Second check in ā Day 11. Posting here so I donāt get all crazy on the kids next door. Itās dark, they SCREAM. Itās not like having fun, yelling in the āoutdoor voice.ā Itās screeching - every damn day and always when I sit down to do school work. I am not sure what this house is made of, paper mĆ¢chĆ©? Misophonia, though no joke, doesnāt even touch what I is happening here. I am pretty sure the mom locks them outside and then they scream and scream and scream.
Not really conducive to the business class work I have. Itās going to be a long night.

Checking in, sober and feeling pretty good. Some of the people in my IOP program are very interesting to me. Iām amazed at some of the things they do when the class is over. Itās like some put little effort into sobriety and they talk about it in class. Iām thinking crap; the program costs a lot of money, in some cases, so whatās up. Donāt get me wrong, I understand the struggle all too well and appreciate the honesty. Different strokes, for different folks I guess. At the end of the day, itās still a good class with supportive people and great information available
My afternoon was solid as well. Had a nice conversation with someone that may lead to a good job opportunity. I really appreciate when people listen and do what they say they are going to do. Ghosting someone really frustrates me. Makes me think that if that individual works for the company, I have no interest being there.
Hope everyone has an excellent, sober day - takes hell of courage. Congrats to the mile stones!

Iām sorry to hear that you relapsed but Iām happy that youāre here again. Check in with us daily from here on out and letās get back on track. Break out your journal and start writing it all down, get the emotions and feelings out then write the execution plan about how this time will be different. Wishing you loads of strength. Youāve worked so hard and definitely deserve the sober April.

Day 54. My anxiety is off the charts today- work was crazy, Momās COVID test results havenāt come in yet, and my dad is back in town for Thanksgiving. I took Max for a ridiculously long walk when I got home, so long that I ended up carrying him the last quarter mile home. I was tired enough when we got home that all I could do was take a shower and climb into bed. Tomorrow will be different. And for tonight, that has to be enough.
Thereās a lot going on here. @RosaCanDo and @Tommo, I related to so much you both wrote today. Iām always so happy to read your posts here. You both have a way with words that I can only aspire to. You should never feel badly about your posts. Youāre both saying a lot of things that many of us are thinking and feeling ourselves.
@anon27760155 donāt beat yourself up for feeling worried about your upcoming medical procedure. I think any of us would feel nervous and upset at the prospect of having to do that ourselves. You should be so proud of yourself for staying sober in the midst of all this. Youāre a remarkably strong person, you know.
@Briella Iām happy youāre here with us! Hang in there. Same goes for you, @apes2020. We all fall down. What matters is what we do once weāve tripped. Picking yourself up and starting forward again is the important part.
