Checking in at day 245.
I work at various locations in healthcare and due to satisfaction from both sides, I was asked to work at a fixed location for a period of time. There are a few clients in that group who receive extra care, so this week I am going to do a test for a few nursing actions for which I do not yet have a certificate. But I also have to work and I have to study for the tests. So that’s going to be busy and I hope my head saves the info after a long day at work. But I’m happy with it, I get paid more and it looks good on my resume. I will also be working with my sponsor soon. All these activities together with the meetings and TS ensure that I stay clean and sober🙏

Oh I remember those days! My daughter is now 16 and I don’t help her at all anymore. She does go for homework help after school for calculus though. I think it’s always tough when a parent is trying to help their kid with homework. I remember times when I was frustrated and tried to push through and now I wish I had just said I’m really sorry but I can’t help you with this. It’s hard not to want to help our kids especially if they forget their books at school but I have learned through the process that it’s better for me to let my daughter experience the consequences of her mistakes (such as for getting material that she might need for school work) instead of me trying to help her. It’s even better sometimes if she has a friend to call or if there’s the option at all to email the teacher… Lucky I don’t have to pay for the extra homework help but I have also thought in the past of trying to get her a tutor because every time I tried to help her it ended in frustration for the both of us. It’s definitely a challenge though because of course you want to help and it is difficult if he has to go back to school without his work done because he forgot his books. There’s always these situations and I’m sorry that you feel you didn’t handle it well but I’m sure you did the best you could in the situation and that’s all we can ever do. Parenting is one of the hardest things and we’re all learning along the way. It’s probably not as bad as you think, and kids get over things a lot faster so I hope you can give yourself a big hug and know that you’re a great mom

Day 690 clean and sober today. I have my deposition today in regards to the horrible kidney surgery that I had a couple years ago that I didn’t even need today at 10 and I’m nervous af. Some of you remember me going through the 5 months trying to recover from that and it was hell. I hope you all have an amazing day today, I love you guys!!!

Hello Kat here checking in Day 272 it’s my 9-months clean!
Hope to pick up keytag at meeting tonight. Things are good, at work and then will hit the gym for some self-care. Going in the hot-tub today.
Today I have hope that I can make it to 1 year and the rest of my life.
Hope you all have a great clean and sober day!

Checking in on day 360 free from the insanity of active alcoholism. Creeping up on a year and that is really hard to fathom. ODAAT. Getting in a hard Back day workout right now, some gross stats work later on, and my son’s baseball and daughter’s simultaneous softball game on the adjacent field this evening if the weather cooperates. Have a great day, everyone. It’s a great day to be above ground and sober.

Woke up feeling like absolutely crap. Nightmares followed by Depression. Anxiety’s going through the roof. Going to push through another day.

Day 7 for me. Can’t believe it! Literally stared at my reflection this morning and pinched myself!
This is also the first time I’ve got this far within my own life (not escaping my life to get sober then coming back to my life to discover I can’t keep it up).
You are all amazing!
