Felt I needed to express myself today
1st year of sobriety focused on not drinking everyday while experiencing the benefits of no alcohol in my body and acknowledging the emotions that had been drowned in Tequila
2nd year of sobriety had to learn to deal with all the conflicts I drank to ignore. Focused on health mind and body everyday.
Starting 3rd year striving to be the best person I can be.
Note . I just was baking some bacon only to have a fire in the oven. Clearly not the best I can be yet.

This is wonderful!!!
I would do the same. Or just fire the oven. I’m joining you in eating bacon and being the best person I can be (with a big dog 
)

Checking in with 762 days today. Weekend had some activities to share but did not want to bore anyone on the regular check in. Our niece participated in a “cow” camp nearby. It is a workshop to learn how to show your cows at fairs and competitions.
What I found incredible was some of these kids were as young as 6 yrs old and were controlling 800 pound beasts. Tips —keep their heads up and feet planted squarely on the ground. If they pee or poop (cows not the kids) you circle the cow around and reset them. I had fun.

Saturday we had a pair of sisters who grew up in the house we live in (6 1/2 years) come by and checK out what we have done with the place. It was fun hearing their stories experiencing what we get to enjoy everyday. They did not want the house when their mom put up for sale because of too much work. Yep it is a lot of work every day. Still worth the labor for us. Note. Hubby didn’t make one derogatory remark about my housekeeping or lack of diligence to make place nice. I will never have a showroom house as I live here work here play here and have dogs cat and chickens.

I love that - a showroom home is not lived in - that’s my opinion. Live your best life my friend and enjoy your space.
I am so very happy to hear that your test results came back clean - I was following from a far but wanted to let you know how relieved I am for you.

I need to vent…
Hubby closing business doors and vacating a shop he has had 25+ years. I know this is terrifying for him. Money has been non existent past months. Expenses remain unpaid and keep on piling up. He has a tenant in shop and has not paid his rent although promises everyday. Hubby planning to be fully out by Monday. Moving out costs keep incurring.
I have a rental property trying to sell. My tenants are a huge problem and hopefully after legal stuff they will be out by October. A shed on the next door property which I own and not part of Lease agreement was used to house another person by the tenants and notified by city of unlawful housing back in April. Discussion was made in April they are not even suppose to be on the property let alone use the shed I thought after cleaning of shed that was over. Sold shed and buyer came to property where shed was found full
of equipment and tenant aggressively
confronted the person and buyer left.
I am extremely exhausted with the financial crisis I am living through right now.
Note - I am an accomplished money manager for our household needs by foregoing any extra frivolous costs. No eating out, no coffee shop stops, food buying best deals and almost never any food waste. With that said., I do get my nails done and try to stretch out to 6 weeks between visits. I am due and don’t even have $40 to get done right now. So August will continue with Red White and Blue Nails and way too long to keep on celebrating 250 years of freedom. Broke but free.
Today I get to drive 30 minutes away to sell peaches and squash. If you subtract gas money from the sale I think it is not a wise decision. I keep thinking maybe this sale will produce more sales later and I really need to get out of the house anyway. Therapy would cost too and can use my outing as a session.
I have made it to the gym 3 weeks consistently twice a week which is a huge accomplishment. Yay Tailee! Tonight will be there too (pool volleyball tonight)
Funny how early in my sober journey Tequila Avoidance and keeping life ending schemes non existent was most important in my day to day life. Everything else responsibilities and such were buried. Now that I am a responsible sober person I get to bitch with my head held high that I need to get my nails done.

Grateful you came here to vent. Hope it helped. Hope you can make it to the pool and meet up with your gym friends.
That is a lot of stuff going on at the moment and its understandable to be stressed. Wish I had better words or advice. Just so grateful that you don’t have the stress of addiction to boot. Grateful you are handling life sober and like a champ.
Sending hugs and love!

For all you who pop in and read and/or post a like. “I appreciate you”. If I have learned 1 important lesson to achieve long term sobriety (884 days) is that you just can’t dwell on what was or what could be.? I don’t always practice what I preach but keep working on me. The one day at a time is important in not only not drinking but life itself. You only have right now today and try to be the best you. I do have a higher power and it puts me right where I need to be and what to do is right in front of me. I just need to listen and open my eyes wide. I love it here. I can be me.
