So I thought Iād check in tonight. I recently met someone & weāve been spending a lot of time together. I can see this becoming a romantic relationship. Itās pretty new to me (this whole dating in recovery thing) & Iām very excited and optimistic about what I am capable of bringing to the table in a relationship as a sober man. These are exciting times for me! If anyone has any advise about dating in sobriety, Iām all ears! Goodnight everyone

Sorry you are going through such a tough time Beth. I feel for you. Do your best to not be too hard on yourself. weāve all done some incredibly embarrassing things that we arenāt proud of, but donāt let that define you or how you feel about yourself. itās ok to be sad. Itās ok to take off from work early a couple of days. Do whatever you have to in order to take care of yourself and just know that better days are around the corner. Sending some hugs your way!

Donāt trust those online tests. Besides, Iām actually autistic and even if you are too, itās nothing to worry about. It just means your brain works differently than neurotypical brains.

Thank you! Would that diagnosis impact SSRI meditations?
(Iām not going to get carried away with this, @Dolse71 just caught me by surpriseā¦ and then a few too many things kind of made sense )

If one of the tests included writing ability, yeah, I can see an āAā (or 2) there 
The topic is intriguing me. I know nothing more than Iāve seen in movies ( and my short time with Dr. Google)

Day 241 and itās Friday! Have a good feeling about today. The first couple of months in my recovery I hated weekends but now I slowly start to appreciate them again. I loved weekends because I could do as much and as hard drugs as I wanted to thinking that no one could question it. The other days of the week I had to do a bit of sneaking around with some of the stuff. Now I work, rest and spend time with my family. Feels weird to be happy just doing that without drugs.
Hope you all have a great Friday!

Cate in my experience with going through getting my daughterās diagnosis of Aspergerās. I personally think that if we all did the test we would all have some sort of place on the spectrum.
I wouldnāt worry about it.

Nowās the time to up your vigilance āBobā.
Relapse starts well before we actually pick up.
You words above seem like a " oh well, Iāve got myself out of this before" type of vibe.
Just be careful. Please.

@Hopeful777 you should dig out your fitbit! I find it so helpful and motivating. You and your sober twin @GVLNative are doing awesome and your numbers keep adding up!!

You are definitely motivated and focussed to let it work this time! What you are doing now is almost the same I did at the beginning of my sobriaty: reading here and learn about my addiction and how to beat it. I read a lot of books about it too. Even bought the āBig bookā from AA in Dutch. I made a sober plan and lived by it and promised myself I would be here every day for at least my first year sober. I pushed myself to do it all and more. Said to myself If I would fail I would go to AA or rehab. It was hard work and I still have difficult days some day. But itās doable! And itās definitely worth the work!! 
Ps, congratulations with your 12 days 
Wow! That looks so delicious @anon84416494! I think my husband needs a new job!
I need food like that!!
Day 529 
Ok, now we have officialy Corona virus in the Netherlands 
And itās close to were I liveā¦
I even was in the city last sunday were this patient lives. What a coincidence! And another coincidence: husband has the flu since yesterday! 
Iām not worried. His team was sick on and of for weeks, my hubby is almost the last one who got the flu.
But I think a lot of people are worried now because of the Corona patient was celebrating Carnival and had meet a lot of people! So who knows how many he could have been infectived?
I had of lot of panicking people in my shop yesterday and now the virus has arrived I guess today I have many more!
All bacterial gel sold out in every store at the mall! Iām curious when Iām going to see the first person wearing a mouth capā¦
āWeā Dutch people are very ādown to earthā kind of people. So If I see those mouth caps there is something changing 
Still loving my watch with my day counter on it
Have a great day and remember: it can be tough today but it will pass!!
