Had a hard time falling asleep bc I kept hearing noises that didnāt sound like my cats. Ever since the maintenance guy checked for people living in the basement, Iām noticing alot more noise down there. Idk if thatās what it was at 3am, but all the other hours, I hear voices 
No, not like that 
My daughter hears them too. Just a little freaky.
Anyway. The day started out 60Ā° and sunny, then rained all day and now itās 30Ā° and icy 
Where tf is spring?! Made for a pretty boring day. Got a full day tomorrow, so I hope to sleep well tonight 
Hope you all do too 
ODAAT!

Just checking in. Had a good day with my mom and some great laughs. I decided to wear an old pair of her boots out and the entire sole fell off while I was walkingā¦well. we nearly peed our pants laughing the rest of tbe day. We ended up watching Adolescence and it was really so well done. Got to watch the first episode of Mobland also. I love all that kind of mob stuff, and add Guy Ritchie and Tom Hardy hell Im there. My mom loves to watch things so its always nice to sit and do that with her bc I dont ever just SIT and do that but man did we POWERWATCH today.
And i have my meeting in person tomorrow with the DA. Im very apprehensive bc I know none of the judges decisions went out way. Looking for some peace and just dont want to fuck this up. Xo to everyone here and thank you dor all the support xo.

Back to work. Not really feeling it but it will be OK. Wouldāve like to stay in bed a couple of hours longer even when the dreams were weird. I can and I will do this. Iām going to make this day as good as I can, and I expect the same from all of you friends. Sober and clean or nothing will come of it. Love.
@Danwood85 Good to see you Dan. Welcome back. Hope some lessons were learned so this wonāt happen again. One day at a time for all of us.

ā Day 2386 
First day of my holiday.
Having one week in a small cottage on a little Dutch island up north.
Was surprised about the huge section of alcohol in the supermarket here. Probably so because of the huge amount of tourists who are visiting this island? I associate a holiday also with alcohol. I still do after 6,5 years being a non drinker. In my drinking days a holiday was a green card to drink even more then I used to without criticism from my partner.
This days my holidays are sober and thatās cool. Iām really glad I made it to the other side. But itās not that Iām not aware of my triggers and a holiday like this is one of them.
But that isnāt bad eather, believe me!
Know your triggers!
If you know yours, you can act on it!
How do I act on it? Well by buying sweets and other unhealthy stuff I normaly seldom eat but like anyway
By talking to my partner about it. By checking in here to talk about it.
An addiction is there to stay is my oppinion, Iām never ācuredā. Itās how you deal with it that keeps you sober ore not.
Picture of some glass artwork I saw in a museum. I would love to have this one
Itās a lamp!Today? Chill in the morning while my hubby is running through the dunes. And going for a long beachwalk and letting the wind catch my hair
Looking forward to it! I love the sea!Have a good day ore night all

Morning check in
Day 50+
I didnāt check in yesterday and didnāt have time to catch up here either. My best friend and I went to my motherās for lunch and we stayed there till 8:30 pm. We talked about a lot of subjects but one thing that came up was my āproblem with moderation.ā They believe I take everything to extreme and this is just one of those things and what I need is a good dose of self control. Before I would have argued, gently of course, that for some people thereās just no such thing as moderation, but yesterday I just laughed it off and let it go. I love them so much and I didnāt want to ruin the otherwise lovely day. Itās so much better this way. I think itās because of this community that Iām able to do this. I know that no matter what everyone says, I can come here and everybody understands exactly what this means, to be sober I mean. Iām so grateful for everyone here. Itās something I include in my prayers nowadays. So thank you everyone for making such a wonderful and supportive place where we can all run to.

Halfway through a 24hr shift. Just had a video call with the kids. Always make sure I call them in the evenings if Iām not going to make it home.
Been a busy day. Got some training in as a crew then managed to get a bit of training on my own, was not great as Iām still physically rebuilding after the back injury. Motivated to get back to a higher level of fitness. Now Iām recovered somewhat I think a personal trainer will be beneficial for a bit to get me dialled in.

Thank you for your kind words. I am much better today. I turned my phone off after I checked in and just wrote and wrote more. (Music and journal) That seemed to help. I also was given ashwaganda gummies and those seem to help a bit as well. Learning to live sober is definitely the key though. Iāve been so self hating and antisocial most of my adult life but getting there
