Checking in on day 52. Trying to get back into a rhythm with work. I did sneak away for a long bike ride through the yucky smoky air this morning. Other than the haze, it is a beautiful day. Hope everyone is having a nice start to their week.

…1228. August makes a year for Ms. Monkey and mine relationship. We differ on what constitutes the actual day. So, we are just making a full month out of it.

Today we had a half day work, and went and enjoyed the hobby we first shared. It was our first time away from work that we did something together.

Now we are seasoning our new campfire grate. 4 day camping trip in about a week.

Day 99.
6.47am

Woke up at 6am to discover my weekly food delivery service came at 4.30am and left it outside the building. It has been stolen… Hmmmmm :grimacing: I booked day time delivery not over night delivery… Very frustrating. Its my first time using this company. Not off to a great start lol :joy:

Yesterday I had a really good day.

I got a few call back for some jobs I applied for.

I have an interview and a trial this week. So thats good news :tada: its interesting that when you pump out like 50-100 c.v’s , you only get a few call backs. Its a very long process. Its addictive as well, waiting to get the call backs :joy:

Tomorrow is my day 100. I have to work tomorrow so I think I’ll take myself out for a nice dinner after work to reward myself for a strong 100 days :tada:

Lots of relapses amongst us on here today… Stay strong friends… We are all here for each other…if your feeling a slip up coming on, jump on here and have a good chat with who ever is online… There is always someone here 24/7 somewhere in the world with our time differences, some one is here time listen and to talk to… Always come here when your feeling it :heart:

Update - I found my food parcel box…another tenant stole it !! :joy:

I just happen to get into the lift at the same time as a certain tenant and I said to them " someone has stolen my delivery parcel that was left at the door at 4.30am"

She replied, " oh I put that in my room because I thought someone would steal it so I took it inside for safe keeping "

Lmaooooo bit$% you stole it lol !! You weren’t keeping it for safe keeping, you took it at 4.30am when no one was looking thinking you would get away with it :joy:

Moral of my story, I got my parcel back in one piece and I’ve learned that humans can be shady AF :joy:

She must of been hungry if she stole my parcel of food :joy:

You know you live in an amazing part of the world when you can feel like you have been transported onto a holiday at any given moment.
I am so lucky to live where I do and I am so, so grateful.

I took to the ocean today, my paddle board and I, it was the epitome of serene. I spent about 3 hours paddling, floating, jumping off and swimming in the beautiful clean ocean, ALONE, all alone. I didn’t want to come home but I promised myself there would be another day so there will be.

Off to a meeting shortly, with my cup already full. Whatever I take from the meeting tonight will be gravy, always loved gravy.

Checking in. Meant to post yesterday on my 20 days. I almost folded and cracked over the weekend. The devil :imp: juice :beer: just about had me. Had to talk myself off the cliff :mountain:. Reminded myself that I enjoy waking up sober, I enjoy a full night sleep. Love getting back to working out. Hate the hamster wheel and refuse to get back on it. Just tired of being a clown :clown_face: when I drink and looking stupid :man_facepalming:. Keeping this sober train :steam_locomotive: moving. LFG :call_me_hand::call_me_hand::muscle:🏋‍♂

I remember being at this exact point when the battle was tough and was almost daily and I really had to lean on my gratitude list. I could have written this post.
It gets easier. Keep going.

Checking in again for a second time today… making peppermint tea and watching The Mist. Never seen it before and I love Stephen King.

Today was mostly good but I’ve been fighting a lot with my boyfriend and today was no different. It’s really starting to weigh on me. I think the issues we are having contributed to my relapse — I take responsibility for my own drinking, and I don’t blame him. But I just feel emotionally drained. I am starting therapy this week and I’m hoping it helps to talk to someone.

Day 99.

I rarely and I mean rarely have days where stuff goes wrong.

Today everything has gone wrong.

From the moment I woke up l, it started with emails that were not ideal.

Down to all the supermarkets being out of my coffee that I buy.

Everyone was so rude today out there in the world.

Even the puppies on the street ignored me :joy:

I got home and burst Into tears from all the negative energy. So bizarre because I rarely cry.

I’ve come to the conclusion that because I normally start my day slow and calm, I meditate and journal and dont go on my phone…

This morning I didn’t do that, I was I’m my emails before I got out of bed, the negative energy set my alignment in motion, and for then on out the universe delivered me what I was in alignment with… Ughhhhh :grimacing:

So mornings slow and calm are super important in starting the day out right, this I know to be true :rofl:

April, start your day over when this happens. Go sit on your bed and go through your morning routine even if it’s dinner time. This happens to me quite often because my mornings are so hectic. Before I get to work, my day is already shit so I go in an office, close the door and start over (meditation, serenity prayer etc) and it usually works.

I decided to do that. I Got back home, changed back into comfy clothes, had some comfort food, then jumped onto my bed to sit and breathe and meditate…

Thank you for suggesting that :pray:
