Day 316. Felt frustrated today but tried to focus on all the things I have to be grateful for. Maybe I’ll start off the day tomorrow with a morning meditation. I haven’t meditated in a while, even though it always makes me feel better. Why don’t we do the things that are good for us?

Day 272.
Better today. The weather can’t make up its mind what season it should be. Even the dog girl was cranky this morning - heavy sighs of impatience. (We should be walking now !) Both of these just seemed to reinforce for me, moods will come and go - the sads always let up when I just let them pass through, instead of trying to deadbolt the door (with a corkscrew).
Like any day around here - there’s always some stuff to celebrate!
@Girlinterrupted 10 months! and beauty pics. this is the stuff o’ smiles… 
@Mischa 6 weeks! that’s progress, friend!
@Teammeyer2021 2 weeks is huge. I hope you are proud!
@Charlie_C big boy cereal - I love it.
@Misokatsu if you figure wtf to talk about in those no-small-talk-left moments, please share! glad you had fun. and yeah - i don’t think our booze helped us out back then! 
Goodnight, sweet friends. Let’s do another day tomorrow, it sure beats the alternative.
Big love to all.

A daily check in is a great idea. I’ve been anxious all day and being in this community really makes me feel calm.

A busy day going to the children’s centre for a regular appointment for my son, a joy-filled trip to the city hall, and going to a trial at a cram-school for my son. It can’t be helped, but I do spend so much time on stuff for my son, I feel a bit sorry for my daughter, she gets a bit left to her own devices.

I almost lost my sobriety last night, I see all the reasons I don’t want to go back to drinking, I see all the relpases on here and how much it wasn’t worth it, yet my mind just didn’t care I was over being sober last night over always feeling in a funk no matter how much i try to get out of it. Bad weekend with my girls, I was super grouchy and my mom just had to tell me about it, which caused me to put my boundaries up and tell her to my her business so what does she do exuse me of doing drugs again. That didn’t even bother me I told her to think what she wants. I told her to stop taking my inventory and worry about herself. I’m eating so terrible, donuts, ice cream, gummy bears, cereal, everything but healthy foods haven’t jogged in a idk how long barely lifting weights. Idk what I’m doing or what I need to work on but I hope I figure it out soon. I hope my doctor can get this medicine where it needs to be, part of me wants to stop taking it and I tried Saturday and ended up getting even more irritated. Fucking eh man 
420 days and sobriety still doesn’t feel any better then the first day, it hurts I know I hurt more in addiction but wtf I remember being able to let loose when I had some fuckin drinks. Much love

I’m sorry you are having a tough time Mike. You know drinking and or using won’t help matters and will only make things worse. These feelings and emotions will pass. Stay the course and stay strong.

Aw Mike, you are doing so good, dont forget about all this amazing progress you’ve made! Be easy on yourself.
These feelings will pass, maybe they are here to tell you something is out of whack.
You should get your diet and excersize back in check. I know if I miss even one day my mental health starts slipping. Get a good work out in and some healthy food in you.

Not sure how relevant this is, and I am certainly not a doctor so check this out before you do anything with it, but vitamin B complex supplements really help me when my nervous system starts misbehaving.

Sorry you are feeling like this. I haven’t been sober as long as u, but I have seen some ups and downs in that time, and the downs have ended eventually, so hang on in there. Being accused of using again after such a long time sober, would fuck me right off, so u have my sympathy there.
