Early morning check in. Sleep was over at 2 am. I was never a long sleeper but there are limits. Slept better while drinking. Of course not. I was unconscious. Starting the day this early is affecting my motivation to attend something after 6 pm. Is it too late for new year’s resolution?
I already have 3 items on my what am I good at list.
Day 90. Been this far 3 or 4 times before.1/2 way to my longest ever streak. Thursday night check in. Waiting for my daughter to drift off to sleep. Full day - non-stop; the only relaxing things I did were a long dog walk, and a walk with the dog and my daughter.
I took Instagram back off my phone (it’s the only social media I use other than LinkedIn). I’ll just reload it when i post travel pictures. The algorithm crap, and too many ads burying my friends’ posts has just ruined it - I regret logging in every time lately.
Anyway - I’m feeling rewarded, and grateful for all I’m accomplishing and building these days.
Talk to you tomorrow. Take care of yourself.
Day 109.
I’m exhausted.
@PuzzledActually, the solar year has just begun with the February full moon a few days ago, and we are only nearing the end of the 2025 cycle, so there is still plenty of time. I am personally not sailing off into 2026 until the beginning of March. I am still wrapping things up and going with the weather …
Hello everyone!
DAY 162 AF
DAY 129 smoke-free
Super wet weather here, and I am still absorbing lots of energy in the air, which makes my sleep very light and short. However, I did have some REM cycles because I remember my dreams, and that means I did get some sleep. Also, 30 minutes of meditation is equal to 4 hours of rest, and after my morning session I always feel fresh enough to get going.
I am going to take my bike this morning to avoid puddles and ride to the nearby village to do my hike there. I have been avoiding my town since I got sober not to bump into people and having to explain myself, and I don’t regret it. I know people here, but I don’t have any close relationships, and I’d rather keep it this way. I am busy with myself, my sobriety, and building my future by focusing on the day I am in.
I know that I am a social person and have all the social skills, but I don’t need this right now. I can put that part of my life on the shelf for now and just focus on my recovery, getting used to an adrenaline-free lifestyle, and going with the flow.
Today I am grateful for:
Wishing everyone a solid 24 sober hours!

Had a pretty good night. One day off now. It’s cold out I want to do something outside. Maybe go to the beach? Let’s have a look at the weather and decide. I’m going to have as good a day as I possibly can and I hope you will all do the same. Sober and clean or nothing will come of it. Much love. Pic is my favourite lunch spot in summer.
Edit: Well the weather looks like sh*t 
. No beach I guess. Too bad. Will make do with what I get. X
1965- sat with my partner yesterday while she had a glass of wine and she said its a pity you can’t just have the one and be OK about it, my reply even surprised myself “ what’s the point in having one, I drink to get drunk so one has got no interest to me. “ It’s took me over 5 years to genuinely believe that there is no benefit to alcohol, I used to half heartedly say it whilst luring to myself but now I truly believe it. Currently having a few days in Wales, this never happened drunk

Wild night, lots of tossing and turning.
Nice day, going to hop on the bike and do my grocery run. Nap, work, rowing.
My work project has kinda run itself into a bit of a dead end. I am not giving up on it yet, but I need to find some kind of opening there soon.
Game night tonight, very much looking forward.
Peace and love always 
Good Morning, and Happy Friday folks. We go again! 
Day 39 AF.
I slept for 8 hours last night, straight through. Now I feel well rested for the remainder of the weekend.
The Bob Vylan gig at Manchester Academy last night was brilliant. It was my 2nd gig of the year. Sober gigs are different but I’m still enjoying them, mainly because I have a better memory of them.
Wishing you a belter of a day, make it a sober one. 
Shit neighbours are horrible. Sorry you have to go through these issues. 
Hey all,
On the mend here and so glad. Just being super careful at work and my student has a doctor’s appt in the next week, so hopefully she gets a proper look at.
Things have just been busy here. Work and my husband with the new job. He was given the go ahead by his supervisor and psychologist to get our on his own, then yesterday found out the woman who is training him went to the supervisor to “strongly” recommend he not be on his own until he gets the specified suicide training that they use…he’s just baffled. She’s an odd duck and he’s been pretty diplomatic, but he’s putting boundaries around beinf around this woman. He’s far more qualified then her on paper and practice, so it’s just such a strange thing for someone to do…he’s got to just handle it.
In touch with Ministry regarding my nephew and how CPS js trying to use his funding. Next step is Ombudsmans office…CPS is just used to doing what they want and making their own rules, with no one able to question them. They fuxkin with the wrong kid who’s got a tiger Aunt. Think they would know that after 4 yrs of dealing with me.
Kids are back to fighting again…but I just got to keep my cool 
Happy each day to be sober.
Hey all, checking in on day 2063. I hope everybody has a good one 
Day 52!!! Excited to get to 60! 
going to a parade with my daughter & our friends after work tonight! Bringing my ice chest for sparkling waters 
MAKE it a great day!! 
It’s a postcode lottery, literally…
Good morning friends, day 92. Work should be as busy as I let it. On-call this weekend but should be OK.
One more week and then vacation with Emily and her family. Linda and I are taking them with us on a cruise.
Have a great day!
Day 1454
Morning everyone! Im feeling a lot better today! 
So is my son. So he will be going to school this morning for his half day of school. And ill he heading to the gym for some weights and light cardio. Then off to Starbucks to treat myself to a nice coffee beverage 
Today will be a freakin amazing day!! Im so excited to get back to the gym! Like u have no idea lol. Im grateful that I wont have to miss work this weekend also. Hope everyone has a fantastic day! Much love!
Happy Friday, morning check in here. Will be a quick one. High effort day/week/month/decade. Feeling the combo of lots of coffee, short sleeps, and skipping some vigourous exercise this week. Daughter is healthy and happy, and wife is managing a heavy week. So many pluses. Off to a maternity appointment in two minutes, to check in on baby number two, who’s due to meet us in three months.
Peace and love.
Good morning, checking in
We’ve had a loss in the family on my husband’s side. It’s a day of grieving in my house. Plans are solidifying as we speak for the service and I’m realizing I may be alone yet again for a few days. It’s an important time for me to make some plans to protect my sobriety. Better plans than last time. I can do this. I have the resources and a long history of time under my belt, proving to myself if no one else that I’m capable of staying sober. Today, I’ll write out some plans, take care of my husband, and set aside some time to journal. I hope you all are well today.
Only road trippin’ on day 80 no weed.
