Day 918
@Faugxh Thanks for the shout out. All is well. Still practicing progress not perfection. 
Sounds like you are too. 
Have been a little in my head and allowing my favourite character defects of self-pity, withdrawing and resentment ruminating. Honestly, not being at work isnāt helping. I was really looking forward to the time off to do stuff, but I have not been taking advantage. I actually covered a friendās class today, and just the having something to do really pepped me up. I am not good at self-motivating. However, the fact that drinking doesnāt even cross my mind is wonderful.
It was cold today, and maybe that was why both kids were eating bloody constantly tonight. I made a big pot of curry for today and tomorrow and it has all but gone! Grateful they are healthy

Day 260. Good morning, had a great gym session yesterday. Still climbing well in numbers, group session today and then gym. Feeling relaxed, was told yesterday itās not looking like until June for me getting my apartment. Kind of made me start second geussing myself. That would be over a year here in the house, part of me doesnāt want to do that. But I geuss patience and acceptance are my answers here today. Anyways hope you all are well much love grateful for breakfast this morning, grateful for being able to shower myself, grateful to hear the sounds outside.

Morning Check In
Day 367
Thank you everyone for the continued congratulations on my 1 year. You all are so thoughtful! 
God is working full force in my life today. Yesterday evening i found out that the debt i owe my family (which has been a huge stressor for me) will sort of be figured out in better terms. Basically instead of me having to pay a high monthly payment due to the interest rate being so high, they spoke to the bank and they are able to now make it a lower fixed interest rate. So basically in 5 years i will be completely debt free if i pay $650/mth which is much more doable and more realistic. Im grateful that theres an end in sight for when i wont owe anyone anything anymore. So im very excited about this!
This days plans are to get my son on the bus, exercise, do a meditation and probably work on my self love workbook. Just do a few things for me. Maybe a nice lavender bath. Do some cleaning. Thats really about it honestly. Hope everyone has an addiction free day!

Canāt you help people with a dialysis when they have an alcohol intoxication? Iām just curious.
Nice! A full sober week! Good work?
What did you do to your hair that would scare away the delivery guy?
Or do you wearing your alien costume out of frustration?

Damn man I feel like I have missed a whole lot not being here much lately being caught up in my own head at the same time still having no thoughts of wanting to be loaded. Itās 6am and I leave for work in a minute with the guys but man itās like a light switch went off in my head this morning. All of a sudden felt the urge to contact other addicts/alcoholics to wish them a good day. So trip out man as soon as I had this feeling of āomg Iām snapping out of itā I think at the same time Iām going to read the āJust for Todayā from my book and BOOM! Whatās the title? āAn awakening if the spiritā.
I have alot of these what I see as God shot moments itās kind of a reminder that keeps me feeling like man what Iām doing today is what Iām supposed to be doing, and Iām right where Iām supposed to be. I donāt know I never know when my mind will change up on me my emotions and thoughts run wild sometimes. Iām just grateful I have moments like Iām having now recovery doesnāt always feel good but itās definitely better than I ever felt loaded even during the hard times.

@residentevil congratulations on your new job! Ao glad u stepped outside ur comfort zone and took that leap of faith for a new job. Hope u feel better soon!
@MooseTracks im sorry to hear about ur ex drinking again 
im glad that ur still staying on track 
@anon53116147 im so glad ur thinking things thru with re to ur stay there. 1 year is a long time but look at what it has done for u recovery wise. Ur doing amazing!!! They do say everything happens for a reason tho. And im sure these next few months will fly by! U wont be there forever 
@misokatsu im sorry ur feeling down and sort of stuck in ur head. Im the same way tho with being productive and having things to do really help me mentally. On the days that i have nothing to do, I usually make myself a to do list. I write down anythong that i have to do around the home as well as self care things too. Being abke to check off things from my list makes me feel good just a thought. Alsoā¦ i wanted to say that i think ur an amazing mom! They are very blessed to have you!
@alycia thats very exciting news!!! Im soo glad u jumped on that opportunity. Hoping everything goes well. I hate interviews and anything like the sort also. But change cam be good and u never know unless u try wishing u all the best!!
@soberwalker i love the picture! Thank u for sharing ur photos! What lego project are u working on?? I love lego but when ive seen the cost of some of them, it makes my jaw drop lol but they seems like a lovely passtime. I bought my mom a Lego bonsai tree for xmas that shes working on now. And i always help my son with his lego projects so i get my Lego fix lol

Showering was always shitty, because I tend to faint during my drinking time. Couldnāt eat anymore and I was just drinking all the time.
And now Iām very happy to be able to shower whenever I want again.
