I wonder if it’s all the sugar 
I hope you can run it out of you.
Do you meditate?
Since it’s been so cold and nasty here I been listening to my guided meditations with Breethe App and they got some Freedom From Emotional Eating ones that I been listening too and stuff like that. I bet many apps have specific guided meditations for what ever is ailing ya. I listen to the Free from Anxiety one all the time too.
Oh and congrats on 260. Big numbers

215 days no alcohol.
183 days no cocaine.
10 days no binge-eating.
Thank you so much for the support re my housing situation, but I’m sorry to report I won’t be moving in, my dad came with me to the viewing and he said it was full of damp and would make my health worse, it was actually so small in real life as well, I wouldn’t have been able to take hardly anything with me. So my Dad and his wife have agreed to let me stay in their bar while I remain on the waiting list for a council property, we all agree this is for the best in regards to long-term security and affordability.
Though I haven’t lived with my Dad since he kicked me out at 15, it shouldn’t be much of an issue because their bar is self contained and has its own shower room and hot and cold water. I will just need to take my kettle, microwave, and buy a small fridge and maybe my bed as that would be comfier for my pain management than a sofabed. I’ve found a deal on 3 months half price storage to put all my stuff so that’s affordable, and they’ve agreed to having my cats stay with me, they are going to move their cat into the main house. Oh and I’m not worried at all by the fact I’ll be surrounding by copious amounts of alcohol.
So now I plan to have a serious decluttering and minimising of things I don’t need and then start packing.
I’m so anxious about emailing the estate agent!

That’s pretty funny. Because about 20 minutes ago when you posted this I was having a session with Alice my orange one. 
Although she was on me while I was on my reformer. Cat therapy always works for me.

Not sure what a ‘bar’ is in this respect, but I’m pretty sure this is an excellent solution for the time being. Succes in writing the estate agent, this is for you Tyler! Congrats.

Hi Tyler, thanks for comment. It sounds like, although it will be exciting when you do get your own place, things have worked out for the best for now.
Worry not about the estate agent, they will get their pay cheque one way or another 
and I bet they didn’t tell you the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth about the property.

337 today. Off work so I’m doing some home repairs today. It’s funny, I am still finding my little hideaways that I used to stash alcohol. It’s a good reminder of how far I went to try and hide my drinking. I only thought I was hiding it. Everyone else knew. . I’m happy today and feel excited about being sober.

- Well this week has been rough. The hardest week I’ve had in long time. I spoke earlier this week about my daughter and I’ve had some peace about her. I’ve been going through the rest of the week on edge and very emotional. The unknown of my sons Dad has me living in fear of the phone call that he’s gone. It makes me so sad and I have tears just thinking about it. I read some where once that You can love someone and want them to do good and not be with them. That’s how I feel about my sons Dad. I have unconditional love for him but can’t be with him so my heart is breaking. I was hopeful a couple days ago but not so much today. I feel numb and unengaged. I am keeping myself some what busy but find myself off into a daze thinking about him. My son went to his girlfriend’s for the weekend and I had to call and tell him he took a turn and I could hear his heart break he said Ma I don’t have a good feeling about this
. Idk…I just keep praying and praying some more. Through all of this I do feel very strong in my recovery. For that I am grateful. So for now I’m going to keep busy and pray.

Today was probably toughest yet. Don’t know why just out of nowhere I was hit with a terrible craving that lasted hours. I managed to get to an online aa meeting and actually shared, which I never do, and felt better for it. One day at a time and 
tomorrow will be easier
