Coffee. It’s busy days. Working 5 days in a row (2 left). Doesn’t sound like much but for me it is with my 4 day work week. I’m liking my new job and am beginning to feel more at home in it but it’s demanding. Don’t feel totally drained after a day’s work like I used to in my old work though. Just tired.
Luna is getting old and her health is really worrying me. She has been my closest family for the last 16 years. It’s going to be so hard losing her.
Also busy with my recovery/discovery. And feeling a bit stuck in the middle with it. While I am in the middle of it, but not stuck. Sometimes it’s just a lot. Got a two week break in my course in experiential expertise. But will be back with my therapist Thursday after her holiday. I will probably need another therapist in October because of logistical reasons but I don’t want to lose her. First one ever I have felt connection with.
We’re not done. I’m not done. Still got my abuse history to deal with. I feel it too. That’s the feeling of being stuck in the middle. Well. One foot in front of the other. One day at a time. Sober and clean. Have as good a week as you all can friends. We’re on this journey together. Love from my commute.

Morning people. Checking in on day 7. Hopefully my last day 7 ever. Looks like another heat wave coming here in the northeast part of the states, so work should be a bitch, but much easier feeling like this, than the other way. Have a great Monday everybody.

Day 62. Said my prayers, and gratitudes. Feeling content and optimistic, I notice I say I feel the same pretty much every check In, time to learn some new feelings lol. One of the guys had a pretty scary and shitty situation the other day, someone saw he was from the half way house and was sitting out front, somebody pulled up and offered him drugs. Pretty crappy if you ask me. It’s ok living with 19 guys, some days are as expected to be rough and challenging. I’m noticing some addictive behavior and thinking, so I’m working on that. Glad I’m noticing my behavior now. And in a safe place to see it

Day 13
Day 13 of bettering myself and no drinking was an interesting weekend, since the S/O’s fling cut it off with her she expected me to comfort her after I’ve been at home showing dedication and love while she’s been trying to find it in someone else Idon’t Feel it’s right for her to just come to me when she needs attention. So I didn’t, just gotta keep pushing through untill the baby gets here , here’s to another Monday sober, work then gym let’s get it!

Relatively good day. More and more doing things, finished the part of the garden as planned.
I have been procrastinating picking up a summer present box from my employer which was delivered to a pick up point in town. Noticed that my mind went over it knowing that there would be some beers in it. The addictive mind tried to sneak in, “it’s just beer and it’s from you employer, why not enjoy them?”. Somehow those thoughts gave me the creeps. Just picked up the box following my strategy. I unpacked the box at the counter and handed the two IPA cans of beer to the guy working there, he liked IPA so I said then please enjoy them. Now at 19 months sober I get the goosebumps while writing this down,……and feel really proud and bit scared on the other hand. Realize it’s never gone and can be just around the corner.
I kept the lamp that came with, it has an applicable name

Day 0 - Checking in for accountability. I have relapsed multiple times in the last few days. Very much back at the bottom of the well.
I have started a mental health journal and reached out to some one off therapy support through work as I have been totally overwhelmed by life. Through talking to the therapist I got some good practical advice today that I am going to put into practice from today.
Onwards and upwards.

I’m doing the following to make today a successful day 1:
-
Writing a list of small, medium and large things that I can do to help me when I am getting overwhelmed by my addiction / anxiety / loneliness / stress. These are things from taking a cold shower and breathing exercises to calling someone to talk it over. This is going to be my toolbox.
-
I’ve written a small list of things to do today. I am motivated by lists but at the same time I get overwhelmed by the magnitude of what is going on in my life right now (getting over the end of a 8 year relationship, buying a flat, planning 2 holidays, work). As part of one day at a time I am going to write an achievable set of things to do each day, breaking what I need to do down into little bits.
-
I have installed a mental health resource which contains short audio messages on a variety of different topics. I am going to use this to get some guidance particularly in relation to anxiety.
It’s not the be all and end all but it’s a start

Good morning 
beautiful people! Checking in on day 215 I’m incredibly humbly excited to wake up without running to the sauce! I never thought I could live , breathe, or function without numbing pain. Going through tough feelings and trials sober actually minimizes the problems. Because when I was buzzed up my mind made mountains out of mole hills. I’m proud to say that once I truly grasped and understood the true concept of ONE DAY AT A TIME that was the biggest game changer. And I can have a new day every day without beating myself up about forever forward or milling over all the past regrets and mistakes. My relationship with my daughter is slowly building I’ve been sober Waaayyyyyy shorter than I’ve been wasted and I came to the realization that I have to respect her time to heal and trust. I have to put self aside and prove myself daily and not aloud pride to get in the way. Quick to love slow to anger! Any whoooo, God bless and I’m truly thankful for this group! It’s a saving grace ! Keep coming back!
