@Cp25 huge congratulations on 4 months!! Way to go!
@nick_1985 thats very sweet of u! I dont like to toot my own horn but i do make some beautiful custom made ones 
@Mno honestly thoā¦ i do think ur career is much harder but i suppose every job has ita ups n downs and hard days. I try to be grateful for having a good paying job. But i absolutely agree with you 100% that we need to at least enjoy what we do to some extent. There are things that id like to potentially consider doing for a career. So i will see if i can even do an online course and start from there i honestly cant see myseld doing my current job as i get older. So i need to think about that.
@soberwalker im still praying for ur kitty. Cats are very resilient and resourceful. Dont give up hope yet 
i sooo hope he returns safe. Hugs my friend
@dryin785 Hope u have a great day! I know ur were struggling yesterday (from what i read). Hope u have a chance to get outside for abit and go for a walk around the block. Im sure that would help being outside always helps me when im in a funk

Day 295
Stopped blocking the feelings and let myself feel the waves of guilt and sorrow for the many hurts Iāve caused my husband and kids, and the rocky, awful road I put them through.
I had to take responsibility for these actions and accept the fact that Iām not getting better being on guard or holding off feeling the uncomfortableness of these choices. I should feel that. Theyāre allowed and should be able to call me out on those things and get the time and space and accountability from me that they deserve.
Minimizing and rose-colored glasses are going to have to go to hell at this point.
I needed to keep going through this set of feelings after pushing off for so long, and itās uncomfortable knowing these are still things left to be reckoned with as time goes on and people have space to process, but Iāll be there ready to accept it and hear their thoughts.
Letting go of all the guilt that comes with this is going to be a slow venture because i do not want to lose sight of the fact that i need to remember my actions were my responsibility. Iām going to keep working through this one.
Kind of a ramble but itās been a weird morning ugly crying on my elliptical run

At this point anything to help reduce the pain definitely very hard work 
seen gp today more pills added to the growing list
Asked about stopping smoking got to see him next week that will probably be even more challenging tbh
Iāve been that poorly even the thought of alcohol makes me fell sick which in a good way reminds me no more ever again
Thanks for your kind reply 
Happy sober Monday all

896 days no alcohol.
361 days no cocaine.
TW: mentions food, binge-eating, calories.
I reset my binge-eating counter last night, it wasnāt a binge in the same league as I used to binge, and everything I ate was a regular sized portion, but there were too many things because altogether it was 1,100 calories. Still pleased with the progress, but want to be truthfully accountable.
I didnāt get to sleep until 5am, my mind was wide awake, I even went for another walk at 2:30am, it was very peaceful and soo quiet, I was worried that even the sound of my footsteps might wake people, so I stayed at a distance from any houses.
My Diabetic Eye Screening appointment was okay, the drops they put in made my vision blurry for hours after, so Iām feeling very grateful to have my vision back again. Will receive my results in the post in 2-4 weeks.
I walked to the supermarket and got some good deals, but I also bought a big bag of crisps, and a big bag of salted popcorn, so I already know Iāll be resetting my binge-eating counter again tonight.
Tomorrow is the beginning of my new therapy journey, nervous to start again with someone new, but also hopeful that itās going to be very positive for me. Looking forward to it.
I have showered today, so I feel good about that as well.

Checking in day 141! 12 hour day at work, didnāt have time to work out this morning which throws me off. Hoping to get a break to go out for a walk. I have been doing green juice in the mornings the last few days (cucumber, celery, spinach, kale) and itās actually been so great for my energy levels in the morning, so thatās a bit plus! My week ahead is pretty loaded with work commitments so just trying to take the days as they come and not think too far ahead.
Wish yāall a great sober Monday and week ahead!

Even though you had to reset ur binge timer, i really see alot of positives in ur post! Im glad last nights binge wasnt too severe. I get like that too. Everything i eat will be normal sized portions but i just eat ALOT in general and then at times im confused about wether it was a ārealā binge. I like ur honesty tho. I am hoping ur new therapist is a good fit for u. Hope the rest of ur day goes well! And thank u for ur support with regards to my job. I had no idea that u also did that kind of work. I think at some point it begins to wear everyone down. Anyway, have a great day friend!
