Omg @Clarity I’m so sorry for your loss! Your post hit me so hard right in the heart especially the part about her graduating from school. I hate our disease and what happens when we are in it. A million prayers and good vibes to you I’m really sorry you have to go through this. Stay strong… Yes that stuff is so dangerous it’s really very scary. Thank you for sharing.

This is her on her first day of school! She just wanted to help people. She was so beautiful inside and out.

I made it through my day yesterday
Still moving forward and it was the best birthday ever
Yesterday was a really big thing for me to be sober
But that was yesterday
It matters but it in the past now
Whats important is now
Be gentle with yourself
And stay sober for you and everything that comes with it
Recovery won’t let you down
Today is day 5

@Clarity That is such a lot to deal with, be kind to yourself, and don’t think “what if”, you can only do what you can.

Having people around with not well behaved dogs is dreadful! Some people are so relaxed with their: ‘Sorry,he/she is usually so chilled…’ And you think: ‘Sure…’ and almost having a hart attack.
Anyway, enough complains 
He is so fantastically curly, and the ears! Totally adorable! Is it a cross between poodle and another breed?

Day 27. Missed a day checking in yesterday because I ended up in a spot with no internet or cell service while traveling for work. Today I am back at my office in BR, trying to learn the new phone system that was installed while I was gone this week. I’m looking forward to the weekend, a time to catch my breath, do some laundry, and have some quiet down time. I realized the other day how much of an introvert I actually am. I like doing things quietly and alone. Being around large groups of people for any significant period of time drains me mentally and emotionally. It also makes me very anxious. I’m realizing that part of my drinking was a bad way to cope with the anxiety and nervousness I feel when I’m supposed to be “social.” Right now I feel like I’d rather just be at home or interacting with friends and family one on one.

That’s great to hear! Freedom, man. Good for you.
I’m so sorry. None of this is your fault, but im sure that doesn’t make her loss any easier. Peace to your soul.

Happy Friday! Well apparently Oct 23rd is just not my day (divorced on this day 6 years ago but who is counting). Replacing a sump pump in a rain storm was not on my to do list for today. I am thankful to be blessed with the ability to do it myself. I’m sure it would have cost hundreds of $ if I called someone.

Aw fuck 
I am so sorry @Clarity. This is so horrific. My tears are welling up for you for your friend and all the people that will have to deal with her loss. I am so so sorry. I’ve also read these horrible fentanyl stories. Usually a friend of a friend thing. Once it was one of my daughters friends. 
But being your best friend is such a gut punch. OMG My thoughts and prayers are with you and your friend. And her family and the loved ones, which sounds like she had many, she’s left behind. She seemed like an amazing woman. I’m so sorry.
I just want to scream 
at Satan. Why God? Why?? This really sucks!
