Got to be honest! It is the best policy after allā¦ just resetā¦ first time, after nearly a month cleanā¦ Iām okay with it. No regrets. Tomorrow is another day, and Iām lucky enough to be seeing it. Had some shit going on. But canāt blame anybody but myself. Thankfully it was only a couple of glasses. Back with a vengeance. Xxxxxx

A hard day. A good day. Sober is good, but the stuff I was trying to run from is still there - and now I have to, get to, work through it. Mostly grief stuff, loss stuff, and so I shouldnāt complain, as it means I have had so much, and still have it in my memory. Afraid that a drop more loss could melt me down, but one day at a timeā¦
I gardened on my back patio. Lotsa tears. They just need their turn tooā¦
I am super behind on work, not because of me, but because it is so busy, and i was going to work this weekend, but I donāt want to substitute something unhealthy (earning my worth by working 60hr weeks) for something unhealthy (gobs of wine), so I took care of my home this weekend instead, and got sleep, and I think I will just tuck in early and get up early and face tomorrow as a new day.
One day at a timeā¦
I wish you all peace, prosperity, and love!

283 Days. I got the nerve to call my niece and ask her to check into local services so I donāt have to take so much time out of my life. She wasnāt happy but will make some calls. I get that sheās comfortable having me do it but enough already.
I have the next 2 days off from work. I have to do classes ordered by the court for my DUI. I donāt get a lot of days off since Iām new so using them for this makes me really angry about my past choices. At least I can do them from home on zoom. My work will get backed up and Iāll only have 2 days to get caught up because of the upcoming holiday. Maybe I can sneak in some work while doing the zoom class.

Hey Lisa, Iām glad you are asking you niece to look into services to help herself out and to give you a break. Take care of your DUI stuff and get that behind you. I still need to do my taxes, so it motivates me knowing that you taking care of your stuff, to take care of mine.

Mmmmm mountainsā¦ 
Hard to climb, so why do we love them so much?! 
I think itās metaphoricalā¦ the invitation to climb, to accept that we learn while we climb, to be rewarded with whatever we can see from the topā¦
Best wishes today at your job - no good luck, you wonāt need it, friend! Just be you.
