#Day 1220 
Not in my best mood, but Iām aware of the gliding scale of it. Noticed Iām tired, not enjoying work and not motivated for walks. Thatās not good.
So today I kick myself out of my house and will go for that walk. Sometimes you just have to do it because you know that it is good for you, not because you want to do it 
So today a picture of my cat instead of nature.

No work today and was worried I would Netflix it away. Got on aa intergroup and found a ladies meeting in the morning. It really set me up for the day, and I did cleaning, baking, and grading.

I managed to get on the yoga mat this morning (day 11/30)ā¦ So there was a bit of motivation!.
I had to check what this step is āmade a searching and moral inventory of ourselvesāā¦well this is going to be interesting

Day 16 AF
Pretty crappy day where I found myself overwhelmed on quite a few occasions due to a few different factors. Fought the urge of wanting to throw my arms up in the air and surrender and stayed sober. Hope you all have a great weekend.

Day 276ā¦
Sober thingsā¦
Today I spent $150 on moving boxes and moving packing equipment. Iāve never felt more stable in my life 
The last ten years, I have lost count of the amount of times Iād not been organised to move and had been removed from my properties by police with warrants at 7am bashing my door down.
But today, I have upped my Sober adulting game and actually got organised to move, 12 days prior to my moving dateā¦ I actually paid $150 for new boxes and equipment and Iām going to be all organised for my big move.
Me?? Organised to move?? Never has happened in my using life of the last decade!
Iāve actually lost Count of the amount of properties Iāve been removed from by the police with warrants , and in turn I ended up loosing all my possessions and everything I owned, multiple times overā¦ it became a normal thing after a while. It was most expected to happenā¦ when I think back to the life I lived for a decade, it blows my mind how deeply addiction can destroy your life.
But on this day, I am proud to say, never againā¦
Iām finally back to being a function adult again who pays for her moving boxes in advance and actually moves house out of choice

ā¦1400 days. Every once in awhile, a number makes a dent on me. This one has me remembering how horribly hard it was in the beginning.
The day I quit drinking, I wasnāt magically cured, the fog of alcoholism still affected my thinking, I was still in the grasp of its insanity. I was lucky 1400 days agoā¦people on here realized this and kept with me, kept cheering me onā¦so I would stay sober. Stay sober long enough for the insanity to lift, and I could make changes. At day 90 I walked into AAā¦that was a huge step. I guess I was a hard case. I wasnāt one of those that AAs presence in my life made an immediate impact. The gentlemen around those first tables could see. They cheered me on and supported me. They knew that if I kept sober long enoughā¦the insanity would go and I would be open.
1400, to meā¦is about the kindness I was shown in the beginning. Itās about the struggle to leave a life behind and make a new one.
Stay sober! Be kind!

I was listening to an NPR podcast yesterday on addiction. It was focusing pretty heavy on the 101,000 people that died in the US last year from overdoses.
One stat they mentioned that brought hope though was that 75% of people do recover from their addictions.
To your point, we do recover.
