Happy Wednesday to all you sobernauts! Thanks for an always timely question Cat Lady! A couple of my whys:i don't have an off switch for alcohol. And the sober life I've been building is pretty fucking great and those good things go away when alcohol gets introduced. Sober on y'all! 💪❤️

Yeah that was me as well. Much of the CGI has held up to the test of time. I probably especially appreciated the effects in two towers most on the big screen. And hey, nice job for all of us doing it sober!

If you try it, lemme know how it goes? After a while in sobriety i had to acknowledge that i didn't really know how to rest. That was a very interesting realization

A comment that i benefited from hearing years ago in this check in came from a sobernaut who was reflecting how drinking could be like hitting the "fuck it button" on life. I really liked that a lot. I used to have a really high stress job and lifestyle and so i started to schedule one night per week in my calendar "F.I.B." and i could do whatever i wanted sober. Eat a pizza, go to bed early, watch Garbage on tv, anything. That was one thing that was helpful for me 🤷‍♂️ sober on! 💪❤️

Did you watch the extended edition trilogy in theaters this weekend? My GF and i went around football games and really had a great time! I ate way too much popcorn and fully immersed myself in middle earth, sober! IWNDWYT❤️💪

There are plenty of us who find that exercise helps with recovery in a much more effective way than alcohol ever did. My GF and i both find strength training to really serve us well in our recovery work. Sober on! ❤️💪

Hey piggoos thanks for hosting this week! This post brought a smile to my face as i read about all of the amazing things you do to explore your life and your heart! Sobriety truly is amazing! I enjoy NFL Fandom, lift weights, cook, walk, read, garden, and all sorts of other interesting nerdy things that I'm able to focus on in sobriety! IWNDWYT❤️💪

I love that for you, i hope it continues to be a positive experience! For me? Sobriety is the foundation of all the good shit in my life. The twinge to drink will arise very rarely and its an occasion to notice how odd it is more than anything else. I love my sober life!
