24Hour Recovery Connections Part 362
Good morning my 24s, please count me ALL in.
Congratulations to our fabulous Milestoners!!
Spring is just around the corner and the birds are singing. The gifts of sobriety just keep giving....I started my spring cleaning this weekend. It feels good to be so organized.
Wishing everyone a sober and peaceful Sunday (or Monday). Love to all....xxxx

That's it Erfra, it's that deep knowledge that this isn't right, that we can be happy and can heal all that pain. I'm really glad you had a better day and thank you for your beautiful posts. I look forward to reading them every day 💗xxx
Wish I was as fit as this pup - https://i.imgur.com/tvb4pd7.gifv
Thanks for that Neo. I kindov hoped Ireland is warmer than here, like the Azores or Madeira or something. My geography leaves a lot to be desired but I would like to be on a desert island 🏝 right now. Can you imagine! Oh so good. Somebody better not tell me they’re in one right now.
Aren't we lucky to have erfra??? Just so so blessed??? ♥♥♥
Hi guys. I'm going to start checking back in to this thread each day. I've had some decent strings of sober days over the past 2 years, but still fall off the wagon every few months. And when I fall off, it's usually quite a doozy!
Anyway, day 2 here for me - my new day 1 was 3/17/18 (appropriately St. Paddy's Day!).
Hi Venuscat

PS I have that many bloody plants in here right now (Nick counted over 150 in the kitchen atm) I don't need to use much imagination.....

7:41 am and checking in for another 24. It is a beautiful day here in California. We are heading to the HS track soon because my husband told my daughter that it was easy to run a 74 second 400, and he can do that without a problem, she told him to prove it. I am going purely for the entertainment value, and to make sure to document this in video, I am also prepared to call 911 if necessary.
Congrats to all of our Milestoners today. Have a great Sunday everyone.

You're not unbalanced at all.....honestly honey, you know about this stuff....you are qualified and if you read back, you will see that you are completely rational and logical at every point.....you are HURTING....it is a lot....you need help to work through all of this. And you need to rest and hydrate and eat....first....

While spring cleaning yesterday I tackled one of our bar areas. Didn't think twice about it until I saw and smelled spilled wine. My throat tightened and my nose puckered up. I shut the refrigerator and left it for hubby to clean or it can stay dirty! The sight and smell triggered a tiny tiny craving, so I ate a BIG bowl of ice cream.
At just over 2 years sober, I'm still surprised at my triggers. I can sit through a dinner party or social event, surrounded by drinkers and not be bothered at all. Yet, a tossed & empty small liquor bottle (the tiny ones that fit in a purse or pocket) on a walking trail can bring back bad memories and that throat tightening feeling.
Thanks PJ about the HALTS reminder. It has saved my sobriety many times.
H -am I hungry?
A - am I angry?
L - am I lonely?
T - am I tired or thirsty?
S - am I sad or stress?
If I'm any of the above, I try to take care of it.

24 more hours please.
Feeling restless and cooped up and tomorrow is another day without vehicle, stuck at home. Going to check out some competitive dog frisbee finals at the park I start working at Thursday. We did a lantern lit group hike there at dusk last night which was nice but only 2 miles and not challenging. Afterwards we stopped at our favorite country store where we normally get beer or wine. They've opened their new outside bar for the season, where they've got a fire pit and wine slushies. Got a little down that I never got to try it, since by the time they opened it on a trial basis late last summer, I already realized I had a problem. So we left with old fashioned sodas in glass bottles (finally got to try Bubble Up!) Small win against the very gross AV who is rude and obnoxious just like most on st patty's.

Well done, dear one! ❤️
