Day: 91.
I had a lovely day yesterday with my son and my Mom (who I dont see often since her and my Dad seperated last October).
We went out of town and got the little man’s hair cut. It looks so great!
Did some shopping, went to the movies and saw ‘The Lion King’ and went out for dinner.
We had a wonderful time.
Yesterday morning was drama- filled due to my twin sister.
One of her friends called me first thing in the morning because she was worried about my 8 year old niece.
I ran upstairs to my sisters place to encounter her completely drunk and hysterical.
I tried taking my niece to my house where she would be safe and secure and my twin wouldnt let me.
This only affirms my decision to remain sober.
I feel horrible for placing that responsibility on my family when I would make poor choices.
The best apology is changed behaviour.
They are proud of my progress so far and it feels fantastic to be able to be trusted again or relied upon when needed.
But enough about me…
Sending hugs and strength to those who need it today.

Day 28, almost 29.
In the last two months of my addiction, I was gaining weight and rapidly. I was showing symptoms of Cushing’s Disease and Thyroid but it was alcohol induced so within 10 days of quitting, the symptoms were rapidly disappearing. I didn’t want to weigh myself because every time I did it would say a number higher than the last… Haven’t weighed in since the day before sobriety… I was 155lbs. I am now 143lbs. It’s refreshing because my weight was impacting me in many ways and now it’s just dropping. I actually find it amazing how quickly you can start to notice a difference, especially when it came to my brain and the way I processed everything. There’s so many wonderful benefits to being sober regardless of life mishaps. It can get so hard when the world feels like it’s crashing but thanks to so many wise people here, I can proudly say this app has become the thing that holds me accountable and keeps me coming back when I want to give up. I’m finally thinking of going to AA again now that I feel ready to do so.

308 days. Not much excitement to report. It was a little stressful finding out there was a system outage and my bank card wouldn’t work anywhere, but these things typically get solved quickly. Plus, I already got groceries the other day, so it’s all good. Even if not, accept the things we cannot change, am I right?

250 days @Hotic 
Nice numbers! 
Congratulations!
Day 357 
Stupid, when you are in pain the world seems to turn all around that. Just that: pain.
It makes me depressed and irritated. Hardly slept and went out early because I couldn’t handle it anymore.
Aaaarchhh, I think now I have to buy some pearls and a pink dress

Day 155. Feeling ok. I’ve come to the realization that all I can do is be the best person I can, and develop my natural abilities as fully as possible. Other people, the world around me, I have zero control over. I think that is for the best, because I’d just make a mess of it. So I will keep after it, and see where it leads. All the best peeps!

Celebrating day 174.
Yesterday was a doogy😖
Thanks again for all of your support.
Craving much less now. And my clarity is coming back quickly.
It helps that I keep my home safe. No more unrestricted access to the web. I can’t handle it. Sorry.
When I was 2 years sober in 2006, I got internet access for the family. I lived without it during the time. Well, I thought I could handle it. But I was back to acting out within 30 days.
I deserve a safe home environment. I’m grateful that I have the resources to make it so.
Think about the good things in life. Acknowledge and be grateful for all the good gifts that you have as opposed to feeling sorry and pitiful for what you don’t have.
One of my outer circle behaviors. Spent a whole lot of time yesterday dwelling on sex. The fact is I’m going to be a lot happier dwelling on other things.
Getting close to the 6 month mark. This year has the potential of surpassing every year that I’ve lived and becoming the best year of my life. It’s very possible. One day at a time.
