Way to go on reporting that woman. Its not her responsibility to discipline a child like that. Keep reporting her or if things get worse, report her to someone above the woman u spoke to. Im glad ur liking ur job tho. Honestly, from what i do know about u and the amazing person u are, i truly do think ur a perfect fit for this job. U have such compassion and understanding and empathy for others. Sounds like a lot of responsibility for u now tho. Im always proud of you more n more each day, when i see ur days increase
24 days alcohol free! Hope everyone is having a fabulous start to the week
Day 332 AF
Whatās good, fam.
Another busy work day. Just got back from a long walk. Gonna try excersising some more before crashing out. Read some pages from the AA book. Almost 11 months sober in a few days. Timeās flyin. Gotta keep doing what Iām doing, and I think Iāll be okay.
Thank you all for being here. Goodnight and take care!
2099 days. I havenāt checked in here on this thread for a while. My son had a foot surgery last week and I was also rear-ended in my car by a hit-and-run driver, so it was a crummy week. I am having trouble snapping out of it this week and being productive enough. I am going to a meeting with my sponsor tomorrow which should help, and have reached out by text to a couple of AA friends. I might have to just live with less productivity until I feel better.
Hi fam,
Checking in on day 209 AF. Rough night at work full of frustrations that required some emotional regulation skills. I find that it gets easier to deal with frustration and anger the farther behind I put the booze.
Iām tired. I have a big professional test coming up and gathering all the piddly requirements for certification is tiring. Re-submitting is even more tiring. Iām not good at setting aside time for hard things, like studying for this monster test, so Iām feeling a little pressure. In this instance pressure is good. It tells me what I need to do.
I know that if Iām tired, frustrated, angry or procrastinating the absolute worst thing I could do is reach for a drink. Today may be hard, but Iām doing it sober. Goodnight sober peeps. Keep at it. Letās put in the work and make it worth it.

Coffee on the train. How time flies. Workday today. Iām good. Iām bloody busy but this way of life beats my old addicted lifestyle any minute of any day. Stuff to do, places to go, people to meet, life to discover. One day at a time.
Have as good a day as you all can friends. Make it sober and clean or nothing will come of it. Love from my commute.
We can only do life sober. Youāre doing it! Weāre doing it. ODAAT. All success with learning and everything friend. Hugs.
Thanks Menno.
Step 1. Stay sober
Step 2. Study
Step 3. Repeat above steps until success.
Nice to see you back, but Iām sorry to hear about your week.
Congrats on 2999. Thatās a big number!
Youāre right, the worst thing you could do is reach for a drink so Iām glad that you reached out here.
Youāll get through thisā„ļø
I can tell Iām moving in the right direction because now I think that adding a hangover or an impaired evening sounds truly awful on top of life stressors.
Iām learning to rest when Iām tired, not quit. Thanks for reaching out!
Day 2. Hey good morning world
Its 07.00 here in th UK. I have a week off work but need to go there to collect my this morning.

#Day 1456
Last day before getting my nose pierced!
In some things Iām like an infant (and I like it that way). If I look forward to something I count the days (ore better nights of sleep) before the activaty. I also ramble about it every day
So everybody around me know about my piercing appointment, time, with piercing, etc.
And I keep bother them with pointing at my noise telling them itās just the last couple of days to see it ānakedā
Thatās me!
Glad I let that part of me be there and I even cherish that. I am super serious most of the time so I need that part of me as well. Not everyone likes it, but I do and thatās what counts!
I havenāt told you the exact time havenāt I?
Tomorrow at 13.00
1 night of sleep to go.
Today? Work and tonight seeing all of my kids. They come home to have dinner and chill with their mom and dad So happy that they like to make time for us. Proud of the people they become. Having a study, jobs and a place to live.
Gratefull
Exactly!
Both cool and both we can do it!
Have a great day! I have to get dressed now, still in my ugly onesie here
Work is waiting!
Bye!
Oh exciting times Claudia. You are even more C L. I will look forward to seeing a picture of your new nose all dressed up.

I will be checking in again tonight. Speak later.
Hope ou all have. A super amazing day and remember. You got this and you can beat this!!!

Sober, sore from the gym and a pretty tired. But I made two types of brownies yesterday, and thatās made the night a little better here.
Hope youāre all well today
