Day 21.
Finally made it to three weeks!!! Ended up super busy yesterday afternoon and evening. Today and this week are crazy busy at work. I hate I am missing so many check-ins, but work and life call for my attention right now.

Woop woop 21 days
Hello!
Today is day 9 for me! I woke up this morning and made cheesy eggs for my minis before school (which hasnāt happened in well over a year) and I styled their hair (We usually donāt have time in the morning for styling). Doesnāt seem like something to be excited about, but for me this is huge! I am getting my energy back. Yesterday I finally got back to chores I had been neglecting and still had energy to spare after! Just wanted to share that things are looking upā¦
Hope everyone has/ is having a great day!
Hi Chris, Iām sorry to hear about the passing of your dad. I havenāt been through what youāve been through but in my sobriety I am learning more and more about my feelings; and like you say, being sober makes everything better
This thread started a little while ago and really snowballed. A lot of different experiences of people with their fathers. If you are comfortable to read it over, you might find it makes you think:
Thank you for sharing Chris. Take care
Good for you! Isnāt it amazing what we find time for when weāre not running into addiction? This is a big win. Iām happy for you. Enjoy your day, and seeing your minis after work! You deserve it
Beautiful! Good work buddy!
Good perspective James. There is a lot of wisdom in your words - and joy in your experience (terror too - but joy from the growth). Iām happy for you buddy
Checking in - another sober weekend, another hangover-free Monday! Happily celebrating Day 34 - tomorrow will be 5 weeks (Woot! Woot!)
6 months dude, you are truely awesome
Woop woop, you at you go, so proud
Thanks Menno,
Ya know what, I often have to remind my wife that the best thing we can do right now is maintain the status quo. Iām trying not to cram too much into this short time we have together. Thanks for reaching out. I really cherish my TS family.
This is basically my entire recovery strategyā:grin:
Thanks Geo. I DO know you guys are behind me and I love you for it. I just wish I had the kind of strength I had a few months ago.
Giving it up to a higher power as we speakā:pray:
Bit of a hard time since Friday really since the one who I hope for support from has decided to give me the silent treatment.
All over me asking her not to call me chasing up where I am and why I was taking so long when I went to collect her car that Iād taken to its service and got caught up in traffic in both directions.
Itās a thing that annoys me.
She calls and asks to be picked up and moments later sheās calling asking where I am having barely had time to get shoes on and get in the car.
Silly really.
I asked her never to call me again to hurry me up, Iāll be there when Iām there unless Iām really stuck for ages on a motorway or something.
Note, I donāt have a history of disappearing and returning hammered or staying out or anything so itās completely unnecessary.
Sorry to rant.
So during this ridiculous silent treatment, the atmosphere in my own home has stunk and Iām sure most of you will know where your thoughts go when youāre so frustrated.
Iāve tried to begin conversation but itās just pointless resulting in moody murmered responses.
Not what I need to kill my sober buzz right now.
Whaat!? 99 days! I just checked! Sweeeeet!
Day 3
On my way to a meeting
