Had a really really really screwed up set of dreams last night but slept well. Too well, in fact. I overslept because I'd set my alarm for 4PM instead of 4AM and now I'm in a mad scramble to get some stuff done for an 0830 call.
But... that said... the mad scramble is without hazy thinking and without feeling shame or regret..... so I'm ten steps ahead despite being three steps behind.
Happy Clean and Sober Thursday all!

Good for you for stopping in here this morning in spite of how busy you are!
That shows real dedication.
I feel that daily - or multiple times per day - visits to this site has been key to my continual sobriety.
It's an ongoing affirmation. It's when I stopping signing in here that would cause concern.
Well done on Day 6!

DAY SEVEN IN THE BAG!!!
Today was amazing... it was filled with positivity..... my business has had several big milestones this week.... the Universe is converging on my requests for help, on my gratitude, on my commitment to presence and fullness and it's responding.
I was 'go-go-go' today from 6am until late evening.... but boy, was it a good day.

Thanks, Dee!! It feels really good.
Today I'm up at 5am getting stuff done.
Last night I had a good talk with my kids to set tone for the week ahead in being our best and in helping my wife and in all of us helping our SELVES by living our best....
This morning two of my daughters and I are going into the office for a early am strategy planning meeting, and I'm engaging my daughters in some ideas for the business.
The stars were out last night.
We'll go ice skating tonight.
We will get stuff done and we will be together, present and purposeful.
This IS The Way.
I found myself twice yesterday in situations where people brought up weed. For a moment, I observed the fleeting "well maybe just NOW AND THEN". I thought of Biminiblue "Just NO." That felt better than "Maybe just NOW AND THEN". How absurd it is to even think that, when the present moment clarity is so obvious.
Have a great day everyone!

DAY. NINE!!
Thanks FDM. I won't take credit for really getting the hang of it just yet... though I'm actually not at all concerned about going back now.
That said, I'm definitely looking forward to capping DAY TEN tomorrow and then stepping beyond that previous milestone of TEN and back into the territory I'd known well for a good 6 years!
I had a very full day yesterday, up at 5am, my daughters came to work with me while I had a strategy meeting with colleagues and they worked on some aspects of the business that they're going to get involved with. We went ice skating. Spent time together. Did chores. Worked on an ice rink we've been maintaining for the community..... fell into bed with gleeful and grateful exhaustion despite some frustrations of the project going wrong late into the night. Finally got to sleep around midnight.
Today, I'm weary from the efforts but full in heart.
Have a great day!!
Thanks again.

Day ten!! A very big milestone today. Well, at least.... it feels big. Having matched my longest period of cannabis-free living in the past year+, it definitely brings a sense of goodness and gratitude to this Monday.
Last night was a pretty crummy night of sleep. A lot of fitfulness, nightmares, waking and tossing and turning. I'm not sure what the heck that was about, but I suppose I'll chalk it up to having a life and a human body and a brain. Poor sleep happens!
The weekend was pretty darn fine. My daughters and I spent a lot of time outdoors together. Made some further progress in organizing the house. Got caught up on some chores needing to be done. Watched Moana.
This morning I'm up early to get a jump on my work and am feeling really tired from the lack of good rest, but am energized by the small but meaningful accomplishment of the day!
Thank you. And thank you, too Dee!!
Have a great day - clean and sober.
