Rob…your sobriety journey just inspires me and makes me happy. A new car…something that you don’t have to worry about crashing and losing and getting impounded. Just enjoying!

Yup, cleaning is a constant process. The car is somewhere I accumulate things, and needs a vacuum anyway.

Morning Check In
Day 209
Woke up feeling groggy and tired… but nothing some coffee cant fix lol Just started my shift at work and waiting for my client to come back from his overnight family visit. Life is good! I prayed this morning. I have been slacking alot on morning prayer. I do pray at some point thruout the day, but morning prayer is where its at! I need that guidance from my HP 1st thing so that my mind is set on the right path and that I remember my powerlessness over drugs. If I dont pray in the morning, my self will slowly begins to take over and I start running the show… which is never good. Anyway, I pray that everyone has an addiction free day! Grateful for u all

Thank you 
I haven’t been on here for very long but I have noticed how much you encourage, support and build people up on here no matter what you’re dealing with.
You are those things and you’re also very thoughtful and kind, an angel and you deserve all the good things Lady

Because the Turkish people secretly light them back on to keep the tourists coming? 
No, it has something to do with the gas coming out of the ground.

If I don’t have medication, my negative emotions are extreme. Without negative emotions in the first place I wouldn’t have extreme negative emotions.
Fact is, I am overwhelmed. I am once again forgetting what my best is. I believe my best is perfection when it’s not.
Where some people ignore it when their body is telling them to stop, I do it when it comes to my mind.
When I’m unable to do my homework, it’s not because I’m undisciplined, it’s because my brain is telling me to take it easy.
I never had a lot of responsibility. I’ve never made much homework, only an essay every so often.
But now I went from having little responsibility to being a manager of ≈ 40 employees in just three months.
I went from no homework to a shit ton of homework.
I went from schoolwork being organised for me to having to organize everything myself.
My mind is a muscle I have to train to become stronger. And the level I’m performing at is not yet sufficient for my college course.
I need to allow myself to take breaks so that my brain can acclimate to the bigger need for output. This will mean not being able to keep up with school for now. But as long as I keep going at a pace my brain can keep up with and I make sure I’ll miss only two deadlines this trimester, I will pass.
@Butterflymoonwoman @Mephistopheles Dana and Tomi, thanks for your conversation about overtraining your body. Without that perspective I would’ve probably not realised this myself. And it would probably would have lead to a burnout or it would have lead to me giving up. Both would’ve caused mental anguish. Your conversation helped me a lot more than you’d have probably thought.

Day 330 AF
Good morning, fam.
Busy day yesterday. Chilled with the kiddos, cleaned the apartment, watched baseball and the Diaz fight.
It’s football Sunday. Gonna try watching a couple of games today. I remember getting super hammered during football season, but not gonna happen. Don’t gotta worry about waking up hungover on a Monday. Everything is good here. ODAAT.
Have a great day/night everyone! Stay safe and take care.

Thanks I really needed to hear that because I think I’m too hard on myself. I still think I could have handled it a bit better but I do think I handle it better than most people would in that situation and yes she was trying my patients that much and yes I had been patient over and over again but I still hate getting frustrated and saying things sometimes in exaggeration like “I’ve asked you 500 million times !” it’s kind of childish. Anyways, I understand where she’s coming from because I have anxiety too and I try to be patient with her but I do feel a bit better about it today and I really appreciate your response.
