Taking care of my plants, eating lots of good foods, working..... Oh and my notary application was approved. Just trying to keep chugging along. Haven't been making any art though.

I mean I always miss the bump to a new thread! I guess I wasn't sure what to call it. I usually check my list of subscriptions to see if anything new is up, and I just realized I hadn't been here in a couple days
Thank you for always keeping us in the list

You work so hard to keep us feeling recognized and seen, thank you so much Venuscat. I always want to tell people that it's ok to be in the threads of their choosing and to expect acceptance. You're one of those examples!
Keep Going

How come the stress is so huge Weav? I'm a little out of touch

Re me: is boring. I really set about destroying my life, in anger I think, when I was drunk. Anything left standing is toppling over in recovery. But that's fine. My mental health is holding. Stuff probably needs to go to make space for the new life I'm discovering.
Much love to you. You are doing great!!!

The meeting sounds awesome love.....AWESOME. I love 7am meetings. I think you will too.
And gosh weev, it's not boring and a great many of us did the same thing. Some of us did it over and over. Honestly love.....time for you to stop beating yourself up so badly.
How long have you been sober? Now isn't that FANTASTIC!!!!!!
It's crap having to face up to the stuff we did, the mess we made.
But better than sitting on the other side in deck chairs watching the view....not being disrespectful.....you know that.....we are ALIVE honey. Pretty magical that. We get another chance. ♥♥♥

Yeah, I'm trying to go to a meeting because lately it's every day that I remember something that I did terribly wrong while drunk. For 20 years. And I'm going to need to figure out how to clean up the mess. So I think I need some support.
Also I scheduled an intake appointment at a local therapy center, I'm hoping I can find affordable therapy there.

Lovely day with my parents today and a big walk this evening. No internet, but sometimes that's a good thing! Feeling the benefit of being outside.
A Big Congratulations to all our milestoners today and lots of love to you all. Gabe xxx

24 More is the Plan of the Day!
Don’t really think about drinking at all anymore but I had to laugh at myself yesterday. I was in the gas station quick mart looking at the soft drink selections and just happened to notice I was right next to all of the cold beer selections also. I didnt really give it much thought and went back to choosing my soft drink. It hit me a bit later that not too long ago in my past I would have been salivating at all that beer wishing I could have one. FREEDOM is a GOOD THING!!!!

I like the posts on this page! Really helps as I do a recovery evening. Need to be here soaking up the wisdom and fellowship. I don’t spend enough time on recovery, and that just does not work. I start thinking too much, and tend to get stuck in ruts and circles.
Feeling ill at ease which would always be a signal to drink. Like feeling small, cut off, rudderless. Fine. They are just thoughts and emotions—they don’t mean anything. They really do just drift on by if we don’t suddenly see them as cues to ‘action’. That action was almost always to drink. Do you ever have thoughts and feelings that you know are fake? I will wager the whole thing disappears after supper. I probably need immediate foodstuffs. I will come back after a snack.

Hi everyone
Checking in from sunny Australia, 8am and 16C. Lovely clear sky, it’s going to be a beautiful day ❤️
Lovely to wake up and read all your posts as I drink my morning coffee
You’re all so awesome and I just want to hug you all today ❤️ especially you Venuscat
I must admit these roller coaster emotions are interesting to say the least! I don’t remember feeling such intense emotions before (happy, sad and everything in between). 66 days without a drink after 30 years drinking might have something to do with it.... 
Sending love and support to everyone who is struggling today ❤️
Congratulations to everyone who made another day without a drink
One day at a time.
Another 24 hours for me please
