Checking in. Digging myself out of my depression pit. Was able to pray this morning and it helped a bit. Grateful to wake up sober and relying on my higher power to keep me that way. This too shall pass.

Good morning friends, day 549! Came into the office this morning for the first time in many months. I do not recommend. It took me about 30 minutes this morning just to get my monitors working. Since the last time I was here, I have received a new work laptop and the docking station is completely different. What a big chore. Oh well, first world problems. If I was still a drinker I might not even have a job to complain about.
Have an awesome day! I am going to do mine sober!

Sorry itās taken awhile to get back. Itās been hectic to say the least. Seems there are more appointments for this than anything before. And everyone is more depressing than the last. But hast to slow down at some point yeah? And today is 9 months. Am very thankful for that. Hope you are doing well.

Didnāt have a chance to read this all before, but now that I have, I am so happy I did. What a great story! It must have felt soooo good to make it though all the preparations sober AND staying sober while everyone around you is drinking! Congratulations!! I totally agree that itās wayyyy more enjoyable to stay sober. I used to feel like I was"missing out". Not at all anymore. And your right, itās also great to actually remember the eveningš

Oh no? Plantar fasciitis is sooo painful. Have you tried freezing a purchased plastic water bottle that is still full and then rolling it under your foot? Are you doing a lot of calf stretches? (Straight and Bent leg too to get the gastrocnemius and the soleus). Those things really helped me. I had it years ago. I also ended up getting orthotics which I think has helped it from returning. Hope you feel better soonš¤

It has been a long and hard journey to get here. It still takes daily monitoring and awareness of triggers and mental preparednesses.

Thanks TS!!!
If you are just starting KEEP TRYING!!!
It is worth it!!

Morning Check In
Day 92
Woke up for another great workoutā¦ did legs today. Also had a good rest! Got some relaxing, easy going things to do today along with coloring my hair. So im excited for that!
Late last night tho, hubby got a text fromā¦ guess who?.. our old dealer. He got a new number and was going thru the contact list and wanted to see āhow we were?ā. Againā¦ he said, āHavenāt heard from u in awhile, everything OK?ā. My hubby told him that we were done with it long ago and that even if we wanted to, we didnāt have the money for it anyway. Our dealer told us that he didnāt mind dropping us off a bag for free. Sooo hubby told me this and then said to me that thereās this guy at work who uses on the weekends and that he could make some easy money off of it by selling this free bag to him. There are many things wrong with this plan. 1st off, I donāt want anything to do with our dealer or his minions lol 2nd of all, I DO NOT want that in the home for many reasons but especially bcuz it would just be sitting here in our home for 4 days and thatās honestly dangerousā¦ to think I am even strong enough to have it around me for that long, would be ridiculous. 3rd I think itās sickening that dealers give out freebies to get u re-hooked and spending money againā¦ not today or ever Satan! And 4th I donāt want to be the person responsible for keeping someone addicted and adding to this mans addiction. Sooo many things wrong with this. I told hubby these reasons and he said ur rightā¦ we dont need the money that bad anyway (which we dont). He blocked that new number and deleted the message. That couldve been bad. But sooo grateful for recovery and for my HP right now!
Hope everyone has an addiction free day!
Hugs
