Check in for day #655. My son and his mom have Covid (they are fine), so I have my girls with me. Been so wonderful spending time with the girls. Love being present for them. I feel as if I never used to be.
Otherwise, I know I am feeling depressed and lonely. Very hard to get motivated to do anything. If anyone is interested in messaging just to chat, I would be grateful. The isolation is feeling a bit overwhelming right now.

Day 00 no sugar.
I am starting this fucker again before it gets out of hand, and apparently I need to stay accountable. I managed to get to over 70 days sugar free before I ātreatedā myself to a hotchocolate at that NA convention thingie. Since then it has been a slippery slope and not something that I can include in my āacceptance of selfā for 2022. The similarity between sugar addiction and drugs for me is too close. It started with small sips of my daughters hotchocolates in the morning āto make sure they werenāt too hotā and progressed to rapid-fire chocolate inhalation at her birthday party a couple of days ago. No thank you!!! Sugar causes my body too much extra inflammation, hard pass.
So here I am again.

Way to go girl for starting this again! I have a huge issue with sugar alsoā¦ that and eating too many carbs (im typing this while I literally eat a strawberry pop tart for breakfast 
lol). Makes me feel awful in many ways. And my diet actually effects my cravings and increases my risk of relapse. Itās crazy how itās all intertwined.

Day 3
Feeling good for the most part this morning. Had trouble getting going tho. Did do my readings and prayer 1st thing. Then even tried to contact my old church back in Winnipeg vua fb messenger to see if they have any zoom mtgs for services or anything. This church was amazing. It was a Christian biker church. Literally all walks of life went there. I have never felt more welcome at a place of worship than I did there. And I would go there during my roughest times, addicted and still in the trade, and no one cared. Wish there was a place like this in Calgary. But maybe online would be good too! My diet is awful!!! My exercise routine is off 
can seem to get myself up in time to hit the gym. And I literally ate a pop tart and caramilk bar for breakfast with my cold brew coffee 
Not good lol. I feel gross. But going to change my day around. I will do yoga today for sure and maybe an at home workout. Other than thatā¦ it definitely feels longer than 3 days since Iāve been clean. I canāt wait to get back 25 days back and then keep going. Iām STILL beating myself up over that

Itās a energy supplement filled with caffeine and other crap for ppl who lift weights, I started using it last year when I was lifting but got addicted to it.

Day 551
Why we should stay sober: we sit with shitty feelings. We sit with shitty feelings. We sit with shitty feelings. Over and over and overā¦ Then suddenly a lightbulb goes off in our heads and we realize itās time for change. We create a plan. We get excited about our plan. We put things into motion.
We move to a place where we no longer have to sit with those particular shitty feelings. But those shitty feelings were our guide to our new place that we finally take up residence. Iām so glad to be sober to figure this all out. Itās not always easy but it guides me to where I need to be. The last few days I have been coming up with my plan and I excited about it! More on this later. 
Anywayā¦
Hope you all have a great SOBER day! 
@Its_me_Stella Happy birthday to your beautiful daughter! Your post was so beautiful. Love u.
