I need to keep doing the next right thing and just press on. It’s my birthday tomorrow and I’m not looking forward to coming home after work to an empty house, I know I shan’t hear from my family and I don’t really have any friends left so that’s going to be tough.
Head down and keep going.

Dear James, I hope in time you won't let your past dominate your thoughts. Is this something you can talk about in your AA meeting?
Please don't rule out your SR family as your friends. In fact, this was probably written yesterday so I'm sending you a most sincere -
Hope you have a wonderful day!

Congratulations Aussieblue and Cowboy!
Also, congratulations to all who made it one more day...
Yesterday turned out to be very productive day
I organized and cleaned my pantry, but it took forever since I can't use my right arm to lift, but it looks great. I overbought some stuff like regular pasta (we don't even eat it), peanut butter, jelly, and some other items during the panic last year so I'm donating it to a food pantry.
I'm feeling so much better today, with the exception of the fatigue. Not sure if it's from the withdrawal or being sick, but either way, it forces me to chill, which is something I normally have a difficult time doing.
Sending sober vibes to all who are seeking them!
Thankful for my sober days and praying for 24 more hours...
🙏🏻
And since my mind can't stop, I'm counting hours sober. Today I'll reach 100!!!

Thanks for the kind birthday wishes and happy birthday Yukon 😊
Day 9 and my birthday draw to a close. Worked this morning, and my father who i haven’t seen for over a year contacted me to see if I’d like to go for a meal with him and my brother (who I also haven’t seen).
They both are big drinkers and not very sympathetic to my sobriety (albeit relatively new right now) so they decided that the best place to meet was the pub 😬
I felt like I had to go because they’ve reached out but it wasn’t very comfortable. I didn’t drink, tbh didn’t want to but it didn’t feel like a healthy place for me to be right now…
so I’m home now, in my pjs and getting ready to try and find something on Netflix to watch in bed, and hopefully sleep will find me tonight… been averaging 3 or 4 hours a night this past week and I can feel it catching up with me but I’m so restless 😔
Sorry for the long post, just needed to get a few words out…
2110 UK time and I’m grateful to be sober at the end of the day.
Sending peace and love
