Went up into a snow and rain mix so we didn’t stay long. Wow- in July? 
Went down and out for enchiladas instead. I’m heading out to house hunt, those prelim scoutings.
Love my coffee in the cool mountain air.

Checking in..
Bad sleep..
Great working day..
Gardening hardly lol…
Preparing food…
I ordered an adjustable desk today, to work standing in home office. Maybe I will also try a walking pad later.
Mood is okayish, still wish to feel lighter.
Was eating quite balanced, all good.
Days could be longer then 24 hours in my opinion.
Love you guys…
Stay on the bright side

Day 912.
Is 2.5 years an actual milestone or am I just making it up? Well… screw it, I’ll class it as a milestone.
Dunno what’s gotten into me today, my anxiety has peaked into oblivion, making everything feel so hard to manage. But… I’m functioning, somewhat.
So… I finally started the process of getting my driver’s license renewed. It’s been a while since I got behind the wheel, just under a decade, actually. That may be what’s causing me so much anxiety. Once I get the license out, my mom said I can practice on her car around the neighbourhood and the mere thought is filling me with dread. Like… when I was last driving I was going to work on little sleep and severely hungover from the night before. I had somehow managed to convince myself that getting behind the wheel in that state was fine because I’d slept it off or something. It wasn’t fine and it’s a miracle nothing horrid happened back then. And now that I’m sober, I want to start driving again but at the same time I’m terrified of it. Not sure any of it makes any sense…
Anywho. I’m here, alive, sober and somewhat functioning at mid-level sanity.

7 years alcohol free. No weed. No nicotine in a long time. And my sex addiction is under control no more acting out/going to shady places. Things have been OK lately besides a few panic attacks that have come out of the woodwork. Im really trying to be a better versiom of myself this last year. Hope u are all doing good

The fact of “do not realise” something related with this, it is a good sign that we have a lot of tasks in our lives and alcohol is not on our thoughts. This is correct way to live the good life. Congrats!!!

Girl YES!!! It is a milestone IMO and should be celebrated 
Way to go with your sober time 
I am sorry for the anxiety - totally makes sense. Funny (not ha ha but you know what I mean) that we were so fearless when we drank. Almost like we had no value for our lives. It is good to be cautious behind the wheel but don’t let the fear keep you from getting back on the road. You can do it. You will be sober and alert and a safe driver. Wishing you luck with getting your license renewed

Day 85
Got thrown for a loop at work, got home and thought maybe a could drink at the bullshit since it wasn’t caused by my drinking in the first place. Went to a meeting instead and got the message I needed to reorient my thinking to why is God presenting this information to me now? Phew
Gonna stay away from that booze today! ODAAT

Check-in Day 3
Feeling a bit better. Stomach ache and bathroom issues are still there, but dehydration is no longer a problem. I’m drinking 3–5 liters of water these days.
Sleep is still very disturbed, but I know these issues won’t last long. I’ve scheduled a morning AA meeting.
Hope you’re all doing well.

Glad to hear you’re making progress Sarath. Ask for a temporary sponsor at the meeting, to get started, and schedule a call with that sponsor as soon as you can, to get started.
Freedom is possible with simple, consistent effort. You are not alone. Ask for input from your sponsor and your group members, and follow it.
Another suggestion: get a daily check-in partner - someone you call every day, early in the morning (preferably before work), to talk about the past 24 hours and challenges, and to make a commitment for the next 24 hours.
