Day 321
Happy Clean and Sober New Yearā€™s eve everyone! Hope everyone is managing through this time of year okay. Its been a quiet evening here at home. Work was awful. My client AWOLed 15 min before the end of my shift. It was hectic and the situation was just not good. I ended up get ā€œscoldedā€ over not being arms distance away from her on her smoke break, yet i was shown otherwise by my coworker when she was showing me the ropes while working with her. So it was a rough day. I did up my Incident Report and have been trying to let this go all evening. I came home and was glad to see my family. We had a belated christmas dinner (turkey, veg, potatoes, gravy etc). That was soo nice. Tmrw i have to go back to work. I dont want to go but i cant afford not to go. I will do my best. Hope everyone has a good addiction free night

Had an okay day. Spent most of it cleaning. Had my usual Saturday appointment with Brian. Joe came by with a bowl of chili and was tempted to ask if that beer was still available.
But I refrained. I figure Iā€™m doing pretty well and donā€™t want to mess it up now. Might take a short nap because Iā€™m feeling strangely depressed for no reason.
Everyone have a great sober evening and New Year! :v:

Day 7, itā€™s been a decent one so far. Iā€™m exhausted from all the social things Iā€™ve had to do this week and Iā€™m at a new years party right now too. When I get home Iā€™m going to collapse and just be a hermit until school starts for me

#Day 1565 :walking_woman:
There it is: 2023.
I hoop it will be a great year. I hope the war between Russia and the Ukrain comes to an end, I hope we can do something about climat change. I hope we can take take care of the fugitives in a better way then we do right now.
All things I wish for the better but canā€™t control anyhow.

What I can control is myself.
Me living my life sober.
Being kind for myself (work in progress) and others.
Being more in the ā€œnowā€ instead of the past ore future.

Good intentions for 2023, I always make a few each year. This year I would l like to walk more en surf less on my phone.


Happy New Year all of you! :tada: In Dutch we say: Gelukkig Nieuwjaar.

Yesterday our country fired for ā‚¬110 million euros of firework to celebrate NYE. For now the counter says: 1 person died and many are wounded. The eye doctors in our country are lobbying for years to get this tradition gone.
With ā‚¬110 million euros there is so much good we could do for example for climate change.
I wish I could stop this tradition, another thing out of control and have to let go.

Within a few houres? Days? This place here is going to get crowded with newcomers. I hope we can give them all a warm welcome and a safe place to become a better version of themselves.
Letā€™s help them where we can!
Enough rambling Claudia :see_no_evil:
Have a good start of 2023 all of you! :heavy_heart_exclamation:

Have as good a day as you can friends. Sober and clean. Love.

Ā© Irene Wijnmalen, a lady I didnā€™t meet since we were in the same class in elementary school but who I found back at FB. She started photography in the last decade. And has become pretty well known for her portraits. Inspirational.

Glad we made it through to today. Iā€™m looking forward to a better year for us all. Iā€™ll be continuing therapy. Building on last yearā€™s choices. Many were good actually. I feel some pride this morning. Which is special for me, and a reason for more pride in itself.
Still a huge amount of work to do but Iā€™m moving, and generally in the right direction. Recovery is a verb. One day, one choice, one positive action at a time. Letā€™s work on loving everybody, beginning with myself/yourself. X
@everybody Congrats on making it to 2023! Thatā€™s a big feat! Be proud and keep working on yourselves.

Iā€™m really looking forward to what this year will bring.
Much love to you all x
