Have a beautiful day today 
Yesterday is over and now everyone knows she has to “be within arms reach” so it’s a learning experience. I’m sorry she ran off when you were her caregiver, but it wasn’t your fault. She made a decision to run off. It could have been anyone she ran from.
Its a new year and a new beginning. You could have some coffee and relax a little before you go in maybe? I’m sending lots of love your way

I am still clean from substances. And had a glass of sparkling juice instead of champagne. Even though my doc isn’t alcohol. I’ll hope for a good new year. And hope you have an amazing year too

I think that was a smart choice. Way to go! Ive never had an issue with alcohol either but i do know that if i put any substance into my body, it releases my addiction all over again. So i also just avoid it. Uv made some big changes during ur recovery journey! This is one of them id say

Day 0 - AF
Day 0 - free from toxic relationships
Day 0 - imperfect regular eating
2 months Milestone - no online shopping
I relapsed with everything important yesterday.
I drank.
I got in contact.
I binged food, because I underate before.
Here I am, back to zero to stay focused.
2 months no online shopping.
Will shop few things very focused and planned, that I really need in the meantime (Yoga Leggings, swim googles, fins (lost one in the atlantic)) and go on with this challenge afterwards.
Happy new year to all of you 
Peace!

I stopped using my vape at midnight, and I’ve been fine without it, so I’m pleased about that. I also haven’t binged today so far.
Someone has smashed through my rear windowscreen and stolen my telescopic wheelchair ramps. Very annoying. Yesterday it was anger that I was getting waves of, today it is waves of annoyance at myself for not taking them out of my car and storing them in the garage, it’s supposed to be a secure car park as well. Argh. It’s costing me £115 to replace the windowscreen, and the value of the ramps was £95. It’s being fitted on the 3rd.
I’ve mainly rested with my cats today, having a few aches and pains that are limiting what I can do. I managed to shower and trim my facial hair though so I’m feeling pleased about that.

How do folks. 22 days sober for me and here is 2023 lets see what it brings cos 2022 really kicked me in the shins a few times.
In june my best friend of 32yrs was stabbed multiple times on her own door step by a crazed woman her husband had been having a 3yr affair with unbeknown to her. The trial for attemped murder is this year at some point this shook me to my core um just great full she survived. Then sadly in december i lost my beloved gran in my 42 yrs she is the first family member ive lost aside from pets so this really again shook me and the greif hit like nothing ive ever felt. I did slip on that day but since ive been sober and its helping me. Ive decided to try a month off chocolates, sweets and puddings cos ive been going ape on them since been going sober and im 3 days into that. Anyway ill shut up now lol catch ya later

Day 58 sober
A bit grouchy
Is there really more good then bad in the world
Is the world so messed up it’s cool to be mean?
Like to me, it’s cool to be nice and have boundaries; not be mean
I ligit have like 4 friends
Just me and my wife mostly
Everyone that just to be my friend were cut off for a reason. And no1 wants to be at fault for their character defects which is so damn frustrating.
I guess it’s my location?
Anyway
My fault for being friends with arsholes
I’m going to be on guard today

This is awesome! I grew up in Maine USA and sauna and snow plunge (pool or ocean if you were well off) was a standard. Spent many a high school evening warming in the sauna, cooling in the snow. Truly a magical experience. Thanks for the reminder. Merry 2023!
