Hi Kat here checking in on Day 245.

Life is good, students here so we have lots of help at the nursing home today. Went to a meeting last night which was good, no step work got done yesterday so have to get on that tonight. Nothing changes if we donā€™t change!

Have a great clean and sober day everyone!

We miss ya. Get right back on track and keep going my friend ā˜†

Day51
Woke up late for the gym, so decided to do a meditation instead. Ate a healthy breakfast and now will spend time connecting with my HP and reflecting on what I want to accomplish today. Think Iā€™ll smudge right now too. Just feeling like I need to get rid of negative energy. Feeling sort of off but nothing serious. Going to keep it simple today. Just working on a dreamcatcher I think :slight_smile: hope everyone has an addiction free day!

Checking in on day 35.
My sonā€™s high school called today to discuss his behaviour. Itā€™s not terrible but the teacher reckoned if we tackled it now rather than wait until heā€™s getting into more serious trouble weā€™d have better success. It can be hard being a lone parent at times like these. Glad to be doing it sober though!

So itā€™s funny, i mentioned i was on Day 139, but apparently iā€™m not that good at math. When you said you were on day 139, i was like, oh i didnā€™t know we were on the same day! Which triggered me to go to a large calendar from last year and this year. Today marks 20 weeks Free for me. Your November 18th, iā€™m the 17th, so iā€™m on Day 140! Thanks!

Thank you so much! I appreciate this!
Had to reschedule to this morning at 10 but it ended up being a good exercise in flexibility and remembering that this is the nature of life and not to crumble like I think I normally would.
Not to say I wasnā€™t upset or whatever but I did some breathing and I got over it and then remembered I wasnā€™t the only person reaching out for therapy so itā€™s probably alright.

Itā€™s kind of cool when you start to figure things out. Line that. Writing on here and sharing with everyone always seems to help me figure out my triggers and certain patterns that lead me to my addictive behaviors also. Hope you had a great sleep.

#Day 1296 :partying_face:
Good news about the badā€¦
For those who remembers my tattoo debacle: the tattoo shop admits their failure.
Half of my tattoo shall be removed by laser at their costs and later on tattooed the way I want it. So it takes time but will be fixed.
Tomorrow Iā€™m going to make an appointment at a laser centre. I want it of my arm as soon as possible :hugs:
So proud of myself that I stayed sober! This gave me loads of stress and cravings. It may sound stupid, but it has.


Picture from Haarlem where I was this weekend with a friend, such a beautiful city! :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Day 33
1,5 days to go until I have 14 days off.
Iā€™ll start something new while being at home: implementing new habits.

  1. sports. Stuff that doesnā€™t stress my body too much (Hashimotos doesnā€™t like stress) like walking or low impact workout.
  2. cutting carbs as much as possible to calm my blood sugar. Craving carbs atm, I know thatā€™s no good sign.
  3. being creative again and start painting. Not on paper, digital.
  4. less doom scrolling, more reading.

Thatā€™s a lot yes. But I know that I can do this bc I already did it in the past when becoming sober the first time.

Anything is possible :facepunch:

Have a beautiful sober day team :heart:
