Thank u so much!! I really appreciate that! Thankfully I am not the one who has to clean that!
@DryIn785 it wasnāt a good feeling. Especially since I been pretty zen lately. Thanks for your encouragement. Did you have your interview already. I think you mentioned having one coming up.
@Butterflymoonwoman your tank looks lovely. Hope you enjoy it. Once upon a time my son and I had one. I got very attached to the fishes.
@maxwell hey sis, I hope you are feeling better. Just like @Dazercat said this is the place to let the frustration come out. Better here than on a drink that will bring us nothing positive. Congrats on continuing to rack those days. Youāre closer to your next milestone 45!!!

@michaeljlogan74 eep Iām so sorry your struggling my friend. And about the recordsā¦ surely you can find a new way to channel your love for music, a new space in the new house, to enjoy your tunes.
I wish I could offer more than just supportive words, I hope you have sobriety support in your life, and your able to stay sober today. Remember why you want to be sober, all the good things that come with a sober life.

Amazing work, honouring your sobriety and looking after yourself in such hard times. Itās so hard to care for ourselves when we need it the most. We are all here if you need to vent, or support. Big hugs to you
111 days 
Still struggling to form my routine again in the new space. Iāve been to the gym today but not so much this last few weeks. Just here and there.
Im trying everyday. Trying not to let that relapse āfuck itā voice take over in my health goals. Iām sober, but I also want to care for my body and mind. Im not saying fuck it, and drinking, but im saying fuck it with junk im putting in my mouth, and not getting up to exerciseā¦ and exercise is SO important for my mental health.
Trying to rebuild that healthy relationship with food and exercise, and stay consistent is HARD.
But Iāve been consistently sober for 111 days, and I will learn to keep a consistent and healthy relationship with my food and exercise routine.
I saw some cute art I wanted to share with you all tooā¦
Thanks for listening, big love to you all

Checking in day 1146
Filled with alot of resentments today. Iām tired, Iām annoyed with some particular people, Iām stressed about moving soon, Iām frustrated by some circumstances (my own and others which affect me), Iām tired of not feeling appreciated, Iām sick of always ādoingā and feeling like I never get to āstopā. Iām fed up with things not going to plan. Simply put, today just feels like shit - its put me in a mood of being shitty with everyone and everything and I hate it.
I need to sit quietly later tonight and decide what I can and canāt control. Let go of what I canāt and learn to manage the rest more effectively. I know these feelings will pass, I just needed to play the violin and ventā¦ hopefully my next post will be more uplifting!

I canāt remember the last time I checked in but I believe it was before I hit the 1 year markā¦ and yes I made it to my 1st year of sobriety 
itās a journey not a destination, a lot of things happened, both good and bad and all the in betweenā¦ Iām stronger than who I used to be, and Iāve learned to be mindful of what I say or do nowadaysā¦ this past week I treated myself to a new piercing (ear cartilage to be exact) & sad to say itās infected 
I have absolutely no idea what Iām supposed to do (do I take the jewelry out or leave it?) Itās swollen & tender to the touchā¦ itās been like this the past 3 days, the first 4 days it was fine no pain or swelling at allā¦ But I have been cleaning it ritually 3x a dayā¦ but Iāve wondered off a bit of what I was trying to sayā¦ Iām checking in, still sober today I just wanted to reach out and let someone know thatā¦Thanks for reading this.

Iām sorry you are feeling like this. Iām only on day 16 so donāt have too much advice for youā¦. I just wanted to say if you drink you feel hungover tomorrow which will make everything so much worse! Remember your worst hang over and what you are feeling now is surely not as bad as that? Also if you continue to feel bad, maybe seeing a professional would help. Sending my thoughts and wishes and hope this feeling passes.

You showed a lot of willpower there! Well done! Iām hoping to get to Liverpool again this summer. Iāve never had a sober trip to Liverpoolā¦. Always been a party town for me. Even when I lived there I donāt think I was sober very often. Anyways Iād love to take my kids and do the touristy thing, take them to the tate, the world museum, Sefton park, the Beatles museum. Think theyād love it.

Coffee. Moving into the hottest day on record here. Glad I donāt have to work although the climate control there functions alright. Unlike the planetās that is.
Even gladder I donāt think drinking alcohol will help in this heat because the opposite is true. Alcohol dehydrates next to all the other bad stuff it does to our bodies and souls. Never again. Have as good a day as you all can friends. Stay cool and make it sober and clean. One hot day at a time. Love from my favourite cooling down spot in town.

109 days sober. My psychologist was well impressed and told me not to worry too much about the random smokingā¦itās the lesser of the things Iāve used to work through life. Being hard on myself can ruin me so it was nice to be reminded Iām still on track.
More tools and tips to try out as I transition off the smoking. Basically around the tension we feel that leads to these vicesā¦reflecting and taking some time to work through the emotional stuff and tension as it arises.
I canāt even articulate it sorry
