Checking in sober and hitting a month this weekend with NO alcohol, period. It feels good to be back at a month. Today was a good day! Went for a dirt bike ride, didnāt wreck and met some cool guys from Kansas City MO. Also, got a job offer from Fed EX! Hell to the yea, things coming back together without the booze. Hope everyone is having a great day, please take care. Below my good friend is in front of me.
Oh man this made me laughā¦ I guess my inner drinking voiceās name is Rob, my old boss. Gah he still gives me nightmaresā¦
Great job passing up the wine! Who needs wine when you can have cheese??
Day 282~ Ummm well todays be incredibly boring and lonely. A bit depressing really. I went for a ride by myself earlier because Iām quarantining away from the family in case Iām positive. My symptoms currently are no taste and Iām starting to get a cough. My fever is lower and the body aches arenāt nearly as bad. Iām noticing when talking Iām having trouble breathing normally. This just sucks. Doctors office said it could be 5 days before I get the results. The testing site said 2-3 but the doctors office said thatās not the caseā¦ I called earlier today. Iāve got an appointment at an urgent care clinic tomorrow to get a rapid test. Iām gonna bite the bullet and pay the fee I need to just know if I have it or not. Although I think I know the answer. Iām not waiting 5 days. My mother in law is a type 1 diabetic with kidney disease and asthma and lives with us. Itās important I find out ASAP.
Itās been so lonely though. I miss being around people. I miss sharing my bed with my husband and just being with him. Iām trying to stay off social media and I wish I had tonight. I came across yet another friend hangout that guess who wasnāt invited. I donāt care they can think Iām not fun anymoreā¦ they donāt even know the real me. Iām not that party girl, hot mess of a friend anymore. I was thinking to myself earlier my only friends I truly have now a days are you all here on TS. I share more with you guys and know more about you all then I do my so called āFriendsā.
They are missing out so huge - I donāt say it meanly, just honestly. Iām so proud to call you a friend, and I know you and your big heart have made many of my days easier. You are and adored and appreciated so much on here! Feel better soon!
And Iām super proud of Fleur going out with friends too! @Misokatsu and Courtney, I raise my cup of ginger tea to you both.
I feel for you Courtney. Remember, you changed they didnāt. Trust me when I saw your not missing anything. Iāve hung out with some friends at the surprise party for my buddy a couple months ago, I never want to do it again. Sure I miss them, but thatās not who I am anymore
The way they live isnāt how I want to interact anymore. Give it time girl, youāll find more friends with the same goals as you. Much love feel better
@anon60334405@M-be-free49 thanks so much guys means a lot. Iām actually not feeling as badly as I thought I would. I kinda laughed to myself thinking I wouldnāt have wanted to be there anyways I Appreciate you both so much
Day 145.
Today was complicated and adulty. Found myself wishing it was about 1977. Mom would be starting her christmas baking for the freezer (cookies, cabbage rolls, etc, etc), Dad would take us to go cut down a tree, and Iād already be dreaming of a new kermit the frog or curious george (fickle girl) under same tree.
This was all before addiction and pandemics and even mundane adulty things. Hell, it was even before the bra entered my life and all the hassles that came with that!
But at least being an adult means making my own choices. Today I choose to be sober. Tomorrow too. And Iām glad for that.
Think I might just read a story book tonight instead of the news.
Gānight all. Thanks for being here.
Day 791. Iām going away for a much needed staycation tomorrow. Iāve been looking forward to this for a while. Unfortunately my state just shut down all restaurants so we will have to execute plan B, whatever that isā¦ sometimes you just gotta roll with the punches.
Work coming up. My living room is actually done! Luna is back on her heated windowsill and fits so well in her surroundings now. Iām feeling happy and proud about a job pretty well done. And on I go to the rest of my place. But work first. Sober and clean. Have a good Sunday all. Love from my new living room.
@Misokatsu Excellent work Flo. Itās never too late to work on yourself and be a better person. Which you are doing. Hell, Iām 55. I donāt feel like itās too late. Itās late yes but Iām still here. And hopefully got some time left to learn to enjoy life for real. @Dragonflygirl82 Thinking of you Courtney. Take care of yourself friend. Youāre a wonderful person and youāre not alone. @RainbowUnicorn Welcome to your sobriety and welcome here!
Checking in with all my clean and sober friends on day 1151 of continuous sobriety. Today has been emotional but it has also been an incredible teaching opportunity as it pertains to recovery.
I had to kick a door open to a bathroom and narcan a gentleman twice this evening in a bathtub before the paramedics showed up. Saved his life tonight and have the opportunity to work with him on a more personal level now. He has already text me apologizing for what has happened and when he is released from the hospital I will go pick him up and bring him back to the house. I pray to my higher power that this time heāll be receptive to a 12-step program of recovery. Remember folks addiction is cunning, baffling, powerful! We must always be on guard, stay connected and be in the middle of the herd.
Wow what a night. So glad you were there and sober and able to save this kid. God bless the work you do over there for all these struggling addicts. Congratulations on your 1151 days of sobriety. Your incredible. Seems like I been missing you on here for some reason. Poor timing I guess or just visiting different threads. Nice to hear from ya. Great job tonight.
Sometimes I feel when Gods too busy (heās not) he puts the right person in the right place at the right time. Hopefully this gentleman got the nudge he needed to turn his life around.
