Checking in Day 57. Was a tough day. Between canceled flights and covid outbreaks ive been trying to solve problems since i opened my eyes today. I caught myself saying to a coworker today that i could sure use a drink after this day. Glad i said it out loud as i didnt even realize where my head was going. Shut that thought down quick. Last thing i need on top of a high demand job right now is a hangover. Feeling short fused and stuck in some negativity today. Glad i booked tomorrow off as im sure these emotions have a lot to do with tomorrow being the anniversary of lossing my mom. Im sure ill have to do some work tomorrow as the recruitment hat is still on but at least im not expected to put in a full day. Grateful my son is comi g on a road trip with me to take some flowers tomorrow. Pushing through this rough patch i am.

Good evening friends. Finishing up a successful day 429 at a meeting.
Got a lot done today. Also taking off tomorrow to make it a 4 day weekend. Looking forward to going out to breakfast tomorrow with my bride.
Even with all of my blessings and great things going on in my life, I am still feeling sad and a bit lonely. Someone who I consider a good friend has been ignoring me lately. I know I sound like a middle school girl. I’ll get over it. They are probably just busy and I’m being sensitive.

Have an awesome evening!

@Charlie_C … congrats on the BIG number. Sorry you aren’t feeling good about your friend. Did you ask if they were upset with you?

Hahahahah

I mainly never could keep it at one. Well there are glasses that are the size of a bottle of wine. Maybe then.

It took me ages that it was so simple: don’t drink the first one. No matter what.

Come here if you doubt, if you are tempted. There are people online almost all around the clock who will help when we reach out.

I needed to get some time and thinking between the automatic move: being offered and accept it. There is something happening between these actions.

  1. Had a really nice conversation yesterday with a specialist in using my own recovery in my work. Gave me some good ideas. Going to build on that. For now it’s back to day shifts. It has been a while. I’ll be fine. Just a three day work week ahead. Sober and clean.
    Have as good a day as you all can friends. Love from the Hart Mountain National Antelope Refuge, OR. Don’t know why but I was thinking about a beautiful ride through there in September 2018. The colours, the vastness, the emptiness, the quiet. Wish I was there.

@Girlinterrupted Yay you JoeBeth!!! Love both images. Hugs.

Did my Pilates class last night, did not feel like it, but went, and as expected felt energised afterwards, journalled that :slightly_smiling_face: little step in getting out of this lethargic state. Today my aim after work, is to start my “couch to 5k” app and do some hoovering and read.

Have a strong 24 hrs all :green_heart:

Back on Day one after a really indulgent festive / holiday period. ‘Treating myself’ turned into a full blown alcohol addiction. Getting through the first few days without booze has proved how physically addicted I am and iv failed a few attempts so I’m back here to allow myself the help and support

I have remembered that I have NO control over people, places, or things. I literally have done what I can at this point and now I accept this situation, I surrender to it knowing that I don’t have power over the outcome, I gave it away to my HP, I asked for inner strength to be able to handle whatever the outcome is, and now I am distracting myself by folding laundry. And i am quite frankly looking at this problem 24 hours at a time (just like addiction).
