I love all this (except the part where youāre sad and stressed, of course!). Youāre amazing.
Iām not 3 hours into the work day, and Iām going to put your eldest 2 in charge of my boss too and join you with the screaming and tea and choc. No sharing.

Day 295 
Summer has come, all the tables on the beach are full, I walk by them. I donāt sit at those tables anymore, I donāt question myself why I canāt drink. This is my way now, to live Sober and live every moment of life with acceptance and feeling.

Checking in for the 423rd day at a time. No matter long we have it all comes down to that. Sometimes a second, minute or hour at a time. Hope everyone has a great day

Day 53.
Back to work with a bump today. @Singtone hi - a fellow teacher here. I will be moving to Hungary from the UK and it will be my first teaching post abroad. Iām really excited (and a little nervous!)
Quite a lot of stress today - such a contrast to my paat week of family and quiet beaches. I think Iām feeling it all as I also have a to do list as long as my arm and Iām very tired after a long journey yesterday and a disrupted night of sleep.
So Iām making the decision to eat some healthy food and get into bed with a book. The rest can wait until tomorrow when I can act on things properly. Iām going to meditate and journal before bed as I didnāt do it quite as much as I would have liked while away. Another day sober, though. Someone asked me about it today and asked if I could feel a difference - YES absolutely! I need to remember to focus on that.

@Tykster2020 & @Misokatsu Congratulations on 300 days. Keep fighting the good fight cuz youāre both kicking ass.
@Mno I will celebrate you today and tomorrow. Your shares and photos have become part of my day that I look forward to. The honesty and strength you show in your journey are inspiring and I greatly appreciate you.
@anon53116147 I would enjoy a thread of your work.
356 days Have found myself in a bit of a funk today. I can hardly wait until school is done for the summer and pray for a return to in-school learning for the fall. The frequency of time spent on YT or Google while supposed to be doing school work is stressing me out and Iām running out of ideas. Being a stepmom has certainly presented me with obstacles and Iām tired of always feeling like the bad guy. I know with patience and time things improve but Iāll be glad to remove online learning supervisor from my duties. Went for my orthodontist consult last week and am preparing for a financial commitment for braces. I just about shit this morning when I was quoted $420 for a consult with a periodontics office. There are concerns about bone deterioration and a periodontal consult is required prior to getting braces. I understand the reasoning but the cost blows me away. I need to remind myself that Iām worth it but at the same time I donāt have a money tree in my backyard. Itās just all so frustrating and feeling like two steps forward and one step back.

Tomorrow morning I will visit my friend. I bought her a few birthday gifts and a card today. I am even anxious about giving those incase she hates them. Feeling less anxious about the visit itself (I think). Going to leave mine before rush hour so thereās not so much traffic to navigate, and then leave here in time to get home for lunch before gym and swimming in the afternoon.
I am looking forward to my Podiatrist appointment on Wednesday and also a visit to my Auntieās on Thursday morning, she has invited me over as she is looking after my niece for the day, so I will get some precious time with her too 
we are going to walk to a new play park.
My elbow really started hurting during the swim today, I probably should have stopped when it did but I wanted to finish my 45mins, and with difficulty, I did!

6 degrees. Cold and dark and rainy 
So yesterday I had a job interview. Iāve applied for a bunch of jobs because the job I have now is only casual and the hours at OTP class are reduced because Iāve finished the first part of it that is earlier in the day. So now I have some free time on my hand a so Iād like to get another job. Iād also like to start saving to be able to go back to new york for a holiday when ever travel becomes OK again. So Iām trying to prepare for that.
I even changed my phone screen saver to new york so I can try manifest it sooner 
I have a dentist appointment this morning. I have to get my remaining wisdom tooth out and I also want to straighten my teeth so I need to find out about invisalign. Doing all the maintenence now that im sober and clean

Congrats on 43 days April.
Good luck at the dentist. I finally finished up just this morning with all my tooth and root canal procedures. And I didnāt need a new crown. Yippee 
Itās been cold too over here in Santa Monica. Well cold for Southern Cali in June. Low sixties and cloudy all the time. But I love it! Even got a slight sprinkle of what to you call that stuff? Rain 
I havenāt seen rain in months and months.
New York sounds great! I want to go to Broadway and see some shows. Iām hoping if David Byrne brings back his Show American Utopia we will go see in. Google it. Itās fantastic.
Good luck with the job too.
