Try to find exit plans to remain resilient while you are there. Do not worry about looking rude or crazy if you get up and run outside, if you have to.

@Freckles congrats on 30 days 🎉
@StayStrong congrats on 4 months 🎉
@CapriciousCapricorn congrats on 400 days 🎉
@Rockstar24777 hoping that it’s good news 🙏🏻
175 days no alcohol.
132 days no cocaine.
Today didn’t begin well, there was unnecessary drama in one of the support groups WhatsApp chats again. Now I’m already anxious about the next Zoom group which is 10 days away, because I’m thinking there will be more drama there as I’m sure today’s issue will resurface. I really don’t like conflict, it makes me feel so ill.
I finally managed to get back into the fiction series and was making my way through book 3, when my friend msged me asking for a lift to the hospital, so I took him there then came home and came on here, now I’ll get back to the reading 😊
I really do hope I get this job I’m interviewing for, it’s becoming more obvious every day that that’s what’s missing from my daily existence 🙏🏻

Atta girl Stella.
I don’t know how many times you can think or call someone “Amazing!” But you always are amazing. We all learn so much more each day you are here.
🙏🏻❤

  reality is setting in that summer is in its finally weeks. Less than 4 weeks of summer left 😢 its getting darker already in the mornings everyday the sun is rising later. This means when I wake at 5.30am the sun is not up for a while so il be investing in some new luxe candles to light for the mornings now. I can’t handle harsh light in the mornings… I feel good this morning. Had a flat day yesterday. 3 more days left till I go away on my two week break. Really looking forward to having time away from my apartment.

3:00 a.m. used to be the time I woke up after drinking too much. Same thing every time. Just like the movie Groundhog Day.
1. 3:00 a.m. my eyes open
2. I realize I feel like sh#t
3. Say “Oh no. Not again”
4. Say “I wish it were tomorrow. This is gonna be a long day”
5. Realize no more sleep will come
6. Lay in bed thinking terrible things or get up way earlier than I need to
7. Put my bleary eyed self together and go to work
Now when I wake up at 3:00 I’m so happy when it is because I have to use the bathroom or the cat walked on me!!

Day 147: Doing well today! Got my morning walk in with Miss Lupe, we do about a mile and it’s enough for her weak back leg, because she starts doing a bit of a hop-a-long at that point. I slept great, I have motivation and energy and my body is cooperating (no chronic pain issues today). Who is this person?!? Taking some time today to go through my health journal and get some notes organized for my doctor’s appointment on Thursday.
Sending love out to all my TS friends! Stay strong, stay sober, and don’t forget we’re here if you need support, you just have to reach out. 💗
