I have heard of these legendary artifacts but have not yet come upon the magical land in which they are kept. Any directions for this weary traveller? :compass:

Day 476. I’ve learned a lot this weekend, and mainly from poor decisions. It’s occurred to me to share that though I post a lot about the good things I’m attempting to do, about how I’m trying, there is another side where I don’t always do all that. Just being real. I don’t have some drive or ability that other people don’t that bestows upon me admirable work ethic. This weekend I knew better ways to do things than what I was doing, but I was stubborn as well as more averse to discomfort than usual (maybe from stress? who knows), and stuck with my choices. Messed up, paid the price. Yeah I wish it had gone differently. But it happened, and moving forward, all I can do is be honest with myself about what happened, and learn the lessons to be learned. Thankfully in this case, I just messed up a weekend. I didn’t trigger any lasting consequences. I can’t stop making mistakes in life, but I can prioritize making sure relapse isn’t one of them.

  1. Yesterday’s visit to carnival down south was kind of nice even though the parade and other outdoor activities were cancelled due to the weather. Staying sober and clean wasn’t that hard. There was one moment somebody asked me what to drink and reacted kind of stupid when I said cola. That was it. Otherwise it was nice to see all the different people and their attires and this whole event which is not mine really. Sober and clean. And get out of there in time and have a decent sleep afterwards (albeit short) and now just feeling a bit tired but nothing like the hangovers I used to have after doing stuff like this.
    And always nice to come home to Luna greeting me, even if she’s only demanding food really. Have a good week all! Sober and clean that is. Love from Amsterdam.

Haha, touché. I guess I do have some success with patience and acceptance, but there are still areas where much improvement is needed. For me, I think it’s mostly this need to do everything now. In fact, part of this weekend was choosing to do something on a timeline I wasn’t going to meet. I was impatient and not ready to accept that I wouldn’t get it done as fast as I wanted. But you are right, I don’t lack those qualities completely. Thank you for your encouragement :blush:

I find it ironic that one needs to be patient with developing patience. :upside_down_face:

Day 74! Today was very mixed and up and down. I’m having pretty bad cravings tonight for the first time in a while, and that’s just making it hard to function. Sobriety can be hard sometimes, but glad I’m still ticking upwards in my days

Checking in, day 82.

The weather was warm today. Women and their yoga pants. And I struggled a bit to maintain custody of my eyes and mind. I didn’t do too well today, but I’ve had worse days. I’m hoping that tomorrow I’ll do a better job of saying, “No,” to the first thought and first look. It’s much easier when I do that.
