Day 224. My dad moves to Florida today. We were supposed to get together over the weekend, it didn’t pan out for him. We moved it to last night for dinner, that didn’t pan out. So, bummed I didn’t get to see him before he moves, but the upside is I can just take a mini vacation to Florida to see him.

Stressed about work. It’s the same thing as it always is. Every single day, someone calls in. When that happens, their work is redistributed amongst everyone else. Two people out, two people’s work for everyone else, etc…it’s just frustrating because I rarely miss days unless it’s a planned vacation or I’m sick.

Other than that, it’s just going to be another solid day of sobriety, and of course the countdown to the Arnold continues!

5M 9D / I woke up today and prepared myself for today’s work ahead. I have a little side painting job that I’m doing in the morning and then off to my main job in the afternoon. I’ve been keeping myself busy by doing what I do best, Work. I was annoyed for some reason while driving to my side gig.

This money I make, is going for the time being to help out with a few things. But then I realized what I used to do with it. I used to spend it all on myself, drinking and doing blow. Then I remembered what my father told me a long time ago. Money is made to be spent. I’m fortunate that I have the means to help out my other half and family. I’ll keep working and saving. Next week I swear into the National Guard once again. I have that going for me. I need to focus on getting fit again now and I’m going to see it through.

Lord, thank you for giving me the chance to right my wrongs. Thank you for bestowing this precious wisdom upon me. I will not squander it and I will always strive to remain Humble and True to myself. Thank you for allowing me to become the man I am now. Thank you for allowing me to improve myself daily. Have a good day everyone. Love you all!

I owe this day to myself but also to this app. For the first nine months, I was on here almost every day. I have not been very active over the last 3 months, but that does not mean I have it all figure out and still need this app lore than ever.

AA has been a small help in my sobriety and I also keep this tool close by for those times.

Not a hell of a lot has changed, but my heart and mind are true to myself now. Cravings and urges come and go and every now and then I have a poor me party but I always say no not today. It’s stronger than the urges and it’s true to me.

I wish everyone the strength and courage to be present to today right now in your sobriety. Trust this journey we are on alone and together.

Thank you so much, each and everyone here. You have helped me just by being here and sharing and showing me that I will never be alone through this!

good morning everyone, my first meeting went good, i was surprised there was only 3 ppl, like I said I live in a small town so I kind of expected more. But it went good, I went in all ears told a lil of my story. And related very heavily with everyone there, I was all eyes and ears and I’m fully surrendered to this and realize I am powerless and can’t do this without all of you and these fellow a.a ppl I met last night. I’m praying every night. And I got a one month chip, tomorrow will be one month but they gave me the chip bc of the leap year. It felt so good and made me want sober that much more. I hope everyone has a awesome sober Tuesday.
