I agree.
@anon60334405 I know you’re going through a rough patch, but I’ve seen you work your way through these rough patches before. If there’s anywhere to come and vent, I’d think it’s here. Let it out and that way you can garner support and advice.
I do understand the need to have time to reflect and process things alone though. Just don’t leave because you think you’re a burden or something. You’re not.
Your not bitching. Your words are important to a lot of people here… When you get home just take a beat and sit down and work out what little things you can do to get you back on track feeling better… Your having a bad day and tomorrow it’s a new day…sounds like you need to start making some concrete plans as to how you get your life going in the direction you want it to go? Grab a pen and paper tonight and write your self a goals list and what the actions and changes you need to take and make to get there… You know your self, nothing changes if nothing changes…and I know you want things to start changing for you… And you deserve to be happy mike 
@anon60334405 I’m with everyone else…bitch away!!
This might be a stupid question but is there a reason you don’t ditch the guy you lift with and just workout on your own?
I feel like over the last few weeks I’ve read about him giving you grief more than once. For me personally my workout time is some of my only “me” time during the day. It’s part of my morning routine and my whole day feels off if I don’t get that alone time.
Good morning all you rays of sunshine
First snowfall where I’m at
Volunteer today
One foot in front of the other is the way to do it.
Have a good day everyone
Me either right now 
So walk/run 5 km’s on/off. Hope to increase de running periods every day I try.
Day 34. It’s chilly and gray here this morning and I’m having a hard time getting motivated for the day. The phones were a nightmare yesterday. One customer decided to tell me three horror stories about his last trip to New Orleans, and then said, “I can’t believe you live in Louisiana. You’ve got to get out of there.” Sir, I am just answering the phone at the roofing company. I don’t need to hear your racist hot takes about where I live or anything else. I just need to transfer you to billing. I tried to be polite, but I just wanted to cry.
So, yeah. Not looking forward to another day of phones. In other news, my narcissist ex’s mom got in touch with me yesterday to make sure I made it through Zeta okay. It was a kind thing for her to do, but it also felt like she was fishing for information about my life and what I’m up to. I cut all contact with her son back in February because though we had broken up in March 2019, we were still very enmeshed and it was wrecking me. Having his mom contact me just dredged up a bunch of stuff I used to drink to ignore. I don’t know if I should block her. She’s a nice lady, but her son is one of the most destructive people I’ve ever had in my life.
@Tommo happy birthday! I hope you have a great sober birthday.
@Mno it sounds like you have a lovely day planned.
@PinkyP I’m glad you’re here. You know you can do hard things, because you have in the recent past and you’re doing them right now. Keep going!
Happy Friday, everyone. Checking in sober, Day 297! Woke up to our first snowfall this morning. I love how it makes everything clean and new again, just like waking up sober does!!
The problem with this town is there is no room for change. There are no gym, there are no jobs, it’s a small town with a population of 3,000. So I feel stuck, idk how to change anything. The only thing ppl do in this town is drink and party, there is no room for growth or sober fun here. Idk what to change, once I get my license I can maybe work towards some things but untill then I’m stuck. So every day just feels like it’s on repeat. I’m so lost
There is no gyms in this town. Where I work has a lil gym and work shut it down. So now I have to lift at his house in. The closest gym is 45 minutes away and I have no way or getting there . It sucks
Day 140 clean and sober today. Congratulations @anon79808082 on 5 months yay!!! Yesterday was pretty good in the fact that I talked with my psych and she’s changing my medication because of the amount of anxiety I’ve been having lately. I also spoke to my school and they’re allowing me to drop and start next semester so I don’t just flunk out. I’m so happy about that, I felt so bad and depressed about that but now it’s dealt with. I’m having to learn how to set boundaries with myself and it’s tough discerning what’s real and what’s just in my head. It will be ok though. Have a great day everyone, love you guys!!! 
Day 4 sober and hopeful after a good chat with another member of this app.
@Eke thank you for taking the trouble to continue this thread.
@liv_m so happy and glad to know you’re active again here . You are a loving presence
Day #63 here and ready for the last weekend before the November 3rd General Election here in the US. Already, our office has received the total # of ballots cast for the 2016 General Election so…wow. Also, for those in early sobriety (which includes me) who might have trouble sleeping, just want you to know that last night was the first time since I quit on August 28th that I closed my eyes at 11 PM and opened them at 6:45 AM. Even my covers were undisturbed. Can’t remember the last time I had that blissful a slumber. Sleep has been gradually improving since those first days, especially AFTER day 30, so take heart. I never, ever want those 3 AM wakeups again. Another way sobriety is worth it.
Ah ok, that makes sense then. I’m sorry man that’s a tough situation.
For sure. Thanks
I feel this so hard! It’s also about building and ingraining a new normal, new patterns, making “what we know” something healthy and sustaining, so that when things get tough we go running to what we know and it is actually GOOD for us!
Beautiful 90! Well done!!!
Happy birthday! 
A wonderful sober milestone.
Day nothing here 
just a few hours clean. Sharing my art with you guys - with everyone here. Take care.
“Make me a weapon, forged in fire, as silent as the night. It shall be my weapon forever. Make me the best weapon that any man can dream of.”
He went and slept. Waiting for the old man. The witch made Him dinner. She sat with Him. “You are not destined to be a king. You are destined to be a God. People will remember you for millions of years. People will worship You. You are a destroyer. Let me travel with you O Lord. Let me travel in Your shadow.”
He was silent. His mind was far away. In the mountains with the Saber-tooth. Both the cat and the Boy knew thier destiny. The Boy was preparing."
@anon79808082 I’m so freakin’ stoked for your 150 days! Thanks for being a constant positive and supportive force for all of us. I so appreciate you!
Sometimes it just clicks in your brain and no one knows, why exactly at that moment, not earlier, not later. It seems as if our brains would know what is the right time to make things conscious, what is the point, when it is able to process the information.
I’m glad you’re working on it so hard, you’re doing great.
