#Day 1445 :seedling:
Like I said yesterday I looked back at where I stand these days and where I wanna go to.
Want to work at my sugar intake. Sugar is my replacement for the alcohol. In the beginning of my recovery I ate loads of it. That is not the case anymore, but I want to cut the sugar out completely. So again I made a daycounter for it and going to join @Dazercat sugartread again.
Also need yo do something about my whole in my hand…I’m buying to much stuff I actually do not need 😵‍💫 I know how that works in my brain…dopamine release and stuff.
I replace one addiction for another :thinking:
So 3 daycounters now :see_no_evil:
Hope it’s not too much, but my main priority stays with keeping myself sober.
Have to try, nothing changes if nothing changes

It’s 3am. Can’t sleep.

Ready for the 3 day weekend. Much needed. Planning to take the fam to the waterpark this Saturday. It should be fun.

Have a great day/night everyone!

Hello and happy Friday everyone. I’ve read a lot of posts I can relate to. I’ve finally strung together a handful of days again and feel strong heading into the weekend.

I quit my job on Wednesday. It was a new position helping families in the waiting room at a hospital, and the management just didn’t think through the process very well. They’ve had volunteers doing this role for years, but wanted someone there consistently to improve service. Only trouble was that they kept all the volunteers, so we were stumbling over each other in meeting families and connecting them with physicians after surgery. It was just ridiculous. I shared suggestions for improving things - like move the volunteers to different roles - but my boss didn’t want to upset any of the volunteers. So instead, we annoyed family members with too much attention and created tension rather than alleviate it in the waiting room.

I feel good about my decision to leave - especially knowing it came from a place of sobriety and common sense.

I hope you all have a good weekend. My husband and I are going to an Irish festival in Kansas City where I’ll enjoy some non-alcoholic drinks and lots of live music.

Yes I’m aware of that thank you :see_no_evil: That’s why being sober keeps my nr 1 priority. I think the sugar and buy stuff is one of my replacement. So I wanna find a healthier strategy. Do not know yet wich one. For now it is keeping myself busy with painting the walls :sunglasses:
