Second check in today:
Today, overall was a success. My little one got McDonald’s, chuck e cheese, and just as many gifts as Christmas. (Maybe more 
I can’t help myself) we had chocolate cake since it’s her favorite. And i am absolutely wiped! So many people. So much noise. So much chaos. And of course, so much money! But it was totally worth it!
I would have spent what I did on her birthday in less than a week when I was using. And not had money to spend on her for her birthday. I am super grateful for this change.
After an hour and 40 minutes we were all ready to go, so we gave our remaining time on the play cards to strangers who had just walked in.
I think it was a little too much (overstimulation) for her and i know it was a lot for me. I had to step outside once to breathe. But i stepped out of my comfort zone to make my baby happy. And that makes me happy.

I know I mentioned yesterday that I’ve been feeling incredibly sick and weak. it has not gotten any better but today I’m realizing how bad it is. I was listening to music and tried to sing and if I take too big of a breath I get dizzy. standing up makes the room spin. I’m not sure if I’m sick or if this is a result of eating poorly for a long time now. I called off work tomorrow and I’m going to the urgent care if I don’t feel better in the morning… while I am scared and while it is concerning, my eating disorder keeps telling me hey you’re doing a good job because you’re making yourself sick. and I keep hearing this is what you deserve this is what you deserve
Thank you! That helped(I think I did it right:crossed_fingers:
)

You had mentioned you are only eatting one meal a day. Thats likely not enough nutrition to power your body and you have low blood sugar. You may be self sabatoging by taking work off.

my meals most people probably wouldn’t consider meals anyway. it probably is low blood sugar

Hey everybody, I know I’ve been absent a couple of days. That’s normally a bad sign, but I promise I’m still sober; 3 weeks today, as a matter of fact. Trying to get away from the electronic addiction and focus on studying for the CompTIA+. My mindfulness is pathetic. I tried eating dinner at the kitchen table instead of on the couch staring at the screen. It’s a start.
Saw my buddy Theresa in prison yesterday. She’s grateful to be there. She said she’s taking parenting classes to get her kids back, and she’s sober for the first time in 20 years. I’m happy if she’s happy.
Well, I’m gonna put on some jazz and keep reading; just had to check in.
Good sober evening, fam! 
P.S. Kudos to @FleetwoodMac !!

Hey Miranda.
Did you figure it out yet?
Click the top left on your app Home Screen, The 3 lines. And then click manage. Then on the bottom right there’s a plus sign + to add another addiction.

Day 3, perhaps it’s being a bit overly ambitious but I wanna go for a month right now. I’ve done it before so I know it’s possible so I just have to make myself so busy that I don’t have time for anything else

Seems trite but try just one day at a time. I and many others find that more manageable

#Day 1580 
It was an odd day yesterday. I had a new year walk with the members of my band, now ex- band
We did a city tour trough my hometown with a guide and got to a pub afterwards to drink at 2023. And for me it was my farewell to the band as well. I hate farewells, but I did it and did it sober. Time to move on.
It is ok. I am ok.
Picture of the “Begijnhof”. It’s used to be a place where old ladies lived together in small houses and living their live protected and in the eye of God. To keep this area breating the same vibe there are only women allowed to live here on their own (above 50 years old). In the evening the door is shut and no visitors are allowed to stay over in those houses! So no man allowed
