Day 15. I am wiped out. Up at 5am this morning to drive down to Kansas City to tour the art college. Tired but it’s so much easier to be tired than tired AND hungover. We had a great but very short trip, 3 hours down, 2 hour tour, 1 hour lunch, 3 hours back. I really hope kiddo chooses KCAI. !. It’s closer 2. I think the vibe fits better. I really liked the campus and the “feel.” It felt right for my kiddo. But I am only the Mom. 🤔 Chicago is known as the best but I really don’t think downtown Chicago will work for my introverted, anxiety-ridden pal. We’ll see.

Checking in sober. Feeling a bit isolated today but I know that tomorrow will be a bit more interactive. I’m looking forward to a break in the workday tomorrow to go to the gym, get a flu shot and see my mom.

My one month sober ( in two days) present to myself. I bought her used. 💛

I’m feeling a bit down tonight but excited to start lessons next week. I’ve downloaded a couple of lessons I can follow along with on my own. I can’t wait a whole week. But it feels nice to have something to look forward too.

Sending love to anyone who needs a little extra tonight.

❤

What freed me from using was to pray on my knees every night before bed. Asking My Higher Power to keep alcohol and drugs away from me. And it s amazing to realise that it worked straight away…My dealers don’t contact me anymore, although they used to call or knock at my door when I was silent for a week or so. Now if I think about alcohol during the day it’s never to the point where I would decide to go and buy some. Most importantly, i don’t want to go back to that miserable life I use to have when getting stoned was my only interest in life.  
Pray my friend. Pray until you get what you ve prayed for ❤🙏🏾❤ God as you understand It, Loves you more than you love Thyself, God will come to your help if you seek for help. All the Best,
