My job even though at the moment it’s very difficult because there is a lack of production which leads to people standing around. I am very much the opposite. I have to find something to do.
A working vehicle as two people in my life are having issues with theirs.
Having the ability to slow down and self reflect on how I’m managing my life. Things have been troubling lately. I take twenty minutes every morning before work to meditate then I plan an overview to the day. I want to improve any and all things that are out of joint.
An extra good thing: poke bowls-I just love them!
Finally got an update from the maintenance team. Grateful I did go in and ask to speak to the manager. I hate being that person but after being ignored for 3.5 weeks I finally became that person LOL
Gave away a few more of my Halloween decorations. A friend at the gym is into this lovely holiday as much as I am and has space to utilize said decorations.
I am in better health today than I was in prior years. Not taking this for granted ![]()
- Walking. Walking is just the best.
- Walking with a Dog. Walking with a Dog is just the best.

Hmm—currently in withdrawal from alcohol, day 2.
But here goes:
—this community, I quit socials and a lot of relationships in order to finally really commit to my sobriety. This community has been a healthy supportive social interaction when I am now severely lacking.
—my mom & my best friend Amber. They’re always there for me no matter what and have always supported me regardless but are thrilled that I’m finally committed to quitting for the long haul.
—a fresh start, I’m moving this month and looking forward to a fresh start where I can present and embrace a new self, something other than the drunk girl on socials or out every weekend.
Good for you! So glad you are here with us.
Welcome to the community and congrats on day 2! This really is a magical space where you will find great advice, tools and support. Keep working on your sobriety ![]()
Got the furnace filters changed and took care of a few other issues that came up at my rental - grateful for my brother being with me to keep me clam and collected
