That’s a great idea. Treating yourself to a new tablet is a great way to reward yourself for all your hard work!!

Thats good your setring the intention to go, i brought my costume and had it for months before i actually went, it took awhile to build up the courage and somedays i dont want to step outside into society but your get there when your ready and dont make yourself feel bad for not going 
you know your going to get back into it at your own pace.
I was over weight alot and that made me not confident to go at all then i looked in the mirror and knew i had to do something and many days i wanted to go but i didnt feel confident but then a day would pop up where i had the confidence in myself and i would go and eventually more of those days popped up the more i went.
I still have times where im not regular at getting there.

Day 38 no substances
Day 167 no self harm
Day 1 ( a few hours away from day 2) working on regular eating
I am home from work an hour early. Nobody knew I was going to be off (including me) and I could have done anything in that hour. But I chose to come home to my kids. That is a big change I see in myself. It is one that I am proud of. And I don’t like to be in the habit of bragging on myself, but really, I’m so different than i was a month and a half ago.
So far today Ive only eaten a small amount. But i think I’ll have dinner with my kids. And incorporate all major food groups.
I hope everyone is having a good day 
sending out love and joy

As a knitter, I am right there with you. It’s the best therapy and the best meditation. I need to get back into it soon - thanks for the inspiration!

Watched a Thich Nhat Hanh video,(Love him, RIP) which set my mood to calm and mindful. 
Stacked wood for our house and for an Elder.
Done the dishes and phoned Loved one’s.
Had to sit with my disabilities and trauma memories and just accept them with Peace and Love and practice Forgiveness. 
Refrained from talking shit while listening to people talk shit, which would have went absolutely in the wrong direction.
So I sang and drummed until I could sing no more, it always clears my emotional energy and makes me feel light and content.
I will walk my sweet doggy very soon.
Then play some guitar.
PEACE

Gracias. It hasn’t been too bad, like regular sniffles. My Man however was running a temp of 101.5°F / 38,6°C. He’s a bit better now. My future FIL was well enough to do a food and pharmacy run LOL.

Thank u for saying this. I was actually shocked at her comment. This is the first time she ever said this to me. I was pretty taken back by it actually. Even if my situation was the cause for her emotional distress which lead to a poor relationship with my dad, doesnt excuse the fact that she actually had a part to play in getting the help she needed to work on those emotions

Hello everyone! It has been quite a while since over been on, but wanted to pop in. Still going strong at 873 days! I finally got myself a big gift for quitting drinking and more recently (about 6 months ago) quitting smoking cigarettes. I got a Can Am Ryker and it is very fun to ride! I would be lying if I said it’s been smooth. A lot of challenging days, and some crazy stuff here and there…I have a complicated situation. Through it all though I have been able to remind myself that I didn’t want to go back to that life and stay on path. I hope the rest of you have been able to add those sober days up too!

Good evening, everybody. Had an interesting day. Didn’t start until noon. See, I was up until about 3:00am watching Netflix (Don’t Look Up is great) and my mood kept getting worse. I thought maybe it was lack of sleep but I wanted to keep watching. So God decided to turn off my Internet (seriously; it just stopped and wouldn’t reset) and I went to sleep pretty late.
Afternoon was good. I ate, Joe came over to visit, did some cleaning, etc. Now I’m feeling all squirrelly again. Beer store is only 2 blocks away and trying not to think about it, so I came here instead to see how everyone else is doing.
How ya doin’?

Evening Check In
Day 277
Today has been pretty stressful. That mixed with anxiety about my son and potential illness, is really getting to me. Im glad tho that i kept him home bcuz i got an email today about a respiratory illness outbreak at his school. Oh my 
so ive been checking his temp etc to see any signs of illness. Thankful for our nurses who come in at night who can help watch over him. I feel like i need something today but not sure what. I still feel like i need it. But i still cant figure it out. I think sleep is in order. Im sure rest will help.
Hope everyone has a good day/night!

Day 38! Still loving this journey, my anxiety levels are so much lower without alcohol, and my sleep patterns are getting better and better. I started a new job this week and I think it’s going to be the most perfect fit for this phase in my life. I’m having a hard time keeping up with everyone on this app, but I’m still rooting for y’all and so grateful for this app!
