Day 142. At work and not wanting to be here. I’ve noticed that since I’ve gotten sober I’m not talking to my usual friends. They weren’t even friends I would drink with. A few of my best friends (I’m talking over 30 years of friendship) have pretty much ghosted me the last few months and I don’t know why. It seems that if I’m not the one initiating contact then there’s no contact. It’s always been that way though. So this is nothing new. I’m just wondering why these friends never reach out to me. Makes me sad. Since I’ve gone back to work full time I have less and less time to devote to friendship. But I’m starting to get worried that I’m going to end up with no friends if I don’t make more of an effort. Anyway. Just a little musing for the day. I miss my friends.

@GVLNative @Shannon1980 @Jen2020 hello can you believe it day 11 
it’s actually gone quick and not being too painful as yet. But bloody hell not stopped, always on the move - ha ha. My legs are killing me from body pump! My Tennis Elbow is back from sanding my kitchen ceiling so physically falling apart 
but mentally feel clear, my anxiety is shifting which is worth any physical aches I am feeling now.
But related to your dream Shannon, all I think about is alcohol, not in the sense of wanting to drink, but that its always on my mind in some shape or form. Looking forward to getting to the point where its not always there.
Actually feel motivated enough now to look for another job, as left my old one as confidence was shot and so anxious. So next week its work on the CV and start applying…
Well have a good weekend all and be the first Monday I will look forward to! Yes lets be strong 
all the way from

I’m going to relax today. I’ve been to my therapist already. That was productive, I think. I feel like spending the remainder of the day in solitude. I’ll think about going to a meeting later.

End of January. 31 days sober. That’s good. Husband also did dry January but he can’t wait to start drinking again . I am determined not to but it’s really hard. Just needed to say that on here as I know so many of you understand this. … time for a AF beer…

Water and coffee. Yup.
I’ve dropped 25 pounds in those 9O days too. It was like that when I quit drinking. But last year I started on the energy drinks again. And put on weight again.

I guess today is the first official day as Great Britain (minus the EU). Brexit finally went through after 3 years of deliberation. I guess it does not really have an effect on day-today affairs.

Why is everyone changing their avatars? Is there some sort of avatar purge going on? This is starting to give me a panic attack.

Unfortunately I don’t belong to a gym. I just work out at home or walk/run with my dog. But I need to come up with something or I’m going to turn into a hermit.

655, today a chapter of my life has come to an end. I know what happened had to happen or the cycle of chaos would continue. But I am so sad and so hurt that it’s come to this. I know hurt people, hurt people. But I can’t help someone that doesn’t want to help themselves… especially while they continue to cross my boundaries. I couldn’t trust myself anymore and I had to let go.
From here on out I really need to do some serious self care, be more kind to myself, and be more upfront and honest with those close to me.
Thank you God for my sobriety and my life. I am grateful to be here and I am grateful to have freedom and peace in this world. I hope everyone can have that today as well.

That’s why I like the gym; you can go and see people but you don’t have to talk too much, lol… My son just joined Planet Fitness; they had a pretty good deal going on.
You’e doing great btw!!
