So sorry for your loss, sending love and support. Just wanted to say props to you for finding your strength in this challenging time in your life. It says a lot about you as a person when you are doing so much, and keeping yourself in a clear state as well when others might crumble. Take care of yourself; and my condolences to your family

Such beauty in these pictures and being mindfully present as we walk. Not always easy in early recovery yet gets easier along the way…

Tonight will hopefully be day 57 of no self harm.
I’m not sure why I’m struggling so much lately. I’m just wearing thin I guess. It’s the most helpless feeling to live with people I know don’t support me or anything I do. I can’t get a job I’m trying so hard. I told myself at the start of this year if I don’t have a job by my birthday (June 21st) I’d pack and leave. Even though I have nowhere to go. Sometimes it feels like being homeless would be better than living here. I know that’s not realistic though. I barely take care of myself as is.
I have a job interview Tuesday. This is the only interview I’ve gotten and I’ve been looking for a job since October. If I don’t get this job I don’t know what I’m going to do. I just don’t know how much longer I can take this.
Something positive: I know I have people who support me. Even if they’re not anywhere near me.

Checking in
Day 72
Have been busy working on my cake order. Lots of prep work. Got my double batch of raspberry buttercream made. Made some homemade fondant just now. And I’m super proud of myself right now bcuz I made my own edible cake lace mix and made some “lace” for a decoration I need. It’s not perfect but dor my 1st try… im super happy with it!
Now to cover and decorate the cake board. And make some more fondant of another color!
Literally trying to make sure that I take breaks bcuz I often forget to do anything else when I’m busy with my cakes. So making sure I take care of me while doing all this is important. Reduces urges to use

Always here for you, when i feel like giving up, and the struggle is digging deep into my mind about picking up, i tell my self ok if im going to do it come on here for an hour and see how i feel after, it really helps me maybe can you too.
What got me through 8 yrs sober previously when i had bad cravings id tell myself
“ok if i think im ok to drink, and i think i dont have a problem, if i think i can drink normally, i should be able to wait to have that drink until tomorrow”
When tomorow comes i tell myself that again if im still feeling bad cravings. But it got me through that struggle that day. It helped me get through 8 yrs.
Your find what works for you, im here today standing with you not drinking 
Dont be too hard on yourself.

I really feel for you but don’t take it too hard. It has happened and now look ahead. Take your learning moments from your relapse and think okay I won’t do it like that anymore. I’m doing better this time because I’ve learned something new. You can do it. Okay, you have to count again, but that goes faster than you think if you do it right on all facets. Can I help you? I have a really good signaling plan or signs plan that I can fall back on when I see the signs. With every sign I know exactly what to do and if I can’t figure it out myself, the plan says who to call. You have to make agreements about this in advance. I can send a sample if you want?

How did it go?
Did you get to do PoGo community day earlier this month?
I hope your thrush gets better quickly. That stuff is no fun.

Thank you!! Picked up an application for a place today. They said there’s no current openings so onto a list we go I suppose. Gonna try and buy some more time from the landlord here in the meantime. Many headaches, but at least not from vodka!
