Checking in on Day 4. Wasn’t feeling that well yesterday, and today tested positive for covid. At least I know I have given myself a chance of getting rid quickly. I am fully vaccinated, and 60 days AF has done my body so nuch good. Would have been really stressing about that before, and whether I could drink with covid 
Feeling pretty rubbish right now but taken the afternoon off and going to nap now.
Hope everyone has a good day. Congratulations on Day 30 @felipeandrews
Hey all, checking in on day 667. I hope everybody has a great one!
Day 669 clean and sober today. Opened up to a co worker yesterday about how I’ve been feeling at work with all the toxicity and they have been going through it as well. Good to know that what I’ve been feeling is valid and am glad I’m doing the right thing for myself. The only thing I don’t like about sharing my personal stuff at work is that it opens things up for their opinions on what I should do which in turn creates doubt in my mind even though I was confident with my decisions. I really just needed to vent, I was not looking for advice lol. Lesson here for me to learn is that I best keep things to myself and know I’ll figure it out in the short or long run. Action is better than no action. Going today to fill out paperwork and do the drug testing etc. for the new job. Huge change but I’m going for it. Felt so worn out emotionally and mentally from work yesterday that after the gym I passed out in my recliner lmao. Felt better when I woke up for sure. Have an amazing day everyone, love you guys! 
Checking in on a gorgeous 339th day of sobriety. I took this pic this morning while waiting with my daughter for her school bus. I love how our neighborhood looks at the (hopeful) end of the constant spring rains. Have a great day everyone. It’s a great day to be above ground and sober.
Hi Kat here checking in on Day 251 clean and sober.
Day 1 no nail biting
Hello folks I am doing well went to my Healthcare Professionals meeting last night. Nearly every week we have a new nurse or doctor with a substance abuse problem (most commonly alcohol) joining. Aagh what is happening to our profession. I started using at work due to PTSD and stress is another common cause mentioned in our group.
I sorta decided today that it might be time to tackle my lifelong nail-biting problem. This will be difficult as after 40 years it’s a bit of an unconscious behavior. However, I should keep my eye on the goal which is to be able to have a manicure for the first time and look nice. I am anxious about taking on this habit but know I have support here. Prayers for God to help me.
Love and support to you all,
Kat
Wow! Amazing!!! So happy for you:tada:
Beautiful photo. I love those little moments.
Oh I sure hope you feel better soon. Hope you can rest and stay super hydrated. One of my close friends has covid right now and she’s not feeling too badly. Hopefully it will pass quickly. Your right, having all those sober days will probably really help your body stay strong and fight off the virus. 
@Mno Enjoy your holidays! Sounds like it will super memorable and so much fun!! Wishing u alot of luck on ur interview also!
@kat261 good luck with ur quitting nail biting. I udwd to bite my nails as a child and they do have this nail biting nail polish (it’s clear but it tastes awful). It is very much a unconscious behavior and often is done without even realizing. So when u taste the bad taste, it sort of jolts u to realize “oh I’m biting my nails again”. Just thot id mention it 
@dansig thise trees are gorgeous! Almost too perfect! Thanks for the pic!
@JennyH really hope u feel better soon!
@liv_m Way to go on quitting weed too Mel! U got this for sure!!
@bomdhil Congratulations on 1 week!!! Yay
@soberwalker hope ur appt goes well. I’m sure this will be a HUGE relief getting this taken care of. Also, fabulous shoes!!! A wee bit jealous over here 
@felipeandrews a HUGE congratulations on ur 1 month!!! Keep at it!!
Don’t let their beauty fool ya. They’re very nice to look at for a couple of weeks, then as the white flowers die off and green leaves come in they smell like rotting fish for a couple of weeks haha.
I woke this morning to a beautiful snowstorm outside. I’m ready for Spring, but I do love snow, so I’m claiming this day as a gift from Nature for how well I’m doing. On to the next 8 months. 
It’s wonderful to see so many milestones above! Y’all keep on keeping on! 
This is so so true!!!
Sometimes I ask myself “why am I not feeling absolutely stressed about work?”. I feel like I must be missing something that I’m supposed to be doing because I almost feel like I should be stressed. I’m doing the same workload and I’m planning the same routines but things just don’t seem as stressful. It’s because I’m not drinking. I totally used to think that the workload was making me stressed and making me drink but it was absolutely the other way around.
@Butterflymoonwoman thank you so much for the support and suggestion! Yes I’ll definitely get some of that because I’ve just caught myself nail biting twice in the last 10 minutes! Grr. Well, progress. However the taste of that nail stuff would remind me right away to keep my fingers out of my mouth. Thank you!!
Congratulations on 8 months!!! You’re doing amazing and you help to inspire me with all that you share…the ups and the downs and the strength of the human spirit.
Check in
Day 57
Woke up at 530am today and in a good mood! Worked out! Did mainly legs today and some bike. Feeling good actually! Tmrw morning I will be letting myself sleep in until 6am,and then will do a meditation intead of exercise. I’m trying to find/keep balance lol… so 3x a week for actually exercise at the gym, 2x a week for morning meditation. Weekends I work so I have a diff routine then. But today I have 1 appt at 11am, some cleaning, and some dreamcatcher making to do. Not going out today. It’s going to just be a relaxing day I think. Hope everyone is doing well and has an addiction free day!!!
Good morning everyone. Checking in day 235. Had a good meditation this morning. Still not sure if I’m doing it right but I’m doing ti! 
. Took advantage of the beautiful weather yesterday and got a lot of work done before three days of rain, but right after that is 60’s and sunshine so I cannot wait! Finished up a few papers this morning now off to either play some guitar or do a little woods working project I have going on. Take care all and stay safe.
What?! No way!! How interesting and gross at the same time 
Ur welcome! It just is sort of a reminder that nail biting is happening cuz like u said, most people do it without even knowing they are doing it. Hope ur day goes well lady 
Way to go on 8 months!!! I’m so super excited for u
