Day 207
Here with my sweet cat. She is soft and hanging out next to me.
Watching this show and i made sweet potatoes tonight, they were ok.
2 more days of work. Endless week. Fucked up my back today. Afraid to stretch it but i need to.
Edit: still havent stretched. But i was fully planning in my mind to crawl into bed after watching hours of tv, skippimg the 15 minutes of tidying. And then i thought about my post here and forced myself to set the timer anyway. And. My floor is now cleared. It feels amazing.

Day 178
Toddy has been all over the place, started good, lots of things done but now Iām so tired and feel like Iām losing steam fast. I snapped at my kids, have a headache and no down time. I was gonna get a huge task, that Iāve been waiting to do for a bit, finished this afternoon, but our old houseās wiring is getting bad and the breaker on the wall our chest freezer is plugged into started going off as of yesterday, which means itāll do it at random now indefinitely.
I was able to resolve it and find a new, viable outlet connected to another breaker section, but had to throw out some food. Iām glad it wasnāt the freezer itself though, bc having just bought a brand new fridge, my mind couldnāt take another round of this so quickly.
Lifeās been so busy lately, I havenāt made time to do my dbt workbook, meditate, workout or journal a first priority in a while. Instead Iām caught in the āeveryone else comes firstā loop right now. Iām responsible for so much and yet, i still feel like i never get enough done. Itās exhausting. Doing my best though, really.
Doesnāt help that my sleep habits are shot all to hell as well; havenāt had a good nightās sleep since i quit using. Iām well aware this is a longer karmic process of sobriety, and i still have a lot of waiting before it regulates.
Gonna talk to my med mgmnt guy next week about getting something non-habit forming and mild to maybe help it out. Plus Iām getting my meds boosted again, which should be helpful with the still prevalent strong mood swings (bipolar1 for context).
Still, life is good; really, i know it in the end. Iām just worn lately but itāll come back around if Iām patient i think.
Sorry for the scroll of text, have a good night all.

Sobriety = life = emotions = nowhere to hide. But yes your right 
Just go with the flow.

Coffee. Just put the central heating on for the first time this autumn, while we still have natural gas available and while I still can afford it. Gotta keep Luna comfortable.
Already the ninth out of twelve sessions of my experiential expertise class today. Got some homework to do for that. Starting in a minute, with my second coffee. Remaining sober and clean, one day at a time.
Have as good a day as you all can friends. Make it clean and sober as itās the only way to have a better life for us. Love from Amsterdam.

Day 839. New roommate came over last night and will be moving in Friday. Nice guy, fellow co worker but different department. This will be my third roommate in almost 2 years. Itās always uncomfortable to me at first as I have to adapt to new personalities and behaviors but whatever. I feel a depression wave starting but I know that it will pass soon. I hope you all have a great day, love you guys

Iām glad that youāre going to be interviewed for your new job.
And, I think that your decision about the valley was correct, because you said how important your sobriety is for yourself.

Day 613! My son woke up early, as he usually does, but woke up in a surprisingly good mood. Usually he is grumpy and needs his mommy, as most 2 year olds do. Tonight is my home AA groups first speaker meeting with a chili dinner happening beforehand. Should be a good time!

@SelfLove_42 I hope ur able to get some rest in today. 3 hours of sleep is rough 
@planipennia ur so welcome! I like to share all kinds of moments of recovery with u all! U all feel like family to me 
@Rockstar24777 i hope everything goes well with ur new roommate. I remember having to live with others under the same roof and i sort of always felt on edge. Sharing the kitchen and bathroom, feeling like i needed to book my time to use them haha im sure it will be more comfortable over time. Sounds like u know him tho thru work so im going to assume he isnt a complete stranger to u. Have a great day!
@soberwalker ive heard diamond paintings are so much fun and very relaxing! Ur piece looks great so far!! Hope u still enjoy doing it. I have never done one but i have a paint by number app on my phone that really relaxes me. I guess kind of the same thing in a way haha Wishing u tons of relaxation today!

Morning check in
Day 227
Had a pretty rough sleep last night. Strange dreams. Nothing horrible just unsettling. I remember waking up at one point thinking of damn chocolate 
, thinking i should go into the ktichen for a couple mini Halloween chocolate bars and how i can add that to my morning calories once i wake up. Like wtf?! Haha i didnt tho. Grateful i just fell back asleep. Just sitting here with my cup of coffee while my son has his feed. Will get him ready for school and then im off to do a lower body workout. Then to grab a smoothie and wrap from Booster Juice. Should be a good day!
Hope everyone has an addiction free day!
