Day 11 today. Thankful for a partner who has decided to quit with me even though she doesn’t really have a problem with alcohol. She desires to be supportive and keep temptation out of our home. Our relationship has already become so much more intimate in these 11 days and I’m excited about our days ahead. I’m happy today. Have a good Monday, friends.

Still here. Still sober. Yesterday was a little rough at work just feeling very manic. Felt out of rhythm with everything and was jonesin by the time I left work. Was able to ground myself (honestly nicotine helped there) and had a good talk w the mrs about things, reinforcing both our stances on complete sobriety. We also explored some different Hobbies as I’ve had things I’ve wanted to do for a while that maybe I haven’t been doing and perhaps I can find more sustainable happiness through that? Either way we both agree that the anxiety or desire to continue to use basically any substance for both of us outweighs any potential moderation that we can even conceive of so there’s no point in continuing in that endeavor.
Got about 4 hours of sleep last night because insomnia is a buy product of my sobriety, but thats ok.
At this time My mind is clear, I feel content and I’m off today so I have time to find something to appreciate today. I am blessed
Have a good, sober day.

Day 177, early in the am
I woke up freaked out. I called out because im dreading work, havent called out in a while, and want to quit anyway. So today is literally resume day, I need to apply for jobs.
6 months is 1 week away and I feel silly for caring about this milestone approaching as far back as 2 weeks ago.
Will this ever end? Will I ever have some peaceful day to day? Why did my life happen in the way it did?
I honestly want to stop caring about the “why” of it and be a better friend and person. Maybe I need to stop feeding my confusion and behave like how I want to live.
Tidied for 20 minutes, not right before bed, but early enough.
Today - I will make this productive.

Gm I am at 2 1/2 years and 7 days clean today. I am really upset about my sponsor. She hasn’t been taking my calls or replying to me, slowly decreasing contact since I started step 4. I don’t know what to do. Also, I was offered a position to sit at an HNI panel in a woman’s jail and spread the message of recovery and Narcotics Anonymous.I talked to the lady who offered it to me yesterday and she told me she would call me back and never did. I texted, no reply… I don’t know why these ppl w a lot of clean time are not being consistent. Anyway, I don’t know what I should do but I am going to first assert myself . Then go from there. I have a video visit w my boyfriend tomorrow… I am always nervous about them but they end up going good … yeah I hope it does . I am just going to tell myself it will go well and that I can do this! I get nervous and excited… well, I am also mad about my weight plateauing or slowly creeping . I think I just need to be grateful… also, I got passed the “who are you resentful towards and why?” Question on step 4 In the inventory… I wrote almost a whole notebook on that question but i was having a hard time getting those nasty resentments out that we’re keeping me stuck. Recovery is possible and worth it. Ttyl

Hanging in here. I have to sleep early because tomorrow I wake up at 4 AM for my side job and in the evening I go to work night shift.
I know working won’t help me beat this and I have to face my urges but hey, I know I ain’t going back, it is what it is.
Hope you guys are doing well.

Start of day 4. Good morning everyone. I have exposure therapy today for my phobia. It’s always a really draining day. I DO think it’s helping…. A little. But it’s hard.

Congratulations on your 150 days Kelly.
That’s a great chunk of sobriety you got going there.
You’ve been around here enough to know about
H.A.L.T. Right?
Hungry
Angry
Lonely
Tired.
Every once and awhile when I got a good chunk of sober time going I’d get depressed or weirded out or just get in a funk. It was a struggle. I figured I had one job. Just make it through the end of the day sober. That’s it. Because I know what that first drink does to me. It fucks me up for a really long time.
Reach out.
We got your back.
