Checking in. Still clean. I am still chipping away at step 4 but I am feeling less angry and emotional and worried today than I was since I started it. My motivation for going on walks and doing my health stuff is coming back. I needed to go easy a couple of days but I have been stressed out but I feel like with summer ending soon and fall beginning I feel a positive transition coming on. I am working on not being so negative in my mind and trying to renew the way that I think and see things… it is hard but it is worth it. Side note * I’m so ready for cozy fall (I know I am early but fr ) also, my bf hasn’t really been calling me as much but that’s ok. I want to think it’s because of me but we are just content where we are at . I am going to a woman’s meeting w my sponsor… my home group and I
Am excited to go. Then
Me and my roommate are having tacos
When I get back. Sooo life is good. Also, does anyone know how to change their profile about me?? I kind of want to change mine but I don’t know how. Thanks :blush:

Get well soon, @Twizzlers , hope you will wake up feeling some, (LOTS) better! Otherwise ODAAT. Nice your fur family is taking care of you while you sleep. (Hogging the bed) Should you feel the slightest short of breath, do something, although that symptom with covid does not usually present until the second week. Big get well hugs and lots of get well love sent.

:first_quarter_moon_with_face: Evening Check In :first_quarter_moon_with_face:
Day 176
Got some exciting news today. I finally have an appt for the Nutrition and Weight Loss Clinic at my doctors office! I’m really hoping they can guide me towards healthier eating!
Hubby was frustrated today tho with a drawing he had to do up for a friend’s new motorcycle charity group that my husband belongs to. It’s a new biker group that is in the process of being formed and they go around helping those in need with bullying or traumatic experiences or just being a support in any way. But my husband was frustrated trying to make everything work for this drawing. I was able to help him without getting frustrated myself. Once he calmed down he went back to it and finished it. And thanked me for helping him and not getting mad at him. My husband doesn’t have the same coping skills that I have developed over the years. He was in prison for 10 years which didnt teach him any healthier coping skills etc. He did however read the entire Bible many times (and oddly enough is still atheist but that’s another story). Anyway, I am proud of how I reacted with love and calmness :slight_smile: and I’m proud of him for the ways he has changed for the better since we have quit using. God is good!

Tonight will be day 161 of no self harm.

Not doing great. Just feeling terrible physically and mentally. Had a migraine all day, and I can’t seem to get myself to eat. I bought myself a pizza Sunday, and today I got mad at myself for wanting to eat something so unhealthy so I threw it away. Never even ate any of it.

Processing a lot about my groomer still. I hate that it bothers me this much. With my uncle there’s still a lot I don’t remember, but with the groomer as soon as he messaged me everything came flooding back in vivid detail. I’ve never felt so repulsive.

Something positive: people in Colorado are getting some kind of government check (mine was $750, I can’t remember exactly what for but it’s something tax related) I’m cashing mine tomorrow and ordering a new piano keyboard. I’ve had my current one since I started playing at age 12, but mine has 61 keys (the new one will have 88) and the off button is broken on mine. I have to unplug it to turn it off. I’m really excited this one is going to be much higher quality and I think it’s something I’ll use a lot. I typically play either guitar, ukelele, or piano every day and I haven’t had a new instrument for several years now

@Thirdmonkey 1600 is incredible, congratulations!
@Butterflymoonwoman I love reading your check-ins Dana! It’s good to see all is going so well!

Well, my final check-in for the night. :first_quarter_moon_with_face: There’s really not too much to tell; my neighbor, the only sober friend I have, dropped by with some chili. I haven’t eating anything since Saturday, so that quite welcome. Finished cleaning that trainwreck that my apartment had become. And the real work starts tomorrow.
Just realize the day I had to reset my timer would’ve been my 60 days. And I was gathering all the books I didn’t read while I was drinking to take them back to the library. One of them is “Winning Against Relapse” :roll_eyes:
Have a good night, fam!
