Day 27 - Hello everyone. A slightly earlier check in than usual as I am with the kids tonight. It’s been a very good day with a lot of good news that carried me through the day with barely a whisper of my addiction.
I went to a flat viewing and I was so impressed I put an offer in! I have to wait until tomorrow to find out if it is accepted but it’s another step in the right direction.
I spent a couple of evenings this week putting together an opinion piece about my favourite football (soccer) team and it got published on a website! It was a very strange and surreal thing to happen. It felt good that my writing was appreciated though.
Most importantly I’ve had an evening with the kids. My son is out at an after school club but I played a board game with my step daughter that we both really enjoyed.
All in all a good day. It goes to show how the worries and pent up feelings really drive my addiction. As soon as I get progress against them or talk about them the addictive need to relapse just disappears. I need to be mindful, take it one day at a time and be open to my feelings.
Thanks for listening. I hope you all have an amazing day.

It’s hard for me because I don’t personally have experience with a dad that’s constantly letting you down and breaking promises. I mean I have my own kind of daddy issues. But I just don’t know what their going through. And it sucks I never wanted them to realize how he is. I tried to protect them from it. I knew they would figure it out eventually…. But I wanted them to have the fantasy a little longer.
Thanks girl. That’s my goal. That’s actually what got me sober in the first place. My daughter told me she wanted to be just like me when she grows up. It completely destroyed me. I decided that I would have to be someone I was okay with them being.

Completed step 2 with my sponsor yesterday! Felt freeing…magical in a way. We spoke about how we organically felt the steps working through us spiritually while on them. Mind you I’m starting step 3 but the feeling and strength and love felt is a gift that I am thankful to my higher power whom I call God for and is keeping me sober.
Strong 24!

Day started rough. Picked up meds, but had to walk back from pharmacy - about a mile or more - in 95 degree humid Kansas weather.
But, good stuff happened. I may have mentioned before that Topeka has an excellent support system for recovery and mental health. One of these facilities is Vocational Rehab. The last time I was in VR, they gave me a 3-hour intelligence test and decided to send me to college anywhere I wanted to go. I couldn’t take them up on that because U.T. refused to release my transcripts.
Well, today I signed up again and within a week, I’ll know if I’m going back to school! Keep fingers crossed! 
P.S. @Its_me_Stella Congratulations on 900!!

Checking in-
I have good news to report. I did get a job offer! I’m very grateful. I will be accepting the offer. Going back out to California to be announced as new CEO in two weeks. It will be a tough job (as usual) AND I’ll have to move again. But, this is what life is about right? Change. Ugh…more change. At least the Board and leadership team resonated with my vision. Now, I have to continue to take care of myself.
I have been struggling with staying sober. The stress of interviewing and getting a job has been overwhelming. I haven’t spoken to my sponsor in a week 
I’m not doing what I need to do. So, I’m back in the community and becoming more engaged. I’m going to call my sponsor tomorrow morning on our scheduled time. ODAAT.
