He thinks he is slickā¦ Little does he know.
Well God bless you on running or managing a sober home. Thatās great!
I just moved into mine on December 15th and Iām so grateful and blessed.
I got to admit that I have no desire or urges to use just yet and I know attacks are always waiting around the corner.
Thanks for sharing. Itās helping me too.
God bless.

Iām happy to oblige.
Keep up your great work.
When I quit smoking I kept a nice thick McDonalds straw in my mouth and sucked in fresh air when it hit me. And I had some worry beads in my pocket to play with. It really help.
Iām glad the sober house is running well. Good for you.

months Megan! 
Checking in for today.
Yesterday I had my first night shift after 2 weeks of holiday and my relapse.
The first 2 hours where horrible, due to excessive anxiety and worry for making an stupid mistake due to my mental state after the relapse. I manage to stay calm and just did wat I have learnt. After those 2 hours I noticed that this was just an other day at the office and started to enjoy.
This morning I received a email from my manager that he appreciated that I was already back at the job and for only called in sick for 2 days. It felt like an compliment. 
After reading this I feel guilty again, if he knew the real reason I called in sickā¦. 
I am gone enjoy the spare hours I have this afternoon in the outdoors before going to work.
Today I am not gone drink. Just for today.
Have a nice day my friends

Officially at day 2 today (forgot the timer starts at 0 which was new years day!)
Having alot of bad dreams so not slept to well. This is quite common at the start for me so i know it will improve. Feeling quite lethargic and anxious again normal for day 2 for me i dont normally start feeling much energy until i get a few days in and then its generally a rollercoaster of up and downs.
I take it each day so today is a self care relax day as my body is recovering and i need to so got myself a nice herbal tea (lemon and ginger), sorted my dogs so they have already gone back to sleep 
and putting on a crime drama! Love something that i can fully engage in. Will likely nap at some point also!
Have a great day everyone

Making the most of last day off. Had a wonderful 24 hrs at the beach walked loads, ate watched films and read in van blissful.
Off to a Pilaties class at noon, and will do some chores and make something nice for dinner, pottering around house day.
Wishing @everyone a sober strong 24 hrs

- Coffee after some delay. I threw the first pot I made all through the kitchen when I forgot that I already had cooked it. And just grabbed it. My reflexes are OK as I didnāt burn my hand. It took me some time to clear the mess though.
Anyway. Iām sober and clean. Just one more late shift to go. Last night I really had it with work. 7 days of work in 8 days is too much for me. Thank god I donāt drink or drug. Thank god I donāt think I need an escape by numbing myself.
Never again. Life is not easy, also not sober, but it is much better. Have as good a first week of 2022 as you can all. Make it clean and sober. It helps so much. Love from my kitchen.

When I called in sick for the same class two weeks running, I had several colleagues and even students express concern. I felt so guilty and fraudulent. The best amends is changed behaviour.

ā¦1382. Started a new tradition with Ms. Monkey. We have a jar and we are going to write down the little things that happened each day that made us happy, or giggle. We will read them on New Yearās eve. Life is made up of great little moments, just our way to remember the little things.
Started reading a book I think called The Obesity code. Just started it. But it has grabbed my attention. It has drawn parallels to alcoholism. So far it has grabbed my attention

Back again. Got past day 5 with no alcohol. Easier this time as medically I have to. I had surgery Thursday and canāt drink with the meds Iām on. It also helps that my sister is staying with me. I have much better control when Iām around others. I struggle when Iām bored and lonely. Hopefully I can keep this going.
