Day 86.
7.28am.
6 degrees.
Woke up to my neighbour making so much noise I can hear it through my walls, there off there heads and its being going all night… I really need to move asap, that can’t happen till I get another job. I’ve been looking for a while now , but now we are in lockdown again, its delayed action by a bit, I’m still being proactive and looking and applying online but no one is at work and everything is closed basically, so I just have to be patient … 
The short term plan is - get another job.
- find a new apartment
- begin new state of calm
Lmao 
Almost at 90 and the demons are testing me

Ok y’all. Huge announcement, for me anyway. I’ve been battling anorexia and bulimia for 37 years! I’m fairly close to hitting my longest stretch of freedom there. I think I got up to 47 days once.
Here’s the miracle. TRIGGER WARNING FOR EATING DISORDERS
I freaking ordered weight gainer. Weight gainer!!! I’m underweight, but in great shape, athletic body fat percentage of 16% but only 115 lbs, I’m 5’7’’. It’s by no means drastically underweight, but with my recomp workout routine, I’m losing weight. Can’t gain muscle if you don’t eat enough. I literally cannot physically eat as much as I need to, so weight gainer it is.
I won’t lie. I’m terrified. I have never, ever, been willing to gain weight before. The tricky part is my recomp. So instead of bulking and then cutting, I am building muscle while lowering bfp at the same time. It’s no easy task. Gives me something to do other than toon blast
I. Can. Do. This.
Anyway, would anyone be interested in a lifting/fitness thread?
I would never be able to make this progress in other areas of my life without this place and without my sobriety. Love to you all!

Met a cousin at aa this evening. I didn’t think he had a problem with drink. Nice chat after. Wouldn’t wish this afliction on anyone but so happy to see him face whatever he is dealing with.
I continue to gain so much from reading everyone’s posts here.

Self awareness will save your ass.
When the demon tests me I step up my recovery game. More meditating, more reaching out to other addicts in recovery, more meetings, more TS, more reading recovery literature, more time in nature.
Fill your spirit so full that spirit sucking mother fucker can’t fit in the door. Being on lockdown again must be hard but you are strong, and you’re doing great.
I saw something that said " don’t get too focused on counting days just make the days count." … something like that. Thought they were wise words.

2 days before this I was having a lovely day out sat on a balcony looking over the sea with the sun shining down on me whilst having lunch with my partner, the only thing missing was a nice cold bottle of beer so I decided after this much time one drink can’t hurt me. I thought it better to have a shandy bc that’s not really an alcoholic drink so bought a bottle of budweiser and a bottle of lemonade to mix. After pouring it in the glass I still had half a bottle of undiluted lager to drink. I put the shandy to my lips and thought what am I doing, as soon as I drink this shandy I’ll have to finish the bottle and my mind was already planning my next port of call for another drink. I put down my £5 drink and decided it was a small price to pay compared to what it would cost me in the long run and sat and enjoyed a cold Dr pepper. 10 months sober and still an alcoholic doing it one day at a time.
