Thanks Dana 
congrats on your 1026 days!! Thats incredible. Youâre such an inspiration to me. Hope youâre son feels better soon and you get the test results back sooner rather than later. Thinking of you both and sending well wishes

@Noshame the phone shit sucks. Iâve been there. Learned the hard way to buy the screen protector and case at same time or prior to getting phone so I was not ever holding a bare phone 
. It really has become overwhelming to stay aware of all the scans out there ⌠starting to not trust anyone lol. Glad you got a good phone. I do find it super scary how one bad day can unravel everything. This is why we have to put in tools to help us when we have bad days so we donât go down that dark hole. You are doing greatâŚkeep pushing forward. A lot has happened in this past year and I see even more positive changes for the upcoming year 
@just_laura. Thatâs crazy about the homework but also crazy that the school is just now mentioning it. I would think youâd be called after a few missed assignments. Sorry that the school is in such bad shape. That does make it harder to stay on top of the kids and their learning needs
So lovely and beautiful⌠thanks for sharing. Glad you got some game time with the kids. Sounds like a fun night
Please do be careful. 19 days is impressive. Totally too early to also be dealing with all of what life dishes out. Do what you can at your pace. Not selfish but self care. Be gentle with yourselfâŚYour body and mind are still healing and need time to become fully sober 
@PositiveThoughts so very grateful that you didnât sip that beer ⌠yeah to pouring it out. One step at a time my friendâŚ
@acromouse yeah 8 months no upf 
happy Saint Nicolas Day. Glad you are starting to feel better
So true and scary that we live in a world where this is the normâŚwe feel out of place for being sober 
⌠great work on getting to a meeting and resisting the urges. 29 days and going strong 
Checking in on FridayâŚyup itâs Friday
Slept ok I guess⌠gonna try and move some today. Taking it slow and easy.
Wishing everyone a wonderful addiction free day⌠sending you all so much love

And⌠Back in London after a five hour drive, with a pitstop in Kent to drop MIL off. Back home just in time for another storm this weekend of up to 80-90 mph winds in some areas and lots of rain 
nice.
We are getting the cats tomorrow evening. We need some R&R first with just us and no one else in our home or vicinity. 
I have a colonoscopy booked for Tuesday after some test results came back and I was fast tracked into the system for the procedure.
My weekend will be awfully dull food wise therefore, and I probably wonât have the strength or drive for the gym either. Hopefully it will all be ok though.

Day 1,639 clean and sober today. I did not do anything yesterday except sit in my recliner and watch movies. Felt like shit when I went to bed. Today Iâm up early with the laundry already in the washer and made a commitment to myself to not sit around today. Make me feel gross. 
Have a wonderful day everybody, love you guys!

146 days sober
I was up early again for a longer hike and my morning meeting was cancled so I took advantage. This sorta turned into a longer hike which was fantastic in the moment but I felt a bit bad when I got home thinking I could have used that time for work related things. I did get a lot done when I got home and rescheduled the meeting that was canceled.
I always feel a bit guilty when I do something I really enjoy.
Now Iâm tired and relaxing before bed. Hoping for a good long sleep.

Day 5 - Checking in, feeling pretty calm today. Going to keep going back to my objectives for the day to keep myself busy. Sleep still seems to be a bit impacted, but one day at a time. Todays goals:
Three meals
Work
Haircut
Gym
Heading into the weekend being mindful of my tendencies to want a drink as a âway of relaxing and connectingâ. Framing it instead as celebrating by treating myself to not feeling like crap for days, or weeks on end.
TGIF much love!

Love your sense of humor.
Checking in day 283. I tend to repeat myself at times. I am old. It would be so nice to have to deal with just not drinking today. It seems I am good at that goal. In fact I am excellent.
Life and the daily events sure do get tough to deal with. @BrownGecko Is there room for one more on that bike?
I have been overusing my Higher Power lately. Sometimes I know I am doing the right thing and other times I think I got it wrong. ACCEPTANCE!? Poop on acceptance I want my life to be calm, kind and a joy to live every day. I know I must toil diligently daily but I want to do it with pleasure. I have a battle going on with what I think is RIGHT and tend to fight for it. I believe I need to forget about being RIGHT and humbly be accepting.

Day 1027
Morning 
Just checking in to begin another clean and sober day! Have been sending emails to my place of work to try and pick up extra shifts while my husband is off on christmas break. He doesnt get paid for it so i thought i could try to pick up some shifts 
My son seems to be feeling a little better today which is good. Still no results as of yet. But im glad hes on the mend.
Once my husband gets home from work, i have to go grocery shopping. Then we can have supper and relax. I also have to get ready for work tomorrow. So its a pretty busy day.
Have a great Friday everyone!

What a strange day. I woke up about 6 minutes before work so my whole morning routine was off kilter today. Did my first meeting then brushed my teeth. Then I cleared a space next to my desk and set up my Momâs old easel and got out a lovely paint by numbers of a giraffe I bought years ago and never started. Alternated working and painting. Friday FOMO feels. Ive got some pork bellies in the air fryer and I am going to catch an online meeting and then watch a film or two and not worry about what anyone else is doing.
Since setting up the paint by numbers I now have a hobby in each of my living areas so should be able to distract myself when needed where ever I am. Knitting in the living room, painting in the office, book I am reading in the bedroom. I think I am covered. Tomorrow is a new day.

We have a family home in Colorado so I do get to ski on occasion. I am 60 yrs old now so I prefer to snow shoe. My family moved from California to Idaho when I was 10 so I took up Nordic skiing. It got me through college.

Checking in! 
This morning I went for my usual 7K walk, today and tomorrow itâs still nice wheather, with up to 20C and , but as of Sunday things will change. Big temperature drop apparently and rain.
Iâm happy tomorrow the forecast is still good, cause Iâm signed up for an excursion in the morning! 
This afternoon I felt like seeing the sea, so I went to the north of the island, with my audio book, blanket and thermo of tea! 
I also just had a chat with my mom on the phone. Which makes me (sadly) somehow proud, not always was I in a state to call somebody at 8:00 pm without them maybe knowing I was hitting the bottle for a change⌠
Looking forward to my excursion tomorrow!
