Checking in again as really need it today, managed to get to almost bedtime (and hit 12 days). My Dad has been admitted to hospital but it is all looking OK really, covid aside. I am hopeful it wonāt be long, and he is receiving treatment so in the best place.
My day got more stressful with various legal bits going on, very draining. I woke up with such optimism for the day.
Butā¦it was my first proper test of having to sit with really horrible feelings and I passed. I had no choice really, still feeling weak and testing positive so couldnāt get out and walk off the feelings. Just had to sit with them and resist the cravings. I made it!
I hope everyone else is having a good day

Checking in on day 109, got lots on with work and things so really stressed and tired lately but staying strong (usually it would of been to turn to alcohol). Knowing Iām dealing with things better without alcohol is keeping me on track.
Keep going all!

Well, a weird day at work as Iām waiting on legal papers from Human Resources. I decided to work from home tomorrow as I have an introductory interview at noon for the small town job in Georgia. Hmmmā¦. Iāll be prepared.
I spoke with a labor attorney today and Iām a little anxious as maybe my contract may not be so āiron proofā. Shitā¦Iāll just have to wait and see. I should have something to review on Friday. This whole thing is so stressful and weird. No word or communication from my Board of Directors so Iām just in a waiting period. Sorry about rambling and talking such business speakā¦Ugh.
Going to eat with my family and then do my AA reading and devotion for the day. Thinking of @JennyH and @Deelzebub.

Day 105 AF
Feeling fabulous about my sobriety, now trying to get other things in my life sorted. I have worked in warehousing for approximately 25 years but I would dearly love to have a job I find fulfilling. My photography is my passion and would love to somehow incorporate that. Some research to be done me thinks.

Good Morning, Day or Night everybody,
Checking in for the 53rd day.
Iāve to be very careful at the moment, because my addiction tends to find other options to misuse - e.g. my regular medication.
I wish everyone a good presence and coming future!

Hi all 
Day 110.
I donāt usually check in as such. But today something I was super confident about pretty much tanked in a public way and I feel really crushed.
Trying to view it as a building block to better emotional resilience, and it will be as long as I can stay sober. If I drink I know I will feel worse.
I will check in over the next few days as Iām a little vulnerable to drinking atm
Hope everyone is having a good Wednesday/Thursday

Day 50 of no self harm
My grandpa got some rest and this is probably the best Iāve seen him since back in December when he first got sick. He was walking around the house and doing all his chores and things and he was cooking for himself and everything. He was much more steady on his feet as well.
Iām doing okay I guess. Mostly numb today. since Thursday Iāve been processing some repressed childhood memories which has been rough, but I think theyāre being blocked out again. Iām still figuring out how to let them be, but I just end up dissociating which makes them even foggier.
Something positive: my grandpa is doing good, and Iām finishing up a college class that I hate tomorrow. So that will be out of my hair soon

Day 65
Was able to get a little rest in today. Everything has worked out with my family member. It was a long night last night but I am grateful that I am in the position that I am in to help 
Ran 2 errands today. Got some groceries just now. Will be having a nice supperā¦ steak chili on rice. Yummm. Overall feeling good about thingsā¦ my recovery is good along with my spiritual connection to my HP, I also joined a support group for my emotional overeating to try and figure that piece out, Iām exercising 3x a week, trying new ways to eat healthier (trying jackfruit tmrw) and drink more water, work is going okay also, financially we are staying on track and not getting further into debt, and both me and hubby are opening up more! I am beyond grateful for what my HP has done and the strength He gives me. And grateful for u all constantly being there. Hoping to get some really good rest tonight and be able to exercise in the morning! Hope everyone is well!
