You are missed #3

Hello Mischa84,

Thanks for checking in!! I am still here :sunglasses:

We were away, then had my nephew with us and daughters bday party today then off for a few days again. Been very busy, but it has been good. I love being with my family :slight_smile:

I have been on here everyday, but havent posted in the daily check-in and been more just reading or posting on other peoples threads. By the time I get done one comment, Iā€™m wiped! Lol. Sobriety-wise I am feeling pretty good. Alcohol has been around the past few days, but it was something I knew was not avoidable and prepared myself (keep coming on here, read my daily reflection, and have the fridge stocked with drinks for me :slight_smile: Havent had a craving this whole time or felt tempted, so that tells me Im on the right path here. :slight_smile:

How are you doing? How are things going at home and with the kiddies? Thank you so much for reaching out I am so touched to have met a new friend on here. I am a super introvert and live in a very rural place where I just moved a few yrs ago so I do not know that many people. Nice meeting people, online js new for me :slight_smile:

Hope you are well :pray:

My sister speaks Japanese, it might help that she lived in country for a few years but Yano, we all have to start somewhere

Immersion is the best, itā€™s how I learned Spanish, one of my coworkers was Columbian, and while learning he made me talk to him in only Spanish, he gave me books to read and movies to watch that were in Spanish,

Worse part Is you have to keep up with it, since I left my old job I barely use Spanish and now when I talk to a few people I work with now, I have to think and try to think about what I want to say, and it always comes out terrible

Aw, thatā€™s so sweet of you. Iā€™ve been running 3 Facebook groups that I created several days ago and thatā€™s extremely time consuming. I have moderators helping me out a lot, but I donā€™t want to be one of those admins who isnā€™t active in their groups and let people post whatever they want.

Oh totally get that. Sounds like you have your hands fullā€¦
Good on you in being active in your own groups.

Glad to hear from you. :people_hugging:

Absolutely flying here. Still fully sober since starting my program.
Best I have felt in years. There has been a tangible shift inside of me, and while itā€™s not linear, my trajectory has been nearly vertical. Regaining pieces of myself that I thought were long gone and never to return. Weed had eroded me, my true spirit, more than I had even realized.

Hope you are well yourself, always my friend. Appreciate the gif as I know that one probably stung a bit to post, looking at the scoreboard - lol.
Thank you for thinking of me.
