Watch out I’m out of coffee. Told myself I’d make it on tea last night. Then I awoke to no coffee! Second black tea. 10 should do it 
Thinking about the week ahead. I am heading to New Mexico early Wednesday morning. Could not be more ready to go! Already feeling the peace of the place. The vibes are so different than the angry, aggressive ones here. It feels like doing battle simply buying food here. Or coffee! It’s like I quit the competition early or something. 
What a relief to not have to think about drinking. Still, not getting complacent. I remember when everything seemed ok, and I didn’t have a problem anymore, and maybe I never really did. That’s what happens with me. Not a big drama battle with an urge, an absence of an urge or problem! Everything is just perfect so must eff it up. I forget!
Enjoy your days.

Checking in on day 980 AF.
Had a terrible sleep - but got up, had breakfast, went to the gym for an hour, then completed a 30min walk.
Now home and enjoying a protein-packed lunch to help my muscles recover.
Determined to keep the routine going and that today is going to be a good day.
Have a fabulous and sober Sunday everyone

The family have been away the last couple of days, i had to stay and look after the dogs, so has been a quiet couple of days. They’re back tomorrow afternoon.
Going to try and get a workout in tomorrow morning then have a couple things I need to do.
Hand is healing up well but the knuckles might be problematic.

Day 3
Just feeling out of sorts a bit. Not sure if it’s cause of the recent relapse or other stuff going on.
Just feeling more tired than I should.

Day 3 today
At the kids swimming class right now.
Doing some house chores later on today and then my evening work shift.
Feeling a little low still. I keep telling myself that’s a good thing. It means the brain is changing.

Thank you for your thoughts. You are writing there about something I was going through just now. Being sober and staying sober is a nice start for me but then there is the history of crazy years and decades. Heck I got a new phone and for that reason was going through my messages starting from 2010 and even earlier and damn there is much of shit I cannot recall from my past and lots of stupid things done that I would never do sober. It feels almost like l havent been myself or that I dont know who I am.
Heck there has been always a decent me that has done things properly but this another version with deep addiction.. wow.. it puzzles me how it did take so long time to stand up for it, to realize and admit all the harm done and deny to live my life in a fog. I am happy now but obviously these 70 days are only babysteps to a new life. It sure is important to deal with ones history and make a redemption with it. It takes time to get familiar with yourself and to learn who you really are. I quess I go through that message shitstorm, give a real tought to the past and then finally delete the messages to be able to begin a fresh new start.
But summarized: being and staying sober is only a beginning and the path must lead to finding yourself again, handle and forgive your past actions in the history and to really listen to your true feelings and try to live your life being humble, always learning and always doing work to develop and to do good to yourself and to others. That might be a recipe for a meaningful life at least for me.

Yeah it takes time. Your brain and body needs time to heal. Just try to take it slow and relax. You are in a good path and in the very beginning of it. Give it time and maybe try to figure out some new routines that allow you to stay sober. One good routine is to check in here daily and read and write and maybe also keep the journal. Its same routine for all of us here, 24 hours sober at a time. No need to think or commit further. Its easier just to decide that I wont drink today. At least it works for me. And the addiction will tease and test me and you many times in the future but I can be strong enough to resist it the next 24 hours when it decides to show up.
Have a nice day and good to see you here! This is a good place to share your feelings and also find help when needed.

@JazzyS @Butterflymoonwoman @Just_Laura @SolarEclipse thank you all for the encouraging words yesterday. They were much needed. I was feeling too much and then too little and experiencing a lot of shame about the almost-relapse. Your kindness is deeply appreciated.
Today is better! I slept well, i woke up singing, I’m determined to enjoy my last weekend day alone. I’ve got my pets and I’ve scheduled some nice long gym time and I’ve decided to buy a horror film to stream later. It’s gonna be great. No need for a drink today or ever again.

Day 1684.
Church at the park, had 4 churches come together. Service was great, and after we all had lunch. Just a good time all around.
Got signed to a new job, building houses and stuff. Its new to me, but i know he will bless us all, as I earnestly align with God.
These blessing will come, even in tough times. He is always faithful.
