Hi Kat here checking in Day 254 from meth pills.
Working this morning but have the weekend off to care for my 3 youngest kids who I miss a whole bunch. Went to a meeting last night which was somebody’s 4 years which was awesome. Did call my sponsor yesterday to chat but she was driving, I saw her at the meeting.
One thing I did not do was go to the gym and I had been doing so well. Well, Monday Wed and Fri I will go next week.
@Butterflymoonwoman 60!!! Yeah!
Congratulations!!! 
Congrats on great work! Is it not Just a amazing feeling. Keep at it! 
Checking in - Day 32
Today, I decided to work from home. Slept in and bought a coffee and lemonade tea for my sweetheart. I’m going to work on a presentation for an upcoming conference and I actually have a video interview this afternoon. Keep me in your prayers that God opens a door for me.
Probably going to the record store this late afternoon

Congratulations Dana heck yeah!!! 
Wow that’s amazing! You’re doing so well. Such a lot of ups and downs but I’m so glad you’re here to share. You are one of the first ones to welcome me here and I’m so grateful to be a part of this amazing community was such amazing beautiful people. I’m so proud of you!
Day 149
Just checking in. Have a great day
Checking in 5.3 years sober. I am finally on Step 9: “Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.” My sponsor is having me do a living amends to myself for negative self talk that causes me harm. I will also do an amends to my older brother for drunk-texting him back when I was drinking. The gist of it was that he used to pick on me when I was growing up and this caused me a lot of issues later in life, like lack of self-confidence, that I felt kept me from achieving what I wanted. I blamed him in my texts - so I owe him an apology. He is a good brother now!

About to leave for Los Angels for a concert with my wife tonight. Then, tomorrow morning we fly to Cabo for a week. Non of this would have been possible if I wasn’t clean.
PS Happy 4th Sober Date to someone pretty freaking awesome. Thank you for always giving me someone to chase. 
Wow, huge huge congratulations, I’m so pleased for you, you deserve to celebrate, you’ve totally earned it.

1563 Wanted to do a quick check-in. I’m so excited to prepare Easter for the kids this year. The twins and the baby don’t know what the Easter Bunny is, so I’ve had a blast shopping for baskets and treats!
So tired. So tired. Trying to figure out what to do next.
Day 41.
Unexpected trigger at a grocery store i havent been to since i got sober. Id usually pick up some cider and wine. I walked through that aisle and got a non alcoholic soda. I got coffee and a frozen tiramisu.
The frozen food i got has clearly been thawed and put back in so i might have to call and get a replacement??? I dont even know what to do about that, it hasnt happened before.
Very overwhelmed so i might sit and commit to at least finishing art. Sold a piece i loved to a friend for a little less than it was worth.
Right back at ya Dana. Great for you. So happy to see this.
Have a wonderful Easter weekend
I’m sorry to read that you’re feeling overwhelmed. I simply don’t go down those aisles at a market. Even at 8 months sober, it’s like I’m teasing myself to see what I’ll do. Know that these triggers become easier to manage, and happen a lot less, the longer you stay sober. Sending you hugs and strength. 
Great job on 41 days!
Thinking of you❤️ it must be hard when the grocery stores sell alcohol. We only have one grocery store around that sells wine but most don’t.
How frustrating about the frozen food!!!
I hope you are feeling less overwhelmed. Did you end up doing some art?
Totally teared up. So true… Thanks for sharing❤️
That is amazing! Its shocking how much money we all have saved! Congrats again!!
Hello guys. Just checking in day 33
@Butterflymoonwoman Hey dana, congrats on reaching 2 months. You are doing great and soon you will see yourself reaching 3 months and so on. Great work.
