Yes, pictures please Briansy 
Monday morning, and I’m on day 20 today
Another sober day ahead. I’m not working today but my sister is popping over for a cuppa which I am looking forward to. I’m in bed with a cup of tea at the moment, lovely

Hey Willow, thanks for checking in! I am now home with my folks and am glad to have gotten out of that Air BNB. I really don't like being out of my own space for very long.
Yesterday I had a bit of a nightmare. So I drove from my rental property about an hour and got on a boat to a beautiful island off the South coast. Went for a 15k hike which was awesome. Finished up my hike and got the second last boat back to the mainland at about 6.30. As the boat was approaching the mainland I went to get my car keys. No sign. I had put them in a little pouch and clearly didn't zip it up properly. ****, ****, ****!!!! I had also lost the key to my apartment. I turned around and got the last boat to the island for the night to look for the keys - the boat driver said he would take me back to mainland though and gave me 30 mins to look for my keys. I covered some serious terrain so needless to say no sign. As it's my Dad's car I thought he would have a spare. No spare. Called a locksmith. Couldn't come til lunchtime and I was checking out of my Air BnB in the morning and had LOADS of stuff. I eventually got a taxi back to my apartment and then had to return the next morning with all of my stuff in a taxi to meet the locksmith to get into my car. In total it cost me 500 pounds sterling and a horrible amount of stress. The timing of my checkout made it even worse lugging all of my stuff including a blow up bed and 47 inch TV!
But, it's over, I'm home and what that means is I definitely won't drink for 2 weeks. I will hit the two month mark a week today which I'm excited about.
How are you guys today? Still all good Willow? No AV for me for a few days. My mother commented on how well I looked this time. No dark eyes!

Wow, that sounds really stressful Briansy! Sooooo good that you didn’t drink over it!
I’m on 3 weeks, day 22 today, and going well.
The AV still pops in for a chat but I’m trying not to engage with it in the hope that if I ignore it, it will go away lol.

Quiet in here these days! I'm home and doing fine although 2 weeks with my folks is really a bit much. I'm really looking forward to it ending, but I am doing my duty and I'm sure my folks are glad that I'm home. Plus, it isn't all bad!! As I have gotten older, my being set in my ways has massively ramped up. I find myself prepared to compromise less and less and if that means not really seeing many people socially then that's just fine by me.
2 months sober on Tuesday. Although I can feel a big difference physically, mentally I'm still very up and down and have lots of issues. I suppose sobriety is not a magic bullet but still...

I wish I could see my parents too but sadly they’re in Heaven now, it’s nearly 2 years since they left 
But I really do understand how it can be very frustrating to stay at home again Briansy, when you’re used to your own routine and own life. Is the weather good? Maybe you can go out for long walks in the countryside to get some space? And take some photos for us? I love seeing the Irish and British countryside, sigh
Also, when I would stay with my folks when they were still alive, I would excuse myself to my room for a lay down whenever I needed some space. I would read a book, or get on my phone etc. I think taking breaks from the “togetherness “ helps with the gratitude

I remember Brian doing that last time he was at home with parents.
Taking little breaks.....
I didn't mean that to come out that you were ungrateful Brian....I was just trying to add the positive....no one is allowed out of their county to visit family here right now....at least you are and you can see yours.
And love to you dear Willow, my soul sister....we feel each other. God bless our parents. I miss mine very much as well.
However, I don't miss my sisters one bit and I haven't seen them for four years now (didn't see them for months before I came here in 2016).
So I am actually a horrible person.

No, you're not a horrible person, Suze. You are finally seeing that you only need positive people in your life.
It's ten days until moving and I'm packing and organizing. Quite exited about going back to college for a year, and looking forward to getting to know a new place. I'm getting married in three months and my partner and I have started the keto diet, and since ketosis and alcohol don't mix, I'm giving up drinking. Imagine that.
How is everyone? SBTS, hope you are ok.
