Day 95 wanted to get high today for about 1 hour straight ā¦ thinking about my friend that died and my ex gf led to me wanting to pick upā¦ I have no idea why ā¦ I told myself what the fuck is using dope gonna solve . Nothing ā¦she will still be gone and he will still be gone . I just had my house meeting where my sponsor put me on blast and said I need to be writing inventory more 3 pieces minimum a week . I have to write again I havenāt been and im thinking I can kick my feet up . Fuck no . Im still sick. Im still lost . Not where I was but im still looking to heroin/fety to escape life at times. I need to step it up. Goodnite everyone

Checking in on a sober day. Felt a lot of emotions, especially sadness and fear, when I learned of a classmateās death from likely overdose. He was a drug and alcohol counselor. It was quite the reality check for me and the person who told me about it struggles with alcohol as well, but was sober. It was so nice to talk with her and both of us be sober. It felt very comforting and like someone I can rely on again somewhat. I am looking forward to a great night of sleep and to wake up sans hangover.

Day 113.
12.01pm.
I am officially a sheep I got my first vax this morning. I technically didnāt want to get it but Iām going to need it to be able to go back to work and for international travel etcā¦ So bahhhhhhh 
I bought myself some spaghetti to reward myself 
Ive Been having reoccurring using thoughts the past few days. I know I wont use but the demon sitting on my shoulder constantly whispering in my ear is pretty loud and it really does my head in.
I know Iām strong at this point and my recovery tool box is chock full of useful ways to keep me from relapsing so I know Iāll be OK, its just a really uncomfortable last few days.
I think Iāll hit up some online meetings today and get that momentum going 
Anyhoo more importantly , @Charlie_C congrats charlie!! 
so adorable. You must be so proud and happy

Been a hot minute for check ins for me but interesting news
So I got a call Saturday asking if I was interested in doing a classic rock gig, sent me a few videos and o was like yeah I can do that, chatted with them for a few he said I have the core, I just need a few people I can call as needed to fill in, as most of us have other projects, myself included.
Original plan was meet with them Tuesday do some rehearsals see how we mesh.
Today I found out we are just going live Wednesday no rehearsals, nothing. Just gonna wing it. They sent me the songs and I know bits and pieces of 2 of them, I have 2 days to learn an 8 song set, and go live no pressureā¦ the solos are pretty lengthy and he told me donāt worry do your own thing,
Itās been almost 5 years since I played live minus the stuff I did at rehab and and for friends, and that was for fun. Entertainment, this is paying gig.
Iām nervous and excited at the same time, itās been a long time since I learned a handful of songs to just play, itās also my first time being sober doing this, so Iām at the point where Iām gonna say F**k it wing it and hope for the best,
