Checking in after a weekend out of town. I spent time with my fantastic family and celebrated my nephew turning 2. I also stayed sober staying in a swanky hotel by myself.
While at dinner one night my brother’s friend passed out, fell out of our dinner booth and laid on the floor for a good minute after numerous beers (12-15) and (I found out later) lots of weed. I stayed calm and shared a bit of my sober journey with him while I drove him home. Scary stuff but it made me very happy that I’m off the sauce. I can control my alcohol intake by not having any which insures I will never be in that scenario. I wish him health and healing.
I stopped at the bar my sister works in after I got back into town. I drank 5 ice teas, spent $6 total and left when the sun went down. I was not even a little tempted.
Sorry for the swear but fuck alcohol. I had known the kid who passed out at dinner for 20+ years as an acquaintance and as soon as I saw him I knew he was in an unhealthy place. He is my age and looks 20-30 years older. His skin was gray. This weekend reinforced the knowledge that alcohol is literally poison for bodies. I’m staying cozy on the couch with pizza and lots of water on my last night off. Keep at it everyone. That stuff is garbage.

Pretty good. Still feel like this weird unfocused irritability. I’m sick of feeling this way every single day, but I’m apparently stuck with it. 
It’s been a good day over all, I just don’t feel great.

Checking in-10 days sober
I have been playing phone tag with my doctor and the pharmacy. Trying to get my medication straightened. I don’t know… It is so frustrating navigating the healthcare system. Pre-authorizations, out of network, etc. Nonetheless, I think I’m going to get my new meds tomorrow or possibly the next day. Living here in California there are just so many people, so the pharmacy runs out of medication and they don’t have my medication in stock. Sigh~
On a good note I got a call out of the blue from a therapist that I emailed. She is a Christian therapist and also does cognitive behavioral therapy. I’m really excited to meet her. I have my first therapy session with her tomorrow. I am hopeful that we can really dig deep into my issues and get myself healthy again. Stay tuned!

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 there’s no time to do anything else but commute, work and eat. And sleep a bit.
Well, there’s no time for boozing either. Although in the past I would have found time for that somehow anyhow. Never again. I’m sober and clean. And I expect the same from you all as it’s the reason we’re here and it’s 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 hasn’t been seen in the building in months. Upped the rent fee and limited their food selection even further. We’ve had five people quit in two weeks and it’s 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 it’s causing such stress to see the state of the building and the food being served to the elderly. There’s nothing that is illegal that is being done to my knowledge but it’s just taking advantage of someone in a feeble mindset. It’s an non-assisted living home meaning they should all be self reliant, yet every resident there has some form of Alzheimer’s or Dementia and can’t 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 people…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 it’s been going great. I wouldn’t have done any changes in my life if I wasn’t 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. It’s 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 it’s 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 don’t 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 you’re very proud of yourself, hold onto that feeling you deserve it. Don’t forget who you’re doing this for, shes the only one you have to impress.
