Day 270.
Happy St Patrickās Day, Iām not Irish nor do I pretend to be, but I did sleep at a holiday inn express last night. I hope yāall get the reference
Things today are what they are any other day, pretty awesome, I got a care package today that meant the world to me, it feels great to be appreciated and loved. No it wasnāt donuts,
I also received an email about a job that pays well good benefits doing corrections, I didnāt think they would move that fast it blew me away, catch 22 is if they will let me interview remotely, because itās in another state, I guess my resume looks better than I thought. I am kinda excited about it

Day 261.
Iām not feeling spot on - headache-y, tired, sapped - and the dark circles under my eyes make it look like Iāve been drinking. yuck. I think itās just a whole bunch of life stuff catching up with me. I nursed tea all day and ducked out of a few nonessential work zoom meetings (ānonessential meetingsā should be banned, just sayinā).
Time for sleep, a new day tomorrow.
Funny, no matter whatās going on in my world, knowing Iām going to wake up without a hangover is like always carrying hope and possibility in my back pocket. Those doors would slam shut in a hurry if I reached for my wine glass.
So, letās see what tomorrow brings. But first, sleep.
We did another one, fine friends. Gānight, big love to all. 
@Rockstar24777 awww, now thereās some good news. congrats, big bro. hugs to you.

Iām really surprised in myself that Iāve been able to push myself this far. I promise that most days are emotionally draining for me and there are days I question my quest to betterment because I tend to be really hard on myself. I want so much better for myself and every cycle of my life has itās set of new challenges. But, what I can genuinely appreciate about sobriety is my decision to grow up and be a fucking adult. I couldnāt juggle alcoholism, smoking weed, and being functional as an adult. I couldnāt pay my bills on time regularly, I couldnāt take care of myself the way I should have been, I couldnāt prioritize work and home. I just didnāt really care.
In 600 days I have completely turned my life around. I have saved so much money, I have worked so much harder to prioritize sales goals at my job (even when I go through depressive slumps and hit a sharp decline), I have paid every single bill on time, My credit is excellent, I am working through the process of catching up with arrears to the IRS (2021 will be the 1st year I pay my taxes in full on time since 2015!), I am actively working on being debt free, I am going to pay off my car within the next few weeks 1 year ahead of schedule! I started a real registered and insured business! I am being A 
GROWN ASS WOMAN! Iāve cleaned up my diet, Iāve lost weight, Iām prioritizing my health, Iām more intentional, Iām becoming more spiritual, I talk to God every day, I pray, and there is more growth in me to come. Iām honestly becoming proud of myself. None of this is possible without God and sobriety. This community is my only āprogramā so it wouldnāt be possible without you too. Thanks for all the support.
