Coffee together with breakfast. I really like to 
to and from work. Only thing is the day should have some more hours in it. As it stands thereās no time to do anything else but commute, work and eat. And sleep a bit.
Well, thereās no time for boozing either. Although in the past I would have found time for that somehow anyhow. Never again. Iām sober and clean. And I expect the same from you all as itās the reason weāre here and itās the only way to have a better life for all of us.
Have as good a day as you all can friends. Love from my commute.

Checking in on day 374. Was a rather rough night. My boss purchased a new larger nursing home and has been letting this one go to hell very quickly. He hasnāt been seen in the building in months. Upped the rent fee and limited their food selection even further. Weāve had five people quit in two weeks and itās becoming more and more stressful to us left working and the residents. I spent half my day getting screamed at for the rent hike and food changes. With the boss hiding away somewhere, we are the unfortunate ones left to deal. I took this job as a way to help give back but itās causing such stress to see the state of the building and the food being served to the elderly. Thereās nothing that is illegal that is being done to my knowledge but itās just taking advantage of someone in a feeble mindset. Itās an non-assisted living home meaning they should all be self reliant, yet every resident there has some form of Alzheimerās or Dementia and canāt be left to make their own choices. Today was overwhelming with the residents screaming and unexpected people quitting causing me to work even more hours. I was in a panic for about an hour just not sure what to do but finally collected myself. Definitely thinking I may have to step away from the job and just volunteer as much ad I can there to help out, seeing as I am severely limited to what I can do while employed there. Sorry for the rant, but this is the best place to do it! Hope every stays safe and takes care.

Aloha my beautiful peopleā¦today I celebrate 3 years 7 months 28 days. Life has been really busy I quit my job after almost 10 years to go in a different direction and itās been going great. I wouldnāt have done any changes in my life if I wasnāt clean today. I would have stayed miserable and not happy and today I know I deserve to be happy even though starting new is scary. I hope all is well with everyone here starting a new way of life

I think for me it depends how long lethargy lasts, its for a day I tell myself okay, my body and mind need a break it is okay to stop and do nothing and have some me time- this can be difficult if you feel you have things to do but you have to switch off and then your head is clearer the next day. Itās okay for stop and give yourself time.
If it lasts more days out if the week then maybe it could be your anxiety or even some depression causing it and maybe speak with your dr?
Iv had both and when itās just me and I want to get motivated I think you have the right idea about get up and do 15 minutes.
Hope this helps

Awe, sweet Twizzle. It is so hurtful when we donāt get the validation we need/want from people we love. I understand this very well. I know you have gotten lots of great advice from all the others so I will just slide in here to wish you a happy 11 months and to give you a massive hug. You are such a beautiful soul and I just love having you along on this crazy journey. It sounds to me like youāre very proud of yourself, hold onto that feeling you deserve it. Donāt forget who youāre doing this for, shes the only one you have to impress.

Congratulations thatās brilliant to see 8 months 
@Kaeo your doing amazing too 3 yrs 7 months and 28 days wow 
@Chosen2001 congratulations on your 4 months.
@HillbillyChris congrats on your 374 days.
Thatās sounds tough, like the boss has just let this go and is concentrating more on his ānewā project. Is he planning to transfer the patients over to the bigger place or he literally is just hiding away leaving you guys to pick up the peices and put back together what he is leaving behind with hardly any resources.
This is terrible.
I hope your okay, it must be really difficult to watch members of people families care being reduced and there not much you can do about it.
Your a very kind person to care.
You have to also look after yourself, and people walking out is putting pressure on you and the rest of the workers left. Hopefully something can be done.
@miranda 5 days is amazing!! Keep going strong one day at a time

Good morning Chris, this is something we are seeing more of in the uk.
There is so much greed about at the cost of lives and dignity. And reading your account highlights the fact that it is not just the residents that suffer but the hard working caring staff that actually give a shit.
I can only imagine how stressful this makes your day . I always try and look for positives and those are clearly visible as you are better than your boss being yourself a caring compassionate human being with a conscience. You are here sharing and still have another day sober mate.

Checking in, 1 week in the bag.
Having spent a long weekend with my parents we head home this evening.
Thought being here would be a massive trigger but my parents (even my alcoholic father) have been supportive of my non drinking.
Still, canāt wait to be home tonight.
Have good days all.
