You don’t have to be sorry. We are all still human dealing with everyday stuff. This of course is the place to vent and get it off your chest. I know it’s a lot later On your end than mine. Did your day get better?

It’s 12pm for me. I will be having lunch soon :wink:. Grandma is being herself. Strong and optimistic. She’s put her future and health in the hands of God. Not to sound morbid but she’s actually said she’s not afraid to die. She’s at peace with herself and I know that her faith gives her hope for her eternal resting place. She’s waiting for an appointment with the oncologist. All of us as a family are just waiting to see where she’s at. Hope she’s early stages :pray:t3:.

Day 54 - It’s been a long day. I feel like I’ve 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 friend’s 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. It’s 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. I’ve 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!

My afternoon isn’t going too well. Tried to get out and move around but it is just so hot and humid, but I feel so confined and restless sitting at home. Fighting off another really strong urge to drink now so I thought I’d shout out at my squad. How’s everybody doing?

Kansas sounds like FL! Hang tough, I hope the urges subside.

Exhausted from work all day. We had a violent intruder training and it made me really sad to look at what the world is coming to. There were two younger coworkers who said theyve had active shooter trainings in middle school and high school. Like wtf?! I just had fire and tornado drills. Theres good in this world just sad

Welcome back! I’m sorry to hear you had someone get under your skin here. It sucks and it’s not helpful. But you’re back and so is Kevin (he’s such a cutie). Welcome back you two :innocent:

I’m sorry that happened and I’m glad you (and Kevin Snickerdoodle Cadbury) are still here. Most important, you stayed sober! Don’t let one knucklehead derail you. Or any number of knuckleheads, for that matter.

That truly is depressing. I remember having fire drills in school, that was about it. Active shooter drill is just mind boggling. :worried:
