#Day 1611 
Had a calm day yesterday. Planning to do the same today. Tomorrow I have to work again. Not in my best shape according work lately. I do not feel motivated. Hope is just a phase.
Today? Walk, finishing my Lego project, fix a whole in my daughters jacket and topping off the day with a hot bath.
Picture made yesterday, my eye catched that little white feather. Do you see it?
I 
those tiny nature things.
Have a good day all of you and donāt forget to celebrate every milestone with something good like icecream ore cake

I had a lot of catching up to doā¦
@Butterflymoonwoman Dana Big Big Congratulations On Your One Year! Iām so very happy for you. Watching your progress and reading about your life gives me a lot of joy.
@Twizzlers & @RosaCanDo congratulations on 500, ladies! That was a big one for me. You both deserve to be proud of yourselves. I appreciate you both!
@Misokatsu havenāt seen any updates from you. Hope all is well!
@Axsis so sorry to read about your dog. Really so sad. You wonāt forget the love you shared, ever.
@Mno if those travel plans solidify we gotta chat. 
@Nowenbrace Iām glad to read you did the right thing and donāt continue on with your relapse. But Iām also wondering if youāve done all the soul searching worth doing re this incident. Maybe thereās a few lessons in there to be learnt for you? Why you give your partner the power to absolve you for relapsing would be one of them for me. I wish you the best on your path, and I think our best we achieve via observing and questioning ourselves and our inner world honestly.

Hi Faugxh, Ty point taken. I know a big lesson there was I was ready to risk ābeing imprisonedā by addiction again
And
If there were more bottles in house I would have tried to get thoroughly wasted.
I will remember things and benefits of the sober life incl no hangovers and not digging a deeper bottom . ā Donāt want my karma ripening in that direction so I will stick with the Buddhist 5 precepts.
Thx Faugxh, have a great week friend.

Day 137
The cold is still there 
This mf loves me so much that this morning my throat tried to kill me again. Thanks God I always have any kind of medicine at home but itās decreasing fast 
I had to call my hairdresser this morning bc I wonāt make it on Friday, she almost didnāt understand me bc my voice is still uhā¦ letās say I have a nice deep voice haha!
Still not thinking about drinking. When having a cold in the past it was common to have a āGrogā, I know this from my parents. You mix rum with honey and hot water. Horrible taste and it has no benefits for your body when itās fighting a cold. Alcohol was so common in our family, itās creepy.
Itās 11:30 am and Iāll now put away my cellphone to have another nap.
Later I must wash my hair, I want to buy some groceries online and I donāt want to scare away the delivery guy 
Itās more expensive but it helps so much when you canāt leave your home.
I hope youāre having a beautiful sober day friends and stay strong 
Edit: @Juli1 Iām so proud of you girl for taking the correct route 
Keep going!

322 days, so tired today 
An opportunity came up at work for me to apply for a permanent role, it doesnāt happen very often. Most people are employed under contracts that are renewed annually. And although I absolutely hated the interview process going into this new job, and Iāve only just done it, Iām throwing my name in anyway. Even though it makes me want to throw up, haha. Trying to push myself into the uncomfortable to grow.
Why does backing yourself and being put on the spot feel so bad?
Anywho, Iām also still on a steep learning curve at work, getting lots of feed back, learning, still new. Itās a bit deflating not having a grip on things yet but itās complex so to be expected. Trying not to beat myself up too hard.
Thanks for reading

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!
