Day 102.

Sober tings :point_right:

Yesterday on my day adventure I bought 3 pieces of art. Well there just prints in frames from Kmart , they were only $6 bucks each (!!)

As I lay them out ready to install on the wall, I thought to myself " if I was still using and not clean, there is no way I would be buying decor for my walls" :thinking: even though they were only $6 each, that was a moment of appreciation for my sober/clean journey. Doing this to invest In my overall happiness :heart:


@Becsta I’m sure you love a good Kmart run as much as me :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye::joy::heart:

Nice! I would have never guessed they were only $6. They look more expensive. I sure do miss Kmart. They all closed up about 2 years ago.

So in Australia, our Kmart is kinda equivalent to your target ( quality wise ) minus the food groceries section. So our kmart use to be quite cheap quality and just basic, but they got bought out a few years back and they had a big change up in the products and design department … Its really good now and its very addictive going in there lol ! :joy:

It was the same here but they couldn’t compete with Target and Walmart. Kmart was the only reasonable place to shop 20 years ago until the bullies came along.

Day 369 - got an interview for a mining position so I’m looking forward to that gonna keep pursuing that cause I want the income and life I deserve to have. Thanks @Dan531 for reminding me you gotta work hard for the things you want in life, and I lost my original career a few years back cause I was a drunk asshole, my current job pays good but that’s about it so I want something a little more in my life.

Here’s to bigger and better things and manifesting positivity :metal: also had the fire department show up at my house because of a false alarm, sorry @Dazercat I burnt the sausages :joy: was nice to see the old crew I quit over a year ago cause I was so ashamed that I was a high functioning alcoholic, there was no way I was in any way fit mentally to be saving people’s lives, made me think about going back.

So i am new here and don’t know if I am writing in the right place. I am danish so if there is any misspelling or wrong gramma, that’s why. So basically I’m an alcoholic, I used to be on something called antabus. I don’t know if you have where you’re from, but it’s a pill you take where you get very sick if you drink while you are on it. At New Year’s Eve I spoke to someone and he told me that i could take something to prevent these pills from working. I won’t say what it is in case someone else in here are on these pills. Anyway, I keep falling back in and can’t seem to find the right track again. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Eric…I thought about that question. Since my drinking wasn’t out in the open and a part of everyone I know’s life, I’m good with the private celebration. My family and friends see me as a successful person into working out and eating healthy. The drinking in recent years was so infrequent that nobody was concerned. Except me. Because in my head it didn’t matter if it was once a week, once a month, or once a year. I was not committed to sobriety. My social and non- drinking friends don’t get that. Everyone here does. So I celebrate with you. And I have the internal gratification that is mine to celebrate, too.

Exactly! Non-drinkers or social drinkers don’t have the same idea of sobriety that we do. Like you, I knew I wasn’t sober. And I felt like a lying fraud. With that came shame and all the other emotional rubbish. I feel good today and feel like I am living honestly.

I’m here and sober, but barely… (Edit: that’s more tongue in cheek with how crappy my week has been)

Question for any people with legal training (if there are any here, and not asking for legal advice), I’m trying to figure out if this is a legal matter or something I take up with the store corporate office:

Cutting out all irrelevant details to legal question, a grocery store pharmacist shared details of a phone conversation I had with him about my medication with a non-pharmacist store employee. Said employee followed me around the store until I confronted him and then he starts aggressively questioning me about my medication and mentioning details from the phone. He also accused me of things that never happened, but that apparently this pharmacist had told him (I have another pharmacist that can varify this), and made accusations about my character (which was really weird because I shop there all the time and have no issues).

The whole story is exhausting and not legally relevant, though it is something the corporate office needs to know about. I just don’t want to start talking if I need to see a lawyer. I have no idea how much this pharmacist could have shared about my medical information with this random employee.

For anyone wondering, the pharmacist found out I was going to contact corporate about an experience he was involved in, and part of what this other employee was trying to bully me into was taking my concerns to the store pharmacy manager.

All I know is they definitely broke a hipaa law. So they definitely will get in trouble, I definitely would just tell the corporate offices. Not sure about legal advice

That’s what I thought too. I don’t have a lot of law experience, besides… you know… being hit by a snowplow by my own company while driving to work. :laughing: But not about this and I’ve learned since not to talk if you have to sue someone. I just want to be sure before I reach out, you know? I don’t want to screw myself over before I even start.
