@madds So sorry for the emotionally draining day at work. Hope the weekend is better for you. A huge congrats on your 1 year sober anniversary. Much love Madeline!
@mno Grateful that you enjoyed a day with a TS member Yeah the accident was a doozy. Grateful to be alive and recovering. I am definitely taking the rest needed and happy to have a wonderful family helping me out.
@tragicfarinelli Beautiful tree I do love that you were able to convince your MIL to go and that she had such a wonderful time Pizza, friends and carols sounds like a lovely time! Grateful your MIL is ok
@supermassivedarkstar OMG friend. This all sounds so scary and horrid. I am grateful you are ok. Grateful that you are home and healing. Hope the legal process and treatment go well I do hope your pains subside soon So very sorry for all that you are going through. So grateful that you are taking the time to document everything and gathering proof. This should indeed help in making the trial go smoother and hopefully quickly. Grateful you have a good physical therapist and also nurses around you to help you through. It is ok to cry – you have been through a traumatic experience. Let it out friend. You are strong and a beautiful soul – I wish you a quick healing journey
@lucalds Thanks friend – I am healing. A huge congrats on your triple digits I love Only Murders in the Building. Great cast and each season has a great plot! ENJOY
@dustysprungfield Great work on your 3+ months of sobriety. Glad you are here sharing your journey and stacking up the days
@tito23 WHOOHOO 3 months is amazing! Way to go friend. Love the Cube reference. Today will be a good day! I see Menno clocked it
@danielaj WHOOP WHOOP you are crushing it with the week sugar free. 50 days no smoking tomorrow Keep going strong with all your timers! Should check out the What I’m Listening To Right Now \m/ (Part 2) thread for music shares So grateful that you stuck it out and did not give into the urges. Flex your muscles girl – you are outstanding!
@jesile WOW that sounds like a rough morning. Hope all the results come back quickly and everything is ok. Do take care of yourself
@charliec YIPPEE on your 1 month milestone! Way to go Charlie. Good luck with the list… I know some tasks can get tedious and make us mutter things under our breath for this I play happy tunes to sing along too so that I can’t accidentally grumble the wrong thing LOL. Just saw your update – how cool is that! So happy for you – enjoy your meeting
@chevy55 sorry sleep is not where it usually is for you. Hope you get that regulated soon Were you able to resist gym time? Hope so
@poppyfairy Sending quiet calm vibes to your boys- hope it helps bring the noise level down Good luck friend.
@jasonfisher Good lord Jason – that does sound awful. Please take are of yourself and your hand. I understand not wanting to end the season before it begins but please do not let any injury go untreated. Hopefully it is not hurting and will heal quickly
@richardd1013 I hope the visit went better than expected. Glad you will get to see your daughter. Sending hugs friend.
@wakikki Oh man that is hard. So very grateful you didn’t drink. So grateful that you feel safe in your sobriety. I am so sorry for what is causing the Fuck It feeling. Hope things get better. We are here for you friend… I think of you every time I turn on our show… still working through it LOL.
@alycia I am sorry friend. Of course stress is a huge trigger. I am grateful you are not turning to old coping mechanisms and staying true to yourself on your eating counter. I do hope it all gets easier for you soon I am grateful that the courts are enforcing the house rules – I do hope the weight of the courts helps and that your son does follow them.
@lotusflower Often think of you friend. So happy to see you closing in on your 2 year milestone! Great work. Glad to see you doing well. Smoking really is a beast. Join us on the Grumpy A-holes (quitting cigarettes/ nicotine products) (Part 2) thread – lots of great tips / advice and support there too. Look forward to seeing your daily check ins
Checking in on Saturday evening
1081 days free of alcohol and weed
1496 days free of cigarettes
Grateful for getting in a doctor’s appointment first thing this morning and my parents being able to take me. Luckily they put me first and got me to X-rays right away. SO grateful that I’m just banged up. Nothing is broken. Just sprained, swollen and bruised and a few hairline fractures but nothing that won’t heal by just resting I think I just received the last of the reports so now I can rest LOL.
I have taken the day to sleep or lay in rest and watch a lot of tv. Now catching up on TS
Wishing everyone a wonderful addiction free day / evening – sending you all so much love
I feel you… its a jouney, takes as long as it needs to. I had a lot of plans when I got sober as well, oh, im still working on it as well. Yeahhh, still going. Oh, just right around the corner.
I’m glad you are here.. it’s a tough road, but it’s worth it.
Checking in on day 865. It’s been howling wind and rain here on the west coast of England managed to get out for a soggy dog walk though and it felt good to be out in nature.
I’ve noticed an improvement in my energy levels this week. I’ve been following a keto diet, which is meant to improve ME symptoms because our mitochondria use fat more efficiently than carbs for energy production. I was skeptical, but committed to trying it for 2 months and I have to say I’m hopeful it is helping
@Lucalds congratulations on 100 days @Madds congratulations on 1 year awesome achievements
OMG I’m just reading about this! I’m sorry about your accident but so grateful you are okay. That’s too bad about the car - I know how hard car woes can be. Take care of yourself and I hope you are getting some rest!
@JazzyS yes it went well, thank you! Got to spend quality time with both of them and my wife didn’t mention the separation once. She held me a few times and said she loved me. Even got a few pecks i was able to send some money to help with groceries, just trying to provide as much as I can. Felt good.
Hard to believe that a week from tomorrow I will have 9 years! I could rarely go a day without drinking wine 9 years ago. On the occasions when I did manage to go a day without, I would make up for it by drinking MORE the next day. I’m glad that’s over with, and all of the cringe moments that came with my drinking. Things are so much saner sober!
Today I got my hair done by my stylist who’s in AA. It always feels like a mini meeting when she does my hair. I also did all of my Christmas shopping online for the twins. I hope I didn’t get scammed buying a Grinch sweater from Hong Kong that my daughter wanted. Well, maybe I got scammed out of my $50 for the sweater and some Grinch socks, but I hope not.
I’m getting things set up to take my kitty to the vet hospital, hopefully on Monday. She has pancreatitis and super high liver enzymes. I don’t really want the bills from this. I’m hoping they are generous with the Christmas bonuses this year. Otherwise depending on what the bills come to, it could take me a while to dig myself out, maybe a year or more. I never thought I would put a pet over my financial health, but here I am. ODAAT. Hope you all have a good 24 hours!
Adult coloring works for me! Detailed coloring, especially mandalas. I bought some brush tip markers, crafts, video games, movies (preferably clean), reading my Big Book, Bible, prayer! Good luck..hang in there
Today felt peaceful. Like the constant spinning and sensory overload fell quiet for a moment. Nothing has changed, really. But, after a spectacularly challenging OTF cardio day and a long, hot shower, I feel calm tonight. Able to breathe deeply and with intention.
Hubby made dinner for us and I was able to make progress on my Translation Project for a few hours. Spending the rest of the evening with our feet up, watching movies with the pup. Tea is brewing and the firplace and Christmas tree are lit.
Grateful to live today inside a Norman Rockwell painting. Grateful for moments to catch my breath.
Made it to day 400 as of yesterday! Proud to have gotten this far and will continue to!! My birthday is Monday and I’m celebrating with family and friends Sunday so that’ll be fun!! Another year gone by and it just goes to show how hard I’ve worked to still be here and live a happy and fulfilling life!! So my birthday means so much to me this year! Can’t wait to celebrate with my twin sister too!! We’ve both been through so much and we are the happiest we’ve ever been!
I do love that you were able to convince your MIL to go and that she had such a wonderful time Pizza, friends and carols sounds like a lovely time! Grateful your MIL is ok
