2 years of TS @tailee17. One day at a time
Congratulations on your 2 years with us.
Day 1197
Wow i am WAY behind on this thread! 150+ posts to go thru I dont have too much to report on my end. Just finished my weekend of work and will be heading home shortly. Weather has been beautiful lately so Im enjoying that!
Recovery wise things are good! No complaints there. I could be doing more Id say for my recovery tho, so will need to get back to that. Life gets soo busy being clean and sober but i can never forget that the reason why things are sooo good, is bcuz Im clean and sober, and that means putting in the work daily to stay that way.
Health goals are still in progress. Kind have been at a standstill lately, which is bugging me. I have learned that i cant even moderate on sweets for example. So it looks like cutting those out completely is next.
Looking forward to this week coming. Have lots planned! Feeling good today!
Have a great day/evening everyone!
Wow!! Way to go! Thats impressive
Wound up chairing the meeting today, first time i have done that. It worked out pretty well. off the cuff.
Thank you
Day 670
It helped, thanks universe.
Thank you.
Thanks a llama
Amazing post, @Wunderbar
Congrats on the success, and sweet gift.
Never crave alone :: I love that.
Sunday evening check in.
Daughter is having some solo play time before bed, and I have my phone here tucked out of sight.
Another sober weekend in the books.
No rest or downtime, but my wife and I got a ton of yard work and gardening done, and I organized and tidied the garage.
My wife is a slave driver, which has its plusses and minuses!
Every time I get a minute to post on here, I have to put the phone away and head off to do something.
Have a great one, all.
Good evening friends, finishing up a successful day 7 at a meeting. Busy weekend. On call for the holiday tomorrow but it should be quiet.
Have a nice evening!
Checking in at the end of day 2. Practiced mindfulness, role played different scenarios in my head and reminded and asked myself throughout the day, what future do I want for myself?
Read this on Smart website. Really resonated with me:
âRecovery is more than moving away from harmful behaviors; itâs a journey to rediscover who you are and what brings you joy. Itâs about creating a life that you donât want to escape from,â
Have a good night all.
@newday1990 Yeah to day 8! Glad you got through the wedding. A huge milestone for you
@cr84 not corny at all. A special space for your mental and physical health is lovely. You have done a wonderful job with creating a calming atmosphere. I absolutely love the metal sign
@newenglander1970 Hoe did the day go? Funny how our minds try to make the âexceptionsâ that is the addict talking. Glad you are not listening. Glad you got the tractor working so well â hope you had a wonderful time in the sun
Grateful for that. So very sorry for the crazy stressful week you have experienced. Friday sounds like absolute hell. I am sure your body is in dire need of some calm down time. Hope you are able to practice some self care now. I do hope the agency is able to get their act together and sort things out so you are not having to repeat this next week. Wishing you well as you find the coping mechanisms that work for you. We are here to help and listen
@mxelle Yeah to day 1! I do appreciate when the universe reaches out and help us figure out where we need to refocus our energy.
@tailee17 Way to go with your 2 years on TS! Love that we have been friends for 2 years Many more to go!
@madds Makes sense that you are dealing with the mental cravings after the get together and all the remarks about alcohol. Its your addict mind acting out and making you feel more isolated. I do hope you hear back on the job aspect so that you will have options on weather to stay or try something different. 170 days is impressive work! Keep stacking on your days
A great reminder for us all. It is easy to get wrapped up in lifes lifey moments and forget that we are living a better life all thanks to the work we have put into our sobriety. It can be so easy to take it for granted. Grateful for this place and the gentle reminders to keep working on our recoveries (especially when things are all going well and smoothly).
@solareclipse Yeah to relearning the guitar. Love this for you. Glad all went well with your first time chairing a meeting â Bravo!
@wunderbar Happy 25th wedding anniversary! What a lovely gift. Thanks for sharing your journey and milestones with us.
@charliec congrats on your 1 week of sobriety!
Checking in on Sunday night
886 days free of alcohol and weed
1301 days free of cigarettes
It has been a day for sure. Spent most of it working on my PT or resting. Glad the sun came out and the weather is supposed to get warmer. Gym is only open till noon tomorrow so will try to get in early for my swim (hopefully it is not overly crowded).
Wishing everyone a wonderful addiction free day / evening â sending you all so much love
@tailee17 Been a pleasure to have you here Snowman is proud of you
(Idk about Brownie, he was kind of a dick

Love that
@JazzyS Love the new pfp Are they your favorite?

Dang it was a long day, but the wedding went well. Besides the weather, which has my nose and eyes weeping There was finally sun this morning, but turned overcast by 2pm and started to downpour at 4:30. Exactly when the wedding beganâŚoutside. Rained the entire happy hour on the patio, but they still stayed outside
Then sunny again when they came inside to eat!
Scheduling couldâve been better, as usual. 17 people scheduled for a 140 person wedding. Does that sound excessive to anyone else? We were down our 4 best servers for separate reasons, so the boss thought the more help, the better. Except 3 were brand new, and 4 work less than once a week. The other 10 of us couldâve done it perfectly fine, without the 7 clueless extra people bumping into everyone
Ah well, we got it done. My muscles are reminding me now. Almost time for bed.

Some wet weather ahead but today seems OK so we beter make the best of it. One day at a time. Also I have writing class tonight to attend. Iâm going to make today as good a day as I possibly can and I expect the same form all of you. Much love.
Day 15. Monday!
Feeling a bit down today. Mentally struggling with⌠well life really. Life can be so overwhelming.
Anyway. Letâs try to get through the day as good as we can. Sober.
ODAAT.
Day 70: Been a busy weekend of yardwork, almost have it dialed in. Off to bed now, early morning Memorial Day bootcamp and then more yardwork.
Goodnight!
