Some power and energy sent to you from my side, girl!
Please donāt forget to take care of yourself too
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

Have a lovely day
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.
Chceckin in day 206. Have a good one yall
Your right we are alltogether i agree so much its nice to know were all in this together.
I always say here the powerfullness of us all being so supportive of eachother and being able to receive support and just be here together i cant put it into words its just such a powerfull feeling and the impact is so positive.
Youāve finished your Christmas shopping already?
Do you have an extraordinary calendar in Florida?
I hope the repairs arenāt 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 itās still there, itās 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 Iād check in. Iām wide awake at 3am and bored and lonely. I have a very bad feeling Iām 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 thatās such a bad idea. Drinking is never the solution to anything. Itās just a very temporary escape from the stuff weāre facing and you and me know perfectly well where weāll be if we do give in to addictionās lies. Itās good youāre here Mark. One day, one hour, one minute at a time when needed. Youāre not alone.
I started my AA ācareerā with the same meeting. It was there for me, when I woke up at strange times, because of the early detoxification.
I know. Itās 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 donāt expect a different result; I know how itās 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. Thereās 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 donāt need to escape no more. For me itās 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.
Iām 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 itās 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
195, checking in.
Iāve frequently heard that too. My other addictive behavior is that I seem to be a compulsive spender. I feel like going to Walmart and buying stuff for the apartment. I suppose thatās better than drinking. I need more people in my life. Not just here, but I mean near me. My neighbor comes by frequently, and so does my MH team, but I donāt really have anyone.
Day 890 clean and sober. Got outside yesterday for an easy 6.5 mile walk in nature and boy did it make me feel better. Today is Monday for me and thatās ok. I hope everyone has an amazing day, love you guys!
