Took the kids to the roller rink today, last time I had a skate too but with it being extra busy due to the weather and school holidays I decided to just sit and watch.
Dropped the kids off at their grandparents afterwards to stay the night, so now its just wifey and I at home.
Maybe some pickleball tomorrow? Maybe just a sleep in. Whatever it will be, It’ll have to be indoors because the weather is rubbish here at the moment

Good morning friends, day 53. Very much just blah today.
I’m not going to drink, but not much else to talk about. I know this will pass… Maybe a morning bowl of ice cream will fix it!
Have a great day!

I’d have to know more like location, and diagnosis, ECT. Last night was the first I was seeing her posts.
@SadMemeQueen feel free to message me and I’ll see if I can help at all. 22 can be a trying age, seriously, and I think that you 100% have the capability of using the tools you have, to pull through this, and move forward. Life isn’t easy, but we don’t give up. Today is a whole new day!

Checking in 192 days 
. At the point where I’m at the longest sober time I’ve ever done! Ticked off a couple of big challenges including a multi day music festival & another gig - both things I would have drank a lot at previously. Realised that you don’t need to drink to have fun … Perhaps a very obvious point for some but for me my drinking was so interlinked with what I classed as fun, social events, any events really, that I found it hard to see how things could be as fun without alcohol. Turns out they can be. Feel like this is a big turning point for me. Not been in here for a while but thought I’d check in! Wishing you all a happy sober Thursday!

So great to see you checking in. Almost 200 days and some great milestones checked off. Do happy for you. I loved getting to the realization that life could go on without alcohol and I could still have fun and be fun to be around. Who knew? Guess all our sober fellows did .. grateful to be in this path with them and you. Keep up the great work

Glad you are aware of the addiction tricks…yrs- the minute you start feeling good then your mind wants to tell you that you are good…you don’t have a problem…one won’t hurt…etc. all lies as we have tested this over and over and never had a good outcome.
Glad you have a solid plan to stay with your inlaws and read. If the urges do come.. remember that they don’t last…ride the wave and you will feel better for staying sober. Remember this community is active 247 so reach out at any time or just read around. So many helpful posts that reinforce our journey. ODAAT

Checking in with 499 days… clock is ticking for the BIG 500. Hubby due in today for weekend. Cleaners scheduled to come.. Oh I have to clear the floor of work papers before they get here. Organized and removed 4 boxes from work area only to have the stuff I need to deal with NOW. It seems so overwhelming when it covers half the floor area. Ran the dog last evening and had a rare snake sighting.. I seemed to have panicked and think I ran it over with the quad and hurried Yunna into the house. Now I have to head out and see if I did run it over. Should get my car back today.. Accident was March 29th.. The insurance event was brutal. Hot expected today at 106 with 109 tomorrow.. I seem to be in the “I need a break” mood and find concentration to be at a big zero. Trying to stay positive for me and especially you all. Last weekend with Hubby was a constant never-ending conflict. I prayed all week to make me understand him and please God, you put words in my mouth and don’t let me say what naturally comes out. This might be so conceited but I am a master at raising the boiling point with my words during a conflict. I just don’t handle being put down, shut down or accused of something I did not do. Just a side note and maybe gripe… I haven’t done drugs in over 10 years. I did smoke cigarettes and while drunk never could find a lighter so have so many all over.. When heated argument arises I am accused of doing drugs because he sees all these lighters. WTF Plus never used the lighters for my habit and habit was before we got together 10 years ago. Then he found a bit of tin foil in a drawer.. God Dam (sorry) I am a bit of a hoarder.
Anyway tomorrow is 500 days sober.. yep I am thrilled… Every milestone in the past seems to be overshadowed by no support or recognition although like I have said before he shares these great things with all the other people he interacts with during his day..
Let’s stay sober today my friends.. Face it! If I was drunk I could not be here rooting Me and You all on to continue the sober journey. Follow me to fun and humor.

Checking in with 459 days sober. Took the kids to the beach for a little 2 day trip, it was fun! Honestly, this summer has been more adventurous with me and the kids. Not having alcohol controlling every moment of my day has been liberating.
One day at a time. I won’t drink today.

Trigger warning, brutally honest body image share!
Had a great working day again!
My neighbor finished the window, he placed this afternoon.
He is a great guy.
I said something like “if I am still here next year” and he reacted outraged! In a kind way. Later he said again, but you stay hm?
As it’s hard to reach the outdoor pool nearby this weekend as there is kind of a festival starting around there today I skipped the pool. Instead I was gardening which also made me very happy. Will see what I will do on the weekend.
I bought myself trainingplans for olympic swimmers 
by a very cool training team (triswim). It is also good for advanced swimmers that want to become faster and smarter.
Nothing brings me to the gym these days, think it is more a autumn winter thing to me. That’s okay.
I have a new dream. I would love to dance! Really. I always loved this. I even made the first place in my youth, was choose from 60 dance couples! And you know what? Again, it is holding me back that I am afraid to not be choose because people might think I am too fat. So in the gym and in the sauna it was the same and until here - No one said something like this and even no one was starring, at least not in a negative way.
At work a picture of a group was made and I looked totally fine. And not fat. I don’t know. 
Still alone in the house. It is nice. But I also hope we will have a better time together when my mum is back.
Much love

Day 1243
Good day so far! Had a busy morning with having an appt for my son. While out I grabbed an iced coffee and thankfully resisted the urge to pick up a donut or pastry while i was there. Making better choices!! Once home i had a proper heqlthy lunch.
The only thing that started putting me in a funk was an interaction with the mail guy that came to drop off a package. He was quite rude to me and after he left, i was stewing over it in my mind for a good 20min. Had to tell myself out loud to stop thinking about it (I find saying things out loud helps better than saying it in my head). I choose wether or not to let someone effect my day. I dont allow someone to have that kind of power over me. So i let it go and went about my day!
Now that we are home, ill do my regular daily cleaning and relax
Hope everyone is having a fantastic day!

Super excited for ur 500 days tomorrow!!! Yay!!!
I understand the frustration about being accused of using/drinking during an argument etc. My husband has said that a couple times to me in the past when i get defensive or when ive been moody. It pisses me off immensely bcuz as u know, it takes soo much work to be clean and sober. Dont let it get to u tho friend. You know that u are doing well in ur recovery. What he says is his stuff to own.
I will be here tomorrow to support and congratulate you on such a big accomplishment. Im proud of you!!
