I wish this for everyone Odaat

Hitting 90 days tomorrow. First sixty were adjusting, preparing, navigating. Last thirty have been healthier, more productive, and now Iām feeling miles better than I have in eons. Itās still not easy, but getting more manageable / normal. But clarity, ability, and clean thinking has been huge. One day at a time.

@JazzyS Thank you for the support. Itās been a wild ride, tbh. I just woke up and found out I need a neckbrace to sleep because I move too much and wake up in agonizing pain halfway through the night. So I hope my counter claim can at least cover all the braces I need (so far itās 4).
That being said, though. I did sleep somewhat okay until 5am and I was able to get a painkiller so even though I was awake I felt somewhat okay. Also now I donāt check my numbers actively itās nice to see the progress without expectations. Itās starting to feel a bit natural for me to not grab these things.
I hope everyone has a good mornafterevenight!

Hello everyone
DAY 101 - Check-in
Thanks for all the good wishes. I really appreciate them, and I was happy to see several milestones across the board yesterday!
So, I have enrolled in this online project about āhelpingā AI to be more human. Itās super boring, but they pay weekly and decently. I have been with them for a year, I think, but I havenāt been selected for anything for a while because I am not the best at this kind of job. This assignment is super easy, but very boring.
Iām already almost tempted to drop it, but then I think that I can commit to doing one hour a day, without it affecting my life and my plans for myself, and put aside 100 bucks per week that I can funnel into my investment fund. This is the only way I can fit this in, but I want to see the good side of it.
Besides this luxury problem, all is good. I had my haircut yesterday. The guy said I really needed one, 
but you know, when you spend most of the time by yourself, you donāt care much about looking sharp. I like my life for now; there is so much happening in the background that I know I am moving faster than what my mind can actually perceive.
Today I am grateful for:
-
time in between
-
random financial opportunities
-
homemade food
Wishing everyone a solid 24 sober hours!

Finished work in the morning and headed home, got the kids ready and we headed off to church.
Straight afterwards we shot home, picked up the wife and quickly got back out the door and headed to a beach for an afternoon of swimming. Was a hot day, not a cloud.
Now Iām back at work for final shift this week. Ended up with what is generally a quiet assignment. Not complaining.
Have a great Sunday everyone

Had a quiet inside day yesterday, spending too much time on internet but it still was a good one. Worked on making some new social contacts. Didnāt see too much news. And the weather was miserable anyway.
Todayās weather still doesnāt look great but Iām going to be out and about. Do a little bit of exercise but nothing too intense. Iām 60 after all 
. Would like to go to the beach but that will have to wait. Not sure why actually, well, itās Sunday. Sunday crowd. OK. Soon. For now this beach memory will make do. Have as good a day as you all can friends. Sober and clean. I will. Much love.

Just a quick morning check-in! I slept sooo well last night, almost 9 hours of uninterrupted sleep! Sipping on my first coffee, once Iāve had breakfast Iām gonna get my flat cleaned - gotta keep those Sunday routines alive!

715. Just about to head up to the gym for my early Sunday session in my chosen place of worship. There will be a congregation of us helping each other out with stuff and sweating together and sharing some words. All tied together with some uplifting music and protein shakes. Then perhaps some movies later in the dayā¦after my mammoth kitchen effortsā¦ Iām on double cooking duty today somehow! Iām going to attempt BBQ ribs from scratch!! Be good
I might make another little felt gnome, it was very relaxing to craft in front of the TV!

Good morning 
I havenāt been on here for a while so just thought Iād check in.
Today I am 306 days sober!
Life still has its struggles but itās so much easier to cope, Iām so proud and thankful that I managed to get to this point. To everyone struggling to stop drinking, things are so, so much better without alcohol. I promise. Keep going, it took me a very long time to stop and itās absolutely the best thing I ever did. I feel sad looking back at the old me but I guess she made me who I am today.
Love and strength to everyone xxx

Greyness everywhere, light box it is then today. Still feeling exhausted and taking everything slowly, spending lots of time with sangha and on the couch with streaming services.
Peace and love always

Day 702,
Massage was awesome yesterday, thoroughly enjoyed. Today continue with lighting work in gym and cleaning up. Maybe hit the stationary bike for a bit but nothing too aggressive as Iām not supposed to be pushing **sigh.
Otherwise up nice and early, coffee is done and itās now 6am Sunday morning. Trying to remain somewhat quiet so wife can sleep for a while as she has another double shift today.
Body battery, HRV is still in toilet. ChatGPT figures Iām just in a large recovery needs hole, so since Iāve based all of my training, fitness and movements with pretty decent success with its help, I will continue to follow the recommendations (though never blindly, I question about everything it tells me), as itās been pretty tight to date. It truly is a remarkable tool if you know enough yourself and ask it in the right ways.
Not yet my friend. Iām trying my absolute darndest to get out of this hole of recovery Iām in but I think it may just take me the rest of the month unfortunately. On Monday I will begin back doing something (anything), but it will be light and controlled. Think a 6 of 10 exertion rate. And try to do more zone 2 cardioā¦ I think perhaps Iām shy on that regardless so will use this time to try and implement more of it.
Otherwise, wishing you all a fantastic day as we begin the countdown to the holiday season for those that celebrateā¦.

Good morning.
As Christmas approaches my beautiful wife has started stocking up on gifts for friends and relatives. Some of that is alcohol, itās left in full view not hidden or kept in some of her more elaborate hiding places which sheās established over the years. Couple of things here, I am very much unbothered by this. I have no urge to snaffle a few cans or commender any of it. 2, she trusts that I wonāt dip into it. For many years I would have cleared that stash out in double quick time. She would have been quite vocal and disappointed. Right now there is no issue. Both of these things are flexing my sober muscle. Any time.i flex this I acknowledge it.
I will continue my Xmas related posts and offer any advice or share my learnings. I have had some sober Xmas over the last few years and let me tell you something. It beats hands down the boozy ones.
