Thank you so much.
I think UK will make round 40C the next 2 days, I live in Spain, so Iāve been living in a constant heat wave the past 2-3 weeks! 
Day 5 for me, donāt let that grumpy feeling get you, youāre sober and thatās so much worth!

Wow, 98 days, how exciting. I am sorry you are still feeling rough.
It sounds like we were similar in terms of drinking habits. Mine was about daily drinking and thinking about it all the time. I suspect there are plenty of people out there just like I was that donāt think it is an issue to drink daily as they donāt start until the evening, and are functioning well as adults. I was just sick of being ruled by it though, and now my health is being affected.
My current biggest battle is moderation. I know I can give up for weeks at a time, and that nothing disastrous happens if I drink. The problem comes that once I start down that road I know I will quickly be back to the beginning.

I honestly donāt know how you cope with this for even days at a time! Britain is falling apart
I think I am grumpy as slept so badly. Now I have had my coffee and have showered etc I think I will be OK.
Thanks so much for your reply

30 years living in Spain, Iām somehow used to it, but at this point itās starting to get on my nerves, and there is still a lot of summer ahead! And yes, it can make you grumpy! Drink lots of water! Maybe with some lemon, cucumber, or something fresh!

Coffee. My personal weekend has arrived. Because it will be hot here too Iām not going to do much. Happy I commuted to work by bike the last couple of days so I had my 
training.
Working in the detox over the weekend was a lot more like I imagined it to be when I applied for this job a couple of months ago. Actually enjoyed it quite a lot. Got to have some longer talks with folks about recovery, about what happens and should be happening after detox ends. Tried to use my own experiences too. And will start a course in how to do that more effectively this Thursday. Looking forward to that. Sober and clean.
Have as good a day or night as you all can friends. Make it clean and sober or nothing will come of it. Love from my night ride home.
@Rockstar24777 Sounds rough Rob. There has to be some satisfaction for you in working there. Any idea why itās so hard for you? Personally I feel I have the right amount of professional distance as a RN, combined with the right amount of involvement as an addict in recovery myself to make me working the detox a success and fulfilling to me. Just as long as there arenāt too many aggressive people around

Good morning Menno, itās because the young kids in there remind me of Corey and I do my best to help them for sure but itās almost a constant reminder of his overdose last year. Iām still healing.

I totally feel you on that friend. Iām going to use an old cliche and say that you need to heal yourself first before you can help heal others. I know you know that too. Still want to say it. Of course your healing will never be complete. But still. Take care of yourself Rob. First and foremost. We have to take care of ourselves before taking care of others or it will all come to nothing. Hugs and love my friend. take care and have as good a day as you can.
Huge congrats on 200 Wakikki! Be proud!!!

Oh no, feeling ill in this weather must be horrendous! And now every time you are ill there is the added anxiety of covid!
I am working from home in a dark room. Ice pops sounds like a great idea 
What about you? I am off to pick my daughter up from school at lunchtime as the afternoon is only optional. Their classrooms are not built for this heat! My son has gone in his PE kit.
