On day 11 and today was challenging.
I had a session with my therapist that brought up some past trauma and made me realize I still have quite the road ahead of me. This trauma made its way into my head afterwards and set the tone for a tough conversation with my partner. I was so scared to talk about it with her, and started to psych myself out/my inner saboteur came out. Thankfully she was so patient and let me speak, and thanked me for being vulnerable. Iām still feeling emotionally ārawā because Iāve never really been encouraged to share my feelings like that. Vulnerability can be very tiring and hard on me, but I know that this was a good step and thing to share.
I hope everyone has a great day, weāre all in this journey together

Day 16. Went down and saw my grandfather again, my two auntās were there. Was a nice visit, filled out my application yesterday and saw the director of nursing and she said she would love to hire me back so going to be going through the process and back ground check. Beautiful day with my girls. My mom said something that clicked for me the other day, that sheās just feeling left out so I got some information for the al anon meetings here in town, I hope she will go so she can get her power and love for herself back. She was really frustrated today and pretty snappy, I was trying to be as understanding as possible, it almost put me in a bad mood as well but I did the best I could trying to support her. Not much else to say I think, probably should call my sponsor quick and just check in and say hiā¦ Idk if that stuff gets annoying or not

One day at a time. 5 days is hard and important! I looked at this forum and my counter for at least an hour a day the first few weeks.
run away and save yourself if you find yourself unexpectedly with access, btw! You can leave the space, scroll on your phone, buying something else instead, anything! The cravings always subside.
A good thing I read here:
ābetter to be sober wishing you were drunk, than drunk wishing you were soberā

Day 74
Checking in sober once again.
Have a tick bite. Actually many. Painting outside. Finished a fence, tomorrow i start the detatched garage. You dont think a picket fence would take that long to paint but it does - many small corners and high surface area. It will take much less time to do the garage.
Coming home to do watercolor. So tired. Sad. Grateful.

Holy crap Mike! The change in u this time around is just incredible! Like ur attitude is different, the way ur so supportive, and productive and really embracing ur journey and opening urself up to opportunities! This is sooo good to see!! So freakin proud of you 
Also its never annoying for a sponsor. They wanted to be a sponsor to help others. Thatās what they are there for they may need the checkin just as much! It may help the sponsor to get out of themselves too.

I need to change, what I was doing wasnāt working. Thank you Dana, Iām sure this nice weather is helping. My sponsor told me you get what you give, I use to just fake my gratitudes so that I could keep getting, I never actually wanted to give. I need to pass on the gift of sobriety be grateful and help where I can, Iāve made to many excuses and itās been getting me know where. As always you know Iām proud of you, coming up on those triple digits much love
