretty much it life is good work is good family is good! Happy Veterans Day that picture right there is my grandfather who loved his country very much and volunteered to fight for the Korean War and received the Purple Heart Medal among others medals I still have dog tags which is great because I was named after him first, middle and last name. Have a great week to all. Peace

Thank you for the encouragement! It is funny I find myself looking forward to reading how other regulars on here are doing and it doesnāt matter that I donāt know their names and that otherās donāt know mine.
And this work project was so healIng! It didnāt really feel like work. I would have done it for free because it was so healing for me and now Iām hoping for the community itāll be a good resource.

Day 11 but more urges today. It has been an ok day but I am tired and grumpy and my daughter had meltdowns when she got home and of course we donāt know why.

Day 18.
Big day today, I got Invisalign fitted. Iāve always had slightly wonky teeth (we Brits are infamous for it) but would never have spent the money on myself before. I used to avoid the dentist because she knew I was an alcoholic. Same deal with the doctor obviously.
Anyway, Iāve saved enough money from not drinking alcohol to afford to do it. I am now wondering why, though, as it is very uncomfortable 
. Itāll pass.
Looking forward to have a straightened smile to go with my much better skin !

@wahtisnormal thanks Zoe 
@Philipwithonel great to hear that you are enjoying your visit and reconnecting with friends. It is a load of when you can be honest and receive support from friends. Very happy for you
This is key. Sorry that the temptation was so strong yesterday. Glad you are back on track. If anyone wants a drink then let them get it themselves as I know I wouldnāt be able to resist a swif or more of wine if I was handling it.
@s_unrelax welcome back and glad to hear that you are heading to a meeting. Keep working your recovery 
Super excited for you and happy to hear you doing so well
@Tito23 such a lovely photo. Can really see the resemblance. Many thanks to your grandfather 
. Wishing you luck with your job and hope you get a permanent position after the season ends
@sobernow welcome to the community and great work on your day 1. This is a wonderful supportive place. Keep pushing forward and checking inā¦letās go one day at a time
@scaredsmol donāt let those urges sit with you. Find ways to occupy yourself and your thoughts. Each day forward is a day won

Hello dear community 
Just finished cooking lunch for the next two days, itās a healthy one - not sure why, but cooking and at the same time the healthy way makes me very happy and fulfilled. Did some 9km running training, it was dark and foggy, quite romantic. I was thinking a bit about drinking, itās partially craving and partially Iām kind of testing myself, and really glad and thankful I donāt use much of a willpower rather than logical self-argumentation why not to drink (illusion, alcohol not for my need but for the little monster in me which I believe is dissappearing day by day, etc). Feel more and more energized. Apologies hope this isnāt narcistic in any way, I just donāt have a partner sitting next to me who would support me the normal way right now. God bless you
