Getting back into a good routine. Itās great to get back to visiting the clients and staff at the treatment center. It gives me something to do and helps me alot. I quit using the nicotine patch and gum 50 something hours ago. Itās making me cranky but I quit alot of other things using the steps already.
Wishing you all the best. God bless.

Today I chose sobriety for the 72th day in a row, because I want to discover what potential life can come out of work and soothe, what I can learn of tensions and relaxation, how strong I can become in training and meditating, how much I can learn while reading and practicing my profession, how much I can give and receive from loved ones, and how much I can find peace and help people get through life with a little less pressure in their heart.
Life is precious. You donāt have to miss any minute of it with alcohol. Enjoy every feeling because they mean that youāre living fully. In the fight, we learn and grow.
I wish you all a good night or day,

Checking in and still sober. Feeling good mentally, physically and spiritually. Today was my last day at IOP due to jobs coming up soon. Iāll miss it, but itās time to move forward. Glad I did that along with detox to break up that nasty binge. I was on a war path to my grave, no doubt. It was scary as all get out!
Hope everyone has a good holiday, stay safe and enjoy.

433 Days. I was so excited to get off work early today. I planned on coming home and using that time to catch up on things. Well, I got home, sat down and fell asleep for 2 hours. I had no energy when I woke up and didnāt get anything done. I guess my body was telling me I needed the rest.
I got a text from a co-worker tonight saying she went for a covid test. Results wonāt come for 3-5 days. We worked closely the past 2 days with masks. But what gets me is that we have to pass a bunch of questions on an app in order to be allowed in the office. She obviously lied when answering those questions. Thereās no way she would have passed with the symptoms she has. All day yesterday, when she was coughing and sniffling, she kept saying it was allergies. Why canāt people just do the right thing rather than jeopardize everyone elseās health? Thatās just selfish in my opinion. Iām not worried about getting it myself, itās the people I come in contact with that worries me. My 82 year old MIL is one of them.

Havenāt posted here in about 2-3 weeks. Was feeling ashamed and embarrassed about relapsing. I have posted on here so often about slipping that Iām tired of talking about it and honestly feel like everyone is tired of hearing it lol (which prob isnāt true). I was actually wanting to wait for my 7 day mark of being clean before I made a post just that I can show you all (and prove to myself) that Iām doing this and putting in the work. Right now tho Iām coming up to 1 day clean. Anyway, today was a decent day. I used yesterday evening and all through the night and didnāt sleep last night so Iāve technically been awake for 37 hours. Not good. But I wasnāt able to rest during the day bcuz I had responsibilities and things to do. I got through my day (it was rough but I caused it). On the plus side tho, I got paid today and didnāt spend a damn cent on drugs!!! Yay me 
And I definitly canāt wait to sleep tonight and get some rest. Usually it takes me a few days to mentally, emotionally and physically feel somewhat normal when Iāve used alotā¦ so my hope for this time around is that I dont forget the negative shit drugs cause. Anyway, Iām glad to be back friends. Hope everyone is doing well and staying as healthy as possible. Luv to all!

Day 1,119. I was officially given a nice promotion at work today and a very significant raise (I still donāt make a ton because itās a non-profit agency). This was all supposed to take place many months ago but Covid did Covid things and pushed everything back. Old, drunk Derek would have reacted poorly when everything got pushed back. However, these days I just let things happen according to Godās plan. Sobriety works.
