I totally understand about the job. Do what makes you happy. I’ll be here cheering you along.
Don’t be too hard on yourself. Start the rest for binge eating and move forward.

- Yesterday my brother and his wife came and picked up all the kids since we were cleared from quarantine. Myself and my kids had a nice quiet day at home. I slept on the couch for over 3 hours. (Still having kidney stone pain) woke up and my daughter went and got take out and we all watch tv together. It was great. I slept alone for the first time ever in our new home. Usually one of the twinkies crawls in bed with me and at some point there are both of them. It was a nice break. I am up having coffee in silence…lol! This was a much needed break kids can all go back to daycare and we can get back into our routine…yay! I find my nieces and nephew do great when they have a routine. The chaos they lived in before gave them no routine. Still haven’t heard a word from their Mom either. She’s checked in with them 2x’s since I’ve had them and it’s been almost 2 months. I pray for her everyday. I know she needs help for her mental health but she says she’s doing it and never does or she get the help and never follows through. It make me so sad. But, I will continue to care for my sweet nieces and nephew because I love them and they deserve a stable home.
I have a CT scheduled for the kidney stones and I pray we can get them out some how the pain is overwhelming sometimes. I use heating pads and Motrin and that helps. But it when it doesn’t help is the problem. But, I keep pushing on. I’ve finally got to check out the Netflix series Maid and I’m hooked. LOL also started watching the series overdose on Hulu. It’s not triggering for me I find them very interesting. Anyhow, I’m going to finish my coffee here in silence and get ready for the babes to get home. Have a wonderful Sober Sunday TS fam

Hope you feel better soon. Being sick really sucks. Nice mix of vitamins. I know someone who had some kind of IV vitamin C treatment and they said it did amazing things for them. I’m almost curious enough to give it a try. 
Adding vitamin B12 might help too. Best of luck.

Day 59. Next chip tomorrow but I’m still struggling with being proud or excited about it because the shame I also feel fights with the pride inside myself. How can I be proud of quitting something that I shouldn’t have been doing anyway…?

I’m super proud of myself. Yesterday my kids wanted to go to our traditional favorite grill which also happens to be mine and my partner’s normal drinking location. I didn’t even feel tempted! The waitress immediately brought out my drink of choice and I thanked her and explained I wasn’t drinking anymore. Then we were invited to cover for some friends in their bowling league where again, I was fine not drinking. I had water and a soda. Lastly, the group we bowled with invited us to dinner after and we accepted and then found out we were going to a Gastropub. It was an interesting evening, but here I am day 20!

Because you’re doing it Kimberley! Be proud! Some shame is logical, I know. Just as long as you know pride wins out big time. Not related to drugs and drink, but still: I came out as gay (or whatever I am exactly, not straight as a nail anyway) when I was about 30 years old. Still a bit ashamed it took me so long. But overwhelmingly proud and happy about it ever since.

Yes I love them too, since my childhood one of my favorites animals. I really like to study there behavior.
There is an organic cow farm on the hiking route… the cows roam free with their calves. I was lucky to meet them.

Great to hear from you @anon9289869 and congratulations on triple fours! I am glad that your bike trip went so well! It’s a beautiful time of year for it.
@Misokatsu I hope tomorrow is a brighter day and that your head feels better!
@Complicatedmama, kidney stones are awful. My brother recently had some, and it is a nightmare. I hope the CT goes well and you get a path to a speedy recovery!
Glad you are feeling a little better @zzz. I wish you continued convalescence!
Way to go on 20 days @MaggieDoe! Keep up the great work!
Checking in on day 128, which is a nice power of two. Today is Ms. Icebear’s birthday, so I will make her favorite apple cake. Let’s hope it turns out OK Wishing everyone a happy sober day or night!

Sure his pain, but what about yours?
Our addicts are cunning.
I agree it would be nice to have him come to you for some support. What an absolutely awful existance he has been living in, his soul must be crushed, my heart goes out to him. I am glad you came to post and shed some light on your addicts “plan” , shedding light on that darkness takes its power away.

Strange thing that your own mind is who you battle with ay. My brother said he’s fine now and has gotten away from this guy. He said it’s really messed him up with trust issues which I can understand.
I just said look bro, their are wonderful people out there, you just have to be careful whilst you find them.

Checking in after a lovely sober adventure camping! It went super, Miss Lupe was a trooper and we all stayed as warm as we could in our summer tent (not insulated at all) and pile of warm blankets. It got down to 36 or 37F/roughly 2.2-2.7 C! My feet and my nose froze but otherwise not too bad! We did have some resident cattle mooing alllllll night long, honkers at the lake and flying over, and a pack of coyotes singing the songs of their people 
But Lupe didn’t flinch, cozy under the blankets, and Eric and I managed to get “enough” sleep. What a fun trip, beautiful hikes, and a big campfire and good conversation. I’ll post some more photos around different threads later. It was our first sober camping trip together and that is quite the milestone in our life together.
I can’t help it - @icebear Drew you sound like my husband, commenting on powers!

433 days no alcohol.
401 days no cocaine.
1 day no binge-eating.
Feeling a bit better and my stomach pains have gone. Haven’t had the energy to get out of bed much today so I’ve been looking at memes, I even needed a nap this afternoon and did so for 90mins!
I am having cravings for a take-away but poverty is protecting me. I need the money I’ve got leftover for the month for Diesel and the cat’s biscuits and litter.
I hope you’ve all had wonderful sober weekends
