Today is my baby bro’s 45th birthday and I’m having a BBQ to celebrate. We live together, he quit drinking more than 3 years ago when he was diagnosed with schizophrenia(he’s on meds) but he smokes like a chimney in winter. Like someone said here, I’m also an obnoxious ex smoker, God help me, sometimes I feel like strangling him when he’s smoking. I can’t stand the smell(nauseous) or even the sight of cigarettes.
I’m off topic, anyway I’m not anxious about drinking because I don’t even think about alcohol anymore, thank God. I’ll only worry about the seasoning on my meats otherwise I’m gonna have a fantabulous evening. 
Blessings and sobriety y’all!

Checking in. I’m on day 33…again. Haven’t posted in forever, but am still around. I’m thinking it’ll be more helpful for my recovery to not just hop on here for the memes and foodies and what to stream threads. Heh. Anywho, I’m grateful to still be top side of the grass, sober.

Day 91. I’m off probation in 29 days so feeling a little anxious about it all. Scared that I will fall off once I’m off of it. I’m going to try and think about one day at a time today.

Checking in. My bf and I went out last night in a social situation that in the past I’d have found unimaginable without a few glasses of wine. But I stayed sober and it feels great. I feel a lot more aware of social awkwardness, shyness, boredom, all my real feelings, when I’m interacting socially without wine. I also feel extra aware of positive things, like when I am actually having fun, or feeling excitement or love or connection. It’s better to be more aware, including of the hard things.

Hey good mornin, day 27. Think I’m on the pink cloud bc I keep waking up feeling pretty good. Always feel a lil bleh at first. I’m having a super hard time falling asleep. Last night my stepfather had some drinks in front of me. I usually don’t mind, but last night when I heard that beer crack I felt the anger enter my body, I tried to just get busy and ignore it. I didn’t say anything Its his house so I accepted it and moved on. But happy sober Sunday, I usually take today off but I’m hitting the gym

Thank you for reaching out Beth. I just listened to a talk by Tara Brach on anger and it’s helped a lot. Owning my responsibility for how I feel is my number one priority right now. And it does suck I don’t have my #1 healthy outlet available. But I honestly think it’s been a blessing in disguise. I’ve had to literally sit with my feelings, and not try to get rid of them as soon as they come up.
Thank you again and I’m happy to see you are feeling better today
