Thought it was a pretty cool number to check in with.
On the mend, still not 
but getting better. Hoping I can find some energy to go outside this afternoon.
Just found out they have a replacement for me at work, which was quick. I was hoping I’d have a chance to train someone up so the next 8 work days will be for training up and handing over my role. It’s bitter sweet. But I’m really happy to be moving on. Just scared. I hope I made a good choice, I hope my new role challenges me in all the ways I’m hoping.
Anyway thanks for reading my check in- stay sober

day 262 of no self harm
not struggling with any self harm thoughts but still not feeling great. mostly feeling out of control in terms of my eating. I keep eating less and less and I don’t know how to stop. I don’t allow myself to use a scale, but my mom keeps making comments about me seeming to lose weight and my pants do feel loser. but my messed up brain sees it as a good thing even if I’m starving myself to do it. I’m scared but want to fall into it at the same time

Day 6
Well hello hangover free Saturday morning.
I spent my Friday night working out, eating healthy food and playing with my dog so a pretty wholesome evening by all accounts 
.
I did however get a phone call from one of my “mates” at 2am this morning asking me for phone numbers so he can pick up, he knows I’m staying sober and clean yet still…. He rang.
I’m annoyed he did this but also on the other hand it’s made me realise how incredibly grateful I am I made the choice to be sober.
This is the life for me.
Ranting again sorry 
. Have a sober day everyone

21 days Congratulations, thats huge ! 
I think its great your meal prepping and spending that time with your kids too.
Yes the sleep does get better definitely.
In my first few months i lived on AA zoom meeting, its called the 24hr AA marathon meeting. It really helped me to fall asleep listening to others share their experiences, id turn my audio and camera off so no one knows im there, you dont have to i just prefer this way.
Day and night its always there and got me through so many tough moments even today i still fall asleep to it.
If you wanted to give it a try the zoom code is

Thank you for sharing!
Some of this is also true for me and it helps to know, that we are altogether in this struggle. To support each other is in my opinion paramount.

You’ve finished your Christmas shopping already? 
Do you have an extraordinary calendar in Florida? 
I hope the repairs aren’t too expensive! 
All the best for your results about the knot!

Have as good a day as you can all. Love.
Pic is the small playground where I smoked my first joint 43 years ago. Strange it’s still there, it’s just a gap caused by demolition of some houses in one of the most expensive parts of town. Maybe it is to remind me. Never again. I came by there by coincidence the other day.

Hi all. Just thought I’d check in. I’m wide awake at 3am and bored and lonely. I have a very bad feeling I’m going to drink tomorrow. Later today, actually. The store opens in less than 6 hours. Anyway, have a great sober morning/evening!

That gives you six hours at least to think about why that’s such a bad idea. Drinking is never the solution to anything. It’s just a very temporary escape from the stuff we’re facing and you and me know perfectly well where we’ll be if we do give in to addiction’s lies. It’s good you’re here Mark. One day, one hour, one minute at a time when needed. You’re not alone.

I started my AA “career” with the same meeting. It was there for me, when I woke up at strange times, because of the early detoxification.

I know. It’s just that sometimes even a temporary escape is what I feel like. You know how they say that insanity is expecting a different result? Well, I don’t expect a different result; I know how it’s going to end. My problem is I get these moments where the outcome is acceptable for some temporary relief.
Thank you for being here.

We all feel like that at times. I do for sure. The grind grinds on ruthlessly and sometimes I want and need it to stop. There’s other ways, better ways, more fun ways too to escape for a little bit. Of course people also say we have to create our own world from which we don’t need to escape no more. For me it’s both, creating a better world for myself and finding other ways to temporarily escape from it. And being absolutely 200% sure using any substance is never going to help me. Or indulge in any addictive behaviour whatsoever either.

Day 49
Forgot to check in yesterday because I had an exhausting day and I was tired. I had a panic attack and the worst thing when having this is the attention you get from your coworkers. At least for me.
We had to let another coworker come to us who finished the examinations that I had to do. I went home.
I’m now doing vagus nerve massaging and I start to take herbal medicine to help with this inner tension.
I made an appointment with my Dr for early December to talk about this.
I have an Idea what causes this, I think it’s a hormonal imbalance that has never been really checked. I only feel this way before my period starts. Never after!
Well, going to get the medicine now and do some grocery shopping.
See you later friends 
Stay strong
