24 please.
No feeling to good today. Trying to get out for coffee/lunch etc at weekends. Making sure I stay connected and all that, but today I really want to hide. I'll go anyway and feel better for it.
Love to everyone xxx

I'm loving being three years sober and to celebrate, I've hired a rug doctor and am having an awesome morning cleaning my carpets. My, how I have changed. It's totally brilliant!! And the best part is, once I finish cleaning the carpets in each room, I get to pour away all the black, filthy water. It's so satisfying. And feels strangely symbolic on today of all days. The black dirty water is all those lost years of drinking and by pouring it down the drain, I'm able to refuel with the pure clear waters of sobriety. Love it. Onwards towards year 4.... One day at a time. 24 more for me please xxxx

Congratulations Milestoners xx
Thank you for the welcomes back and good wishes. Sorry to bang on about it but this came on 3 & 4 weeks or so after my last drink so please look after yourselves (I hadn’t been eating enough, let alone properly as had lost my appetite) and if you do feel off colour please see your doctor.
As Dee says DKA can be fatal and if it had come on while I was at home rather than at the hospital then - as I live on my own - I probably wouldn’t be here now.

Good morning SR.
I'm in a pity party my hernia hurts a lot and Dec. 10 is my appointment to see a surgeon, and them who knows how long for surgery. some people ask why still single , ( woman )hey them don't look my way what can I say, lonely.
A Buddhist prayer of forgiveness
If I have harmed anyone in any way,
either knowingly or unknowingly though my own confusions,
I ask their forgiveness.
If anyone has [harmed me in any way either
knowingly or unknowingly through their own confusions,
I forgive them.
And if there is a situation I am not yet ready to forgive,
I forgive myself for that.
for all the ways I harm myself, negate, doubt, belittle, judge or be unkind to myself through my own confusions,
I forgive myself.
24 hrs. more for this crazy old man.

I needed another free pass today but I struggled with it. The ‘shoulds’ started. I should go out and fight the crowds and food shop, clean, new clothes, errands, car washing, cooking, home maintenance, financial stuff, yard maintenance..oh..paint the patio..why am I so lazy and worthless.
So I went and showered so I can look my best in public. Then I decided to look my best for no reason and do nothing today. Why? Is it enough to stay sober today and look after myself? I have impeccably clean hair. I made an omelette. I am so weak and tired. Grief, work and little else. Saturday is the only day that I can do that, and even that usually doesn’t happen due to obligations. What would happen if I didn’t make things worse? If I watched a show and the birds. It’s a perfect lovely day—sunny, crisp and cool.
I am so mean to myself. Does anyone relate? This ‘taskmaster’ garbage. That I’m just not good enough unless everything is perfectly done.. regardless of an extended, heartbreaking family crisis in addition to a very demanding job. I haven’t picked up a drink in a long time. I was thinking of drinking today because I want to escape the tyranny. Just going to drop it. I will not drink and rather just be imperfect and lazy and talk to friends. Sit in the sun with tea. There’s someone that needs me happy and rested. Probably several people. We can help each other. We can feel better.
Xxxx and much love

VoVo darling, you know I relate. s
Clean hair and a beautiful omelette and sunshine and birds and a nice show or movie and maybe a walk....this is a perfect Saturday. I think.
And this: I think it was Chicken Soup For The Soul where I read (years ago) that the happiest and most successful people always have full inboxes.
We got sober and took on many more projects and really whole new lives....that's pretty fantastic. You have your lovely house, which is yours yours yours....kind of awesome huh? And I have so much....so many wonderful blessings but I am frowning because I am so so far behind in school and another course and my whole life really.....maybe that's OK. It's kind of magic that I am so passionate about so many things now.
I hope you can relax and take the day for you. ❤️❤️

Efra, you’re a fine man and I appreciate you sharing so honestly. Please look after yourself so you can heal. We are sober and that is the most important thing. We’ll get through these tough times together. When you’re in the middle of it, it seems like it’s always been this way and always will be but it’s not true. There is hope and better times ahead—it’s a promise. Big hugs to you, my friend So glad you are here with us.
Xx
So glad you are here with us.Xx
