Had a doc appointment this morning, got another couple weeks off work. Would be ideal if not for the pain in the leg, getting better though.
Got to the beach after with the family. Then physio and gym for the kids

Neighbors have been moving in upstairs all night and making a racket. Havenāt been able to sleep a wink. Have half a mind to go upstairs and knock on their door but in this day and age you never know who is crazy. I feel like every time I try to get sober a new challenge is immediately thrown my way. Wishing I could be passed out 
ughā¦. I need to sleep!!!

@MrFantastik Continued wishes for a speedy and good recovery!
@MrMoustache So good to hear about your continued recovery efforts and how they are starting to pay off 
@Jesile Have to say, I am a bit jelous of your punch bag workouts. I used to do karate and I so loved the feeling after a good hard training beating something up. 
@Mno Thanks for the ice flowers. And so many congrats on the new job!!! 
Sorry to hear about your wrist situation. Hope it clears up soon. But honestly overall it sounds like youāve come so far. Really happy for you 
@Mira_D This is really devastating news. So sorry for your friend, the whole family, all involved. Sending hugs 
@Lainenicole96 Congrats on passing your exam Laine!!! 
Great job.

Itās actually snowing. Like real snow flakes 
I love snow. We donāt get much of it where I live. In my childhood I lived in places with -20Ā°C every winter and meters of snow. I miss it a bit.
Due to the snow my in-laws couldnāt drive my daughter to school. As she is not fit enough to walk the distance, sheāll be staying home today. Letās hope the road situation improves tomorrow.
I am going to work on my interim project today. There is all kinds of small stuff I want get done, yoga in the afternoon and a meeting. I also didnāt get to wash my hair yesterday. I was just too exhausted. I hope today I have the strength for it. Iām considering getting a very short hair cut to reduce that problem.
Todayās picture is our wintery garden.
Peace and love for life always

Hi all, checking in on Day 111.
Quite tired and emotional today, just a lot going on. I am nervous for the next baby scan, my age just seems to add so many more problems. I was so easy going and relaxed with my last pregnancies, didnāt occur to me anything would go wrong. I had a 50% chance of losing baby initially due to my age this time. I do keep trying to reframe that and thinking how impressive this little one is, to have even fallen pregnant at my age is a huge challenge (and this was a one time, not trying āaccidentā), and then it is kicking me and fighting strong. It is beating all the odds to be here. It is just sometimes the worry kicks in and tries to take over and I get a bit emotional.
Anyway, will try and celebrate how far baby and I have come. We are half way now 
Have a good day everyone, thanks for being here and listening.

Checking in sober and hangover free! I say that because I still feel like celebrating in the mornings when I wake up without one.
This morning I got up at 6, made lamb tagine for dinner tonight and moved all the furniture out of my daughterās room with my wife ready for her to paint it this morning. Oh, also helped with maths homework then showed them that Alexa could do that too so I could move said furniture.
Then on the 7.50 train to work after cycling to the station.
When I was drinking I would still be in bed feeling sorry for myself having failed entirely to do any of the above.
I am truly, deeply, thankful to be where I am today. Just for today.

& @Amy. The Iliad wasnāt that bad. Well maybe it was. I have stronger (negative) memories about having to read Beowulf, in a language that was supposed to be English but is more akin to Danish or Frysian or something.

Hello!
Itās my first time posting on this app. Iāve managed to keep alcohol away for 9 of the past 12 days. I know thatās not really how this works, but frankly Iām so impressed with myself that Iām willing to tell you that I know Iām doing it wrong. I drank heavily for years and havenāt taken an honest break since 2020. Iām also a bartender which adds to the tolerance - and the convenience.
I canāt sleep for shit but I sure do love not waking up hangover. Anyway, thanks for having me.

I bought the punch bag online (120ā¬), and I do the workouts with YouTube videos (Get fit with Gosia). Itās quite easy to copy! 
Itās stays in the ground with suction cups, so its not a hanging one and no drilling needed! The only person that might not be too happy, could be my neighbor from below, but at the ends itās 2-3 sessions per week, and heās never complained so far!

Hey there, 9 outta 12 is a win in my book. Harm reduction is a great thing. The sleep gets better as your body becomes acclimated. Youāre doing a great job. Keep truckinā onā¦
