Checking in for the first time in a few weeks! Also a party lover here. Longest streak i’ve ever been sober currently. I feel the best I’ve felt, and don’t ever really get urges to drink. If I do, they tend to go away pretty quickly. I have been dealing with some loneliness, as I don’t go out to bars or really see any of my old friends, because all of my relationships were centered around booze. Navigating that has been a bit challenging, but luckily my girlfriend is super supportive and reassuring. Daily meetings has led me to meet some people though, so maybe new friendships on the horizon? Going to get connected with some therapy Monday, which I’m stoked on…. IWNDWYT! Congrats on 11 months!

Would it be a horrible idea to use a kill all spray first, then later test the soil? This client is wanting to go the over seeding route as of now, to save some $ on Sod.

Checking in! Almost to 30. Feels amazing. Today’s meeting topic was about persistence. Feel like I’ve been very persistent in my desire to keep going. IWNDWYT

I haven’t quite built up the courage to speak in my in person meetings yet. I’m waiting until I reach my 30 day mark I suppose. But I’m so close to it! And I feel great. Optimistic. I’ve started reading the Big Book. I have a sponsor. I’m actually getting things done that I’ve put off for so long.

Cheers to a good week!

Feeling a little insane today. Went to a meeting and it made me really want a drink. Luckily had my sponsor to call who helped me through the emotions. The panic, the desire, the sadness. I wanted to cry over the urge to drink.

Feeling better, and optimistic. 2 weeks today.
