146.44
Checking in. Didn’t sleep well. Too much swirling through my mind. Woke us sad/bad mood. No motivation to adult today at all. However, going to get to work an hour or two early because I have a huge effing task in my plate from my most demanding and least appreciative client. My fault, I taught him how to treat me. Lesson learned and new boundaries created for other clients.
Checking in, day 184.
I know this is petty, but my counter indicated that 180 days was my half a year…but isn’t it really 183 this year being leap year? And 182.5 other years? Aren’t there 365/(366 leap year) days in a year?
So, since I didn’t check in on day 180, I missed my 6 month mark. Now the counter says “almost there”…again.
It is HARD to go 6mos sober, and seeing “almost there” was a tiny bit defeating.
Just have to remember that today is the only day I need to focus on.
I don’t do AA…so no chips. But maybe I’ll go buy myself some inexpensive jewelry to serve as my “chip”? 
Or buy yourself a potato chips as a reward 
Congratulations on Your great lifestyle 
You already know what to do, so please keep at it 
Checking in Day 41 - another hangover-free Monday!!!
It was a wonderful sober weekend: Sat my AA home group had a potluck celebration for the 34th anniversary of its founding, enjoying the Fellowship! And Sun my town conservation commission (which I chair) held a Winter Fun Day with sledding, snowman building, hot dogs & hot cocoa, and a camp fire for making s’mores.
Life is beautiful sober!
I agree, my sobriety date is June 8 so I celebrate my sobriety (each and every day but especially at) the 8th of each month. And indeed I think they don’t say you’re a full year sober at 360 days but at 365 (or 366 this year actually). Huge congrats on reaching a full half year AMtoday! Excellent work. Celebrate and reward yourself today in a way you find fitting.
Huge congratulations @AMtoday. This is a great achievement. And you can be very proud of yourself. Keep up the good work
Me either, Taxi companies are a rip off. Uber all the way
Ha!! I’ll edit the post to be correct! I’m going to blame autocorrect…no slight to AA intended at all😁.
Day 48…checking in friends😊
Thank you❤️. Yes, some days are very hard, and others knit together pretty quickly and easily. I always have my “reasons why” handy in case I get too comfortable.
Nah bollocks, keep it as it is. Its making me happy lol
Day 28.34
Geez, I don’t have time to read the approx. 200 postings from last night. 
Nothing exciting about a new work week. Busy at work, cycling challenge, dinner, work, and then bed. At least I cooked everything for the week last night. Makes things easy.
Stay sober y’all!!!’
Thank you Joy. It’s the encouragement I get, from people like you, that make this journey a little bit easier. 
Thank you Claudia! I’m still jealous how close you are to the beach. Except when it’s storming. Be safe!!
Congratulations! Good work in your journey, keep it up!
Day 43 here…
My MILs house is a hoarders heaven and yesterday I started cleaning, sweeping, vaccuuming, and it wasnt long until my fiance and his friend and my MIL joined in! Man I even organized some of the cabinets. We were all going at it for 2 hours or so. The place looks amazing now!! And my MIL is SO happy. It felt really good and I think put a shift in my energy to positive. Today is monday, a fresh week. Hang in there everyone!! I know a lot of you have been right along side me with a bad week but today is a new sober day and I feel an energy shift coming for everyone else as well
And also great job @Jane.c! You are inspiring me to start a diet since Ive gained over over 5 pounds since getting sober!
Wich app do you use? I am using the Mindfulness app from VGZ. It helps me a lot…
Day 76,
Today is my belly button birthday. It slipped my mind until just now. But I’m more happy that I’m sober. I’ve had a real good day again yesterday. Any day without acting out is a good day, but it’s even better when I’m not entertaining cravings. I’ll take it.
Correction: I messed up. My birthday isn’t until.tomorrow. February 18, 1971
This is so deep! And so true. Way to go!! God made us all so different. Part of the journey of sobriety teaches us to love ourselves just the way we are.
