Yeah it’s very hot … though I felt myself Adapting and same with my diet. I was eating way more fruit and lighter meals … I also have pretty good endurance with the heat from growing up in Florida and have always been outside a lot … there definitely was a couple rough days and just drinking Pedialyte at nighttime and feeling like I couldn’t cool down till like 9pm some nights … fortunately it’s over and I’m glad I just stayed smart and conserve energy and know when to stay in the shade

Mid day checkin,

I shouldnt have had that caffinated tea so late in the day!! Attended a cool zoom aa meeting everyday this week and plan to continue on the weekends (its 2pm my time so wont be able to attend with work next week). Reached out to a lady who has 12 years sober. I hope to keep chatting with her Idk if im ready to do the 12 steps but I find this app helping me thru my cravings. Lots of good work going on in these threads. 18.5 days alcohol and weed free.

Im nervous if/when my new job will drug test me. I heard weed stays in your system for 30days. Going to buy an at home test to see if i need to worry.

Anyways, thanks for reading and sharing everyone!

@LaDyLooNtje I did put on the ad about the eyes, but seeing the words ‘eye infection’ and seeing the goopy red mess is a different matter.

@RosaCanDo You are right, maybe I should allow myself to trust the kindness of the new family.

@Daishippai Nice to see you again. 笑 at your user name.

@BrianP Yikes! Hope ur ankle is ok.

Had a pretty good meeting tonight, mind was really trying to get me not to listen like to the point I gave myself a headache. I didn’t want to share at the end bc I realized I need to listen, but I spoke a little don’t even really remember what I said. I got home at 922 my dad called and said my grandfather passed at 9 o’clock right as I was walking out of my meeting. I do feel a little off now but I’ll be ok much love

Day 79 of no self harm

I’m doing okay today. My grandma (who isn’t typically a very loving person) took My sister and I to lunch today. Ate at IHOP and I actually ate a full meal. 2 pancakes, 2 sausage links, and hashbrowns. Was pretty good but it’s kinda made me realize how hungry I am. I just wanted to keep eating.

Hung out my VR friend again. We hang out every night lately. Most just watch YouTube but nights are really bad for me so having some company helps me to relax. He actually told me today that he has a lot of online friends he doesn’t think he’d get along with irl but he said he’d love to hang out sometime with me irl. Was really nice to hear.

Something positive: I ate a full meal

#Day 1339 :seedling:
It’s not easy to fill the day when you have pain and have to recover from surgery when you are an active person like me. I feel stupid when sitting in the couch with a book ore my phone. Can’t get normally dressed because of the stitches so wearing my onesie. Walking to the kitchen is as far as I get now.
Feeling sorry for myself :hugs: So I’m happy to have TS to vent so I can protect the people around me from it. Yesterday at the end of the day I was so agitated because of the pain so I bought myself a new pair of my favorite sneackers.
So not a nature picture today but a picture of them instead:


Today they arive :partying_face:
Pain sucks, so I deserve this shoes :sweat_smile:

Coffee. Sunny early morning. Supposed to get lots of rain later. The land needs it. I’ll continue to do some chores in my flat. In the past I let it all go for years before doing something about it.

I’m still not the tidiest and cleanest and I don’t even remember when I last did stuff like clean my windows, but I do notice it’s much easier then in the past so it must be not tool long ago. It’s a bit like keeping my sobriety. It does get easier. Still needs maintenance though. One day at a time.

Have as good a Friday as you can all. Make it clean and sober for starters, or nothing will come of it. Love from my place. Love it when the jungle outside my windows is back. As it is this morning.

@SadMemeQueen Lots of positives Megan! Makes me glad, hope it does make you glad too.
@SoberWalker You deserve the world Claudia! Coole gympen.
