Morning breakfast check in.
Another ODAAT important day on my sober journey. I just finished a big work project yesterday that took me a ton of extra effort and energy the last couple of weeks. I haven’t been exercising all week, and have been loading up on caffeine.
Consequently, I’ve had bad, short sleeps.
Today I’m breaking out of that cycle and getting back to the home gym.
Sober living is the way for me again today.
Peace.
Hey all, checking in on day 1797. I hope everybody has a good one!
Day 26
Calm morning, rode my motorcycle to work. I would never do that during my drinking days.
ODAAT
That sucks! Maybe read the passage “Acceptance is the answer”. Think about how that applies, and realize that this is a growth opportunity as your serenity returns. It’s not easy, but it is worth it. You are worth it!
Trying not to focus on the day counting right now, but here I am day 4. Definitely fought the urges yesterday, it was rough, made it through. Just have to remember ODAAT, and that I have way to much happening right now to be poured into a bottle can not be a thing.
My youngests father filed paperwork with the courts last week (I had told him take me to court). Picked them up yesterday, I was like oh this should be good! Boy was it! He falsified information, is asking a parenting plan (AWESOME YES PLEASE),for child support, and any other relief. What?? LOL I’m the custodial parent, and there’s already a child support case through the state. Smfh… So I’m going to drop off the paper work saying I’m representing myself. Then to write up a response for the court, asking for a hearing, and for him to re-file the paperwork correctly and accurately. Seeing as he left out information, and straight up lied on it. It’s going to be an interesting road.
I’m not mad or anything, actually feeling a little sad for him. He is not okay, obviously, wether it’s the hard liquor has pickled him, or drugs maybe?? He seems more mentally unstable, and that’s scary for all of us. I’m standing my ground. Have all the receipts, and will do what’s best for our daughter.
I think my saving grace is that I’ve been working on my sobriety since November, and he has no idea that I’ve been more sober, than not. Still thinks I’m a drunk, and that is 100% in my favor..
Hope y’all have a great day/eve/night!!!
Checking in a little late on Day 7. Could not sleep until 5am. Couldn’t seem to quiet my mind. I’m okay though. Probably going to nap until my other half gets home. I finally got back to a bit of a routine but a little less time dependent. Hopefully the daily task tracker will be enough and take that pressure off a bit. BRB 
Good morning everyone, seeing lots of awesome day counts and lots of support for those struggling.
Feeling decent this morning, got good sleep and started the day with a prayer and some sobriety literature reading. Get to work from home today which is awesome and means I can go to one of my favorite local meetings. I can hear the usual weekend addict brain thoughts starting up already so Im getting a plan together and know I need to stay vigilant.
Started watching the show Loudermilk and its such a funny show about recovery, highly recommend if you are looking for some sobriety TV haha
Love Loudermilk!
Checking in on my lunch break on Day 141.
Woke up to it being very rainy and so foggy that you couldn’t really see anything outside. Thankfully it’s cleared up and it’s a warm sunny day now . So now I’m just counting down until I can get out of here and try to enjoy the last bits of the day. Wishing you all a great Friday . Stay safe and sober everyone 
Day 19. So i realize sobriety is good on its own. But im gonna try to have other goals as well. So right now for my first goal. I will try to avoid fast food and junk food.
Sorry for how you feel wahtisnormal. All I can say is using or drinking isn’t going to help with any of it. In fact, after some initial short lived release maybe, it will make things so much worse. I’m not aware of your circumstances so I can’t give you any advice -which is a hazardous enterprise anyway- but I do know you need your wits to deal with hard times. You need your sobriety.
Strangely enough your post made me think of an old German punk song called “kein alcohol ist auch keine lösung” (no alcohol is also not the solution) which the barman in my old local used to play and we used to laugh about. And drink some more. I see it now in a different light. Indeed, just quitting drinking isn’t the solution. But sobriety is an absolute condition to be able to forge a better life for ourselves. Wishing you better times friend. Hugs.
Checking in day 501AF 
I hit the 500 day milestone yesterday . I am so proud, this is a number i could have only dreamt of getting. I always take it a day at a time, it hasnt been a easy journey but its so worth waking up everyday knowing i won’t have to ask how i got to bed or what i said and that is priceless! A huge thank you to everyone who likes and comments it means everything to me. My only regret is that my wonderful Dad never got the opportunity to feel how lovely it is to be AF but i know wherever in this vast universe he may be he’d be extremely proud of me. ( I did it dad, I broke the cycle ). Xx
Your dad is beaming! You’re awesome. Inspiring.
Thank you so much 
xx
Happy 500 Hannah @Seizetheday !!
Day 441
I’m exhausted. Had a decent week. I can’t wait to watch my shows and relax.
Brother came by with a giant plant on his way back home to New Mexico. I’m glad but I was ready to get in the car. I’ll have that experience in July in my own car. Just 8 weeks to go. It’s painful having no family here anymore. I’ve got some friends, a small career and it will be ok.
One thing I know is that I don’t want an idiotic drink! That would remove all joy and hope- no thanks. I don’t miss it.
Love to all
So proud of your sobriety!!
I’m so sorry you’re going through it with him. Lying on documents is not going to benefit him at all.
Stay strong, we are here for you! 
Thank you. It’s going to be an interesting year.

I haven’t checked in all week. Life just feels busy atm. Work has been pretty good this week. I can’t complain too much about it. Humbling at times because of constantly needing to learn new things. Our housekeeper from Tijuana came on Wednesday so everything is clean. I’ll try to keep it that way for as long as I can. Gonna get some kitty love and watch a movie on Netflix tonight. Hope everyone has a good weekend and stays sober through it. Lots of love.
@wahtisnormal so sorry for the rough night. Hope you had the energy to get through today with some ease. 
You are doing so great in your journey. You know that drinking will not bring you any relief. ODAAT
@StacyAnn great work on not giving into the urge. Glad you are sober and have a clear head about you to deal with your daughters father. Good luck with all of that. One step at a time 
@cr84 yippee on 1 week milestone 
. Glad you are finding a routine and hopefully will get your sleep back on track so you can keep rocking in .
@Seizetheday so lovely to see the 500 day milestone . Great work Hannah! You are doing amazing work in your recovery. I know your dad would be super proud of your accomplishments. Keep going strong
Checking in on Friday night
877 days free of alcohol and weed
1292 days free of cigarettes
Man it’s been a long day.
I did get a few baking orders from old customers which I said I would do and they both wanted them for tomorrow…so that kept me busy today. I may have overdone it - swelling is intense as is the pain. Gonna get lost in a show and call it a night. Hopefully I’ll be able to sleep tonight. Glad I will have tomorrow fairly free.
Wishing everyone a wonderful addiction free day / night… sending you all so much love
7 AF, 51 weed free. Greetings from the psych ward. It’s a little past of 7am and I’m feeling okay, but useless and sad at the same time. I’m listening to music with my headphones and just waiting the breakfast. I’m trying to stay positive. Have a great 24 everyone! Peace and love!
