When can you start working? Is it by your new digs?
I hope you can get past the pain you feel for the lost/last relationship, Rob. Iā€™ve been around longer than most here and all I can tell you is life does get better! You will find another love even better than what you THOUGHT this one wasā€¦ clearly she isnā€™t the one so donā€™t waste another minute on the past. I wish someone had told me that long ago but itā€™s true; look ahead and allow life to unfold.
Ok, getting down from my pedestal now, lol

I can relate to what you said about not liking what you see in the mirror. I feel the same way. For months (years, probably) Iā€™ve talked down to myself and been mean to myself about it. Lately Iā€™ve been trying a different approach of being nicer. It hasnā€™t changed how I look, and I still donā€™t like it, but it makes me feel a little more hopeful about being able to make sustainable changes. Idk. I downloaded this app Calle I Am and it sends nice affirmations as many times a day as you want it to. Thereā€™s a health category. Maybe give it a try. I hope you (and I) can some day see the beauty inside ourselves!!! :heart:

it is amazing in at this point in my life. I attended one aa meeting in person at the beginning of this journey and then attended 3x weekly zoom meetings all summer. Now Iā€™m at 107 days, and I pause to be grateful I am sober. I wish I could do the same for cigarettes, oh well, another journey.

Awww @anon79808082 you always have the best things to say! I really appreciate you always being there for me it means a lot. As far as work my old boss wants me to come to work for him but the doctor says Iā€™m done plumbing because of my back being so bad. I start school on the 10th of October and have been thinking about getting a part time job instead so I can focus on school. My rent here is only $650/month and that includes utilities. And the fact that Iā€™m single and not going to be dating probably for a long time frees me up to focus on school without the distraction or extra financial expenses of being in a relationship. Thank you again Donna youā€™re the best!!! :sunglasses::metal:t2:

Day 90.
I circumvented the ā€œmilestone angstā€ Iā€™ve been reading about by celebrating Day 89 - fresh flowers and some cambozola cheese!

But this counting days thing. I love it, but now that I am sober - while I love seeing the days stack up, life is starting to get pretty good - I donā€™t want to see it all whoosh by! :joy: Every day each of us tucks in sober is another win - whether Day 1 or 10,000.

All that said, @Figgie and @Mychelle and @Apes2020 and @anon89207786 - nice numbers!

And all of you. Beautiful sober days to all :orange_heart:

Oh Jenna, what @anon79808082 and @mleclaire saidā€¦
Sure - we feel better about ourselves when we take care of ourselves, but you are doing that. For me, anything we do on the outside is just that. Itā€™s not going to do a whole lot on the inside. Whatā€™s the saying?
Happiness (and self-acceptance) is an inside job. :wink:
You couldnā€™t hide your beauty if you tried. :orange_heart:

Good morning lovely lady. Or evening in your case. Iā€™m with @anon79808082 on this. And I know your feelings are real. That lack of self esteem devil keeps coming up to bite us all in the ass. My beautiful daughter has had feeling like that as well and still does. Her sobriety has given her strength and some self esteem back and slowly she has made changes to herself that make her happy and through her 10 years has also learned to accept some things about her self. Youā€™re definitely on the right path with what you are doing. Keep up the great work. One day at a time.

Go strut your stuff going up for that chip @Mychelle youā€™ve earned it. Thatā€™s what I would have done. Enjoy your hike @Figgie. Thatā€™s what weā€™ll be doing today too.
