My emotion of choice that often (always) lead to my drink and drug of choice, has always been shame and guilt.
Sometimes deserving but mostly not, I would wallow in it and invite justification and escapism.
I drank smoked and snorted my way to a very temporary refuge.

After an emotional event, taking the time to identify my feelings, resisting the urge to judge my judgements, resisting the desire to justify or condemn my thoughts and reactions, has been amazing for my recovery.
Identify, acknowledge, and let it go.

137 days sober.
Still lots of dreams of consuming. But the paradox of both feeling glad it is a dream, and sad that it isn't, is finally shifting in the right direction.
My mood swings are less severe and better managed, thanks to my therapist and active mindfulness.

Another first in decades: sober and not hungover on new years day. Me, the Real One and the kids are grazing on salty carbs and buttery sweets lazing about and enjoying having no obligations.
This is nice. I like nice things. And it feels pretty nice.

I just finished The Sapling Cage by @margaret.bsky.social and I thoroughly enjoyed the characters, dialogue, story and the world she is building, and am excited to experience the tale she is weaving, so magically, indeed.

It's boxing day in Australia, and today I'm celebrating 120 days sober.
Christmas Eve and day was hard at times with friends and family enjoying responsibly, but I did ok.
Major plus: Enjoying Christmas morning with the kids, NOT hungover, was extremely reaffirming.

Community is important.
Fellowship is more than just support, it is a source of strength to draw upon.
115 days sober, mostly white knuckle, but now I found a rhythm and some people who know, and lived it, and it finally feels like it's all working for me.

106 days sober. Every day is a new record, but holds its own place in space and time.
Last night I dreamt of drinking and fucking and drugs and woke up equally relieved it was a dream, and sad that it wasn't real.
I am sober today, and that is the win I hold dear.

I dream of getting drunk.
I drank away a career, all of my belongings and most of my friends
I almost lost my family and my home, and will spend the rest of my life atoning for and correcting the damage I caused.
I drank away the fear of facing life sober.

First meeting found, Tuesday evening, a beginner friendly group close to home on a night that I won't be leaving The Real One too high and dry with the kids.
I don't feel like I am in danger of relapsing before then, today I am sober again, so I promise this isn't the case of procrastination.

Ok, so my math was a little off, yesterday was 90 days sober.
And today is another one.
So far I have stayed sober through the external guardrails of my family and circumstance, as well as my resolve, but I know that I need more.
Today I look for a meeting.

The Real One and the girls filling our home with the spirit especially early this year, and I'm grateful to be present, hilariously uninvolved and demanding. They love my faux-grinch attitude, I swear.

Great session with my therapist today. Connected a few more dots, found a few more links, had an aha moment. Left that hour exhausted but calm.
Also realized that this might be the longest I have been sober in 30 years. Oof.
