Thanks Benice! August 24th for me and I am feeling pretty good. It's not very easy but nothing worth having is. Weekends are tough, when I felt the urge to drink I have yet more herbal tea. I'm starting to hate it and will need a new replacement beverate!

Not much to report. Still have headaches in the morning, but that's pretty normal for me. Having people who keep me accountable, even if they are "only" online, keeps me grounded and sure I can do this. I am so glad I found SR.

Hello Augustables! I'm back from my hiking trip which was fantastic! We hiked the Presidential Range: Mt Webster, Jackson, Pierce, Franklin, Eisenhower and Monroe in the Whites in NH. Couldn't do Mt Washington due to bad weather. What a beautiful area. I'm exhausted but happy and doing great. Still going strong!
Happy to see you all again!

Many good stories to read here tonight! Great job, guys & gals! I'm four whole weeks sober, now... I was going to work out today, but my head is just pounding. I think I'm suffering the effects of food allergy, and I was stupid and ate egg salad. Either that, or I over caffeinated (easy to do when you work at a coffee shop) anyway, I'm always reluctant to take pain relievers because I think I've done enough damage to my liver already!! ANYWAY! This month's focus is #1 staying sober & #2 losing 10 lbs. I'm REALLY excited about my next tattoo... And I still really miss my mum. That's all folks! Keep the posts coming.. It's great to hear from each of you!

I lived in the Rockies for a year, and was beautiful. Believe it or not, (something like) this used to be the view from my home office:
The Three Sister's mountains. We only lived there for a year, but was the best year of my life. We had season passes to Sunshine, and it was great. Work hard for a few days, and when stressed, spend a day on the mountain skiing with the love of your life. Our original plan was to move to Vancouver (from Toronto), but we got stuck in the Rockies for a year. Once we drove through it, we knew that's where we're living.
Then we moved to Budapest of all places in the world, and everything went to hell.

I've been thinking, how do you let your guard down?
I don't know. There's a part of me that would love to clean the slate, and just start life fresh without knowing anything. There's another part that's glad I have the memories I do, because I know full well how cruel this world can be.
However, it's gotten to the point where my guard is up so high, I'm not willing to give the world a chance. It's a good thing to have your guard up, but at the same time, not a good thing.
I don't know.

Checking in and most are seeming to be doing well! So happy for yall! A few having some hard times but it'll pass hang in there!
I'm doing well. No depression. Feeling positive. No over worrying. No issue creating. Just living moment to moment. It's nice so I'm trying to not draw a lot of attention to it. I'll be hanging around on the outskirts today! Have a good Tuesday! 57 for me!
