Where are we going? I’m behind here and missed your travel plans. Safe travels my sober friend.

Day **1401**
I was up pretty early today. My son and I had to leave at 730am in order to get to his school on time to drop off those cupcakes (I posted a pic to the baking thread as I didnt want to potentially trigger anyone on this thread). Everyone seemed to love them!
We got home and I cleaned up the kitchen so that I can make 2 diff frostings in the afternoon for the cupcakes for my husbands work. I also changed my sons ventilator tubing on his machine and made some phone calls for supplies.
Things are good today 🙂 Busy, but good! Hope everyone is having a great day!

I had to cancel two jobs today because my employee has Covid. So not only am I out of today’s anticipated income, I’m trapped indoors all day by myself. Its too cold to just ‘go somewhere’. (Its 15 and too much snow). So I need to keep myself occupied. I’m trying to read the Old Testament….but boy is that a brutal read lol I’m on day 26 clean from porn/masturbation and the isolation is driving me crazy. That’s my check-in. ✝🙏🏻

Five months sober today. While I occasionally feel the temptation to drink, I find myself much more able to let the thought pass and move on. I turned in semester grades over the weekend, so I’m looking forward to a couple weeks to work on my own projects and decompress.

Hey friends! Checking in on day 35 AF. Over the past few days I’ve been feeling this mounting pressure against my sobriety. Not from other people, and not for any specific reason I can identify, but it’s there.
I don’t plan on giving in and I know I’m not going to drink today, I just kind of needed to share with people who might understand. ODAAT.
Sending good vibes to everyone and hopes for a good day!

Day 1, evening
Am I obliged to judge myself? It’s a good question, given that I’m hard on myself and also on others. Tonight, I’m trying to find peace.
Have a good evening.

His name is Prince. He’s scrawny but tough… About 99% deaf too so that makes it more fun…
He now seems like he needed a good nap. He got up, stretched, had some lunch and then went back to sleep.

Checking in 147 days THC free and 62 days MO free. So, I guess there’s a huge party they’ve been planning for my birthday! It’s on Saturday and family from all over the island are expected to attend. People that I haven’t seen in over 20 years. We spent today getting everything that we’re going to need. My mom said that I needed a nice outfit so that meant clothes shopping which resulted in two pairs of jeans, 3 blouses, a pair of shoes and a bottle of perfume! Happy birthday to me! We’re going to the beach tomorrow and birthday dinner at Chili’s or Applebee’s! I am spoiled and blessed. All is well at the house with the animals. ❤❤

Thanks @JazzyS for your kind words. I appreciate you so much. This community is vital to my recovery and I’ve grown to feel very supported and safe here, exactly as I am, and where I am on my journey. That’s pretty priceless. You’re a big part of that for so many of us.
Checking in on day 374
Considering a different path for myself. I hope you’re all safe today. Goodnight.

Day 166. Tired. Dashed for a bit today. Won’t have a ton of time for it soon with all of our kids on vacation next 2 weeks. I’ll try and figure out a way to make some sort of money.
Definitely drained, and happy to be sober. Handling everything life is throwing at me, it just keeps coming. It’s good not to be clouded by booze, hungover, or anything that comes with being under the influence. Present is good.
Started using BetterMe again. Well sorta, made it one day lol, did not get to my work out today… OOPS. Oh well, life is not about perfection. Just keep trying and moving forward. ODAAT

Welp checking in super late on day 116. It’s just been a day of sleep apparently. I think all the stress finally got me. I am just now getting to be productive. Every time I would say I needed to get up, I fell asleep. Definitely about to have some coffee at 9pm and read here a lot. I feel so out of touch with all this outside interference. I did get my better interface (recording) today that was so insanely quick and easy to setup. I’m almost mad I took so long to bite the bullet. Light and love all ⭐ 🖤
