Day 136. Keeping it real.
Um… Steve… are you trapped in your bathroom?
For the love of Lue, someone help Steve!!!
- Check.
Checking in - day 16 coming to a close. I’ve been drinking way to much caffeine lately due to trying to stay up late to finish homework. It’s messing with my sleep cycle but I have to get it done. I feel a lot of grumpiness heading my way…this to shall pass in 7.5 weeks. End of semester…carry on sober fighters.
Day 3 checking in!
I am dipping into some Buddhist principles in relation to addiction through Dharma Recovery. One of them is the idea that we all experience suffering, regardless of our material wealth.
I need to think on this some more myself, but I think it is helpful because by understanding that everyone experiences suffering, we can see it as part of the human condition. We don’t need to use gratitude as a stick to beat ourselves with!
The book is available online and free, if you’re interested. Leaving the link here in case anyone else is too.
Recovery Dharma thread to follow in the next few days!
Outstanding, Hunter! So happy for ya man. Congrats on that year
Congrats on a year sir…

Yesterday was good. I was SO nervous about telling my colleagues I am leaving but they were all lovely. I knew they would be but I was still feeling sick with nerves. Anyway that’s done now!
Instead of a belly dance class last night we did a gig at a happiness event for adults with learning disabilities and their carers. It was so much fun. There was so much smiling and laughing. Loads of them got up and had a go. Especially the guys with downs syndrome, they just embraced it so much. Really joyous to see and be part of, hope we can go back and dance with them again. We weren’t expecting payment but they gave us a little something which will cover the cost of the venue for our next charity event, amazing.
I keep waking up here, and starting over again at the end of my shift. It’s like I’m caught in an endless loop. But I think if I organize and clean everything perfectly, maybe I can return to my normal life.
Day 337, no coffee
Early out of bed. Going to eat breakgast at my son’s appartment. He has no coffee I think I’m not going to be awake today ever…
Visiting a small island today together and leaving Germany by 14.00. Hoping to be back in the Netherlands by 23.00. Hope we will because I have to work tomorrow!
Morning guys …checking in on day 291 …have a great day
