Just think it through man. shit like child support doesnāt stop if you donāt have a job. in MI theyāll take your license away and through you in jail for that shit, Iām not sure how NY is. You are right about deserving to be happy. Try to think about the positives of your job maybe, there must be some.

@anon60334405 Iām with @Dan531ā¦Iām sorry youāre going through this man. Are you able to maybe look for other work while you ride it out at the current place? That way you are always able to pay the bills.

Day 231
After 3 weeks of my mood trending downward I think its finally going back up now (yay). I think maybe the party and being around people and checking in here snapped me out of it. Life is returning to normal sort of. Well I finally feel comfortable enough to put my daughter in gymnastics. (Both grandparents that we live with are now vaccinated 
) Yesterday was her 3rd class. Its good for her to have to listen to someone other than me!
My friend mentioned that I need to do something for myself. Thinking about signing back up at the gym but Ive gotten so used to working out at home, I cant imagine driving so far and finding parking and being on all the waiting lists for classes but a 2.5 hour break from my kid is calling my name .
Glad to be sober. Sometimes it really feels like a fight, but then there are days like today where you wake up and you suddenly feel so much better. Its proof that everything is temporary.
@CapriciousCapricorn The one thing I hate most about this app is that everyone lives so far away!! But I guess I should look at the bright side, my friends are always conveniently in my pocket!

I wouldāve said, āIām right here, donāt be a pĆ·Ćy and pretend youāre being slickā. Although you would have to probably walk and find a ride home, lol.
But I would have to ask him why he did that instead of coming to me like a man.

Yeah. Itās bs. It all started this morning, he literally lives right next door to me, I wasnāt late or anything and when I got in he said Iām gonna have to start figuring my own way to work, that itās hard enough being up himself. And then when we got to work, there is only 4 of us in housekeeping right now, he sits in his office all day. And he started saying and since when does the housekeeping department stop letting ppl get in trouble for showing up when they want, or showing up late. The free rides are over. I was smiling the whole time bc I did think it was funny, I almost said fire them fire them in a chant. After work Iām gonna tell him, not to worry about rides Iām all set. And Iām gonna say he should really turn those housekeepers into building 5 he might do them a favor and then walk away. @Dan531 Iām pulling my pants up, Iām going down Monday to get my disposition paper taken care of and going back as a c.n.aā¦ I also got offered a job making 19 a hr paving this summer.

Day 186: Happy Friday! The sun is shining, for now, and a long walk with my pup is calling my name. Grocery pick up and cooking a stir fry this afternoon. Glad this long week of medical stuff and getting poked and prodded is over! It really was exhausting, but I feel that I have achieved a milestone in my wellness journey. I have one outstanding test to hear about and then I will be caught up on most things. Next upā¦the dentist! I have a couple cracked/broken teeth that luckily are not painful but really need attention. That is my task for next week - find a dentist. I am looking forward to being able to chew properly and take care of my mouth from now on.
Sending sober loving vibes to you all! Donāt forget to reach out if you need support this weekend, and help a fellow member out in turn if youāre able.

Day 274 clean and sober today. I think they may discharge me today with an oxygen tank but Iām not sure yet. Iām in no means trying to go home early though, Iām grateful to be here and be able to get the level of care that Iāve received from this hospital, itās truly been a blessing. I spoke with the mortuary staff yesterday and Corey has been embalmed so that everything can wait now until I get out and better. My plan for his memorial is to have an open casket / memorial at the funeral home where all of his friends and anyone who knew him that wanted to pay their respects can do that at that time. I am not going to be there, itās too much for me. After the memorial service they are going to cremate him and I will be taking his ashes out on a boat to the same place I scattered his moms ashes back in 2001. It will just be me, Corey and the boat captain, no one else. Shit this is tough you guys. I love you, have a good day

Day oneā¦ so far not sure how long these days will last for me anymore. The longest Iāve had was a year and that was due to starting out strong in my first program and the very beginning of the lockdown soon after (so less ability to act out, for me). After that itās been relapse after relapse, but if anything I think itās helpful that I notice it and that I reset my day count every time. I think it helps me feel more accountable and my hope is that I donāt let myself think itās the ānormā to go down that path again. I know it wonāt end well. Iām grateful for the group where I can write this out to people who can hopefully understand where Iām coming from. Itās nice to not feel so alone in this

Itās so heartbreaking, Robā¦ my heart is so sad for you, honey. I know it doesnāt help to hear but he is at peace and he would only want you to know that and that he loves you deeply. You were blessed to have him as a son and he was with you.
