Coffee. One more late shift and then a 3 day personal weekend yay! I feel Iām climbing out of a little funk I was in. Thanks to this place, and also thanks to work where I had a very nice talk with the group of clients Iām responsible for. Sometimes my training as a nurse in combination with my experience as an addict works so well. Just sometimes thereās real contact and I see growth. Makes me feel glad and proud to do the work I do (I work in a detox facility btw).
I could never have done this work would I not have been sober and clean for some time now. And worked my ass off on my personal journey of discovery after I became sober and clean. One day at a time. Have as good a day as you all can friends. Love from Buena Vista CO, three years ago today.
@AEGFletcher Maybe itās time for a change of scene? A change of activity? I discovered hiking as an alternative to the cycling I already did. Love it. Just an example. We can grow weary and tired of things. It happens. Good it gave you so much in the passed years. And congrats on 49 days of freedom.
@dani_x Just keep going one day at a time and youāll never be stopped. Congrats on two days. Weāre in this together.

Tonight I saw my first ever sober concert. I got to see Ani Difranco perform and it was a lot of fun. Iāve been to many concerts in my days but never a concert sober.
I ran into a lot of people I knew. Some I stopped to chat with but most I didnāt. I gave myself permission to be shy in a situation that could have been overwhelming and it turned out for the best.
I also saw a few people that I knew but have never really liked. Drinking me would have gone up to say hi to be nice, sober me uses my time more wisely. I wished them well in my head and didnāt fake a conversation.
Tonight I respected my limits, relied on a truly kind friend for support, stood in a crowd and didnāt feel the need to escape and was entertained by someone whose music Iāve admired for decades. Here is to many more sober social situations. Iām learning that the first one is the most awkward but if I respect myself and my feelings it can be fun.

I know this feeling and being afraid, that when I start with something I will get bored. Itās really mean, because one canāt enjoy things just the way they are.

Checking in! I think I said my days wrong yesterday haha 
Anyway, 36 days sober and starting day 37.
I didnāt eat so great last night, so woke up craving a really unhealthy breakfast. Took some time to center myself and made a nutritious breakfast I enjoy. Feeling a little better but tired. Off work today so planning some good exercise, household chores, and a couple things off the to do list.

Day 661, approaching the devils number although I believe there is also a more positive meaning
Worked my first two hours today. My internal reintegration is in another part of the company I used to work. Some are really eager to get me back there. Really positive, but have to guard my boundaries and stick to the 2 times 2 hour per week. Itās a nice assignment and it was good to be among my colleagues, who are quit new to me.
After getting back I finished some things in the home office, this evening a friend is helping with picking up a desk which doesnāt fit in my car. Itās a tennis friend, first time I asked him for help. So getting somewhat out of my comfort zone, which feels good. Go to the shop to cook a nice dinner. Approximately two weeks no microwave dinner or take-away.
Medication seems to work, the edges are somehow of my thoughts on my trauma. They are less on the front. So geus the psychiatrist knows what he is doing, since I still feel quit natural and not like a zombie I was afraid of. Would be better without meds, but it is what it is.
Which you all a great day
