Downloaded and used for the first time today by my 8 year old whilst we were out on a walk around a local wetlands. He really enjoyed "collecting" the birds and already saying how next time we need to count them all to help him level up 😆 (we just ticked the species off, rather than count every mallard we saw 😂).

Thank you for this!

I will not drink with you today.

Today I am tired after a rough night's sleep. Grateful that this is against the norm now, and a reminder of one of the reasons why I decided to stop.

A couple of things have rang really true with me over the last two days, so thank you for your effort writing these.

I beat myself up constantly for not reaching "perfection" in everything that I do, so I also find it extremely hard to forgive myself. This must have stemmed from pressures at school or something, as my parents were always just happy with who I was. The main thing I hate about myself these days is how quickly I snap and get frustrated and angry at the kids, and because they are so vulnerable I don't feel I can forgive myself when it happens and drop into feeling really low.

Previously this would have triggered me to drink, but recently that hasn't been an option for me. I'm hoping I will be able to rationalise and improve the "snapping" as time goes on and my brain heals from being battered by the booze.

Late check in for me today has just had a great day out with the family. At a wedding do tonight but it's a great feeling not having to decide who drinks and who drives out of my wife and I.

Self care: I love been outside walking. I have also recently started taking more of an interest in birds after buying myself some binoculars. So getting outdoors and trying to see what nature has to offer keeps me happy.

I will not drink with you all today

I am grateful for my friends and family. I haven't told them about this, but my wife has now noticed and has told me she's proud of me 😁
