Day 9
Looking forward to hitting double digits tomorrow. Am starting to think about next week when my kids start school again, but I will be home. Am a bit scared I will fall for the “I could drink in the morning, then sober up before everyone gets home” bullshit, that I sometimes tell myself.

I love Alcoholics Anonymous. Today I have a group of friends that I can hang out with and that are serious about their sobriety, that keep me accountable, and I always have people to talk to and I need that cause when I was getting loaded I was isolated and was alone. I need people sober people to stay sober myself cause I can’t do this alone and AA has given me so much more too. I’m just grateful today to not be where I was just over a year ago. Especially having a sponsor who’s taking me through the steps, which I’m about to be on the 12th step. There a lot of work to do if we’re going to reconstruct our lives and I’m just happy that I made the decision to do so. Good night everyone God bless you.

- Coffee. Shortish night but feeling pretty good. My inability and unwillingness to travel abroad during this vacation is turning out to be a blessing in disguise. I’m finally seriously reclaiming my apartment from the chaos that had taken over.
Off course every job I do makes for new ones. Thoroughly scrubbing my yellow pine floor showed it really needs a paint/wax/lacquer or stain job. Started planning for that too. As I am for a total paint job of the walls and ceilings. I won’t do it all this holiday. Need to balance it with some recreation too, cycling, museums, friends.
Not sure if it’s the SSRI’s I’m taking for 3 weeks now have anything to do with it. Could be placebo effect. Fact is I haven’t felt this positive for quite a while. I am 100% sure being sober and clean plays a great part. Without that I’d be nowhere, waking up hungover, depressed, wasting my day just hanging around doing nothing. And I wouldn’t be clean and sober without TS and all of you here. Forever in all your debt. Thanks so much. Have a good day all. Love from my place.

Check in Sober
Been working at the Homeless Project this week all different shifts including nights which has put me out of sorts with routine and sleep, so not made the time I should to check-in each day. But having a great week absolutely love the work I am doing. I should get my case-load in the next few weeks which nervous but looking forward to that challenge. Back on at 1pm today for 8 hrs, so will catch up on what I have missed later.
Wishing you all a strong sober day…

I’m one week clean today. I’m so bloody emotional I could cry all day long ! But I know this will pass and I need to keep praying to God for guidance I’m hoping to go to a face to face meeting tonight. A lady in the fellowship asked me if I’d like to go and said she would pick me up … I was excited yesterday when she asked me but today im already thinking of a excuse not to go … it’s so crazy how my head works… this is typical of me making arrangements then not following through… this is why I struggle with having friends … is it my illness keeping me sick is it my bi polar? I’m gonna push myself to go I have to go to any lengths for my recovery … I pray this horrible emotion will pass quickly and I get back to a Happy place… happy Thursday beautiful people thankyou all for the love and support x
