… 1226. Work is absolute shit today. I dont know what is wrong with humanity, but if I had 3 wishes…the first one would be that every single person has to do a 12 step program…

Stay sober friends…those of us that work with the public need to see a better side of humanity.

I’m here, I’m alive and I’m sober.
Day 335

Another Rainy day. I did what we call street market fair candy. Or poor man’s fudge,and tried to make gummi candy. But I ended up with something more similar to Jello. I’m giving it a new try another day. It can’t be that hard.

I’m planning for your renovation and my desired fall closet. Unfortunately for some reason I can’t upload pictures with this phone. So I’m sad to tell you that you’ll be out of daily fashion selfie s for a while. Or Maybe you’re more lucky to not have them :joy:

I’ve planned so much and have so many ideas that my husband decided to not do a thing with the renovations today. He got tired of just listening,:joy::joy:

Also I’ve put so much focus on that so I’ve forgotten to plan the crawfish boil party that’s we’re hosting in a week. I’ll take care of that on Monday.

Another wonderful sober day,with other words. Going to end the check in with telling you guys that I definitely loved the high waisted 90’s jeans trend,but I’m so going back to high waisted skinny jeans for winter and fall. It’s very non practical wearing something else when you live where I do. If it’s going to keep raining like this, I’ll soon have to buy higher wellies too. Or buy a rubber boat to go to the store.

Have a wonderful weekend y’all.

Checking in at the end of day 209. Late.
Went to see a couple of (drinking) friends with Mrs Singtone for dinner. Really enjoyed it. A pleasant evening. A drive home. A clear head in the morning.
Have a great sober day, wherever you are.
Goodnight. :zzz::sleeping:

3MONTHS18DAYS
Since I surrendered my children to my sister and I asked the hospital for help, telling all my truths to staff and CPS during labor and before delivering my baby Jude via c-section. The state never took me to court and I’ve learned honesty has been far more rewarding than living a lie ever was.
1MONTH&14DAYS
Since I started living at a sober house for mothers in recovery.
1MONTH&10DAYS
Since my urine was clean, completely, other than Suboxone.
0MONTH&03DAYS
Since I switch to methadone after doing suboxone treatment for 9 years.

I feel like me again. I feel like it’s Christmas every day too (like someone else posted). I am blessed and feeling pure bliss! I had my 3.5 month old the last two weekends overnight… and now I have my 2 year old for this weekend and the next! I love them more than they’ll ever know. I submitted my permit application, I went for an eye exam and am awaiting my glasses any day now in the mail, I’m currently on a wait list to obtain housing AND saving up for my own vehicle! If all goes as planned I’ll be able to achieve stability and structure.

@Iwebt congrats on your week :tada:
@Tinele congrats on your week :tada:

355 days no alcohol.
323 days no cocaine.
12 days no binge-eating.
4 days no nicotine.

Still so fatigued. Not getting anything done. No energy for exercising. Feel completely useless. Really hope my head clears and the fatigue starts to lift soon, but from what I’ve read it can take 30 days to 12 weeks! I need to do my cleaning, I want to start exercising again, and I want to get back on track with my eating plan. Not struggling with cravings really so that’s a blessing, but the fatigue is horrendous.

Welcome to the 400 club!!!

Waking up in someone else’s house is such an uncomfortable feeling and I am sorry you feel that way at your mom’s. I have faith one day you will find the perfect place to make yourself a home. It will be warm and cozy with all the things that make it yours. Why don’t you start doing a little manifesting? I like to use pintrest to put together interiors and exteriors I like, look books etc. I know there is a thread on here which focuses on the law of attraction/manifesting your dreams. I mean if nothing else it’s fun and a cool way to keep your dreams alive.

Big squeezes to you beautiful friend.

The first days was pain, pain in my body, everywhere, stomach, chest, back. Headaches. So terrible, early sunday morning I was scared and went to ER. They say its gastric gave me something for that and sent me home. My head was running wild, anxiety, panic, pain. Panic attack and almost faint several times, losing control over my legs. Not thinking about drinking.

Next cuople off days lots of anxiety and pressing feeling in my head. Some pain in my body but not so bad. Not thinking of drinking.

Next days, feeling mostly good. Thinking of drinking. ALOT. All the time. Want to drink, want to drink.

Today I still wanted to drink. But also today for first time in long I did do my nigthroutin in the bathroom. And in the mirror I could see my face and eyes, they look much clearer, better. I did not drink today.
