Havent been here for a bitā¦life sure got busy!! Still going strong at 144 days sober and 922 days substance free! The last couple of days has been hard. Iv been missing my husband like crazy as fathers day is quickly approaching. The kids and I are going to the lake to release balloons that day and have a picnic in his fav spot. Life has been hard without him. On a good note summer is coming which means lots of great things to come! Stay strong everyone!

Working on Day 5 today! Feeling grateful I can wake up with more energy. Iāve set myself a daily morning routine to maintain focus on real life rather than substance abuse. A great lesson Iāve learned thus far is beginning my journey towards self-love.
My whole life Iāve struggled with seeing myself, my concept of who I am always was an amalgamation of various judgements. Iām sure many of us can relate with that voice we know so well. Its the whisper behind others saying weāre ābeing hard on ourselves.ā
āWhat did that person I just met think of me? Did I say the right thing?ā āPeople think im lazy? I guess I must be lazy.ā āThereās no reason to celebrate, all youāve made it is 5 measly days sober.ā
Itās like the āselfā I have always been looking for was hidden behind a thick veneer of uncertainty and doubt.
Iāve always fought that voice with positivity. āNo, Iām sure they donāt think that.ā āNo, im not lazy im trying my best each day.ā āNo there is reason to celebrate. Its 5 whole days!ā
I found that no matter what I said to try and reframe it positively, that negative feeling would still pester me behind my kinder internal dialogue. I could still always feel it.
Now, Iāve been working on seeing that the mean, critical voice I know so well as a real and true part of me. Im not going to fight it anymore. Instead, I accept it as a part of me, and I ask why it feels the way it does, instead of rushing to fix it with positivity just to make it just āfeel better.ā
Itās time to notice myself truly, even the harshness and bitterness. Itās time to ask why Iām so hurt and find the roots of my pain and start to heal. Itās time to be patient in the knowledge I donāt have to fix everything right now.

Day 21. Having a ok morning, meeting at St Joeās went well, going back this Thursday for narcan training. When I got home I went down to mercy to see about my application again bc they said on Wednesday they wanted to hire me but I just wanted to double check about it, the director of nursing wasnāt there. One of the aides was leaving when I was and we talked on the way. I geuss the one nurse downstairs doesnāt want to hire me back bc of my old pass 6 years ago, and I guess some of the other certified nurse aides are saying not to hire me as well. I know some were super welcoming and said they would love to have me back. Just hurts to hear some others are not so happy. I hope they will give me a chance, the aide I talked to said he put in a good word for me. Idk what to do or say about it, itās out of my hands tho I guess. Gonna try to have a good day much love

Morning Check In
Day 98
Woke up nice and early today for a great workout. I really needed to get some built up energy out. Sometimes I feel like Iām restless and agitated and i can feel that energy inside. The workout helped for sure! Had my coffee and a good breakfast that hubby prepared for us (western omelet sandwiches). Have 1 errand to run today and thatās it. Pretty relaxing day!
Hope everyone has an addiction free day!

First of all, congratulations on 3 weeks!! I know that must have been discouraging to hear from the others. Ur obviously not the same person u were 6 years ago. I really hope that the person responsible for hiring is willing to give u another chance and to not allow others to have that kind of negative impact on their decision. But ur rightā¦ what happens will happen at this point. Iām hoping u can have contact with this person before others get to them. Sort of to give u the chance to say what u need to say. Hope u have a fabulous day tho

Checking in. I hit 10 days last night. Iām feeling great. Had a dream last night that I celebrated with alcohol. I woke up scared and disappointed, then I realized that I didnāt and I had an overwhelming amount of relief. That was a great reminder that I prefer to be sober. Have a great day Iām heading into work now.

That is a tough question, because you never know how they would receive it. You know the circumstances/people more than anyone, go with your faith. But do not do anything on impulse.

Their opinion doesnāt matter, really; I know it hurts a little but in the big picture youāre doing whatās BEST FOR YOU! Focus on the good you can offer; you are a caring, sympathetic person and people do love you!
