Bought one of those mini bottles of red wine (1 glass) to stick in the hunters chicken sauce I was making rather than buying a bottle and praying that I somehow wouldn’t drink the rest of it, which would have required willpower that I’d rather not have to use !

Finished packing my roof carrier for my trip west, now just some odds & ends which I’ll do tomorrow. Lots of room for my doggos and their beds in the back thanks to having all my stuff up top 
. Trying to limit the stress on this trip. Froze meals for the hotels so I don’t either go into a restaurant & get tempted or go to bed hungry & then have poor energy for days 2 & 3 of driving. I’m very excited to get back to New Mexico & be with the horses, it’s my favorite place on earth. Excited to see if being sober helps with acclimating to the altitude and sleeping better. I attended my morning meeting today, I don’t think I’ll be able to join one again until I get there unless I hit an evening one just right. Just had an iced coffee as my 4am start is catching up with me. Looking forward to a chill evening.

I’ve been working with 2 Sponsee’s lately. The constant reminder of what early sobriety is like is refreshing

Just living here in the present. It’s so easy at the present moment when I’m not looking towards the next hour.

Being intentionally thankful
Practice Deep breathing
Bouncing my thoughts in right directions
Hugged myself tight in a towel… This may sound weird… When my kids “act out” I have found they need really just need extra hugs. So I will give them “30 second hug” they hate it but always leave in a better mood. I found that I too need hugs when I am struggling with “acting out”. I feel stupid trying to hug myself it but it’s the only hugs I get. 
Desperate times call for desperate measures.

Canceled on a work meeting that was happening at a bar and went to get Yemeni food with an old university friend instead. I said this meeting can be an email

Also cancelled a work meeting in a bar (well, I cancelled my attendance to it). No need to test my willpower today thanks.

Checked in early this morning on a different thread; journaled about how I want to feel (healthy, calm, peaceful, in healthy control of myself, surrendered to what I know is best for me). Working on identifying triggers. Gratitude for myself that I can change.

Kept a positive mind in the face of adversity, cried, talked, asked for forgiveness, asked for a second chance.
