- I’m hanging on in there. Woke at 2am with horrific nightmares and drenched in sweat. It was 29 degrees in EVERY Room. No escape, no air, no breeze. I opened all the windows up wide in some fugue zombie state and put all the fans on and managed to drift off again. This is not funny. It’s testing my tolerance and my mood is low and anxious. Still awaiting details around interviews etc. Taking each day as it comes, but in the long run I’m feeling quite defHeated by the weather.
Another week of this to go, at least. It’s 34 today 
which translates to about a billion degrees in this city!

Checking in: day 117
Yesterday was a very emotional day but I managed to not let it get to me. Today will also not be easy as I will be adressing something heavy in group. But it needs to be done and it also fits in perfectly with this weeks assignment.
I am starting to feel lighter again which means depression is not as present as normal. I even already made fun plans for tomorrow! I had tickets for a concert but my sober muscles are not strong enough to go to a metal concert solo. The metal scene is notorious for heavy drinking. I feel myself moving away from it more and more. I don’t like the vibe and the people anymore, too much sexism, racism and alcohol glorification. Which is a shame because I really enjoy the music. So that tears me up. But as long as the scene won’t change I don’t think I will be going to any concerts soon.
So instead I am going to see Evil Dead Burn in the afternoon and after that my good friend is picking me up for our national pasttime, terrasje doen 
. Sans alcohol for me obviously, though maybe a bitterbal will be involved. But those are the plans for tomorrow. Today, a whole afternoon of group therapy.
Update: just got a call that group is cancelled for today….
. That sucks big time.
Stay safe and sober

Good morning guys. We go again! 
Day 123 AF.
I saw Wet Leg and English Teacher last night. It was a good gig. First time of seeing them sober, and it hits differently, better. Rhian from Wet Leg is a helluva talented and beautiful lady.
Make it an awesome sober 24 and be kind to yourselves, you deserve it.

I’m happy you have a garden, and I’m jealous you have a garden. Maybe I’ll sleep in the living room by the open balcony patio doors from tomorrow as my partner is heading off for a few days. Leaving me in this gross syrup…

I am so sorry your group is cancelled. Being prepared to share something heavy is huge. So frustrating when the window closes
We are no therapy group, but we are here for you. You can message me anytime you need!
I totally understand that you now experience the metal scene differently. I know sobriety will gift you with new possibilities and people, and I hope it will sooth the pain a little.
Big hugs, friend

I made it another 10 days and I am determined to stay sober this time. I will be working out with a personal trainer who helps those who are in recovery, that is in recovery himself. I have never been so sure that this is not the end but the beginning of a better life. When I was drinking it was for fun and the thing is I can easily put the dri k down. I can stop the next day with no problem. Yes there are cravings but not like I NEED IT. Just little spouts of let’s have a taste. But I know i don’t need it and I will live a happier life without it. Stay sober

Past two days have been heavy on the physical side, 4 hours stacking wood, then yesterday on a 7 hour bike ride. I want to deny, but cannot, that my problem with skin exposure to sun remains. And it’s easy enough to prevent, just loads of sunscreen applied often enough. But I still want to be that 10 year old kid with the permanent tan and sun bleached blond hair who ran around with his pals at the pool for days on end. I mean, who wouldn’t, right?
I did miss my men’s meeting last night, so I will find an online AA meeting today to supplement.
Stay sober!

Nope, bicycle. I was peddling about 5 hours, with one long and two shorter rest stops. I’m training for a four day, 200 mile (320 km) trip next week. This is on converted rail beds, so nice and flat, gravel surface riding. The bike is heavier than my road bike, so the effort is higher, but the scenery is fantastic, and there are far fewer cars (except where the trail crosses a road) to worry about.

It’s almost midnight. Still on vampire Hours unfortunately, Im hoping I will flip the switch on This and come sunrise keep myself up and at em so to speak, and push through till the night to reset this vampire clock I’m stuck on lol…
But I do have have something very exciting and encouraging to stay the courses past sunrise tomorrow, so I think finally day 10 kicking in, things are turning over in a few different ways.
Instead of Netflix the next 5 hours, change of plans. Gotta get my brain juices flowing again so I’m starting a new book. I’m abit late to the party on this one, I’ve had it for quite some time. Looking forward to getting into it actually.
Also FB is happier without Netflix on in the back ground, I think he appreciates the quite coz he is also keeping vampire hours with me as he does not leave my side lol. But he is currently out for the count, the heater is blasting, I’ve had a coffee, gonna hunker down and see how far through this book I can get by sunrise or 5am, 4. Hours and 55 minutes of reading time yay
Has anyone got any praise for this book?? Curious
