You’ll know what to do in time. I am glad you posted. 10 days is wonderful. It gets a lot better as well. Keep going. Hoping things settle down for you at home.

Congrats on double digits! I’m sorry things have been difficult in your relationship. I can’t imagine how hard it would be to be close to that level of drinking so early in sobriety. I hope you can find time for an honest, sober conversation with him, if that’s what you want.

Checking in four years sober. Honestly feeling kinda rudderless lately. Like, cut adrift if that makes any sense. Not sure why. Could be that I haven’t been able to run lately due to a hip issue that has likely arisen from overtraining. Or maybe it’s just the standard milestone blues. Don’t really know. I probably need to think hard about that. I don’t want to jeopardize my sobriety. Anyway, keep up the good fight, everyone. We can do this.

I’m a bit late, but congratulations to @TMAC for 7 years. And congrats to @icebear for 4 years!
Photo is from the National Museum of Wildlife Art that we went to yesterday in Jackson, WY. My daughter was much happier yesterday after we got icecream, went to the museum, and had McDonald’s for dinner. Her kind of day.
Today we are driving about 4 hrs to Cody, WY. I’ll check in from there tomorrow. Hope you all have a happy and sober day today!

@JazzyS honestly, been dealing with it for a couple weeks now, and they said everything was fine. Blood, heart, chest x-ray, blood pressure, etc.
Told me I had to do some sort of breathing test not offered at the hospital, only a family doctor. I really appreciate the concern, but hopefully things work out.
Congratulations on your crappy sleep and itchyness LOL kidding. I hope the rest of your day goes a bit better than the start of it

Rest day. I still don’t know how to do these but I will anyway. My watch said to listen to my body. 
. It said oh hell no. It’s a slow climb to health. I never used to take any time to relax. Now since I have to…I do. It’s not so bad, I promise! If you struggle to stop, ya feel me. Being uptight is common here. I’ll be rebellious and loaf on Wednesdays. Weekend plans? Nah, just Wednesday. Wednesday plans? Nah. I am going to find something good to watch and stretch! It’s new for me. I don’t stretch because I’m always in a big fucking hurry. 
I think all this soreness is going to pay off. Strong body, strong mind. It’s been a while since I was in good shape. It’s just going to look different and take longer. But energy is so good to have. I want more
Enjoy your days, sober

So sorry to hear about your difficulties at home. But look at you, already 10 days sober, that’s something you should be super proud of! You definitely got this!

I do want an open sober conversation, sober being the key. It’s definitely not easy, and it’s kind of a sad situation if I’m being honest.

@Marit it does! Now I have the patience to do it slowly. I am proud of you too. I love hearing about your life and travels to France to see your horse.

Sorry to hear. it’s good that you write here tough. I send you warm thoughts from here 
Try to figure out what is best for you. Is there anything in the long term to make the circumstances any better?
And about the drinking or being sober. Alcohol won’t make things easier. It’s best to face the challenges sober and just choose that you won’t drink today. No further plan is needed .

@JazzyS thanks, sobriety is a good base for personal growth. I sometimes feel silly writing here but I want to do it. When I found my way here it was inspiring to read ups and downs of people with 10, 50 or 200 days or years even and wish I would get that far. I hope to pass that positive energy along.

Checking in with 4 hundred 70 days.
Hubby due in today with Yunna. Yunna has a new pool to discover. Hubby has a maintained yard to review hopefully he will be pleased with effort and results. If not ? You know what I don’t care. I’ve been getting out of bed by 6am past 3 days and steadily accomplishing tasks. I can really only do the best that is in me. I fight the inner lazy me everyday but the energized caring me is winning the fight. I even got the one brown spot on front lawn sprouting green. I still have about 2 hours to do the stuff he can see looking grand.
I love that I can take a fluid intake break and visit here with you all. I have few really “happy places” and TS is at the top of the list right below the kitchen.
Stay sober my friends and you too can find the joy in a life of sobriety. I am living proof it can be done and can reap so many rewards alcohol could not provide.

I definitely find that when I don’t run I get really imbalanced, it really does make a major difference to mood and thought process. Congrats on 4 years! Great achievement.

His drinking is not on you. He drinks because of who he is, not because of who you are.
Sorry that you are having to deal with this while trying to stay sober yourself.

I am having a really great day today 
Had an amazing 1 hour cardio workout session, then grabbed a Starbucks drink (my fav is the Iced Hazelnut Oat Shaken Espresso), and then went to Winners to use up a gift card. Got myself workout capris and got my hubby new pillows. Did some cleaning and now Im just relaxing before my son comes home from school. Im back at my routine which makes me so happy! Back to eating better also so physically I feel better too. Hope everyone is having a good day!
