Itā€™s as great as ever, starting to get some grays in the sideburns :rofl::rofl:

Not around much, just settled in life and doing the family thing mostly. Been in Arkansas for the last week visiting family and not on my phone much at all.

Hope all is well with you bud!

Things have been up and down. :sweat_smile:
22 Days clean from my DOC. 3 Days no drinkingā€¦ Iā€™m trying to get back on track again. Itā€™s hard. The best things usually are though, right? :slightly_smiling_face:

Absolutely :slightly_smiling_face:

In my experience the times when Iā€™ve stumbled have happened because I hadnā€™t yet really practiced the sober perspective / sober skills to ā€œride the waveā€ when something stressful or unexpected happened in my life. Because I hadnā€™t practiced those skills, I ā€œcopedā€ by turning to the way I had coped for years before that.

Coping with stresses and anxieties is a bit like learning to cook. Weā€™ve been eating junk food for so long that we instinctively turn to the chips when weā€™re hungry. But the more we practice cooking up a healthy and satisfying meal - of healthy strategies for self-care and anxiety management - the more satisfying we find it, and the more automatic it becomes.

Keep it up; donā€™t give up. It is a big change, and no one said it was easy. (Itā€™s pretty simple - but itā€™s not easy.) Youā€™re nothing if not persistent though. You have what you need to do this :muscle:

Does anyone know what happened to @farmer ? Heā€™s disappeared and I just wondered if anyone knew if he was ok.

He got upset because thereā€™s an Athiest thread and left.

@Ninetales how have you been?

Thank you Dana. I was really sick with covidā€¦ Finally feeling better but not 100 percent.
I need to check in more often. I have had to reset as the last couple of days I slipped. Iā€™ll be checking in every day starting now.
I havenā€™t really even been keeping up on reading a lot hereā€¦I hope you are well.
