54 sober days complete. Looking at the approaching two month mark is odd to me—60 days sounds like a long time, but two months is nothing. I am feeling the pressure of an upcoming trip with friends in March, as well as one fo my dearest friends coming to visit me in April. I know I will be expected to drink in both scenarios.

Checking in on 8 whole days.
I have the flu 
all windows are open for fresh air 
lying under a blanket on the couch…
I want to get rid of the flu… being sick at home reminds me of my depression and the dark past of active addiction 
Wish you all a sober and clean Monday!

Day 64
National holiday, but my 6 yr old has been slightly off it the last few days, so an easy day of a quick picnic in the park and shopping for kids clothes.
Even though it is not so cold, have terrible chilblains, so fucking itchy and swollen, wonder if it is a side-effect of not looking after health so well.

Going back home… after 6 days of peace in another enviourment with good people, hope the ptss triggers stay away for a while again.
Its going to be an interesting week with lots of questionmarks in what im am going to feel and that scares me. Had a lot of craving before i fled but i will stay in touch and checking in daily for the days to come.
I really almost lost it 10 days ago after 22 days in my home. Hope i can stretch it again maybe now for a full month …
But he … almos 148 days on the clock and tiktokking-on

Checking in still in a funk. I’ve been angry, not sure why. I have a lot of sensory issues that amplify over the winter. It can set my whole day off. Stress from not partnering has morphed into a what now stress. My insecurities are getting the best of me. My brokers have this amazing confidence in me, and they’re so incredibly loyal. They see something I don’t, and I fear letting them down. I’m so grateful for them, but also feel huge responsibility for their success. No more new guys for a while as these ones need hella coaching still.
Drinking and relapse have been heavy on my mind. In my past attempts I would be about a month or less from picking up a drink to be a “controlled drinker”. I’d be getting excited about being normal again, and making plans with other drinkers. I never openly discussed these feelings, just dropped off and held the feelings close as I didn’t want to be stopped. After 35+ years of attempted sobriety, with consequences severely increasing with each go, I’m finally recognizing the signs. Or maybe more caring about them? I’m conflicted, I know I want to be sober or I wouldn’t keep trying, but the incredible addiction pulls on me so strongly sometimes.

Good morning, day21. Today I start my second job, a lil excited. And it’s also my first day of quiting chewing tabbacco. Definitely feel like this is going to be a long day

Day 500. I feel a little anxious about some work related issues. And I’m leaving for a trip on Thursday. It’ll be the longest flight I’ve taken sober, but I have all sorts of tools in my pockets. Hoping everyone has a peaceful 24.
