Feeling the love today its my sister’s birthday today took her a couple gifts and she sent me back with care package and I opened it when i got home. I now have a pic of dad, grandma sis and me. These are the moments that make all the bad days and hard work worth it. :v:&:heart:

My sister’s biopsy came back that she has cancer. I thought I would handle this better. I don’t feel ok right now. It’s early, I know she’ll kick it in the ass. But what a helpless feeling.

Day 266. I’ve fallen into this new work from home routine now. So, the house is staying clean AF, passion for cooking is reignited, so I’m making dinner every night, and still pushing my workouts.

Keep on keeping on!
Have a strong day!!!

Feeling off today. Was told something yesterday that pissed me off and I’m trying not to let that get to me. Really pissed my hubby off tho. Just sitting here with my coffee and hoping to get some sage in the mail today from a friend back home in Winnipeg. I need to smudge and cleanse myself and my home so badly. Rid everything of negativity. I did some cleaning already and have abit more to do so that will take up some time. Just trying to relax and not let what was said effect me too much. Have a great day everyone! :heart:

Day 231 here. I haven’t posted here in a while but it’s so nice to see all of you keeping this community so strong. I got so close to relapse last week I’m amazed I made it. I was even at the point of texting old dealers and the mental obsession hijacked my brain. Im so grateful I finally reached out and realised I need to puty recovery before everything or else I will lose it all.

Picked up an H&I commitment over zoom tomorrow night and making sure yo reach out more than ever. Love you all and so glad I have another day sober. Picture is from my run last night and just wanted to share
