Day 87ā¦ā¦ seems so quick and so longā¦ My sponsor told me the other day to think of ābeingā rather than doing. She went on to say sobriety isnāt a goal. No end date. Interesting? So I canāt go to college for 4 years, earn my degree and move on? Definitely a change in my thinking. Hereās to another day!

EARNED my 10 day chip today. Been running more, eating (somewhat) healthier and definitely taking in WAY less calories per day without beer. Lost some excess weight already. Woke up feeling the best Iāve felt in a long time today. Itās going to be a great week/month/year/decade/eternity. I hope everyone has the amazing day that you all have earned.

Quite a long story. Very short version: build in 1681 as an old peopleās home, and has been in use as such untill 1999. In 2009 a dependency of the Saint Petersburg palace/museum The Hermitage opened here. Earlier this year the ties with Russia were severed due to the war in Ukraine. At this moment the building is home to three museums in one: The Amsterdam History Museum (itās own housing being renovated), The Museum of the mind (art by people with mental health problems), and the Amsterdam Hermitage which does itās own exhibitions. Saw some nice stuff today.

I went down the hole again. Week long relapse. Coped in a wrong manner with all the stress.
Failed my driving test. Neglecting my hygiene. Neglecting my home life. Ruining my sleeping rhythm. I fucked up. Lost ā¬500+ by being neglectful with my administration. Work is too stressful. School is too stressful.
It seems like life is shit right now, but when Iām looking at it all, the problem is simply stress and my lack of coping skills when it comes to stress.
So I asked my store manager if my hours could be reduced to 28 hours instead of 37. At least temporarily. Sheās going to look into possibilities.
Once Iāve caught up with school I might ask if they can be increased to 33, but for now itās important I get my rest and let go of the stress.
Life shouldnāt be 100% work, especially not when youāre 19. I need to allow myself some rest and joy.

Today marks day 1 again. I stopped checking in and journaling after a week or so last time. I need to keep up with those daily rituals to keep strong.
