Hi peeps 
Another sober day in the books. Been busy more now because I was getting stuck on the sofa too much. Now a bit sore body, but happy

Hi everyone! Finishing up day 11. I was so close to drinking tonight. Just regular stress, and then I realized I was thirsty and hungry. Ate and it pretty much passed. Good job everyone! Hope you’re all feeling well. Thanks for being here.

Hi all,
Day 2 for me and I am very glad I took yesterday off from work. I didn't feel great and I had a great opportunity to talk a lot to my wife. She is such an amazing person but I shared how her continued struggles were really wearing me down and putting me in a place where I am not doing the things I need to do to be a better person and a better husband. After being together for 24 years we really have been through it all. It was a very helpful conversation. She said she had been aware of the stress she was causing me due to her battles, and said she would make an effort to go to some counseling with me so we could work on keeping me as healthy as possible so I can keep her as healthy as possible. She is my world and when she is in pain it hurts me to no end. However, if I am not good to myself I can certainly not be there for her in the best way I can be. I said as a team we can do anything. It really felt like a win-win and left me happy at the end of the day. No thoughts of drinking, and let me tell you, a hangover is not something I miss and have not had in over 2 years. They are awful.

Good morning, class. Day six, and I am feeling so emotional and raw. I'm constantly on the verge of crying, and I have absolutely no reason to feel sad. I guess it comes with the territory. Anyways, today I have to make a batch of gluten free oatmeal cookies, red velvet cookies, six carrot cakes, a vegan chocolate cake, as well as brownies with homemade caramel sauce, peanuts and marshmallows. I have to do laundry for the B&B, clean three rooms and two bathrooms too. And oh, I have to bake two loaves of sourdough bread and start the dough for sourdough rolls for tomorrow.
I am grateful to have so much work to do, drinking is SO off the table. My partner is making dinner today, that usually falls on me. Maybe I have time to edit the video I made for TikTok later. It is an instructional video on how NOT to make videos.
That's the way it is when you start techy things at the ripe old age of 51.
Have a great day, you wonderful people. I'm rooting for you. <3
