(oops just seen the extra month in there too, even better!)
267 days no alcohol.
235 days no cocaine.
I binged again 
Looking forward to being able to discuss all of this eating disorder stuff with a clinical psychologist on Thursday. Less than 45hrs until the appointment
Dropped my car of at the garage for the repairs this morning, unfortunately they canāt get the new wing until Friday, so Iām not getting it back until next Wednesday 12th. I donāt need it for anything until an appointment on 14th though so itās all okay really.
I have found another job I might apply for tomorrow. Itās the same grade I was when I worked for the government for 11 years, but for a different department. Navigating their new application process is a bit of a minefield and the job doesnāt start until September, but Iāll try my best with it tomorrow

@Its_me_Stella yeah I struggle with this too. Iām torn between liking to see it counting away and adding up but also sometimes feeling like Iām counting down to a relapse, crazy

Day 446~ Checking in. Itās been a while. Life has been hectic and busy as usual. Iām still sober and fighting the fight. The crazy neighbor next to our shop is still up to his lunatic antics. The man needs to take a hike. He chasing people around the neighborhood and yells at them for parking, even on the public street. Heās out of his mind and Iāve had just about enough of his ass quite honestly. Business is really picking up so Iāve been hiring more workers and trying to get everyone trained and ready for summer. My 9-5 has been super busy as well. Some days I donāt know how I do it. Itās a lot. I have a lot of people counting on me. I do my best but sometimes its so overwhelming.
Family life has been a bit rocky. My son and husband are not getting along. Thatās adding a great deal of stress. Iāve been the mediator for so long between the two of them. Iām learning I cannot fix them. They need to work it out. I canāt be held responsible for everything that goes wrong in this family. I cannot put that kind of weight on my shoulders any longer. My son will be 19 this month. The two of them are just going to have to work through it. Iāll be here to love and support but thatās all I can do and give.
You know through all the stress, drama, and craziness of my life right now; itās still 
times better than when I was drinking. Being sober is my super power. It truly is. It gives me strength and hope even on the darkest and hardest of days. At the end of the day, I thank God for all my blessings and find gratitude and peace knowing Iām living my best life I can. ODAAT.

I met a Senator from my state today with a group of Soldierās from my unit. My wife is doing really well back home and will be operated in the middle of this month (Knee replacement). Just talked to her today and sheās in high spirits. Fixing her credit, growing her business and taking online classes. Iām really proud of what sheās accomplished. My Plan on what am I to do when I get back home is beginning to take shape but for the moment, I have to stay focused on the Present. All in all, today was a good day.

Checking in on day 19. I dunno, somehow my body is forcing me in depression mode, itās like a tidal wave. Itās been hard to get out of bed or to have a positive thought lately - but my circadian rhythm and appetite are still intact, so that is nice.
Iām just so tired of all my own shit, Iāve done it countless times before: trying to deal with everything on my own, brain goes into overdrive, depressive episode, relapsing on alcohol. I now realize I need help getting out of this and Iām glad to have all of you in my corner. Iāve been āoutingā myself to friends and it went well. Now preparing to talk to my brother on the weekend - not sure what heāll say, but heāll kick my ass for sure (in a supportive way) 
Watched an AA-Zoom-Meeting, but Iām not sure I find that helpful at the moment, might come back later. Glad to be sober though. Doing one babystep a day, thatās all I can manage at the moment and I guess thatāll have to do.
Thank you for listening to my rant, hope you have an awesome day

Day 275, things are going okay glad I have support today was a very tough morning but its all gonna be okay, this part of the emotional process of being sober is dealing with everything in the present without drinking to drown myself. Iām hoping everyone has a great day I know mine has turned into a good day

Day 10.
7 degrees and frosty cold.
6.48am
Its officially cold here. I like the cold. I just dont like wind. I can break out the puffer coats this morning! I do want to go online and buy a new one though. Maybe il treat myself next week pay day. I havenāt online shopped in like 3 weeks so ive been pretty behaved. Iām curbing my habit 
My body is tight and achy from Pilateās yesterday. To be expected I guess. Alas, I have still booked myself in for another 8.45am class this morning. I am determined to get momentum with this work out routine.
Nothing else I need to do today. I will put dry laundry away. I will read. I will meditate. I will go for a lake walkā¦ Its a good day. No anxiety or urges. This is good
