Never had that. Who makes it? Sounds great. White chocolate and macadamia nut cookies are very good too.

Yes, I remember the urban legend of pop rocks and coke that killed a kid. Lmao. Watched a you tube video that debunked the myth. But probably because the pop rocks today are made safer. :sweat_smile:

I hope not!

But frankly, with how the rest of the country is doing, I was surprised they allowed phase 3 to start yesterday.
Weā€™re one of the few states that is still seeing a downward trend, but with cases skyrocketing elsewhere in the US, as well as the absolute recklessness seen over 4th of July weekend with all these big parties/gatherings/people being stupidā€¦wouldnā€™t be surprised if weā€™re headed the wrong way sooner rather than later.

Sorry youā€™re hurting. Let the memories come, remember them, feel the feelings and then move on to the next thought. I think your brain is just still processing whatā€™s transpired. Let yourself feel and think and know that you wonā€™t feel like this forever. Youā€™ve been through a major life change though and itā€™s going to take time for your mind and heart to process. Give yourself some grace there. :hugs:

Day 299. Overslept this morning which is really disappointing because I wanted to get a walk in with my dog before work. Itā€™s too hot for him after work. :confused: Feeling very unmotivated and blah this morning. Hamster wheel living is what Iā€™m doing. Running and running but going nowhere. Except today Iā€™m just laying at the bottom of the hamster wheel because I just donā€™t care. My motivation to do life left me some time last week and I just havenā€™t gotten it back yet. Iā€™m living in fear again and it drains me. I must shift back to trusting my higher power for all things and give up trying to control things I have no control over. So much easier to say than do. Above all though Iā€™m sober. The desire to drink hasnā€™t left me yet so I keep fighting it every day. Choosing sobriety over a momentary bliss of not caring. I need to care. I need to be better than I am. One day at a time.

Chin up, pal! Do whichever one puts more gas in your soul tanks. And maybe enjoy some of that chocolate @Apes2020 is waving around at us all :laughing:
Either way - wishing you a restful and happy day,

Aw Cristelā€¦! Maybe you just need a nap, for real :laughing:
Seriously though - be as kind and generous to yourself as you are to all of us on here. And you said it yourself, above all - you are sober.
Wishing you a day of rest and many moments of peace in the midst of all the thoughts and emotions our minds generateā€¦
Methinks youā€™ll land on your feet :wink:
