Day 874. Today is my Saturday and unfortunately there’s a storm up in the mountains where I go with gusts up to 55mph so I don’t think it’s safe to go there today. I’ve been having a really hard time lately and am grateful for the friends I’ve made here that I can reach out and talk to. It helps to not feel so alone. I hope everyone has a beautiful day today, love you guys

Checking in day 60 (will have two months when my bed hits the pillow sober tonight). This morning I have therapy and then heading to the gym, and then work a 12 hour shift. Should be a pretty packed day, which I’ve come to appreciate for now.
Wishing everyone a wonderful Thursday!

Today i feel so bored and just dont know what to do with myself still in bed at 1:30pm
I did get up to feed the pets and i walked out into the garden looked around took a breath of fresh air and walked back in and to bed again.
Im okay, feel okay just completely bored.
Have my beatifull furry companion who follows me and does everything i do so im guessing she is bored too …
I have no plans on moving either not until dinner time and to collect an amazon delivery from the front door 
Hope everyone is having a good sober day today.

Hi Ree!!! Thank you for such a nice post 
i really enjoy reading ur checkins. I read ur most recent one and i am sooo excited for u and how people are noticing a change in ur mood and how u look! Congratulations on ur new senior roll in nursing! My family has had alot of experience with nurses on various units in the childrens hospital as well as at home (u may have read some of this already) but i honestly think that the unit u will be on is very lucky to have u. I can usually get a good vibe from people (even over text) and theres something about ur cheery personality, bedside manner, as well as ur skills that will make u a crucial team player in these patients lives. Honestly, u will be amazing at ur new position!!

@MooseTracks Congratulations on your 60 days 
@Brl81 38 days is amazing !! Congratulations.
@LinM Welcome to the community and congratulations on your 6 days
@Butterflymoonwoman Im doing good thank you how are you?
Yes thats exactly what i have coming stuff toward xmas, my sons bday is 3 days after yours on the 7th of dec and i like to be ready for it all takes the stress away.
To be honest i have everything done at home, where its just me and my son (20yrs) it is pretty easy to keep on top of everything, i often find myself moving things around and dusting stuff that doesnt need it. Im just being extra lazy today. Using my healing tooth as an excuse to just do nothing
This past year i have totally been using amazon alot, not sure if it was another addictionnforming or just me getting on top of stuff id neglected.
Iv calmed down a bit now with it but xmas stuff will be coming over the next few weeks and even though i know what is in the packages i still get excited!!
They send you a catalogue iv never had that i hope it had some good discounts for you !!
Thanks for asking how i am, i am actually okay today apart from being lazy 
Hope your day is going well

It improves the freestyle technique…
I used the one from my training partner including hand paddles and it’s a very cool floating feeling!
It is usually recommended for better position,
if there are problems with sinking legs (that I don’t have) but especially for isolated arms training.
For me both “toys” are made
for a nice floating

I have met people here who have 20 or 30 years of sobriety and also started careers in substance abuse recovery to help others. Very inspriing indeed.
