@JesstheMess13 Hi there! :wave: Welcome aboard! :hugs:

Day 24
It was cold and drizzling all day. Great day to stay inside. Got restless and went out for a bit. Lost my umbrella somehow. :frowning_with_open_mouth: My bus pass expires tomorrow, and I have no way to get another one. My Employment Specialist canā€™t even help me, and thatā€™s part of her job. Good news, though. I did get a ride to my doctorā€™s appt in Lawrence on the 25th. Still have to take the Greyhound home, but itā€™s much easier this way.
And I remembered one more science project I forgot to put in my list. Increasing the yield of ethanol from crops for fuel, and increasing fuel efficiency, all with other natural occurring substances. Unfortunately, the only way to test it requires me to get some Everclear. :face_with_raised_eyebrow:
Anyway, sticking to sleep schedule. See yā€™all tomorrow morning! :v:

So, its been 11 days without alcohol or other substancesā€¦ I will say itā€™s taken a bit more willpower these last few days as Iā€™ve encountered some situations where I would usually drink. Itā€™s weird to observe my thoughts during these times, they try desperately to talk me into making the decision to drink, but then another part of my mind will work to stop the decision. Itā€™s giving good vs evil vibes. The arguments are quite convincing, but more than anything I crave the relaxing feeling Iā€™m at least perceiving a drink will provide me with. Somehow Iā€™ve made it though these mental battles and stayed sober. I tried to just ride out the craving and not react to it. I dont think I wouldve drank more than a cooler at any of these times, but that just sets off the whole charade of drinking one or two, until that one time I drink until I cant drink anymore. Itā€™s so risky. The downside to sobriety for me is how bored I get. I need some hobbies. I guess its better to be bored, than strung out, having anxiety attacks, and flirting with suicideā€¦

Anywho, I thought I would check in and say hello. I hope everyone finds a sliver of peace tonight. Rest easy, friends.

#Day 1583 :walking_woman:
A lot in my head lately, but in a good way I guess.
Talked it over with a co worker. Itā€™s good to vent about it and look at the different sides of it.
Today? Work.


Picture made yesterday, it was a cold walk :cold_face:
Bye for now :raising_hand_woman:

7am here and the house is quiet.

10 days down and feeling good for it.

Todays plan is: short run into work, work, watch the football this evening, do not drink.

I hope everyone has a good one x
