Day 853. Went and saw the original 1978 “Halloween” in the theater last night, super cool. The theater by my house is playing old school horror movies once a night and it’s pretty awesome. I have a pass so it only costs .50 to go. I hope you all have a wonderful day today, love you guys! :sunglasses::metal:t2:

Get well soon! Your injury sounds quite hurtful.

Sandman on netflix, female drunk single on disney+ or ring of power on amazon prime are worth watching.

Checking in. Day 38 down, on day 39. Really tired this morning despite feeling like a slept well. Going to let myself rest a bit before trying to pull together energy for the gym. I work tonight and feeling all is well on the sobriety front.

Starting with a new therapist tomorrow. I had one for about a year and a half but kind of felt we did as much as we could. There was some stuff I wasn’t comfortable opening up about, so I found one who seems like a better match (and I’m telling myself to be open no matter what). Nervous/looking forward to that.

:high_brightness: Morning Check In :high_brightness:
8 Months
This little gem happened this morning!! Even though I was having a hard time yeaterday, I slept well, and am ready to take on the day! As positive of a person that I am, the odd time I do feel like “going inside my shell” and taking a break from things… but honestly what good would that do? The reason why things are soo good today (with all its ups n downs) is BECAUSE I am clean and sober and doing the work to stay here. I know where isolation gets me. It gets me inside my head. Quite frankly my mind is like bad neighbourhood… I should never go there alone lol I do have purpose and I can achieve my dreams (once I figure out what they are), but I gotta stay in the moment also. I cant be having 1 foot in the past and 1 foot in the future bcuz ill be pissing all over today and thats what happened yesterday. No more comparing myself to others. Im perfect in my own way and my HP created me for a purpose. Theres a reason why I went thru what I did. Instead of me getting down and stuck inside a pity party, I’m going to get out and help others, be positive, grateful for where I am and all I have, connected to my HP, and fucking enjoy life. I absolutely did not work this hard to get 8 months clean and sober to be miserable. Recovery allows me to happy, joyous, and free :sparkles: So im sticking around. U guys are stuck with me haha
Hope everyone has an addiction free day!
Love u guys!

Day 49- more bad news about the RV. We are just hemorrhaging all our savings and I’m really trying not to have a meltdown. My husband went and got wine last night and I’m glad he only got a single can for himself and not a bottle because my brain was already justifying having a glass when I heard he was headed to the liquor store. It was really loud and arguey in my head. Sober brain is stubborn and strong but drunk brain is a sneaky bitch.
