Haha nevermind. I brew mine for 20 hours. 12 hours is fine without dilution 
but 20 hour brew has to be. Hmm. Now I’m gonna look into why mine says to dilute and yours doesn’t ( I’m a coffee nerd 
)

I hope the rest of the day turns around for you.
Sending you love and healing hugs 
I know we hear it all the time ‘one day at a time’
And ‘just for today’ it took a while for it to click in my mind how that works but now i use it for lots of stuff daily in my life, especially my mental health i tell my self its ‘just for today’ and it helps to look at just the day in front of me.

No I didn’t drink, but the day was still horrible.
Now I’m home, time for me, to eat and relax.

Coming back home from work by bike. I enjoyed the fresh air after this long day. I am getting mad of my boss, I asked for more money more than 1 week ago and no reply yet. I am hoping, that this isn’t a bad sign.

I found this online and admittedly I do usually keep it going a full 24 hours but the brewer I bought suggested 20 hours…
I’m gonna go look at 12 hour brewers vs 24 hour ones and see if there’s a difference in the grind or something
This is what I found on Google

For me it’s like finding a piece of puzzle I wasn’t even looking for.

Wow thatz crazy! I know mine dose suggest a courser ground coffee but i dont always use that bcuz its more expensive. The fine grind is okay but its bitter i find. Thanks for the info! Im going to try for a 20 hour steep

Struggling hardcore today.
Need to leave my job and find something that doesn’t trigger me to want to smoke.
I reset my 30 days this weekend but proud I made it that far. Any little bit is progress.

I have so much free coffee it’s crazy. I get a free pound every week and i drink as much as I want while I work so I don’t go through the coffee i have at home anywhere near fast enough. French press grind is best for cold brew so grinds don’t make their way into your cup but it’s not the worst thing to use a fine grind
I sent you a message. Forgot to ask first 
sorry
Exactly! And your message reminded me of that

Ok I made the day…
But have to reset the timer for
“imperfect regular eating” to day 0!
After this night of destroying thoughts,
morning with tears and hopelessness,
I hurried to work and made my job!
I dissociated during work because of my boss doing too much bullshit decisions and nonsense. No more feeling my body in the afternoon …
I binged (outing):
1 package of fat reduced chips
1 package of haribo vampires
Breakfast and lunch was a protein porridge with banana each. Not too bad, but I will reset because there is a direct line between my emotional setting, dissociation and binging.
After all… Still sober. 
Will have a swim against 8 pm with funny equipment of cause and maybe a little Omlette as post workout dinner. 
Hugs

I was able to relax. I ate something yummy, did read and now I’ll do some stretching.
After that: shower and bed.
I’m thankful for this place here

I am feeling accomplished and pleased with myself. I did all the cleaning tasks I set for myself today, all that’s left to do tomorrow is the hoovering and vaxing then it’s going to feel really good in here again. I always forget how good it feels.
I’ve watched 4 whole episodes of Stranger Things today! I’ve only got 2 episodes left now, already feel like watching them tonight to find out what happens, as the back-story is being told
I invested I’m some thermal socks bcuz my feet are always like blocks of ice, best decision ever.

I have been with my group for 6 yrs now and I absolutely love the girlz. We have 8 characters throughout California and one in AZ. We do monthly events and one yearly event. Its all girlz with every now and then a COED. Outside of out club rides we do get together and do other pickup rides or outings together.
It’s just hard for me to get out with taking care of my special needs brother, but when i get out it’s the best THERAPY EVER!!!

Wish i can recover that quickly too. Although I really never let the season or time change bother me.
Good on you for getting some chores done! I am happy to hear my post helped. I have made myself a routine of one to two chores for each day of the week. That way i dont get overwhelmed but my house stays clean. Then there are things I do everyday. I make my bed, put clothes in the laundry basket and wash the dishes after dinner. Bigger chores get spread out through the week.
I have watched all of Stranger Things and I absolutely loved it!

That sounds amazing. Our group was like 6+ and I was the only woman. I struggled a lot with it but it was still some place of home. Never found that again. Tried road bike group but that’s noooooooo fun at all.

I am sorry to hear your son had a restless night. I pray that he sleeps better tonight. I hope you get some rest my friend.
I am a big lover of good coffee. We have a coffee machine here at home and grind our own beans. We like to try different beans from different places to mix it up. On Saturdays we go and buy new beans and get a loaf of sourdough bread that has been freshly made from the local bakery.
What are you making for xmas? I have just started doing some craft again. I have begun assembling and painting miniture furniture. They come in a little prefab kit with everything you need to assemble a tiny little room. My first is a study complete with desk, chair, bookshelf and all the things that go in a study like tiny books, picture frames, nic nacs for the shelves etc…it requires alot my patience than I have right now but I do a bit each day and have completed the desk and side table and a book.
Have a beautiful sober day
