@BrianP Congratulations on 3 weeks! Awesome to hear this!! Proud of you!
@Englishd I love this picture so much!!! Ur kiddo is adorable! Love that heās trying to have coffee like u 
@LaDyLooNtje I see what your saying for sure. And I get the sense that you really care for ur clients and their future. Its a tough spot to be in. Every client I work with also are very vulnerable and go out and use drugs (or use in their homes) and I see the struggle that it causes, on top of their intellectual disability. On one hand I see why you did that and how it could progress to something pretty serious, especially if he can purchase it on his own. On the other hand, if he doesnāt ādrinkā often, or try to ādrinkā due to being upset or stating that he needs to relax or whatever I donāt know if Iād worry too, too much (just yet). I do feel like maybe having the experience you have, has amplified the situation in a sense. Just being more alert to addiction/alcoholism (probably more so than ur coworkers). If he has the mentality of a 7 year old, I wonder if when something is forbidden to do or get, then he will want it even more. I think back to myself as a child and when someone didnāt want me to do something, I wanted it even more or would rebel etc. So im wondering if that may apply to his situation seeing how he has a disability and his mentality is young. I would definitly keep an eye and watch out for āsignsā of a possible addiction down the road. He is allowed to have this 0% beer in his home for the reason of normalization but at the same time, I wonder if just having a chat with him (if he can understand) about when people drink and why they drink etc would help? I often have talks with clients about their drug use and how to do it āsafelyā. They are technically adults by age but they all have a intellectual disability at the same time. Ultimately they can do what they want (believe me I donāt like it), but all I can do is support them and have talks with them and have the resources available when they need them. Itās such a tough spot to be in, I hear u. We never want to see our clients suffer.

Had a good weekend, still having a hard time sitting still, but trying to put that into good use around my house. I wish everyone a great day! Thank you for your support, sending virtual hugs to all

Day 63. I am really worried. Iāve been thinking too much about drinking beer. Thoughts like: āif I drink life will be so much easy, have a drink, just one and you stopā. I am losing it.

NOOOOOO, donāt do it! Be honest with yourself, would you stop or would you throw away everything youāve done so far? Thatās your inner drunk brain trying to trick you, tell it to F off and stay sober. Please be strong, you can do it!

Donāt give up, our addicted brain will sometimes whisper to us like this. Just remember what can happen after a few drinks and why you want to quit. This whisper will go away if you give yourself time

I reallly just want a break . Fuck Iām tired. There is no other way to put it right now. Iām just going to keep pushing forward. Hopefully something happens today I donāt feel like sleeping outside for seven more days . But I will if I have to. One day at a time just like everything else. Itās really hard to see the light sometimes right now, or it feels like this is forever. Iām trying to keep my routines and staying busy . I just already feel like itās going to be a long day . I street preformed the last 2 days and it was very hotā¦ but I have enough to rest the next few days . A friend suggested looking into going to the library. Going to try to keep this phone charged. Stay out of the sun. Really canāt wait for next Sunday to be somewhere permanent and go back to working and continue this sober journey
