Day 1105 here and I am still in the paradise of Bali for another 2 weeks. Lucky me I think! The virus situation is of course affecting my holiday, especially as I am a nurse and I know that I am needed back home. But I try to dissconnect from social media and news as much as I can. Try to enjoy the beauty of nature, sunshine 
and healthy food! Drinking fresh coconut 
water every Day! Pray, meditate, do yoga 
and workout. That way I boost my whole being so I can take Care of patients when I get back
We Will beat the 
Stay strong you all! If anyone needs to chat, please know I am here 
Happy 24

Day 507. Therapy homework, therapy homework, meetings, doctor appointment, and did my best to dive back into my music, but didn’t get much done other than instrument practice. Accepting that and letting go to try again tomorrow is so hard. It feels like if I don’t buckle down and crank out a few more hours on task knocking off to-dos, I’m just “settling.”
Also in general, there’s so many things I want to try in my life right now and can’t seem to find the patience to wait until the proper time for everything. 
Edit: Also, since it’s now spring my profile picture needs updating.

I am watching “The suspicions of Mr. Whicher” on Amazon. Someone mentioned avoiding the vicker. What is a vicker? I can’t say I’ve heard that term before.
A vicar has something to do with the church, but I don’t know what exactly.

A Vicar is like a Pastor. Runs the church they are assigned to, delivers the sermons etc.

Ending day 7, boss giving us furlough and to apply for unemployment. He said I could work part time if I feel I had enough things to do. I wrote a list out and I can get it done in the next two days prob. Sooo, I can’t sleep, tried to go ahead and start the process but now I have to call them and I know that will be a loooong wait. Also been searching online for another job to apply at. Everyday it is something else. Smh

I was sober before for 5 years @zzz. Before that “clicked in” I relapsed a few times and every time around 90 days. It makes me so sad (and angry too). But it also makes me more determinated to succeed one day. Since then I know I can do it if I have a solid plan and stick to it. I also learned that around 90 days is my “I have to watch out” time 
How I recognize your feelings @crystalclear, I’m in the same place. I miss my possitive self, it’s there somewhere but it’s hard to reach that part of me.
Have you spoken to your friend already?
Nice numbers @Mtrav0040 and what a beautifull family you have there!!
Hope you are feeling better today @Jonachav123. Today your girlfriend is back home, enjoy!
Well done @Dolse71 
You are a strong man @KevinesKay 
You are working hard to get were you are right now. Respect!
Are they still flying between Bali and your home country @MissDuse? Glad to here you can still relaxe and enjoy your time there, it’s a magical place to be. I’ve been there a few years ago. Was there when the earthquakes hit Lombok and also Bali. It was very scary. We had serveral earthquakes and it messes with my holiday state of mind. Glad you still have yours! Enjoy!!
Good luck @Bootz!! Hope to see you back!
Day 556 
I’m feeling way better. I managed to get extra help in my shop so that stress has relieved.
Also got extra safety precautions at work. I’ve got big plastic screans before the counter to put a barier between me and the customer when they pay. The customer is only allowed to pay with card so we do not have to touch money.
There are only 3 customers allowed in my shop, all others have to wait outside. That makes it more possible to keep distance from other people. I also received posters to inform the customers. So happy with this help!
The poster makes me proud as well
It says: “Here are working our super heroes”That’s a compliment my team and I need these days!
Update and coworker number 3 has called in sick. Need my focus and keep positive, going to phone around again for help.

Day 2 +1hour. Can’t sleep. Husband snoring. Dog snoring. Husband coughing from what he says is GERD. Brain immediately goes worst case scenario covid and obsessive worry. This is my thousandth time resolving to be sober. On a positive, I scheduled substance abuse counseling for myself and am playing through all the ‘lovely’ things I’ll be telling my counselor in my head. This is a big step for me. Never have I ever admitted that I’m an alcoholic to anyone in the real world, except those closest to me (whom it is hard to hide it from)
