Thanks! I will try that. No harm in having a backup plan!
Day 20 later today. Dealing with some pretty intense meltdowns with little man, all before 7am 
Being 4 is hard. So is 43 if I can be a bit selfish lol. Happy Saturday folks! Thanks for always being here.

I’m checking in. Day 179.
Been craving a lot.
Hoping that I would crave less by now. But I will still try to incorporate more positive behaviors in my life. I know that there been a lot of changes in my routine lately. And I’m getting real close to another milestone.
This too shall pass. Feel better when I’m on TS right now. Easy does it.

Checking in on day 87. I landed a full time position yesterday and I cannot be happier right now. I’ve been out of work since January and I feel just like I felt when I landed my first ever 40 hour a week job. This is where the rubber meets the road though, I have maintained sobriety the past (almost) 3 months and not having any money had ALOT to do with it. I’m so terrified to get my first check and how my brain and temptations will be when that day comes. I need to buy a car with my first check, and then checks 2 and 3 will be used for an apartment. But I’ll obviously still have enough money left over to get my DOC if need be. I do have a backup plan as option B if my first option doesn’t work out. I’ve come too far to just give up 3 months of sobriety for may be 20 minutes of a “high”
Has anyone else gone through the same situation? Stayed sober early on because of not having a steady paycheck, and then landed a job later in recovery- how did it go for you?

@SoberWalker woke up stuffy and depressed. People shouldn’t wake up crying but oh well. I am resting. I take a bubble bath every day. Thanks for checking on me.

Day 49. Feeling grateful. I think this may actually be the longest I’ve gone without drinking in years, which is actually embarrassing when I think about it. I would have never believed I had a real drinking problem because I am functioning but when I think about how psychologically dependent I was/am on drinking to get through a regular day i can see it now. I used to spike my coffee cup with alcohol. Or my coffee mug with wine. Just as motivation to get to work that day lol… smh. Just wow.

Day 7… Kind of down and tired. Slips have been short, but scary and intense. I’m grappling with whether or not I even want this. Oh to be able to afford therapy. I have today.

Thank you @Frantasticooo.
I have been doing chores around the house when I get spurts of energy.
Other than that I have been in my jammies, relaxing on the couch with my Kobo.
My son is feeling better so that’s a bonus.
About to start dinner then headed to my bed. Hoping for a better sleep tonight.
Hope you have a good night!
