And good morning to you. I’m just getting started with my day. Beautiful sober Tuesday.

Wifey asked me to put in a new faucet this morning. Got the job done in 1.5 hours so I didn’t have to miss any work. :sun_with_face:

Good morning
I do hope your day is much better than yesterday! What is on your agenda today?

I have spent most of my morning fighting with technology (email accounts, authorizations, passwords, scanners and printers) – I WON! now enjoying my coffee and catching up on the TS site. Not sure what is in store for the rest of day - will let it be a lovely surprise :slight_smile: I do know that i will not sulk and will not give in to my addictions.

@KevinesKay Well done on the faucet install - hope your back and neck are not to stressed (i always find doing those jobs so cramping on my body - kudos to the plumbers that do this shit daily).

Much love to all - have a wonderful sober Tuesday! :heart:

It’s good to see you all here. Busy busy day here today. Which is good. It keeps my mind and hand busy and I don’t get bored. Boredom is what drives me to drink too. So yes glad I’m not craving this evening. Now sending kids friends home now although they are playing so nicely together, then dinner and then bed, maybe netflix.
Hope your day of all of you is going smoothly. Lots of love

Hello gorgeous. God, I wanted to pass by here the whole day but again such a super freaky busy day again :scream: it’s nice to keep busy but today was just too much and yes then thoughts of a stupid reward at night came up. No way!! I just freaked out when I looked at the watch. Almost 8pm and we haven’t had dinner yet…love this because Normally around 6pm I think of alcohol…so now. No time to waste my thoughts with this. Dinner. Then kids to bed. Myself a good shower and bed. That’s enough for today. Everything else I will handle tomorrow. There is another day right? Hope your day is going fantastic :heart_eyes:

Damn - another crazy busy day - glad that you didn’t have time to think about drinking but do want you to still have time for yourself and selfcare so you don’t burn out. Damn right - tomorrow is another day! We will have many more lovely sober days ahead of us. I do hope that you are able to relax and enjoy your evening after getting kids fed and showered and in bed :wink:

Sweet dreams love - :smiling_face_with_three_hearts: :sleeping:

Hey Julia – how are you doing love? I do hope that you are doing well and keeping busy with all the painting / cleaning for the new house.
Missed hearing from you - check in when you can.

Not much to report here - i did have to work yesterday and today at the restaurant which was nice but super exhausting. I do realize i need more time to heal. Was nice to get out and talk with people face to face (not just my siblings and parents). My brother is having some friends drop by to go swimming tomorrow so I may have some more socializing - geez - at this rate, i might sleep all day Monday :crazy_face:

Was just thinking of you and missing our daily chats…

You are so so sweet dear Jasmine :two_hearts::heart_eyes:. It was a very super busy weekend. Friends came over and we painted Saturday and Sunday whole day… I had to reset my clock yesterday night…
I’m stressed about the moving, sad to move too although it was our choice, scared of the new beginning, worried about my drinking and not having stopped for a significant amount of time. There are so many things that stress me but alcohol in my body just makes it worse.
So I’m starting the week sober. Knowing I have to attend meetings again. Knowing all of this …
Hope you are fine? Hope you had a beautiful weekend? Lots of love my dear friend

Good morning Julia
A hreat day to start your sobriety journey. I am sure itsscary and stressful right now - just think how cool it will be to start fresh in your new home where you havent stuggled with drinking. Moving is always stressful so remember to breathe and take time for yourself when possible.
Dont focus on not having significant time of sobriety- focus on your motivation and determination. The fact that you are fighting for yourself to have a better life. I know you will beat this addiction.
Glad that you are going back to the meetings. I think the routines we set for our recovery are essential at the beginning to make sure we stay on track.
Im so happy to hear from you- i hope you are having a wonderful Monday. I am super tired so will try to get some more sleep…
