You should get yourself a new raincoat. I bought myself a new one last week and some other proper outdoor clothing. Its a good investment and I definitief enjoy the outdoors more this time of the year wenn feeling warm and dry.

Doing a hike together would be fun, I think you are good company for a hike :grin::v:t2::+1:t2:

@Freckles Like TripnMN said, Only worry about today. Looking ahead can cause a lot of undue stress and make it difficult to manage your expectations. Some people have to start with minutes and hours. Slow and steady is the most advantageous way to handle this. Glad youā€™re still here and trying.

@TigerMatriarch 55! ā€œTherefore, angel number 55 may be seen as a sign that it is time to let go of those things and situations that are no longer serving you and allow the changes that are manifesting to usher into a new phase in your life.ā€ Whoop!

Day 13. TLC meeting in a 1/2 hour. Kiddo is off to work, wasnā€™t supposed to work today and we have tickets to the symphony. They have live symphony playing along side Harry Potter movies. Kiddo isnā€™t supposed to be scheduled on Sundays, due to social engagements, but was. So, we wait until a manager decides if itā€™s OK for an early dismissal. I try to explain how menial these things are in the big span of life. I am only the Mom. What do I know? :smirk:

Have a good day, whatever youā€™re doing. Just do it sober

Morning checkin
Today I woke up in a panic. Was supposed to be at work for 8am and ended up waking up at 8am! Discovered that my alarm does not go off if the volume is downā€¦ odd :thinking: Anyway, I called my work and then got ready and Iā€™m heading there now. Normally, this would start my day off in a funk and Iā€™d carry around that negative energy all day, but Iā€™m not doing that. I feel great actually lol idk. I really have to watch my state of mind bcuz Iā€™ve learned that relapse doesnā€™t just happenā€¦ its usually a string of events that occur before the relapse. So keeping my emotions and thoughts in check will help! Anyway, I saw this on fb. I quite like it! Thought it might be helpful for some. Have a great day/evening everyone :grinning:

Checking in and feeling good today, so glad to be home and had a great sleep in my own bed. Struggling a bit with angry sinuses but migraine is gone (fingers crossed!) so this discomfort is manageable. My sinuses and my plants will appreciate the humidifier running all day.

I had a great visit home. There is no doubt about that. But (yes, there is a but) I struggled with feeling like I just wasnā€™t 100% - and Iā€™m talking recovery-wise. I felt self conscious and sensitive and like I wanted to hide, and I felt this too often. It is kind of my default at times, but this felt like too much. I think what I was recognizing was a trigger. And Iā€™m not going to go into the nitty gritty psychology of it all, because itā€™s nothing extraordinary or unusual, but I guess it was just another reminder that I have more work to do. And Iā€™m not feeling as bad about that today.

Sending strong sober vibes your way, amigos. :heartpulse:

Check in two on Day 13. Kiddo gets off early!! Yay! Symphony and The Goblet of Fire, here we come!

Great meeting. Feeling strong. Feeling committed to a healthy life, devoid of alcohol. I am a little weirded out that the voice hasnā€™t been speaking to me on this go 'round. Itā€™s unnerving. I am filling up a damned arsenal, just in case.
