It’s beautiful and we’re a big hub for Wells and BOA 
Still a bit of a ghost town with Covid though.

DO NOT DO IT!
Grab yourself a straw. Cut it in half. Put it in your mouth and suck on air. But whatever you do. Don’t smoke. Because when you do want to quit. And all smokers want to quit all the time. It’s freakin hard as hell to actually stop smoking.
Don’t do it! Recovered smoker for at least 30 years now.

Why would you want to try something that is expensive and will kill you? There is literally zero benefit from nicotine. I watched my dad die from lung cancer at the age of 53, it wasn’t cool.

Your sister in law was totally out of order. That was unacceptable!! I assume your sister-in-law knows you’re recovering. But that wouldn’t even matter!! You did the right thing politely leaving after cake and not blowing up. I don’t know if I could have been so graceful. But being sober you got a new gift of being able to be graceful. I really don’t know what’s wrong with people these days either. Good luck talking to your sister-in-law.

Sorry to hear this, though it sounds like the right thing for now. We never know what the future holds.
Often we cling so tightly to what was, we don’t allow for the opening of what is coming.
Sending love.

The pain never goes away. Managing it thru self love and nurturing helped me. I am my own mother. When I visit, I have no expectations from her. She is the person who has the hard luck story, with no responsibility. Having 9 children was an inconvenience for her. I think we’re all limited in some capacity. Working thru the pain is hard, but it means I grow and know what mothering looks like and sounds like.

Happy Monday, everyone! 
I’m still working from home and it looks like I will be heading back into the office starting in August for two days out of the week. It’s hard to concentrate when you’re at home and harder to not to whip up a cocktail. Luckily, I cleared out all the booze from my home yesterday. I’m going to shower during my lunch hour and take Haley out for a walk. With the pandemic and stay at home orders, I haven’t been showering regularly and it’s affected my depression and drinking. Today is Day 2. Still a long ways to go. I hope everyone is enjoying their day today!

Day 9 
Days are ticking by!! My mom rented a beach house in NC, we are leaving in 1 week!! I think that will be my next challenge in staying sober but I don’t see myself as wanting to drink. Sobriety feels way too good!! I keep having flashbacks to the person I saw in the mirror the other day after binge drinking for 1 week. I looked AWFUL!! Reminded me sooo much of how I looked during my drug addiction. It was kinda terrifying. A great reminder to stay sober.

Day 363. Been adjusting my calories and macros, trying to be more mindful of what I’m taking in, and how much. Staying under/at the calorie goal is easy, keeping the macros where they need to be is the rough part. Hopefully it gets easier over time, and the progress will start being a bit more visible.
Made a rad lunch for myself. Working from home doesn’t mean I have to have boring food, right?
Have a strong day!!!

That is the truth, Ruth!! Keeping the macros in check is a science. I think I’ve only done exact percentages once! I’m pretty close today. I try to plan at the beginning of the day so I can tweak.

Day 158~ Feeling joyful and positive today. This weekend really helped. 
Still battling some personal things in my head… not sure there is an easy fix. I’m just so confused… and need some clarity. I hate that I always need everything figured out in the moment. I need to let it organically work itself out. Im working on my expectations and not building things up to just be hurt in the end. It’s something that’s super hard for me. I like to give so much but don’t often get it back so I shut down and back off so I won’t get hurt. But I do get hurt… so I guess that’s not really working for me. Still a work in progress.
Started a new routine this morning with doing yoga before work instead of after; gave me tons of energy and a positive frame of mind to deal with the stress of work. Keep swimming peeps… strong and sober fighting the fight together.
