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. ❤️❤️
Thank you my friend. I just need to drop it and do the minimum work-wise - just enjoy the day. No matter what’s going on we deserve a little happiness. I know we always catch up when we’re up to it. This is a day of where I can appreciate beauty. Just being free of alcohol is beautiful and has improved everything so much. I can’t always see it or feel it when I get stuck in my head. Time for simple things I love and the rest can wait.

Love and thank you. It sure is a perfect day.

You know what....so do I......need to put the anchor down for today....I am literally chaining myself with a heavy weight for no reason. Yes, we will catch up whe we have had some rest. Honestly, I am crazy tired....I am recovering from terrible skin issues and my body needs a day to just heal.

So minimum work for me now too....and now I am feeling better. Now where did that sun go? s

Suze, I think it’s old stuff.. making things harder than they are. I put little value on rest but it makes everything else possible. I dream of a simpler life often, and here’s my chance right now. It’s not a work day, it’s Saturday. I feel better already. Laundry is good therapy for me. The machines do most of the work. You can sit and sip tea with the cleaning sounds in the background and feel accomplished Cooking is good too. Simmering something. I don’t have to scrub the floor and things are still happening...

Let’s enjoy this day and I hope it’s not about to storm where you are but maybe it’s a great movie day.

Lots of love and know I’m thinking of you. Yes—rest !

I am watching a movie on Amazon called "The Intervention". Enjoying it already. Had no clue that the chic who played Rose on 2andahalfmen is a New Zealander.

Hey good folks, late checking in but I’m here.

Grateful for another day of sobriety.

Grateful for SR and the lovely people who give their time and energy to make it happen and always have a kind, wise word for anyone struggling.

Grateful for the friendships that sobriety has enabled me to begin building.

Grateful for new experiences and the clarity to appreciate them.

Had a lovely night out tonight, into Nottingham for a meal and then to the motorpoint arena to watch ice hockey, a first for me but thoroughly enjoyed it and our team won as well..

Drinking me would have been trying to find ways to get lifts, drinking before we went, sneaking some quick spirits every time I went to the bar, the list goes on.

Sober me had soft drinks with our meal, ice slushy during the match (got brain freeze) and coffee when I got in.

Drove there and back, really open and honest conversation with my friend, lots of laughs and the feeling of being a relatively normal person, doing stuff that other people do and enjoying myself. Actually felt like I was good company for the first time in so long.

I’d forgotten how nice it is to make someone laugh, I mean really laugh, and how it feels to genuinely just feel comfortable and happy. It’s a bit scary but it’s a nice feeling.

So I’m off to bed to reflect on my day and hopefully get some sleep. Feeling lots of emotions right now and I have to remember to keep myself grounded and moving forward. Entering new territory and I must go gently to stay safe.

Feeling positive but anxious. Everything will find it’s way.

Peace and love from this tired warrior.

NGB

Yes BK, I will pass it on to her;& thanks to others also for their thoughts

I was surprised, but honored when I opened my door to go for my hg mtg & there was an envelope just for me! SL in the midst of her pain sent me more gift cards to Safeway.! Huh what?? Again I never hinted to her in texts that I needed em but that’s God doing for me what I couldn’t; I’m just amazed & feel like crying how much this beautiful lady has taught me in short amount of time. Wow!
