Hiya Claire :raising_hand_woman: Welcome :+1:

Hi :hugs:
I woke up early today. An hour before the alarm and I was up late last night. My next room neighbour had been sleeping all day yesterday and thought it would be a great evening playing Swedish gangsta’ rap. Dont laughe. They are dead serios about them B’s and H’s and all the DOC’s. Only problem is I really dont like it. For 4 hours there was not alot to do but to play my own music and watch youtube but around 11 I wanted to sleep and well I couldnt. For some reason they incorporate police radio into their beats and as if I wasnt allready tense. I started to get annoyed at this girl putting me through that and sadened by my judgmental thoughts. I tried to reason with myself. She probably dont know I can even hear this? or she wouldnt atleast do this to me had she only known how I felt and couldnt sleep cause of it. Now, how do I convey such a message polity all angered and judgmental? Working on my sixth step I realized that this is one of my flaws. Not the rage that would surley come after, but not sticking up for myself prior. So I decided to let her know. Now it was closer to 1 so our lives depended on great courage. And guess what. She said she was sorry, she had forgotten what time it was and I believed her. I asked if she wanted to borrow my headphones and she did. Even though I had thought I was depended on an 8hour sleep I never felt better waking up then I did today. I was looking out for me. This may sound lame but hey, Im not used to this. This felt so good. Ah thank you neighbour for letting me know I can stick up for myself :pray:t2: Today will be a great day :heart:

Friday! Day when temptation for ‘only few’ is higher than any other day. It was always end of working week ‘celebration’ and another excuse to have few. The only problem it isn’t ‘only a few’ and becomes way too many…there will me struggle with alcohol cravings the whole day. It Isn’t bad now but it will worsen. Hopefully home DIY will help keep my mind away.

And congrats to a bunch more you all rock. Day 74 and tgif lol, it was a good day yesterday, nothing went wrong and was nice and calm enjoyed the day with my girls I think my sleep meditation are helping bc I have been doing really good, one thing I notice is for all those bad days, when I snap out of them I come back feeling much more clear and open minded. Tomorrow I’m planning a nice long bike ride and can’t wait, hope you all have a good Friday.

Congratulations on 100 days!!! So awesome!!!
:100:

I was a mentor in the local school system for many years. There were so many kids that responded and went on to have productive lives. They were so grateful for the interaction later on. The key is not leaving them along the way (in one day out the next). It is a commitment that you have to be all-in. On the other hand, there were a handful of kids that went the other way and ended up in bad places or dead. The key is if you can help just 1 at-risk kid you’ve done well. To reach more is a blessing. Understand that it has nothing to do with you. At least you are trying.
