Matt, hello. Thank you for asking. I am well. Too much to say here yet overall, I am finding success post-divorce with sobriety and caring for myself. I still slip up yet work hard every day to stay focused on leading a life of kindness. That includes being kind to myself. This was such a beautiful message to see. Thank you. I feel blessed. I hope you are well.

Happy for you! 
It is so wonderful to find your stride. I’m happy you’re flying with your own two wings and learning more every day.
Sending lots of love & best wishes to you - I remember you and I’m thrilled about how far you’ve come over the past 1.5 years. I’m happy for you!
You have made my day! Thank you, Matt!

Hey Matt! Thanks for checking in on me! I’m now on day 2. I have been up and down. Now taking it day by day. I wasn’t really ready to commit to quitting drinking. Now I’m just “not drinking today”. Hope you all are doing well. I missed the community.

Yay Chels! That is a good plan. Smart. I don’t know about you but to me the future stresses me out - just thinking about all the random possibilities. Focusing on today, one step at a time, helps me stay grounded.
You always have a community here. It doesn’t matter what the count of days is. You are always welcome, if it’s day 1 or day 100. (And since we’re all taking it one day at a time in recovery, then it’s one day at a time, right?)
What’s on the agenda today? Right now I’m at work & it’s a beautiful sunny day - also very humid & there’s a thunderstorm warning. I’ll probably take a walk after work if it’s safe to do so. What about you?

Thanks Matt I appreciate your support as always. I hope you are doing well. I’m at work on my lunch break right now. I’m getting off at 11, so not sure what’s on the agenda for right later. Maybe watch some True Crime when I get off. It’s hard fighting the urge to NOT drink when I get off. Kind of white knuckling it🤦♀️

At work on lunch break - sounds like you’re working nights! (I’m assuming you’re in North America). That schedule can be tough; it’s tough when you get home late, because you’re all up in your head and everyone else is asleep.
I admit I enjoy a good TV binge - at the moment I’m going through Star Trek Discovery (big Star Trek fan) - but also, some time to take walks, work on the garden, do some baking - these are all fun. What do you like to do for fun?
Meetings are a nice way to pass the time; it helps especially at those times where we may feel lonely. (You know the “HALT” triggers: Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired - four things that are trouble 
) The beautiful thing over the last year is how many have gone online:
Online meeting resources
And there’s also the social zoom meetings with the lovely folks here on TS!
One of the neat things about sobriety is it’s an adventure of learning about yourself. It’s like you discover new parts of yourself every day. It’s a journey

Hey, Eric! Thanks for thinking of me!! Doing well, doing well. Not too long ago I celebrated 500 Days sober, and last Friday was 17 full months AF for me!
Been busy with work a lot of the time, and when I’ve had free time I’ve been doing a lot of cycling on the country backroads here in Vermont and doing nature photography. I bought a new (used) car the other day, and am doing the paperwork and red tape to get my license back so I can drive again, so there’s that as well.
In short: busy, but living life on life’s terms. And what has been a pleasant surprise is it DOES work if you work it! Sobriety has done so well for me!! Hope you and all here are doing well also! I’ll be sure to check in more often, I promise!
