Day 221: Day 220 Slipped By!

Didn't get a chance to write yesterday but all is well and boozeless. Not much more to share right now. Much love always.

Day 219: Time is Passing and I'm Not Drinking and It Is Awesome

Thankful for Day 219. Better today. Goofy, thoughtful, loving, and mostly calm day. Support and love to all those in early days and in later days.

Day 217: Bright Fall Day

Grooving right along on Day 217. Not much to share besides it was a beautiful, spiritual day spent with my family.  I am overwhelmed with love for them. Alcohol was a non-issue today and I am so, so thankful for that. With much love always.

Day 213: Let This Please Continue

A really nice day today. Baby story time with my son at the library, lots of playing, productivity, patience, bonding, pizza. I even made a little music today. That hasn't happened in a while. I can't recall any booze urge today. So thankful for that. Whatever is going on in my head and heart, let it please continue. With love to you, wherever you are.

Day 212: The Past and Beyond

Crazy how a memory can just destroy you a little bit, in such an unexpected instant.  Things hit me all the time, reminding me of my dad.  It is still so hard.  I suspect it always will be.

A strong feeling of contentment with not drinking.  It was so out of hand before.  I really have to keep going and look back only with the wisdom that being sober is so much better for my life.  I can only be grateful for right now, and know that I can't take not drinking for granted.

Not much else to share.  Been a little out of sorts today but also weirdly productive.   Much love always.

Day 99: Eve of Triple Digits

Just a brief note to say I am thankful to be here and I have to keep going.  Much love.

Day 96: RIP Ralph Stanley

Still subdued from yesterday but no urges to write home about. Sad to hear of Ralph Stanley's passing. Such an incredibly gifted soul. My husband and I saw him a couple of years ago at an intimate show. It was fantastic.

Tonight I made a cranberry/lemon/lime juice on ice...I consume so much Vitamin C lately that scurvy stands no chance against sober me!

Sleep now and silent love to all in need.

Day 93: Keep Going

Some tough stuff today. Did not think of coping with booze. I just want to keep going. Sending much support to all who are in the midst of coming to terms with their personal substance struggles. Let us all keep going. Much love to you.

Day 77: Super Quick

About to go to sleep, but I just wanted to briefly mention that I love not drinking and the fact that not drinking is my new normal. I feel such relief. There is more to life than booze.

Rolling Along

Solid day with a whiff here and there of drinking in the future but truly no desire for drinking today. Feels so wonderful not drinking. I love it. 60 days will happen this coming week. I am doing this.

Tonight I Believe

Saturday night and no dreams of drinking. Sun and storm mix through the sky. The wind is a rhythm. I am blessed and thankful to be alive and I miss my dad more than anything.

Waves of May

Today it is May. A brand new month begun sober. I did not drink the entire month of April. Feels damn good. May is going to be hard. Hopefully not for drinking, but absolutely for grieving. All one can do is their best.
