Happy Sunday! Quoting myself here. Lol. I just added this to a less active thread but then thought to myself, “hey self, this might resonate with someone else.” And if no that’s fine. It is important for me, even as I approach five years of sobriety in early 2026.

Day 11
You know what, not everyday will be the same and that’s okay. It’s Sunday! I’m allowed to be out of routine this morning because I’m being kind to everyone in my house by not making noise while they sleep 
I was in the living room, just starting a meeting when the kids woke up. I got to see their faces when they saw the elf set up. I left the meeting and just enjoyed the moment with them.
Now I’m relaxing, having a delicious cup of hot coffee. Looking at the ridiculous amount of snow that fell last night and still falling now. I’m not demoralized that I have to clean it today. I’m lucky enough to have a workout and fresh air later.
Today will be a home day, a little bit of cooking, some cleaning and a lot of relaxing! I’m going to do one meeting today, a little reading and some writing. If my wife feels like doing a YouTube video, I’ll happily be the camera man and do an edit. I’ve made a lot of progress this week, I’m going to reward myself with being present!
Enjoy the day everyone, make it what you want!

Good morning friends, day 24. Things are still tense around here but I am confident it will slowly get better. Linda is really embarrassed that her sisters have been talking about us and our marriage behind her back… It’s all my fault as most things are. One day at a time is all I can do… I want to stay married but it might be out of my hands.
Have a nice day.

Stay strong, people always have an outside opinion that means nothing!
10 days ago, I posted online that I want a divorce and before I could delete it, many people saw it. I was embarrassed, but everyone that’s ever been in a relationship knows how hard it is. No one took it seriously, and everyone can empathize with frustration.
For the last 11 days we have been working as a team. Talking turns talking about one resentment a day. Both of us have been putting in the effort to make this work. We share gratitude lists everyday. We have a lunch date once a week. We have been walking stores together and cooking together.
As the old saying goes… Two people can move a couch real easy. Keep working, keep communicating. Actions speak louder than words and time heals all wounds.
Best wishes!

I’m a porn addict. Eleven days clean. Today a high school friend is bringing me to church with him. I’m scared, embarrassed, and ashamed.

We’ve all felt that shame. But you’re here, and you’re trying, and that’s all you can do. And it’s worth it. Hope you have a good day today!

Checking in on Day 101. I haven’t been on a whole lot the last few days. It’s been crazy around here with the holidays approaching. I have barely even done yoga! Although…. my ol man got me a mat that I have been drooling over for over a year and it’s coming today so I’m sure I will be doing a lot today. The best part of being an adult is getting presents early lol No one to tell me I can’t peek 
Now to caffeinate and impatiently wait for my deliveries lol. Today would have been my big brother’s birthday. I will surely think of him, but I will not let it take me down a dark road. Light and Love ALL

Happy Sunday morning.
I’m up early getting ready. Going to be a big day with my wife and daughter. I’m making brunch, then we’re gonna go to a photo shoot, then a tree farm to get a Christmas tree, then home to decorate, then entertaining the in-laws later this afternoon.
I’d love some time to relax and unwind, but it’s not in the schedule these days. Staying positive and trying to enjoy life in the present today. Very glad to be sober for a long time, and this morning -ODAAT.
Peace, and thank you for being here.

Thats understandable but you just repented, and you said it too another person.
Biblically speaking.
God forgives you. All is done.
It is absolved.
Shame and guilt are not from God, but the devil.
In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, let the Holy Spirit fill you up. In His love, care and restoration of hope.
I pray that you attend a loving, joyful, bliblically accurate church today that does put Jesus first.
Amen

Decided to take my son and stay at Hotel, i get them for free. Something different.
Last week my mom asked him what his favorite thing was to do.
He replied, “Be with the community at Church, read the bible.”
God has already built him a strong foundation, community and guidance.
Thats more than I could have done by myself.
Anyways, God is great, off to Church in an hour.

@acromouse @bunto Here, the first candle is burning as well, and I’m wishing you a warm, peaceful, and light-filled Advent season!
@SupermassiveDarkStar I am glad you feel safe at the facility. Wish you rest and that you mind can calm down. Take one day at a time!
@Aedan Wow, thats sparkly! Hope you are doing good on your sober journey and enjoy decorating for christmas!
@Just_Laura I’m really sorry you’re going through all of this at once. It sounds overwhelming, and you’ve handled more than anyone should have to. I’m glad you took a day to rest! I hope tomorrow brings a bit more steadiness and care for both you and your dad. One day at a time 
@poppyfairy Amazing! Huge congrats!!!
@Lucalds I can see the love you have for your father, and it’s truly beautiful.
@Mbwoman Rejection is such a challenging theme. And it almost doesn’t matter whether it really happened or whether our minds are just spinning around the idea that someone might have rejected us. We all want to be seen — it’s one of our most fundamental human needs. Not feeling seen, or feeling seen in the wrong way, is a deep kind of pain, one I know very, very well. When we look for relief on the outside, we’re often disappointed. What has helped me is being grateful for the moments when I do feel seen — and I am still learning to give tons of that recognition and gentleness to myself. Thank you for sharing
@LimePuddin1 Glad to see you here! I am sending safe, confident, self-accepting hugs along your way!
@CR84 Yoga is alwys there for you and I wish you the best time when you`re on the mat!

42 days smoke free, 22 days binge eating free, 1 day sugar free
Today was filled with so much silence and calm — something I desperately needed to recharge! I poured myself into my watercolors, and it felt like a creative explosion… and wow, some truly beautiful things emerged! It was a peaceful, healing day with my daughter. Moments like this remind me that life really is beautiful.

Morning everyone! I really could’ve slept in for another few hours today, but I had to go to work. Got here about an hour ago. Have some monthly paperwork to do and then will wait for my client to come home from his family visit.
I actually prayed this morning on my way to work. Felt good! Ive been neglecting my morning routine lately, so its time to get back to that.
Im excited about this week coming. I have lots to do, including celebrating my birthday!! Ill be turning 41 years old on Dec 3rd 
Im grateful to be hitting this age, as there was a time in my life where I truly didnt think Id even see 25. But here we are!!
Im grateful for all of u! Grateful for my recovery and for the many blessings that Ive received because of it. Have a lovely Sunday everyone!
