Day 10, Wish I didnt have to start over from having 217 days before but it what it is. Went out with a couple of old friends last night and I think they are finally accepting I donāt drink. One of my friends ordered club soda with lemon and the other got mad because she wasnāt drinking saying āAm I the only one who is drinking tonight?ā I like my other friendās reply āyes honey but you go aheadā tickled me a little lol. Have a good weekend everyone!

@CATMANCAM The happiness you exude makes me smile.
@anon27700620 Good or bad days your shares donāt require apologies. Congratulations on your 8 months.
@Sunny11 Congratulations on 250 days. Keep fighting the good fight cuz youāre kicking ass.
@Will3 Congratulations on 11 months.
@Penguin Congratulations on 1 week. Recovery is a journey not a destination and Iām glad youāre back on this path with us. Tears are a healthy release of emotions. Feeling the feels has been one of the hardest parts for me but has allowed me to learn a lot about myself. Feeling instead of numbing is hard, but so worth it.
@apes2020 Congratulations on 2 weeks.
@C_8 Congratulations on 18 months. You are inspiring and your presence here is appreciated.
@vaariesga Congratulations on 300 days. Somehow it seems like yesterday that we were congratulating each other on double digits and look at us now. Iām thankful to have you on my journey.
@Licorice Congratulations on double digits. You didnāt lose the knowledge and tools you gained in your 200+ days. Use them, learn from your relapse and keep fighting one day at a time. Iām in your corner cheering you on.
311 days. Still havenāt heard about the job and by dayās end yesterday I was emotionally exhausted and went to bed early. Hopefully I will hear something today and I can ease my mind. Need to get ready for another interview that Iām honestly just not excited about.

Checking in on day 2. Waiting for my meeting tonight. I donāt really want to but I know I have to. So yes thatās my plan for tonight. Tomorrow my birthday and that thought of it makes me really sad. I donāt really want to celebrate and I donāt want anyone to come overā¦ But my kids are so excited as if it were their birthday tomorrow. Sweet kids excitement. I adore them.

Day 228: Wooo what a day. Iām already wiped. Met with my therapist over video chat for the first time after weeks of messaging that didnāt feel like it was going very far, but talking in real time made a big difference. I think I needed that connection and we got a good plan going forward. But I was stressing it beforehand. Afterward, I had so much nervous energy so I took Miss Lupe for a nice long walk where I let her stop and sniff whatever and whenever, so it took us about twice the time, haha! She was in sniffing mode today! When we take a new route she has to sniff and mark, sniff and mark. Funny girl. I felt much better after listening to a podcast and taking her around on a cloudy but warm enough day. Iām still working on my ānovellaā of a story on my Rosa Feels the Feels thread for you all, some things I really want to document and share. I would really love some feedback after I post it, so thank you in advance Iām looking forward to a weekend with hiking and grilling out and working around the house. Sending love your way, amigos.

Checking in on day 8.
Yesterday I decided I needed a new approach to sobriety and start asking for help. So I sprung into action and met up with a close friend for a walk. Weāve known each other for 10 years and always stayed close, even when I lived in Germany.
I told her all about how I had my first depressive episode 3 years ago, that I used alcohol a lot to cope and how it led to me become addicted.
She was really great and understanding as her dad also dealt with depression. She offered to help me look up resources in order to get professional help (which I procrastinated for 3 years now after being diagnosed).
Iām not sure she bought the addiction part though, because we mostly talked about depression, but itās a great start. It felt so good to talk to someome close to me. Went well. Didnāt get judged. Was offered unconditional love and support. Will do it again!

Day 343. Lots of stress lately but also lots to be grateful for. Summer is around the corner, which is when I relapsed hard last time. So itās bringing up a lot of bad memories. But itās good to remember the past so I donāt repeat it. I never want to forget how bad it was.
