Now you are only 827 days ahead of me; I'll get there and we'll hope you stay that many ahead.
And yes, beautiful day today in burbs; when I joined not long ago it was one of those awful hot humid days, a very hot summer here indeed which means I haven't spent as much time outside as I don't like it. I'll add you to my buddy list. I do think this site can help me get to 'AF' living.

This site is awesome. Glad you found us!

TECHIE'S 30 DAY CLEAN SOBER CHALLENGE

Hi all can I join? Just read your thought for day 14 Techie and it struck a cord! Ive been doing quite well this year with long periods AF say 5 weeks at a time. Then I binge and its getting worse. Thought I could moderate on hols ofter 5 weeks AF and I just got smashed and ruined it so I cant moderate and I have to stay AF now or I will loose everything. Sorry for ranting. So its day 7 for me today!

Hi Everyone!

Just checking in on this beautiful Sunday morning. Planning a quiet day - hope to get to the gym later this afternoon for a light workout. Day 48 for me and all is well. I was a little hesitant to meet up with some friends yesterday because they are heavy drinkers but I was feeling strong and confident so I followed through on my original plans and it worked out fine. They didn't even ask me why I wasn't drinking!

SpiningJ - Welcome!

Hope you all have a super Sunday...

Thought For Day 15

Feel the truth
In every moment, in every circumstance there is a new truth to be discovered. Life is rich with possibilities for deeper, more profound understanding.
You are, at the same time, all-encompassing essence and also a particular momentary expression of that essence. You live in this moment and you live beyond it.

Discovering truth is a matter of confirming in experience what you already know in your essence. The way you know it is truth is because it resonates so perfectly within the depth of who you are.

Truth is not something you must be told. Truth is truth because you recognize it so completely.

Living successfully in this moment and in this world is a matter of connecting your outer life to your inner truth. The most effective, fulfilling choice in any situation is to live the truth of who you are.

In pure truth there is no fear, no worry, no anxiety or anger. Feel the truth that is within you, and let it guide your every choice.

Thanks for today's thought, techie. This journey is giving me so much to think about.

TECHIE'S 30 DAY CLEAN SOBER CHALLENGE

Ditto that thanks for the thought for the day Techie! The subject of truth made me think about honesty. When I was still drinking alcoholically, I didn't realize how dishonest of a person I had really become. My dishonesty was in the little things. All kinds of lies that I told in an effort to protect my heavy drinking and try to keep it a secret. That dishonesty was part of what sucked the soul right out of me.

I'm grateful to be sober today. Day 829. When I first started the countdown to 1,000 I was somewhere in the 700's and Day 1,000 felt like it was so far away. Today I realized it's feeling very doable now. It made me remember how it felt when my goal was to get to 10 days. Those first 10 days felt like forever! But after getting to 10, the thought of staying sober for a month started to feel more doable.

Let's keep it going one day at a time!

Hey everyone! Feel so much better today . Slept well and I've just got to let go of the past and learn from my mistakes (easy to say!) It's a lovely sunny Bank Holiday here so I think I will take the kids to the park and keep busy. Hope everyone has a good AF day. Day 8 for me

Hi everyone
Techie thanks for these superb mantras!!
The truth one is immense for me.. It feels good not to be lying to my own being.
I'm ODAT at 6 days
Have a great day all - mine here in Asia is nearly done, its been so so hot here... been downing coconut water.. opening a coconut is a workout in itself so I won't bother going to the gym!!
Take Care
