Happy Monday!
I’m back to about 70% after the rona booster and flu shot on Saturday. No complaints because I’m glad I was able to get them, and who doesn’t need 14 hours of sleep every now and then haha.
Have a great day!

After my extreme discomfort day on Saturday with my jobsite visit, things have leveled out and are back to normal. I woke up on Sunday feeling like myself and so grateful I didn’t drink on Saturday. Feelings do pass!!
My twins are going to have a three day school week and are off on Thursday and Friday. We are leaving to go camping Friday-Sunday in the mountains with some of their school friends, whose parents are now my friends. It will be cold but I’m looking forward th the crisp mountain air.
Congrats @SoberWalker on your engagement!
Great job @LAB on 10 days, @Dansig on 6 months, and everyone else on their amazing number of days and another 24 hours sober.
Day 1791 here.

Financial stuff sucks 
I hate talking about the money we owe. Through our addiction we borrowed alot of money. I have developed a budget recently to begin paying them back (giving $1000 a month). We owe $30000. I had to make changes to my budget this month and unfortunately am only able to give $500 or so. I’m getting yelled at etc bcuz of that. I do understand why they are frustrated 
I am not going to get upset over this or ruin my day. I will continue on with my sobriety and do my best to make these amends. Just feeling anxious and nervous right now but seriously… this is triggering alot right now. I’m triggered abit to use (but not having a huge craving) but I’m triggered ALOT right now to start “working” again. I was my own boss and I made my own hours and saw who I wanted. I could get this debt down somewhat quickly but it comes at a price and I can’t do it… I just can’t. I just don’t know how to make more money when I’m so limited to my time I feel so much pressure right now.

@icebear congrats on 150 days
@Sunny11 congrats on 450 days
@Jennajen congrats on 500 days
455 days no alcohol.
423 days no cocaine.
16 days no nicotine.
1 day no binge-eating.
Struggling with cravings for caffeine, nicotine, and junk food today. Haven’t had any of it. Been distracting with a bit of TV this morning, and some memes this afternoon. Also anxious because it’s the deadline for the interviews at 23:59 tonight, so I may hear something tomorrow 
Although I am totally expecting another rejection, it’s still going to really suck when I get it. Having another attempt at my diet from today, I feel so stupid that I’m trying this again recently, because it does just seem to lead to bingeing every time, and I’m currently a stone heavier than when I started, whereas if I’d have continued on my meal plan I’d have likely still not have binged and my weight would have surely continued to decrease, and I estimate it would be around 2st lower than it is now.
I feel so stupid. It’s desperation though and I keep convincing myself I can diet without bingeing. One last try and I need to remember there are no ‘just ones’, that’s the only way it’s going to work.

Awwww thank you so much friends! @CATMANCAM @Mno @Dazercat @Tomek @Laraellelarissa @SoberWalker
500 days… Today was a good day, spent with family. Called my nurse and she said that she will of course support me through my focus issues and anxiety. Got work done. Date messaged me and said that they miss me. Definitely a good day

So glad you are back, though I would never want to guilt anyone for leaving, either. It’s a conundrum! Congratulations on your 500 days!

Checking in… went to my first in person NA meeting since I got clean this time around (almost 2 years in 3 months) and was very nervous at first. Thankfully, I went with three other recovering addicts. We got there and immediately got welcomed with hugs and my anxiety started to disappear. I definitely heard the message of recovery today through the rooms of Narcotics Anonymous. It was a 2 hour meeting but it was so worth it!!! I didn’t get my key tags because they only had one of each for each milestone … don’t know why but yeah I will when my 2 years comes up (God willing) and also I laughed a lot in the meeting. Especially at the examples of the insanity of addiction that I could relate to…well because I was absolutely insane when I was using. So yeah I am happy I went 
now I am just relaxing. Have a great day everyone!!!
