Internet went down in the middle of my Zoom AA meeting last night, then I couldn't check in here!

I'm all set for another 24 hours sober!

11:30 am on Orcas Island.

Looking forward to 24 hours of contented and motivated sobriety and clean time @ 0930.
Working on getting some meat in the house with refreshments.
I like mixing diet soda and lite lemonade with ice.
Having three meals delivered in a bit from ADVOCAP.
Working on being contented instead of napping.
Beautiful weather ... cool is just fine.
Everyone have a wonderful day.
I like iced coffee with cream and ice cream once a week. Gotta watch the killerjoules though as the gyms are still closed.

I watched a bit....I was pretty impressed. I could hear the players....super bonus....and how cute were the cardboard figures in the stands.
I am all for this....I am very grateful to have the footy back. ❤️

Also....there is the odd AFL game on ESPN here, otherwise it is not broadcast here....I have an international sub so I can see it all.

We are going green next Friday! That means I can get a hair cut finally! And the gym will open. I’m not sure what kind of line there will be as it was packed before this started. Officially going back to the office full time Monday. Honestly I liked working from home, but I definitely am more productive there. I’m in for another 24.

congratulations to everyone celebrating milestones today!

Things were really getting to me today..stress, worry, grief. What brought me out of it was connection. My brother called. Then I wrote to a friend. I may be isolated, physically..I’m still struggling to walk, I am working without breaks but it doesn’t have to be that way. There are hands to hold, and many things I can do for others. It’s going to get to me sometimes, and sometimes I’ll get obsessed with work. To try to run from the anxious feelings. And work until I’m miserable..constantly. Family, friends, kindness, empathy..I’ll forget those things until I feel exhausted and hopeless. I feel better now, and I’m here to celebrate sobriety and fellowship tonight—what a good feeling.

What is truly important? How can I help? I am truly blessed. Sometimes I have to stop caring so much about work and money. I am not in danger, today. I am not sick or without a job. I have food, friends, sobriety and a house to live in. It’s fear that gets me every time..things that aren’t real. Being sober is a tremendous gift. It’s easy to forget that the world opened up and I was able to use my gift to build a good life. Coming here grounds me and reminds me that I don’t have to be ruled by fear and worry. Thank you so much for being here and listening. I am happy to chat with anyone who feels lost, as we all do during this at times. Drinking life robbed me of hope and peace. Though I felt so discouraged earlier I could get back on track and check myself. It did pass and I didn’t have to drink to block the feelings. Because of sobriety them and got back to basics. It’s the connection to others that saves us when overwhelmed. My head is a dangerous place, for sure!

24 for me as I feel so much calmer, now. I look forward to reading and meditation..and writing more to reach out.

Have a great night or day

xx

Oh Leigh, I put these little Angels here for you to transfer your pain onto their broad wings. Then they’ll fly away and you should feel better. It helps, really sweetie! 💛💛
