Oh yes and the 17km cross country relay run from Kuranda to Port Douglas (64km total) on sunday went well, was super exhausted as the selfie showed but surprisingly fun and liberating afterwards, was small talk motivating several others who were doing the full 64km monty the poor buggers, and their energy boost from me pushed me on somehow too haha things like that are nice. It’s not about being fit, most aren’t and walk much too, so I’d recommend it as a personal achievement thing to try for yourself once… (start with a half marathon and don’t worry 
)

Hope you’re home w your own bed and Luna!
Have you ever heard people say the saying “We will always have Paris” or always have some wonderful experience Theyve had. Well, you will “ always have your sobriety” and it will help you get through these life blips. Sounds like you did ok considering what you’ve gone through. Hope you’ll be well stabilized and be Rt back in the good place where you were. Hugs

All I know about drinking celery juice was when Joe in the Netflix series “You” drank it. It wasn’t pretty 
I could munch on it all day though

Checking in 365 days AF!
I did not acknowledge the mark or mention it to anyone. I stayed late at work and got some work done to my car. I came home to a shit show, had to discipline my son. A average day at best.
But, last week I jumped the gun, and splurged on a new TV as a 1 year gift to myself. As my son says, “ I love buts, buts are the best!”
The first 6 months of this journey were a turbulent time. Detoxing, trying to sort out and deal with all the emotions of life and my fealings about myself.
The last 6 months, I’ve been on auto pilot. I try and keep a watchful eye out for any triggers.
Thank you all for the support you have given me here. This is my only outlet. I do not think I could have come this far without the people here. To the folks still struggling, his is worth it! I hope you find the strength to conquer your demons!

Just checking in on day 9. I’m struggling today as I have a bad cold and I’m not getting anything done and it’s reminding me of hangover days when I used to feel so rough I would get nothing done. Of course it is a virus and I know logically I can’t help it and I probably need to rest, but the dishes piling up and the toys laying around and the laundry that needs to be folded and my little one who isn’t at school yet watching too much CBeebies are giving me major guilt and anxiety. I’m going to push through & try to get things done. Wish I had someone who would make me soup, tell me to rest, and do all the things, but that isn’t going to happen & I need to put on my big girl pants! I’m annoyed that just when I should have started to feel really great, I’m hit by this. I don’t have any desire to drink, I just don’t want to be that person anymore, but I guess I have to accept that bad days happen sober too, and I need to learn how to cope with that. Alright I will stop feeling sorry for myself. Thanks for letting me vent.

Checking in on day 150. Not an official milestone but pretty cool nonetheless. Woke up early. Had coffee. Enjoying some quiet time before the kids get up. This is much better than hangovers every day.

@VisionaryKay One Day is amazing! The people with the one year + were going to be the one to help you get through your rough days! Even with years of sobriety it can be hard we all work everyday to stay sober. One day at a time is all we got! You’ve got this and we’re here to support you every step of the way! I’m proud of you for making it the first 24 it takes so much courage and strength and that my friend is the choice you made!

Day 480 clean and sober today. The big boss changed the schedule and is keeping me on day shift! Some of the people I work with will barely even talk to me now and it makes it very uncomfortable at work but f**k them, I need the money. Had a really bad dream that I got fired because of other employees complaining about me. I was sooooo mad in my dream! The one thing I took away from it was that the people at work are not my “friends” and that I need to watch what I say and stay in my own lane. Have a wonderful day today everyone, love you guys!

Hey Rob! I’m glad to hear your shifts were fixed! What a bummer that your colleagues aren’t understanding 
I hope it’ll get better on that regard, too. You have a good attitude towards it tho!
If you have a date with @Fury this week tell him I said hello, LOL
