- I am sad. Hate it. It hits me every single year at this time: summer. Itās hard to stay motivated. But in mid-August it disappears. The days are too long, combined with high heat/humidity and Iām cooped up indoors too much. So the grateful part is, it will end in August! I donāt have to drink over it. Just try to make it bearable.
- I have air conditioning! Really good unit. And if it fails I can go to a hotel until itās repaired.
- Medicine for muscle spasms.
- Great food.
- I have 115 days sober
- My friends here. It is not easy.

Wow, tuesday is gone in a blink.
Iām grateful I trust myself that I have done a lot today albeit I feel like I woke up 1 hour ago and did nothing. Freaky summer depression thinking creeping around.
Iām grateful I was up at 2 a.m., opened all windows, had a much better sleep than yesterday and woke up well rested at 7 
Iām grateful for catfun when changing the linen. Grateful that most of the warm stuff is washed and dry, itās a relief to put away the warm blankets for a few months. Iām grateful it dries quickly in this heat.
Iām grateful I puttered around the house doing lotsa small tasks like changing batteries of clocks, sorting out papers ā¦
Iām grateful my insurance agent came over to settle the last contract, now everything insurance on houses and vehicles is contracted with the new assurance company and up to date. What a difference in costs and service in comparison to the old insurer. Iām still grateful a friend recommended her agent last year.
Iām grateful I chewed on a lot of thoughts today and took time to plan the next gardening steps. Maybe my mojo is willing to step up. One day at a time at my pace
Iām grateful for a call from a former colleage I havenāt heard in years. Nice chat and Iām proud that I still get called for gardening expertise.
Iām also grateful for two friends who called, lovely nice chats. Iām grateful I feel loved and cared. Iām grateful I love and care for people.
Iām grateful I lit a candle for a friend who died one year ago. The first year is always the hardest, whatever or whomever you loose. Iām grateful I can be there for his widow.
Iām grateful for HALT. Boy was I nervous and grumpy, had a look on the clock and happily warmed leftovers. Lifechange in 10 minutes
Iām grateful I came here for a read around. Always grounds me. Iām grateful for you all ODAAT

Today I am especially grateful that:
- The appointment I had for my daughter at the doctorās went quickly and we were done and about before her school day started.
- All the errands I had to do else did not take away too much time from my day, so I had enough time for the stuff I value most.
- I moved on with digital prototyping of my game and made some good progress. I managed to decide on the viewpoint for the game - one of the most bugging aspects of development for quite a time and one I could not work out with a paper prototype. This is a big step as it is a foundational aspect for future decisions.
- Nice weather and a good bike ride to do groceries.
- A good challenging yoga practice and my newly found capacity to deal with physical challenges without worrying.
- I started making first plans for my summer vacations. There is nothing decided yet but I have some good ideas.
- I can look on my eating habits and possible issues with far more calm and far less self-hate then I used to and find kind ways to address these.
- The day coming to an end, the summer finally starting, still so much sunshine here.
- This day.
Sleep tight sober friends

Iāve not been keeping up with my regular threads because life has unexpectedly become rather full and busy, but in a good way I just wanted to stop by and say Iām grateful to be at 11 months today and for all the benefits it has brought to my life.
Iām grateful to everyone here who has supported me on my journey, I wouldnāt have made it past the early days if it wasnāt for the kindness and support I found here. Thank you

My heart and mind are open. This is new.

Iām becoming interested in art and dance. There are parts of me that remain shrouded when drinking. I had such a small life, drinking.
-
Air conditioning, again!
-
The knowing feelings that donāt tell you what they know! Identify yourselves!
I hate it because it means I gathered lots of little bits of information subconsciously, but I donāt know how it relates yet. We do this sober a lot. When Iām not sober, Iām far less intuitive. Now itās driving me crazy but it will be a big surprise 
haha. -
I eat less in the summer! Maybe Iāll be at fighting weight by October? (Promise I donāt fight
) -
I had a great haircut and color with highlights today. I havenāt gone all out like that since I got sober. I look much better. A bit of salon is just the thing for us newly sobers!

116 days sober!
