I know right. I’m running for POTUS in 2024 and after i obviously get elected the only thing I’m doing is getting rid of the time change, then I’m quitting

Checking in at the end of day seventy something. Played football this evening so I’m really buzzing. Hurting, but buzzing.
It’s almost not fair. The others all drink so I am gaining a little bit on them each week. Losing a little bit of weight. Gaining a little bit of fitness and stamina. Loving it. 
Life is so much better now.
Have a great sober day, wherever you are.
Goodnight.

I love how you say, “Life is so much better now,” - that’s the honest truth, right there!

Checking in.
At my Recovery Dharma meeting today, someone asked about the difference between recovery stuff and wider life stuff. Like obviously there are some situations that are tied up to substances and cravings… But then there’s all this other stuff that gets uncovered, as we learn more about ourselves and how we want to interact with the world.
I can see the point that there becomes an element of ‘human condition’ not necessarily unique to people in recovery as we progress along the path. But the recovery community is just this amazing space where people can be honest and vulnerable, where we are all here because we believe a better life is possible and we want to support each other in achieving that.
And also, how cool it is to know that you could turn up at mine any time, on a good, bad or neutral day, and not be tempted by your drug of choice. I’ll get the kettle on!

It’ll be d92 today.
So I had my first slaa meeting yesterday. And I can tell you, it was a good experience. I don’t know why I didn’t do it earlier, but what matters, is that I’ve done it now.
But now I’m faced with a lot of new things concerning slaa, and am not sure how to go about it all. But the people there are very helpful, so I’m sure things will work out.
So ya’ll have a great sober day!

Don’t think too much about it. Get a sponsor, get started. Action, not contemplation. My brain is way too sick to be relied upon for anything other than math problems and useless trivia.

Thank you Mitch! I feel like I don’t have all my ducks in a row, and get baffled 
But I did have a good chat with some members, so I’m getting there!

Hello hello, I’m 2months 15 days sober and feeling pretty decent about it. I’ve made a promise to myself that I’m going to share more in meetings, and today I just went up and said “hello I hate sharing but just wanted to claim my seat” and that was it 
other people have such profound things they share.
Hopefully it’ll get easier.

@M-be-free49 I liked that story, and well done for clinging on tight to teddy amidst it all! 
@apes2020 welcome back 
@Tomek well wishes for your friend 
@Rockstar24777 I hope the clarity comes
218 days no alcohol.
186 days no cocaine.
13 days no binge-eating.
Today has been very stressful. My enquiries all met with rejection or not met with a reply at all. Council have said I have to be homeless for 65 days before they can move me up the list into the top band. I’m in position 55 this week so it’s not going to happen any time in the next few months. Maybe it’s time to accept that crashing in my dad’s bar is for the best, I thought I had accepted it at the weekend, but I’ve got so much anxious energy when I do nothing so I always try to be proactive, I guess the serenity prayer wouldn’t go amiss. I’ve been so busy stressing that it used up all my limited energy and I’ve done no decluttering or packing today, and to top it all off, I emailed my solicitor to check she received my exchange contracts yesterday, and asked if we have a completion date yet…her response ‘no date yet and they were asking more questions yesterday’. That has made me feel worried sick. I really don’t know what I will do if I lose my buyer. Meditating helped a lot 
Trying to think positive and stay calm. Everything will be okay in the end
