Maybe start with a gated arch in the front yard with :lion::fish: on it. And maybe a few horse shoes over doors for luck.

That’s an incredible picture @050Nl! I’m sorry your PTSD was triggered but glad you made it. I’ve been doing fine. Still sober. Trudging along one day at a time. I’ve been lazy about checking in here but I lurk and read every day. Thanks for the shout out!

Day 162. Still sober. Feeling pretty meh but I’m pressing on. I’ve been lazy checking in here but I’m reading and lurking like a pro. Love to see everyone’s days stacking up and the milestones that have been reached. If you’re new here I want to tell you to keep going! I promise it gets easier as the days go by. Don’t give up on yourself. If you’ve hit a low…press on. Reach out for support and don’t quit!

After using this app off and on for a loooong time, I realized its time to add an avatar picture. This is my hedgehog pencil holder from my desk. My long-ex husband got it for me in Italy many years ago. I like it because it’s cute, it’s functional, it represents something very important to me (writing), and I like the symbolism, that you have to add the value (the pens); they aren’t there automatically, and they change every day when I move them, just like the whole growth recovery journey. I also like that things that could be negative — like ex husbands, and prickles — can be positive elements in today. Plus there’s the famous fable of the fox and the hedgehog: the fox has many tricks, the hedgehog just one: but sometimes one is all you need. One day at a time: one rule, don’t drink today.

Hi everyone, I will soon be jumping into day 26 but caught this along the way


I’m skipping along here quite nicely just letting the days add up on their own and enjoying life in the process.
I love not smoking. I love coming straight home and creating a new routine. The good lady is still away so I’m going to get my tea (that’s dinner up north) on the go and take the dogs out. It’s cold windy and sunny here now, it’s been pissing down all day.
Then I’ve got the 2nd series of Castle rock to blitz.
Everyone seems to be doing so well on here lately and those that were having a rough time seem to be turning a corner now which is really satisfying to read.
Keep doing whatever it your doing everyone, it’s working. :raising_hand_man:

Checking in on Day 212. It’s my Friday, so that rules. The show tomorrow is still on. Lots of drama surrounding our lack of practice…but, that’s a story for another day. Slightly stressing the show, as it’s going to be a shitshow of drunken buffoonery. Going to get through the set and bounce. Not even worried about my cut of the $$$.

Outside of that, rolling right along.

Have a strong day!!!
