It’s looking to the inland harbour of Utrecht with the old power station in view, with my back to the hospital I work in a new part of that town. No coincidence it looks alike I guess.

I’m sorry @DryIn785 that is disappointing news to absorb. Don’t give up 
@Minatasha you are amazing and you are worth it. Congratulations on 11 months 
@CATMANCAM i hope you are feeling better
Feeling fulfilled after some family time yesterday 
and refreshed after a good sleep last night. Been struggling with sleep lately.

Filled out more job applications. Freezing out here. 10° F. Feel very much like curling up and having a bottle.

Alcohol widens the blood vessels which gives a warm sensation but actually lowers our body temperature. Alcohol doesn’t warm. That’s just another lie alcohol tells us. It’s all lies. Stay sober Mark. Drinking doesn’t help with anything. It won’t give you comfort and it won’t give you warmth.

Checking in. I don’t know if I count yesterday as day one if I was throwing up for most of it so we’ll say that today is the first day. Again.
Feeling depressed and disappointed and wondering why I can’t just stay sober. I’ll be “fine” for awhile and then I just do something so dumb, hurting someone I care about. And then I wonder what’s it’s all for if I already lost the person.
I just want to get through today.

I know. I’ve spent enough time outdoors to find out the hard way. 
I meant curling up at home, while I still have one

Well that won’t help you with anything either. It’ll just put you down deeper. As I know you know. While I also understand the pull. Don’t believe the hype friend.

sorry you’re feeling angry and like a failure, maybe this is something to talk about when you speak to a doctor? Sending strength

@DryIn785 good luck with your job search 
@hit_the_switch welcome back
920 days no alcohol.
385 days no cocaine.
8 days no crisps.
7 days no vape.
4 days no binge-eating.
Went for a drive to my hometown this morning, to collect my NRT products, also got a hair cut whilst I was there.
When I got back I went straight out for a walk to the supermarket to get some cleaning products, and squash as I’d completely ran out.
Did my meditations and chilled with my cats.
Then, I really had to push myself before it got dark, but I made it out for my afternoon walk round the lakes.
Now, more meditation, then catching up with the episode of the show I missed last night, before tonight’s episode starts at 9pm.
I’m also hoping to shower between now and then.

Day 40. Survived the dentist this morning. They were kind and understanding. But now everything is sore. Missed IOP because of that appointment. Trying to work this afternoon. My anxiety actually isn’t too terrible but I’m in a bad funk. I realized I’ve just been living in survival mode for so long and not really been living at all. Really the best I can still do is focus on taking my meds, eating somewhat healthy foods, shower, go to therapy, and now attempt to work. And that last part is a serious challenge. And the shower doesn’t always happen if I don’t have to go out. Actually above all else I take care of my cats. They help get me out of bed in the morning. Not sure where I’m going with this. Just rambling. One day at a time.

I remembered today that your 1 year was coming up. Looks like I missed it by a few days. Congratulations Dana!! This is a huge accomplishment, as you already know.
Much love and I am so very happy for you!

Checking in day 165! Move in went relatively smoothly yesterday. Feeling pretty down and tired today- I think just the move and transition, and the emotion of my ex’s relapse and what not. Had therapy and meeting earlier, at work now. I took off tomorrow to finish unpacking, get some more things for the house, and to just rest- my boss understood. Still nice to be able to use time off for this kind of thing instead of hangovers. Hope y’all are having a good and sober Thursday!

Happy Fridayyyy.
This week feels like it went faster working from home 2 days. How awesome 
We have sleepovers all weekend with the kids, we seem to have lots of kids over lately since we moved into the new house. It’s been lovely, the kids are loving it. My husband and I are a bit over it haha.
323 days, keeping strong. Life is so much sweeter without having to chase my next beer and I keep telling myself that as much as I can.
