Checking in for my 42 days of alcohol sobriety. I was able to survive last nightâs company party without a drink and a smoke and so grateful for that.

I think someone else mentioned it on here, but baby steps is never a bad thing. I cant say I was in the same situation, but when I started in a new field I did thatâŚstarting with something lower stakes (like part time) or a position that is more flexible and then go from there. I had worked from home for over 10 years and have always worked generally alone so it was a big change, starting as a casual staff was really good at first, then I felt pretty quickly that I wanted more time and moved to part-time and now I have FT position.
Nothing happens over night but we have super powered brains that want to figure it all out at once, and worry about everything that could go wrongâŚsome things might, andbthen we have to learn to listen to our early signs so we can adapt, pivot or change gearsâŚbaby steps my friend, and wishing you so much luck. Xo.

Day 17 - Checking in, a very full week, but I am staying on track. Sticking with my workout plan and making sure to eat my meals in to. I can really feel my habits beginning to change.
That being said, I am focused and aware of my temptations to drink and stray off the positive path I am on.
Looking forward to getting some well deserved rest

@Whereswaldo Congrats on 9 months! 
@JazzyS The fam and I enjoyed the first two Sonic movies. You should check em out. Weâll prolly go see the 3rd after the holidays.
Day 1159 AF
Day 17 caffeine free
Wud up, fam.
Work has been slow. Didnât do much, but watch training videos. Iâm feeling off today. The left side of my head keeps on tingling.
I had a vivid drinking dream last night. In the dream, I took a couple of sips of a dark IPA from a glass jar. Itâs weird because Iâve never liked dark IPA beer. It gave me the nastiest stomachaches.
Anyway, my eldest has been a smart ass recently. Heâs at that age. I took away his iPad. The little manâs still dealing with a cold. I was supposed to drive up to the office tomorrow for our holiday potluck and gift exchange, but I am not feeling it. I just put gas on the car, and Iâm gonna waste a full tank driving up there, and I donât feel like waking up at 3 a.m.
The wife and I have been sharing our childhood traumas. Itâs a trip because we have never connected like this before. I feel like I shouldâve told her sooner. Things may have turned out differently. Or at least she wouldâve understood why I acted the way I did when I was drunk. I was always too embarrassed to talk about it. I donât even feel comfortable talking about it here. Maybe in the future, on a private thread or something. I do recall PMing someone here in the past, but I deleted my message.
Well, thatâs all from me. Gonna do some PT exercises, and then crash out. Tomorrowâs a new day.
Take care. ODAAT

It was a crazy busy lunch shift! Luckily it was expected, for scheduling purposes 
Still tho, it was as busy as most Friday nights, with the benefit of being able to enjoy the rest of my day after! And I did 
I saw my daughterâs report card and was pleasantly surprised. Besides failing math(which I expected) and just barely passing science, the rest of her grades were in the 90s. High 90s! The math AND science teacher is the same woman who waited 3 months to tell me my daughter wasnât handing homework in all year, so by that point it was too late to do anything about it! Realizing this, Iâm starting to believe my daughter isnât the whole problem here 
Maybe itâs just me 
We had a nice evening together. She helped clean a bit and then we made gingerbread houses and other xmas crafts. Then I gave her a manicure. The next 2 days are wrapping presents and the finishing touches for xmas. Then no more worrying about it! Have a great day everyone

Busy day ahead. A double job interview later, an intake for therapy first. A rather old fashioned holistic type of physical therapy called mensendieck. My bodyâs been taught like a string forever. Who knows. I slept OK. Less coffee seems to be helping a bit.
Letâs all make today as good a day as we possibly can friends. Sober and clean or nothing would come of it. I will. Love from my hood, where yesterday I was happy to see something of a sunset. First ray of sunshine in 9 days.
@Rob11 Four years! Gefeliciteerd! Glad to be walking this road together with you my friend.

Considering her other grades are so high I would be questioning whether the issue actually lies with the teacher
