DAY 58
Honestly today was sooo much better in a number of ways.
- Had 3 crazy hectic appts, dealing with loads of people and noise. I prepared myself before I left the home and just asked for my HPs guidance thruout the day. I actually did do an aura cleansing and protecting meditation suggested by Mel @liv_m. I felt slightly different after doing it and I think it helped along with my HP! Will definitly be doing more of those in the future! Thanks Mel!
- Ate better and made better eating decisions. Fought an urge to overeat. Checked in on the weight loss thread so I wonāt go into that here. I even downloaded a couple of books from my library to read.
- Kicked ass at another day clean and sober! No urges to use at all! Feeling good!
Thank u everyone who was sooo supportive today (I think I responded to everyoneā¦ I hope I did). Congratulations to everyone who is celebrating milestones or just even getting thru another day! Each day is truly a milestone in my opinion

U got this!!! Truly u do! Keep doing what uv been doing everyday to get to this point. Maybe take the pressure off of the whole 6th month mark, and view it as just another day? It helped me in the past for certain clean time dates that I kept screwing up on. If I viewed it as just another day, before u know it, that day had passed and I was still on track! u got this!

I donāt think you know how much you are cared for around here, Dana.
I was certainly looking for your posts even when I wasnāt contributing, and willing you to succeed - and Iām sure that lots of other people were too. Lots of people responded in lots of detail because they care about you. You may find that difficult to accept because your humility runs deep (another reason people like you), but take it from me, itās true.
Take care.

Milestones can be really tough. I know personally i always thought i should be farther or feel better when Iād hit one. Looking back now i realise i was farther and i did feel way better. I know that i could fall tomorrow, itās possible, but thereās no fucking way Iāll fall today. Keep on ODAAT

Day 623
Called out sick from work yesterday. Made it through 3 hours of work today before my internet went down so ended up calling out the rest of the day. Still not sure if Iām sick or itās just allergies but Iām starting to feel better. My dad took vacation time this week starting today so we hung out and watched movies all day.

Coffee. Last but one therapy day. First day of the rest of my life.
Two weeks ago I wrote my first application letter in 6 years. On Tuesday I had my first interview in 6 years too. Yesterday I worked half a day in the place I applied for. Yesterday afternoon I got a call I was hired. Pending a talk with HR about salary and other conditions I will go and work as senior nurse in a detox clinic, in a job and a place that I feel are close to perfect for me at this point in my life.
Just like that. Iām still a bit dazed about how easy it was. Is this what I procrastinated over for years? One of the things addiction did to me is make me freeze myself. It turned off my whole life. Not just my emotions, everything. I was frozen, locked up inside myself, inside my anxiety. Not able to move a finger.
Sobriety gave me back my ability to move. Or was it therapy? Or is it simply growing a bit older and maybe a little bit wiser? Iām pretty sure it is a combination of all these things and more. Itās called recovery, but for myself I call it discovery. Itās a beautiful road Iām on.
And I got you all to thank for it my friends. I could never do this on my own. Nobody can. Iām so glad weāre all here together because thatās how itās done. One day at a time. Weāll see about tomorrow when it comes but for now letās make today as good a day as we all can. Sober and clean. Much much love.
The pic is from sunset last night, the view from my bedroom window. First time I noticed our small local bats were back out, flapping around after their hibernation. Such a lovely quiet little scene. Love 'm.
@Dan531 Welcome to the 900 club Dan! Awesome work friend. Huge congrats.

Yay, well done!
This resonates deeply. Since sobriety I have to check the date and think about my age so much more often. I feel like I ālostā years. I know there was good and learning in those years but it is almost like I just woke up.
Congratulations on seizing your new opportunity! Spitting pearls like these 
you are going to help a lot of people. Thanks for sharing and I wish you the best.
