Iām really sorry youāre struggling getting your bingeing under control Tyler. I wish I had some magic words for ya. Iāve been around awhile and Iām starting to learn these EDās are a real fucken bitch to get under control. People seem to be knocking out their DOC problems but the EDās continue to linger. You are not alone.
Is there anything at all you can change about your eating routine that can confuse your mind and your triggers?
Youāre in my prayers buddy.
I pray God will will give you the strength to knock this one down. Amen.

Day 29 without alcohol / Day 275 without cannabis
Just a quick check in to say Iām good, sober, and feeling good about being sober today! Trying to find something simple to celebrate everyday, and being alcohol free these days seems to always provide something to acknowledge and take joy in

Mhm, like Eric said I read that part of your post as drinking still being held at high value. As if itās something that people on vacation are privileged to do, of course they will be having a drink they are on vacation. That is our diseased mind that sees it as thatā¦ there is no āof courseā or ādrinking fits with this activityā that is just how we see it. Nobody else sees it that wayā¦ people go on vacations all the time and donāt drink at all or are away for two weeks and on that whole two week vacation share ONE bottle of wine at a dinnerā¦ ONE shared in two weeks.
I am sorry that you have slipped again, if you tell yourself you canāt do this you will never be able to do it. You need to believe that it is possible, you need to see your sickness for what it isā¦ that you are viewing alcohol through rose colored glasses still, as it ruins your life. This is the insanity of our diseaseā¦ we put poison in our body knowingly and we suffer knowing what we need to do to stop it.
There are some pretty simple ways to get through this, you just need to be willing to put the work in. Itās not going to go away on its own.

Day 127.
6.34am.
Last day of winter!! 
Last day of winter woo hooooo!!! 
Yesterday I could literally smell the Jasmin blooming in the airā¦ This warms my soul to its core
I had an Interesting morning yesterday. It was literally straight out of an episode of the regular show 
Iām sure some of yāall are familiar with the regular show?
So basically I was doing my thing down at the park, hanging with the cockatoos. We were having a lovely time , till a park ranger approaches me and proceeded to make small talk about how he had never seen the cockatoos sit on anyoneās shoulders/arms they friendly way they were with meā¦
Thennnnn he proceed to tell me he did not come over here to āfine meā but Iām best not to feed them again etcā¦ He gave me a cautionary warning and walked off all smug with his coffee in handā¦
This park ranger was on his own. He did not need to do what he did, yet be proceeded to be a d%&k and talk to me with his regular show park ranger bs lolā¦ Such a mood killer and just not nice really.
Telling someone they canāt feed WILD cockatoos.
No one owns them. They can eat from who ever they please.
I think the ranger had small man syndrome. He was short and moody
Anyway so that was yesterdayā¦ The regular show come to life
Normally I would of been triggered being tested like that, but my mood stayed rosey
No urges or cravings

Checking in rested and not hungover. Weird how strong I can feel at home then as I walk into work, am overcome with anxiety and doubt. Love that my muscle memory kicks in and I get throughā¦ but hate the initial game time jitters. So grateful to not be hungover, like really, really, really, really, really, really grateful. 22 days and canāt wait to make it 23.

- Checking in as Iām taking a break from packing. Exhaustedā¦we have to be out of our townhouse tomorrow. Weāre moving in with my parents for a couple weeks and this time not because we were evicted because I spent all our rent on drugs and not because I couldnāt do it without the help of my family. Not this time. This time itās because I worked my ass off and stayed sober for 1335 days. I worked hard enough for myself and my kids and I bought us our very first home. I have tears as Iām writing this because Iām damn proud of myself. Cleaning and boxing things up isnāt a bad thing this time. This time has a whole new meaning. This isnāt a fresh start because I got clean again. Itās a new start because Iāve stayed clean and I worked to give my kids a home of our very own. Something that was always just a dream and now itās a dream come true. So, Iāll keep working through the night to get things packed and cleaned. I close on our new house Friday and we take possession one week after closing.
SN: Im also on edge because we had a scare with my youngest son today. He was having shooting pains in his chest and because he had a pacemaker we had to go get testing done. Heās ok and resting now and weāll keep monitoring him but makes this mama nervous and on guard at all times.
For those of you struggling just know it gets better if you continue to stay sober. Have a blessed night TS fam

So my official day count is 436,
Had a productive day, my friend is a manager at a car dealership and has been lobbying me for months to come work there
I met with the manager who said dude get all your tools together, get everything ready and Iāll have you in here as soon as possible, and Iāll give you more than your making now, and keep adding on that cash every 90 days if your showing me you want to work and make strides in progress, he has apparently big plans for me, wants me to be a top producer at top pay by the end of the year
Top pay for auto techs here is around 45/hr. Iāll take it

Thank you Eric, I am so excited! I have been so busy and havenāt been on much but Iām still sober and come on and read what everyone is up to but thatās usually when Im heading to bed and almost asleep. Buying a house is no joke Iāve had to do so much but itās been worth it every step of the way. Hoping Iāll have more time soon as we are getting back to somewhat normal.
