A man can dream, canāt he? I am aware that shelter work has itās downside, but I just love animals and I think Iād be good at it. Cool thing about dogs is that they can tell if youāre a dog person. Seriously. Iāve had total strangerās dogs just walk up to me and want to cuddle. I really wish I had recorded this dog Sophie. She was just over the top friendly.

Hello. Checking in, still clean. I wasnāt feeling the greatest and I took an at home Covid test and came up positive. I have managed to dodge being sick since Covid happenedā¦ it caught up to me. Anyway I get 5 days in quarantine and I can go back out to work if my other at home test is positive. I just have a sore throat and I am really tiredā¦ I have video DBT from 1-3 and I just want to sleep but I missed the last 2 weeks so I have to be there. Anyway, I am going to stay clean and I was having all of these flashback thoughts of my use and cravings when I was laying in bed. I definitely keep myself busy so I donāt have to think but now I canāt escape it. I hope I recover soon and thanks for listening.

Day 44 here, hanging in there. Recently had a first in being completely open about my struggles with people in my life by way of a social media post. Sounds dumb but the wave of support I received was exactly what I needed right now and something I definitely did not expect. I think people are usually better than I give them credit for, myself included. Still trying to get on a more structured routine that includes exercise and eating better and I get frustrated with myself when I donāt follow through on that but I am constantly reminding myself to be patient with and nice to myself. Itās a struggle lol hope everyone here is having a great sober day!

Hey thanks. In the beginning the days seemed long and never ending but now they seem short. I sometimes feel I donāt have enough time during the day. Feels great tho to have so much to do in a day. Especially the self care part. Gym, a walk a run. Feels fantastic. You keep going to my friend.

Itās 12pm for me. I will be having lunch soon 
. Grandma is being herself. Strong and optimistic. Sheās put her future and health in the hands of God. Not to sound morbid but sheās actually said sheās not afraid to die. Sheās at peace with herself and I know that her faith gives her hope for her eternal resting place. Sheās waiting for an appointment with the oncologist. All of us as a family are just waiting to see where sheās at. Hope sheās early stages

Day 54 - Itās been a long day. I feel like Iāve spent half a week just driving up and down the motorway, securing a room to rent, retrieving the stuff I need for the next few months. Buying some small bits of furniture. That, leaving my friendās house and the heat have left me mentally, physically and emotionally exhausted. I missed checking in and with a day off today my addiction was waiting. Itās been a really hard day and I was very very close to relapsing. Closer than I have been in a long time. It was definitely a warning sign that I need to get back to basics, check in again and work on my recovery. Iāve come so far. I just need to keep things simple and open up to how I am feeling inside.
The last 3 months have been filled with such emotional turmoil. Its going to take a while to process but at least I have a small corner of the world in which to do it.

I did this for me. No one asked me to stop/quit. Checking in at 80 days today! I feel great and more accomplished during these sober days over the past 2 years of drinking! I started alcohol therapy almost a year ago to help control my drinking to now completely dry of the sauce! Have a great day all! Stay motivated and as always one day at a time!
