Hahahahaha. No, we bought it last week, it’s just coincidentally getting delivered tonight/tomorrow.
But yeah, the timing is comical.

Thanks for the response! Yes, I might postpone! I do think it would be very challenging. But what’s harder, all that time alone or the challenge posed by a date? Argh, the struggle continues.

Third check-in, day 4. A little sad today and hosting friends for dinner tonight- dangerous combo but I still don’t feel like drinking after a brutal hangover last weekend. So I know I’ll be fine tonight. And getting excited about hiking/ doing chores/ working out/ cooking this weekend. And I’m at the halfway mark- a full week sober is in sight!

Ticking along nicely. No issues today no cravings. I’ve just got to keep doing what I’m doing and the days will look after themselves. I hope that dosnt come across as being arrogant.

147 days. I had to step out of my comfort zone and speak in front of 200 people. Never did this sober. Always had something funny to say in the past but not today, it was all business. Hopefully humor will come back in time. It was a meeting at a client to explain their benefits to their emplyees so it’s boring as hell.

I got through my busy work day, got home, made dinner for kids, and I’m happy to realize I barely thought about drinking until now. I know cravings will come again but it’s also great to realize you can change your habits and mindset, so happy hour no longer seems like wine o clock.

- Checking in. I was going over some of my recent posts this evening and it dawned in me that some people has been nice the last few weeks
I’ve always tried not to talk about myself too personally or the way I approach my recovery because I always felt it would just wind people up. It’s way easier for me to talk about work or music because we can all relate to that, right? Having been more vocal about it the last couple weeks, I’ve had some really great response to it and I’m grateful for everyone who did and a couple people saying they would try to adopt a few of my ways was really touching. Cheers for the likes and responses. Ppreciate it.
