How did it go, Frank?
Keep us posted on the new opportunity @Alycia
Iāve always looked at interviews as a reason to talk about myself to someone ![]()
But remember, we still have two ears and one mouth; always listen twice as much as you talk during an interview.
Good luck!!
That sounds like allot of big changes but also so very exciting at the same time
.
I always find going back to basics works when everything else isnāt ![]()
Today marks 5 months sober for me. Iām just shy of my previous sobriety record (where I decided that I could moderate my drinking). The difference this time? I know to the very core of me that I cannot have even one drink. I will end up exactly where I was 5 months ago and that was a scary place. Grateful for my sobriety and this wonderful community. Have a great day all ![]()
43.97 days sober for me
and had to buy a new belt, and move my watch another hole over. So many benefits to being free of bad habits.
@Hollieberry so awesome that you came back! Itās inspiring to hear from people that slid back and then pulled forward again.
Thankyou
and well done for taking that leap at work Iām sure your be just fine.
I start teaching in a couple hours after lunch. Iāll check in after. Thx for checking on me!
I just pick them up from where ever they are and drop them off at the hospital so unfortunately I canāt do much. Like last night my shift consisted of a drugged driver who crashed and an intoxicated woman who was assaulted. The most I can do is treat their injuries, give narcan, oxygen, and support.
@Axsis Iām so sorry for your loss ![]()

@Butterflymoonwoman thank you ![]()
thereās no treatment until the later stage, but nothing that can be done in the meantime, apart from meds Iāve already been taking, so I donāt know why it has happened

919 days no alcohol.
384 days no cocaine.
7 days no crisps.
6 days no vape.
3 days no binge-eating.
Felt unwell all day yesterday, I was more purple all over than usual, and I had a suffocating feeling in my neck/throat, I know itās part of the Angina, so I did my best not to worry, but I ended up having a panic attack last night, got myself out of it by doing 3 back-to-back meditations, then felt like myself return to what is my usual state, and I also managed to shower.
Walked to the pond this morning. Itās an extra walk Iāve added in this week, to progress a bit from the lake walk Iāve been doing consistently, in the afternoon, for a month now.
Had my phonecall with the cessation nurse and was pleased to tell her I was 6 days no vape, she seemed pleased too, got more NRT ordered, so I can collect that before the weekend hopefully.
Iāve finished all the series Iāve been watching. They had good endings. Discovered a new season of Grace and Frankie so started catching up with that last night.
Today has been better, aside from the stress of battling with the cats to attempt to get them in their carriers, I even tried using the āCat Calmā spray that I purchased on recommendation from the groomer, but it didnāt make a bit of difference! I had the overwhelming feeling that I should listen to what my cats were communicating to me, that they didnāt want to go , so I called the groomer to cancel their appointments, thankfully she was okay about it.
Now, some meditations, then TV time.

Big deadline at work and people are crying and having meltdowns. Seriously they need to get over themselves and focus on completing the work that is in front of them. Ughā¦
Rant overā¦
Good morning/afternoon/night everyone! Thank you to all the well-wishers! Iām feeling a bit better than I did the last couple of days. Of course, yesterday I came across $20 and The Voice kept telling me: āYou canāt pay off any debts with that⦠but you can afford a traveler of Bartonāsā. I resisted, though.
Had a job interview yesterday, and Iām seeing my advisor tomorrow. Hopefully thatāll work out. A little mad & sad because I canāt see Theresa this weekend; I hope she doesnāt think I abandoned her. I have no way to call her or put money in her canteen, sheās probably wondering what happened to me.
Anyway, gonna make some lunch, put on some music, and do more house cleaning. I hate being stuck in the house, but we had another cold snap, and I donāt have any place in particular I need to go.
Talk to everyone later! ![]()
