I’m ok today I guess. Feeling slightly sick but I think it’s because of my new piercing. I have a weak immune system so getting any new tattoos leaves me exhausted and kinda sick for a few days. I’m assuming it’s the same for piercings.

Starting to feel like I’m in for a rough night, but I’m trying to plan to talk to my friend tonight so I’m not alone. That’s all for today. Love you guys

Checking in on Day 8. Today I went back to work to get cleared to return tomorrow and I’ll be starting my new position woohoo! :grimacing:. My whole life will take a turn I used to work 3-11pm now I will be working 7am-3pm. I’m excited for the new shift, I think I can have a better work/ life balance. Emotionally I’m feeling okay today … I’m talking about my feelings and being honest with others and myself. Tonight I’m going to prepare breakfast for tomorrow so I can heat it up in the morning and save myself some time. I’m also going to catch an online meeting once I lay myself down. Thank you all for being supportive, relapse is hard and while I feel bad about it my higher power is showing me that things will be okay if I do the things I need to do and stay focused and sober. This daily check in is such a blessing and so are all of you :heart:.

Back to day 2. Suicidal ideation and a negative internal dialogue is strong. I stung 30days together in january and felt joy again. Hoping to do it again.

@Butterflymoonwoman You’re completely right about overthinking being exhausting! I’m wearing myself out just sitting here!

So, I filled out the paperwork for the new job, because getting paid is awesome and stuff, but I’m still a little worried about transportation. I got a ride for Wednesday, my first day, but I’m on my own after that. Trying to have faith that I’m doing the right thing, but I still want a beer. Seriously, part of my brain’s been trying to talk me into it all day long. :frowning:

I ended up going with the fk irons Spectra flux. It just has amazing reviews in colour, black and grey and lining. It’s really cool you can hook it up to a app and hover power, and bunch of other stuff. I really wanted the Valhalla but, you it’s not wireless you need to hook up to a amp and have a cord hanging and constantly have to reach over to shut the machine on and off. You can order battery packs for it but alot of reviews day the battery creates unbalance and alot of pain in the hand after a long day of use. The flux was way over priced but idc this is seriously all I think about every day it’s my passion so it will be worth it, may 21 will be one whole year of tattooing, but alot of that I was doing drugs, I feel this last 5 months of sobriety has been my best tattooing experience so far. Sorry for this long ramble :rofl:

Stay focused my friend. Don’t let that demon win! It’s natural to feel worried and overwhelmed, but trust that it will work out. If u drink things all go downhill… real fast. This great opportunity thats in front u could disappear. Dont give ur addiction that satisfaction hugs
