My headlamp illuminated just about a square metre in front.
Oh wow how beautiful

Day 16 almost 17. Days are getting a bit better. Not constantly thinking of how I shouldn’t have a beer. Today had to visit someone at a bar. Kept telling myself how I need to say no if they offered. Very glad they didn’t… not sure what I really would have done. But now I’m at dinner with an unsweetened tea. Life is good and another sober to be thankful for.

Occasionally. I’ll try and get pictures if it does.
That made me laugh out loud after the frostbite wore off from looking at that pic of course. That’s a big old nope. Oh how I loathe the winter. Bought me a big ass bubble coat in anticipation

When are you due to get your licence back?? In the mean time, work as long as you can and as many shifts as you can and save every penny u can. Literally save it. Money will be your answer to help you sort out options to relocate… It sounds like thats the thing you need to break out of this cycle… Is that what you want? If so, you need to save, get your licence and just keep working out, eating and sleeping, work, working out, eating, sleeping… Have a plan it place… I Know you can achieve it. You just have to plan and be realistic… Don’t call In sick to work anymore… Get a second job if you can. Pick up more shifts… And just save. Money will be your helping hand out of the situation you are seemingly stuck in… You can do. Just write out an achievable plan and the steps you need to take to make it happen… If you don’t plan in life, it slips by you with out you even realising… In my 20s, I had only a few thousand saved after I bought flights to London… I saved that money over about 6 months… I flew to London on my own. Had hardly any money with currency exchange at that time the pound was ridiculous, so I was forced to find ANY job asap. Long story short, in 4 years I lived there I ended up Travelling to 16 countries living of bare minimum and eating from super markets and living in hostels. Then I went to new york in the same situation one night on a whime I decided to leave and the not day was on a flight from London to new york. I went with Almost no money. I got a job and ended up staying four years… The moral of my story is, if me, the worst spender ever, can do it, You as can do it!.. You just have to have a minimal plan and make the decision to take action!!.. It’s a huge world out there. It’s waiting for you

It has been an exciting life indeed I can say… I am currently living my most calm, still, stationary life that ive lived since I was 18… It’s been an interesting year being so grounded in one spot… I’m very aware of how fast my life is going by now lol … The highlight of my week is about to happen now, a trip to target and Kmart LMFAO … Love target at this stage of my life lol

Day 260~ Holy shit I can hardly keep my eyes open I’m exhausted. Today has been an absolute shit show. Tomorrow is opening day for our new shop and the tasks still haven’t ended… I’m waiting to meet the Fro-yo guy as I type this… it’s almost 10 PM. It’s just been a very hectic and a long day. Of course there was some family drama to be had. 
Dealing with extended family is so hard… it’s like I’m damned if I do and damned if I don’t. I wanted to have a soft open tonight with just family before the big opening tomorrow but had to cancel due to things outta my control and of course I was made to be the asshole. Like sorry I’m trying my best. It’s just always something. I had a meltdown and good cry in the back room. I just needed to let all the stress and pent up feelings out. Tomorrow’s a new chapter in my book and I want to start it off with positive energy. I cannot even imagine if I was still drinking; this business would have never gotten off the ground. I know there is going to stress and things are not going to be as perfect as I would hope but as long as I maintain calm and know I’m doing my best that’s all I can do. Everything will be ok.
Just keep trying no matter how stressed or how much you feel your back is up against the wall. Being sober is only helping the situation.

Checking in before bed. Well, I say that, I’ll fight it until I can’t no more. I don’t know why I’ve been staying up so late. Sheesh. Maybe I like being awake now, so I guess that’s good.
Crazy day filled with good stress. Going to see wonder wheels tomorrow and keep him company a bit. 
Happy sober dreams peeps

You’re doing amazing things, Courtney, under extraordinary circumstances. You’re such a strong lady; even if you need to cry and shake it off, you do it.
I’m proud of you!
