Day 320. Vacation is drawing to an end. Figured the best way to end it was with a dentist appointment tomorrow. Partying hard, I know.

Nothing major to report. Just cruising through the day.

Have a strong day!!!

Checking in day 3. I have never been as pressured by others to drink as I was last night. It actually just made me feel physically sick, it’s so ridiculous how people act because someone won’t drink with them and i hope I never made anyone feel that way myself. Anyway I ended up packing up and just coming home and I’m so glad I did. Now I can enjoy my day with no hangover and on my own terms. I was a little sad it went down that way at first but I actually feel grateful it happened.

Day 3 check in here, thank you everyone who reached out to me. You guys are like family @anon79808082 @Mtrav0040 @Misokatsu @Matt @Mno @crystalclear @Girlinterrupted @liv_m @Fargesia_murielae and everyone else. :heart:

This restart has been a struggle. Which I think is a huge lesson in itself. You never know if a slip up will just be a “dusting off of your knees” or a 2 week+ (so far) mental and physical battle to get back up. It’s been such a waste of my life I’ve been dealing with this when I feel like I was past all this.

Glad you are okay @GVLNative, that is so scary! How do you feel today?

Day 27, whew! Had a rough night. Sleepless, negative thinking, and self hatred. I worked through by doing yoga and meditation, extra on meditation. I am a little balanced now. I will self monitor minute by minute!

I have to enforce rules as part of my job. It is punishment, essentially. Being the person to make sure that amends are done appropriately to suit the ordinances/laws of the county and state that I live in is hard. Keeping my ego and judgement out of my work is difficult.
I see the value in protecting natural resources but it’s also hard to separate out the personal from the professional at times when my character is attacked. Being in a small rural community makes things interesting too.

But I am just too focused on the self, this job has given me a platform in the community too.
