Thank you for your presence in this place, for sharing those years plus a day. Your words have helped me hugely.
Massive congrats!

A Sunday nursing shift ahead. Work yesterday was fine. Iām going to make it as good a day as I possibly can and expect the same from all of you. Sober and clean or nothing will come of it. Love from a summery Amsterdam.
@AyBee Six years friend. Thanks for being here with me and us all, all this time. Huge congrats.
@Noshame Two years AF is fantastic friend. Big congrats, I hope you celebrated.

ā Day 2426 
Time is flying by.
Is it my age that time is passing that fast?
A blink and itās may. A breath of air and a year has passed. I do my best to live in the moment but sometimes it feels like Iām in a train where my thoughts wonder off and I look outside and think: wow, Iām already inā¦(fill in your destination).
Today itās mothersday where I live. My mom passed away from cancer more than 20 years ago. It seems like just a few years ago.
She was 55 years old when she got cancer and Iām 57 now. Iām afraid to get cancer too. My mom got it, her mom too and my great grandmother as well. I hope I will break that line. Thatās also a reason why Iām sober 
Today Iām burning a candle for my mom.
I would love to have a coffee with her and talk about life. My dad is not around anymore so he cannot fill that gap (long story).
Hope that my own children love me as much as I loved mine. When I look back at the time she was still around I had to say more that I love her and appreciate her. I took her for granted because she was always thereā¦
Again..going to light a candle for you mom 
Today? A long walk somewhere.
Picture of the city Leiden where I was a week ago.
Have a good day ore night all

Checking in sober. Somewhere in the mid 40sā¦ decided not to check the day as I donāt feel I need the validation right now, life is good.
I woke up at 5.40 because itās light out and because Iām sober! Another benefit of sobriety is so much extra TIME!
Have great days team

Day 55: Good sober Saturday. Started the day going to bootcamp with my daughter. So fun, it was harder than she expected, but she said she wants to go again so thatās a win!
Grabbed breakfast and spent six hours working in my yard. Had a friend stop by and sat outside on the patio, perfect warm, sunny day to be outside.
Enjoyed some salmon, veggies and brown rice for dinner, then a little couch time and nowcheaded to bed. Love Saturday nights because Sunday is the only day of the week i donāt have to set an alarm. I never sleep in, but just knowing i donāt have to be up at a certain time is priceless!
Happy Motherās Day to all the moms!

Day 942
Checking in. Need some sleep. Hopefully I can sleep in tomorrow.
I do need to go wash laundry so I donāt get behind. But otherwise no plans yet.
I gave my friend a motherās Day card and gift. Sheās turning 70 in 2 weeks. I think of her more as a friend than Mom. But she has been there for me like a mom more than my actual mom has beenā¦ I hope she understands what I was trying to convey.
I will be working that practice shift on Friday.
Busy week leading up to it.
Monday I am invited to brunch with an old coworker
Tuesday I am helping my little ones first teacher/therapist around her house as she goes through chemo
Thursday one of my (bonus) kids graduates highschool!
So far nothing on Wednesday. Maybe itāll be the day to sleep the last unemployed sleep 
and Iāll get a napā¦
Big transitions coming. And I am trying to stay grounded. Because of course change (even happy change) causes my mind to flit and get anxious and hard to stay myself.
Dealing with it has been hard more often in these last months than in the last years. The uncertainty and regular bad news and overwhelming bills/responsibilities/stress has been really doing a number.
Hereās to hoping a new job will help calm these feelings.

84th day today and no desire for alcohol. I went out with my work colleagues after work yesterday and had a Virgin Mary with lots of pepper and tobasco.. not bad but not the best Virgin Maryā¦ they had no ginger beer which made me have to think of another alternative to orderā¦. They did mocktails but wasnāt in that sort of mood! It was nice and I had no desire to drink what the others were having; beer and wine.. I left after an hour as I was quite tired anyway from work. Itās beautiful weather today in uk 
thanks TS

Sometimes the full moon wipes me out. Other times it fills me with energy. Grateful this one seems to be the latter 
Checking in late bc since I donāt have my daughter, I felt like I should do something and saw some friendsā¦for a while. Might regret it tomorrow, but it also mightāve revived a part of me by way of connection (instead of spending the night alone), so it felt like a good chance to take. Happy Motherās Day to all you sober moms out there (who celebrate today)

Night was a bit difficult as my daughter came up with pain in the middle of it. So I didnāt get much sleep. But all is well now, sun is up, morning meeting was great.
I want to do my weekly review today, do some strength training and enjoy the day above all.
Peace and love always

Day 1303 AF
Happy Motherās Day!
Iām having trouble sleeping again.
We went to momās yesterday for Motherās Day and got together with the family. When we were about to head out there, I noticed my wife wasnāt wearing her wedding ring. She did this the last time when we went there. Idk, it bugged me, so I mentioned it to her. I was like, āHey, um, did you forget your ring?ā. She was like, " Oh yeah, I did." I donāt want to keep reminding her or force her to wear it, but it does mess with me. I just donāt want to start another argument. Things have actually been going well these last couple of days.
Anyway, weāre planning to head to the store in the AM with the kiddos to get her a Motherās Day gift. We donāt have a lot planned. Prolly get some food and chill at the apartment.
Have a great day everyone! Take care. ODAAT

Happy Motherās Day to all the moms on here.
I managed to get a few hours sleep which is more than I really expected last night. Feel like complete shit this morning but I will not drink today. I have a Motherās Day lunch I have to go to today. I will find a way to pull it together and go and I will not drink. I remind myself all day that a drink will not fix this and would only give me a false temporary relief if any. I hope everyone has a good day today. Stay safe and sober everyone.
