Good evening sober folks.
Very quick check in to pledge another 24 hours of sobriety if I may, didn’t want to miss the list ☺️
There’s so much going on for everyone it seems, I know of so many people having a hard time one way or another. My thoughts are with anyone struggling tonight.
I’ve just bought a copy of ‘the unexpected joy of being sober ‘... that’s not a shameless plug or anything, just read the preface and I have to say that it’s drawing me in.
I’m very grateful for another day of sobriety. The church clock in town has just struck midnight, I’m ready for bed as I’m up at 6 for work but I really don’t feel tired. I know that it’s going to catch up with me soon and I have to take a small step back and stop putting in so much overtime at work, I haven’t had a day off in three weeks but being there helps fill my days and keeps me out of my own head a little.
Just wanted to say thank you to everyone here for, well, just being here I guess.
Recovery revolves around connection and I feel like I get that here, even if I don’t contribute very much. And I’m sorry for all the doom and gloom posts.
It does help to get things down in writing though, so I’m grateful for that opportunity.
Peace and love
James
