I applied for an apprenticeship today, as an Early Years Educator for disabled children with life-limiting conditions. I have worked with them as a carer before and found it really rewarding. I always struggle not to get my hopes up all these times I’ve applied for things since getting sober, and the closing date for applications isn’t til 20th October, so it’s a long wait to find out if I’m through to the next stage.

Congratulations on 700 @Dan531. Stay strong, mate.

Day 423
Still sick. This cold has been relentless. Finally starting to let up a bit today. I laughed this morning because it was easy to tell when everyone was awake because there was sniffling suddenly throughout the house.
Feeling anxious that I haven’t felt well enough to get much done the past week. Going to meditate and head to bed. Good night all!

[MagicILY]

Day 55 no alcohol! Happy Saturday everyone.

[Mno]

841. Coffee. Counting down to the end of my double work week. Three days to go. Sober and clean. Shoulder is so so. My head too. I’ll keep going ODAAT. One foot in front of the other. Have as good a Sunday as you all can. Make it clean and sober. Love.

[Its_me_Stella]

Ty Tyler, that sounds like a very rewarding job.

[Chiron]

Im glad you’re okay!

[Tomek]

What happened?
Don’t compare it to last year, that’s just your addict brain creating a loophole so that you give in.

[Chiron]

Chronic pain is really difficult, and I’m so sorry you’re going through this. I have sincere sympathy for you as I’ve dealt with my own struggles since a surprise meeting with a snowplow in 2017.

The constant pain can just sap emotional and physical energy. Big or small, constant pain can really take a toll. I hope you’re able to work through this sooner rather than later.

[Mno]

You’re leaving where? The bar? Great! Here? Don’t! It’s never worth it. Never ever ever. Hang with us.

[Dazercat]

Thank Chiron.
I actually did something amazing the other day. I LISTENED TO MY BODY and I didn’t do any work outs on Thursday or Friday. And took it easy. And I’m feeling much better. I had Pilates today with my new trainer. And I got X-rays scheduled with my chiropractor on Monday. Fuck chronic back pain.
I guess I’ll checkin while I’m here.

632 days AF
44 days no added sugar.

@Dazercat

I LISTENED TO MY BODY

Good for you! Your body knows what’s best! I mean.not as much as Alice knows best, but close enough.

But seriously, that’s good. It can be a hard lesson to learn, especially if you’re used to doing more. Hang in there! I’m cheering for you!

[siand]

That sounds like a great thing to go for! If it doesn’t come through this time then hopefully the right thing will be waiting just around the corner… But keeping everything crossed for you regardless

[Misokatsu]

Noticing is the first step to change. Make this time different.
