Danni hang in there…you might be receiving a lot of signs from the universe that say give in, but look for the signs that say don’t give up…they are there. Try to have an easy night & get to bed early. Tomorrow is a new day. I’ll be rooting for you

Hmmm actually a recommendation I have never heard before (I’m sure as a pain sufferer you know how rare that is 
) thank you and I’ll look into it.

Sounds like a lot going on, it’s understandable that would be putting you in a spin. Sending you positive vibes and strength to get through court and hopefully you are in a position to do what you need to do to look after your health 
Good for you for facing up to your past and taking the steps you need to make a better future. That’s something to be proud of!

No a sponsor is someone who sits down with you and has you start reading the book from the very beginning, he ask you questions about what your reading, and he gives you assignments to do, and he guide’s you through the 12 steps and he holds you accountable, he gives you advice, and he listens to what you have to say. You guys talk either on the phone or in person everyday. You tell him everything that is going on in your life and in your head. And you form a relationship like you’ve never had with anyone else. With my sponsor it has been a spiritual experience up to this day and I’ve been working with him for over a year. having a sponsor and doing the steps is what kept me sober this long. Seriously you should ask someone to sponsor you. If your serious about staying clean and sober asking someone to sponsor you is where you should start.

Is a CBD balm allowed?
That’s really nice advice: look for the signs that say hang on.

hey how are you?
We get ups and downs on this journey Danni. Today’s a shit testing day. Survive it and be proud because you would have learnt something.
You will learn that yes, life can throw shit my way, but I can beat it!
Sending you strength.

I don’t know. I haven’t gotten into any of the CBD thing yet. Kind of afraid too after 30 years of smokin pot. I know it’s different. But since I haven’t touched it in the last 15 years I’m kinda staying ignorant on the whole thing.

Got another day one down. It feels weird, I’ve done it so many times but it’s just getting old. But keeping busy so that’s nice to do again.

- I’m off till Monday yay! Will think of some good stuff to do tomorrow now I’m just knackered. Need some time to unwind before going to bed. Another crazy day with my crazy folks. Today I’ve been called a SOB and to go fuck myself, but that was by a lady who is awaiting an operation for cancer. Also another lady accused me of being a gestapo agent. Well she’s manic as hell. A third one called me cruel for not straightening her blanket for her (which she can do excellent herself) after being called over on her alarm call. And I was in conflict with at least 4 other residents tonight. I’m not complaining, I’m fine and it’s my job. And maybe I was a little bit touchy myself at the end of a long hard working week. Happy to be off for a bit now. Sober and clean. Love from Amsterdam.
@anon27760155 Stay with us Danni. We need you here. Using doesn’t help. Hugs.
@mleclaire Nice one Emilie. Done.

What is this fascinating job of yours?
I’m a mental health nurse working in assisted living for (mainly) older folks with long standing psychiatric illnesses.
