I agree with having to set boundaries Claudia. If my boss had disclosed she was exposed, I probably would have still met with her due to upcoming deadlines. We tend to put work and other people’s needs ahead of our own. We need to take a moment to think about how the situation impacts us rather than pleasing others.
Stay well and keep protecting yourself as much as possible. You are definitely a hero to your customers in their time of need.

Still struggling to adjust to my “new life” in my new town. It’s tougher in the mornings for some reason, I’m more emotional in the first half of the day. I do OK in the evenings. Everything just feels so strange and I keep thinking I am going to wake up and things will be back to normal. I miss my house. I miss seeing the birds at the birdfeeder outside, seeing the rabbits in the yard in the morning before the dogs chase them off. I miss my old grocery store. I miss a lot of things. I spoke to my ex on the phone last night, we’re still friends and supporting each other. Although we weren’t a fit in the end, I miss her most of all. That’s my best friend, and she was for almost 4 years. It’s hard not seeing her. Chief is missing his best friend too. It’s hard to see him like that. I’m spoiling him the best I can.
The new place has its perks, but I feel like a foreigner here. I’m sure the pandemic doesn’t help things. I have a few emails out to new therapists in the area, since my old one wasn’t doing much for me and doesn’t offer video/phone visits. He was a bit out of touch anyways, although a good man. I hope I hear back soon from these new ones.
Anyhow. Stay safe, everyone. I’ll have to figure out a way through this.

I can imagine the quarantine adds alot to it T; use that one day at a time often. My thought when I read that about your ex is maybe eventually, when life is "normal ", you and Chief can meet her in a park once in awhile or something like that.
She’s still your best friend, just different circumstances.
I really know what you’re feeling, life will show you happiness again.

Thanks Donna. We do plan to spend time together in the future, we both think its best to be apart for a while for the time being, but eventually will see eachother again.

Checking in half way through day 1. I haven’t been putting in any effort the past few months but today I’m ready to start back working on staying sober. I know I can do it if I will put in the work and I want to be the best healthiest version of myself.

I am officially on Day 3. I went to the recycling bin in the garage and smelled the empty beer cans and unfortunately it still smells good 
I long for when the smell and taste start to diminish.
